P-T-118 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 with all the talk of Novo signing for Morton and whether we would or would not be interested in signing him if he became available in January... many people say never because of previous diving, cheating, etc... but are there other players that we used to "hate" then were converted into liking??? Paul McGrillen Mark Roberts to name two to get this started.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 We hated Mark Roberts? I remember thinking he was a pretty uninspiring signing but don't think he was ever hated before he signed for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancipital Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Don't want to speak ill of the dead but I still never really took to Mcgrillen as a player for us although he did score a late winner down at qos which kick started the season. His goal at forfar was irrelevant as we'd have won the league that day even if we'd lost due to other results. As for Roberts, he was more of a "why sign him?" type of signing as most folk, myself included, thought he was rubbish. Couldn't have been more wrong.

Juan Kerr Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 McGrillen might have been a diving wee chunt, but it was fair diving What I mean is that he deliberately attempted to win penatlies, not feign injury and lie and cheat to get players sent off. Then dish out snidey wee fouls himself and constantly get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peagreenboy Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 We all hated him, but would anyone have said "no" to Dougie Imrie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 We all hated him, but would anyone have said "no" to Dougie Imrie? or Owen Coyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veejag Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I wasn't particularly chuffed to see Stuart Taylor in a Thistle shirt after his involvement with THAT Airdrie team. How right I was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Hated Jimmy Gibson when he was at Clyde! and Leigh Hinds, Paddy Keogh, Jamie Mitchell, Bryn Halliwell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stevenson Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 We all hated him, but would anyone have said "no" to Dougie Imrie? I can only assume you are joking. But just in case: YES. I would have objected. Luckily I don't think he and Archie have seen eye-to-eye since Archie did an Aero on him. Though I suppose it was Aero who did an Archie....

David Stevenson Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 or Owen Coyle I would have taken him any day. Even if he had been useless, it would have meant he couldn't score against us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydebankJag Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Willie McGuire..... .....signed from Airdrie and everyone hated him. Played badly most weeks and everyone hated him. Scored a hat-trick and everybody loved him. Went back to playing badly and everyone hated him again.

uberteeb Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Novo is in the upper stratosphere of hatred, I can't think of anyone we have signed from way way way up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norgethistle Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Chic Charnley was hated by us prior to us signing him......... but no where near the level of Novo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
