Sweet Pete Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Willie Gibson & Ross Caldwell. Gibson's an enigma. Plenty of talent, but a total arsehole with it and a real tendency to frustrate punters by overplaying and picking the wrong option, trying to be Ronaldo and beat his man 3 times when just beating him once and crossing the ball is enough. His time at Killie was a mixture of brilliance and petulance and his finger gesture to the fans and throwing his shirt away when subbed in another incident left a bad taste. Think he's better than he is. However, all that being said, there is a good footballer in there and he has the mix of creativity, skill and arrogance that can be very useful at times if it can be kept in check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed (I'm only guessing in any case) but Aitken seems to have had him in good form at Stranraer last year and there doesn't appear to have been any tantrums. If Stee can keep him in check then I'd be happy to have him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Not keen on the Scottish football needs a strong Ranjurs muck. Not a particularly endearing comment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 To be honest I'm not really that arsed about his passing comment on Rangers. He's hardly dishin' out saltues and playing the air flute. Not that I agree with what he's saying mind you. I reckon Gibson will be one of the signatures this week. Caldwell is also a good shout. Liam Buchanan signed a new deal at Alloa yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 He's basically promoting our league, and it most likely has been financially beneficial, although I would have preferred to be facing motherwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) I'd be pleased with Gibson, Stee managed to sort his head out last season and that seemed to always be his biggest downfall. We've been missing a horrible, irritating guy to generate seethe from opposition fans for a few years. Hopefully he'll be that man!

Thommo90 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Are we getting this gibson or is purely speculation? I said a while ago we were looking at a hamilton player, it was a young guy called mcminn (or similar) and Murray is now perusing him for St mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimistic Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) I may be wrong, but I wonder if all this Clyde/Dumbarton player trading, could have anything to do with highly rated prospect, Scott ferguson coming our way? I think Murray tried last year Edited June 1, 2015 by optimistic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 A few of them have had a meltdown for us telling them Gils is a good signing for their level. If we signed Scott Ferguson we'd need to get Samaritans involved. He would require a fee so can't see it happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just guessing at the Gibson shout with the "experienced player at this level" comment in his interview. More than likely well off the mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely well off the mark. Adds up I guess, he has played a lot of his career at this level/worked with aitken down at stranraer. Anyone find it weird why we won't just say who they are ? Or is it a case of not saying they have signed until they actually sign the contract to avoid what's happened with aggy and chase? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I doubt it as he signed up for them for this season. I would doubt he's good enough for the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine it's a case of not announcing it until the signatures are on the contract. Don't want to look daft and would rather avoid other clubs trying to swoop at the last minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 All the best to Gilhaney. It's not often you get a player who sticks around a part time club for as long as he has. Good player and will probably end up at ClydeTold ye 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to look daft and would rather avoid other clubs trying to swoop at the last minute. I think it's probably as simple as trying to get three or four part-timers in the building at the same time, and getting the forms processed. I imagine SA would be setting some sort of deadline with the 'existing' guys who were offered deals - if they wish to remain then fine, but if not then let's all move on, literally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
