According to this he didn't score for three seasons. https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=26216&season_id=138 TBF he was denied a perfectly good goal agains Dundee in the cup the following year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That goal against Dundee being disallowed was an utter disgrace. I still remember being subdued at half time because I was convinced we'd end up being put out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind on the Sportscene highlights Pat Nevin wailing "HE'S MILES ONSIDE, HE'S MILES ONSIDE" at that decision. We were hanging on for grim death at the end too, very nearly costly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I always remember his shout of ‘It’s like a La Liga game!’ Of course it is Pat... One of my favourite Rovers games that. 3000 away fans, Mark Campbell back in front of the fans before kick off, Grant Murray kicking and heading his own players to get to the ball as we defended for our lives second half, through to our first Scottish Cup semi final in almost 50 years and that Laurie Ellis goal and celebration . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Him and his brother still playing with Harthill JuniorsDid I dream it or did his brother play for us too? I’m sure he was either on trial or played in a friendly or reserve game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are now looking at a defensive signing, I wonder if the budget will stretch to all 3 or if one of the positions he was looking at previously will need to be sacrificed?

Enigma Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Did I dream it or did his brother play for us too? I’m sure he was either on trial or played in a friendly or reserve game?Aye, him did. I think as a trialist in a challenge cup or league cup game or something. He was basically a poor mans Graham Weir and wasn’t signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I know this is tired ground and my thoughts are known on him, but Jordan Thompson has just signed for Stoke for what is reported as being £750,000.

McGuigan1978 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Thompson deciding to virtually catch the ball just outside the box in the last minute at Easter Road, giving away a free kick from which Hibs scored to win 3-2 was some patter from him. That said, I think I only really, really disliked him, making him my second least favourite loan player, behind Barrie McKay, who I despised. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Was Andy Walker on loan to us as well? I hated him too but he hated and still hates us I'm sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Was Andy Walker on loan to us as well? I hated him too but he hated and still hates us I'm sure The Fife Free Press used to rate players 1-10 during his spell, and he averaged 3 point something or other for us, which was probably generous. We apparently wanted to cancel his loan and he refused, which doesn’t make a lick of sense to me, but there you go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) The slight caveat with Jordan Thomson was that he did actually start very well. Put in a great performance in the away win at Ayr the opening day and then up at Tannadice in the 2-2 draw. There was clearly a player in there - and he was very young at the time. He was absolute brutal pretty soon after that though, but I think it was an attitude thing mostly - he had absolutely chucked it. And to be fair, so did many under the absolute charlatans we had in charge that year. I don’t think you can really judge anyone’s ability fairly from that year. Attitude aye, ability... I’m not too sure. It was a fucking shambles. So maybe in an environment where he was happy, had actual real coaching/managing and a bit of maturity the player that was in there has come out. And then he’s improved from there. ETA: that handball at Easter road... f**k me. When that went in you just new relaxation was coming.
