Marshmallo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Probably more to do with your fans being cock ends. Aye that was a major part in him jumping out of the way of tackles, being incapable of playing a pass forward and failing at every single club he's been at. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yep Falkirk fans gave him constant abuse so I imagine he will be looking forward to getting one over them! McBride on Falkirk fans I actually agree with most of what he said to be honest. He said: “The Falkirk fans are embarrassing, they’re the worst set of fans I’ve ever played under in my life.“To be fair, 90 per cent are good but the others are embarrassing. Some of the shouts are terrible, like four minutes into a game wanting a substitution. “They change every week, it’s a new player they target every week, although I think I’ve had it from the start of the season. “That’s why I’m looking elsewhere. I won’t sign, I couldn’t play for them again, I don’t enjoy playing for them. “I enjoy playing for the manager and I enjoy playing for the team. This is probably up there with Motherwell in terms of the best bunch of boys I’ve played with and it’s definitely the best facilities I’ve ever had. “But the fans are an absolute embarrassment “My contract is up this summer but I’ve not spoken to Falkirk and I’ll be looking to leave, if I’m being honest. “It’s a personal attack. Half of the shouts are not even to do with football. “My old man’s not got anything to do with whether I play or I don’t play. I don’t here them shouting now that I’m not playing, but when I’m playing they shout that I’m only playing because of him. It’s an embarrassment week-in, week-out. “He’s a coach, I’m a player, I don’t look at him in any way other than a coach and I don’t get treated differently to any of the other boys. “I don’t know where my future lies now, I’ll leave that up to my agent.” I think this says more about Kevin McBride than it does Falkirk fans. His performances completely justified any abuse he started to take. Article such as these only made things worse for him. We were total toilet in Yogi's final two seasons and the seige mentality that Hughes created at the club extended towards Falkirk's fans. Moron's like McBride and Higdon were too stupid or cowardly to do anything but toe Yogi's line. He will probably play very well against us if picked but deep down, if he thinks that reaching the cup final excused his performances in his final season he's delusional. It will be interesting to see what effect 1st division football has on his one-paced and cautious style. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Gray Ate My Hamster Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Another McBride thread from One F.

Yoss Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm sure I've seen him play but don't remember much about him. If the Falkirk fans are as wrong about him as the Pars were about Simmons I'll be quite happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brilliant Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 That article doesn't reflect well on him or his professionalism, but I'm ready to judge him anew on his attitude and performances for us - similar to Simmons, whom I think many would agree is our best footballer. I'd be very surprised if he went straight into the team, in any case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) If Simmons is injured, I think he'll be straight in as he appears to be a like-for-like replacement. A couple of Hibs fans I know seem to think he's a solid enough player, though I've no idea how that reflects the general consensus. Won't offer us anything going forward, but is apparently decent at keeping the ball. We shall soon see. Edit: http://www.hibs.net/showthread.php?206799-McBride-to-Raith A couple of wee reviews there.

I'd be very surprised if he went straight into the team, in any case. I actually think he might. Would let Walker revert to right midfield which is where McGlynn seems to like him and then allows S.McBride to play wide left, pushing Ferry back to the bench. It woudn't surprise me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my thoughts also. With the type of player K. McBride is, it also means minimal disruption to McGlynn's favoured style of play. Harsh on Ferry (again), who I think can offer us a lot with his link up play, but such is the way of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, and in spite of all the bile coming in about the guy, we should judge him after JMcG has got him sorted out!! Remember when Simmons came to us? according to the Pars he was absolute crap, I don't think so. Give McBride a chance, if he is gash he goes at the season's end.

carlsson Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 "Defensive Midfielder" jeeeesus!!!! ....stalemate. We can't score goals cause the forwards have to come back and pickup the ball and then have no forwards to pass to, and we go and sign a "Defensive Midfielder" ?? First Division football next season I really hope I'm wrong -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consus on there seems to be the polar opposite of what the Falkirk forum is saying. I suppose the fact he hasn't slagged off the Hibs support might be a factor in that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think that with the players at Hib's disposal McBride's water-carrier role would see him perform some sort of tidy, efficient role in the side. At Falkirk, he just stopped any forward momentum dead. He's a contrary fella anyway, he used to love us. Falkirk made me love the game again. Apparently he doesn't like ugly, physical football. As long as he has more than 90% of Rovers fans in love with him and the rest of the division allow him the time to pick out McGurn with unerring accuracy things will be just peachy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time your fans tried to pull that, saying your team were on to a hiding, we lost. He'll be terrible no doubt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
