Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 If Falkirk paid Austin nothing then he must have the shittiest agent in the history of modern football. It’s Burton O’Brien so it could be possible but I would he moved for nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Back Post Misses Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 He needs to work out for us and for Hartley. It's a big and brave statement to move on Austin and replace him with Nelson so obviously Hartley trusts him to get goals. At the end of the day, the Austin of last season looked really promising however all this shite with winning best dressed person at horse racing etc seems to have made him lose focus on playing football. Drastic times call for drastic measures and hopefully Nelson works out well for us. Not convinced Nelson will be the only forward to come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drastic times call for drastic measures and hopefully Nelson works out well for us. Austin has been a chief culprit in totally under-achieving this season. Whether or not some folks think he should get a little slack for (a) having promise, based on last season or (b) not suited to the lone striker role, or (c) still quite young, he's been utterly rank and I'm not sorry to see him out the door. This season's performances are what he should be judged on, and for him that reads as a shocking lack of effort, application, or commitment to the cause; woeful ball control, and an utterly embarrassing desire to throw himself on the turf at any opportunity, including when within sight of goal. As GB said, wearing a pair of curtains to Hamilton Racecourse doesn't make him look anything other than a young twat who's more interested in playing the cool dude than applying himself on a Saturday. He's been completely ineffective and this season every other team's centre half could have played against him in slippers. Whether he comes back to haunt us, who knows; aye, possibly, but right now he's no use to us. Oh, and please take Hippolyte with you. 45 decent to good minutes every 5 or 6 games doesn't cut it either, whether we were sitting second top or second bottom. Another sand-dancer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer not to indulge in morbid speculation, like some of our fans, although I'll concede defeat if we haven't improved by the end of January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 The guy hasn't scored a goal all season and has missed numerous sitters . I for one can' understand why people are so pissed off at him getting punted. We're not a position right now where we can keep players that are struggling. Hartley has scouted guys like Nelson himself so he should have a decent idea of whether he' decent or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 There's been speculation that you lot are to take Darren O'Dea off our hands. I personally can't see it for a number of different reasons, not least because McCann still favours him and you don't seem to be weak at CH, but nevertheless, thought I'd share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balatoni contract is up after Saturday I’m sure with hopefully Gasparotto moved on to Morton full time. Watson should’ve been shown the door after the play off games with Dundee United in May. Leaving us with Grant, McGhee and Muirhead.Wouldn’t be surprised to see one of Muirhead and Grant dropped when we get new recruits in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got told the deal to bring Austin to Livi was done and hands shaken but Raith Rovers and Inverness came in last minute and offered him more money with the later offering substantially more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly certain we paid John Rankin f**k all when his contract was mutually terminated so he could play football elsewhere. I also think it's pretty savy and logical from an agent to take the chance of your client playing first team football every week on a similar wage when he may have been told he is not going to feature again and fester on the bench and out of the shop window.

Folk should know by now to ignore Mongoose. The above deal was more like a free transfer, a 33/34 yr old not playing, seeing his career out swapping 6 month contract on more money for 18 month contract on less, considering Rankin didnt have a club till after the season started, sure he would bite the hand off for an extra year The same clubs who are interested in Austin now, wouldve been interested in the summer too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe shouldn't read too much into the signings of those two though, as both were outwith the window therefore Hartley's options were decidedly more limited then. Rumours of guys coming in from England, Hearts reserves & Celtic reserves are more like the sort of players we should be at least aiming for. We'll soon see... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
