We need to step it up a bit, sign a couple of right backs then bench them too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdiBairn Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) I stand by what I've previously said about Scott Shepherd(and no I don't know him in any way). He's proven whenever he's given the chance to play and start games in his proper position upfront that he will score goals- both at Edinburgh City and our development squad. Too many judged him(and abused him outrageously) based on 5 minute sub appearances at right wing. Even in those, he was nowhere near as bad as some are desperate to make out. Why abusing a young man who came through our academy seems to entertain some people I have no idea. He'll go on to have a very successful career and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him pass us by in the future. All the best Scott. Some people on this thread should be ashamed of the way they've treated a player who's barely played for us over the last few seasons.

I repeat what I said to you the last time you came out with this nonsense, saying someone isn't good enough is not abuse. Where has he been abused? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn Necessities Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Shepps was w**k . I still reckon that two year deal from Houston was a f**k you to someone. Ultimately all of us as it turned out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only remember 1 versus Montrose in the League Cup but apparently has 3. So 3 in 70 matches.... And you think he'll pass by us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested as to why you're so keen to 'criticise' someone who's not played for us for 2 seasons yet you haven't once criticised Paul Hartley who's had a disastrous start this season.

FalkirkLad Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 He’ll go on to pass Falkirk oh my, aye he probably will on the bus to his part time job, absolute dug meat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Yes, he also scored a cracker v Cowdenbeath in the league, and a header at Somerset Park in the CC. He'll never play this high again, but I think people went way over the top with their criticism when he's basically a young player struggling to make it as a FT pro. The 2 year deal was bonkers though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 year deal was bonkers though. Kinda how I feel. Probably guilty of being too harsh myself . His effort was always there. Just a crazy deal from Houston for a guy we already knew couldn't cut it in the Championship. He might have got a few quid from this payoff that he can use to go to college nor something as he plays part time or juniors.
