Paco Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I was saying just yesterday we should have a look at his as our Baird replacement. Clearly had ability but perhaps not the physique with us. I imagine there'll be competition but certainly someone we should be looking at IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I've just had a wee look, and according to Wikipedia (yeah, I know) Fez has more than twice as many league goals as Graham Weir does (58 compared to 28) in just three more games (250 compared to 247) You can use statistics to prove anything, but if you'd never seen Graham Weir play, you'd wonder how he ever managed to get a game for any club, nevermind forge a career in the game! Weir is certainly an enigma. The season we won the 2nd division he was excellent. He chased every ball, linked well with the other strikers and scrored loads of goals. Then he stepped up a level and looked utterly lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never really been the same since his injury and you never know if that goal up in Dundee had been allowed in the cup he may have started scoring again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 A striker hasn't scored for three years, and you're trying to claim mitigation for having had one wrongly disallowed two years ago? I think you'd agree that' a bit of a reach, even by p&b standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware he hadn't scored a single goal since leaving Raith Christ that's pretty bad! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He has scored for Stirling I believe..? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He has scored for Stirling I believe..? I thought he scored not long after signing for them. According to sky sports he has scored 1 goal in 15 appearances for them. Ferry has scored 6 goals in 17 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Part time is the way to go it makes total financial sense having 3 or 4 full timers in the mix won't hurt things either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 He has scored for Stirling I believe..? I don't think so. We're fast approaching the 3 year anniversary of his last goal... I can still remember some people saying we should have kept him. As for Ryan Wallace - We'll leave that as a rumour for now. What I will say is that he has scored a barrel load of goals this season and deserves a chance at a higher level. I thought he looked like he had some ability when he was here, but he was a complete shitebag and drifted out the game too much. Maybe that had something to do with McGlynn punting him on the wing, though? He's doing well enough being played up front, albeit at a lower level. I do think a player like him will be what we aim for next season, and he would be an archetypical McGlynn signing. No complaints for me if we do go back to bringing back some PT players - that's what we should be doing to keep ourselves within budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers lad Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) He has scored for Stirling I believe..?

pub car king Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 We will need to add fire power in the summer because Baird will be away when his contracts up which is fair enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Some sources show him having scored for Stirling, there was a goal incorrectly credited to him by the Press Association on the day. (Aptly enough, the goal was actually scored by .... Mark Ferry.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Aye he got credited with a goal but it was actually Ferry that scored. You can imagine when he got home, wife has got on the champagne ice has he comes in the door... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversMad Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Didn't his goal drought start around the time he got married? Yep, his wedding was the same day as the play off final, thankfully we won the league anyway, IIRC his last goal for us was at the end of the season atHampden against Queens Park, some strike it was too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor147 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Part time is the way to go it makes total financial sense having 3 or 4 full timers in the mix won't hurt things either. What does a full timer do anyway. They only train a couple of hours a day (and not every day either.) Judging by watching the team they don't practice corners, throw ins or free kicks. They don't do any community stuff except for the odd occasion. I've seen the team at the local gym were they piss about for an hour. They don't even know how to use gym equipment. They are supposed to be professional sportsmen! Our crowds aren't large enough to sustain full time football anyway. Having a small , full time squad has been our problem this season. Players have been able to play badly knowing they will still be in the team the following week. Hopefully we can have a mix next season and a bit more competition for places. And some more wins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 ^^^Agree 100%^^^ Being full-time is like waving ur pecker about in the showers. If only more chairmen were less interested in saving face & more in tune wit planet earth....(yes that's you Mr Yorkston) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpaddyx Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'd sign Mark Ferry back in a heartbeat. Great player who was wrongly left out of the team for too many games (much like McGurn being replaced by McNeil but thats a different story). Anyone know if we have any chance of keeping Jason Thomson for next season? He has slotted perfectly in at right back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
