Good luck with him. :lol:

Cost us the league a few years back. As useless as a chocolate fire guard.

All on his own? That's some achievement.

Just seen a picture of him. He doesn't resemble a Christmas pudding therefore he is already an improvement on Gibson.

Some jumper the gaffer is sporting in that pic.

Certainly looks fit, don't know why he's pictured with the old home top when he plays in goal?

Slightly worrying about the new keeper, considering we got rid of two perfectly good reserves. Can only assume they both wanted to be first choice somewhere.

Still hoping we'll be looking outside the country for a #1, considering the lack of (improved) options available domestically.

McNeil came to us with a bad rep but after a shaky start he did well and was one of our most consistent performers. Had one or two dodgy moments but excellent shot stopper and was comfortable and confident at coming out for crosses. Most fans of his previous clubs had said he couldn't cope well with pressure and this was when he struggled the most and to be fair he was never really under any pressure this season at all. I imagine that he'll be involved in more pressure games this coming season so will be interesting to see how he copes with that.

Well usually when the goalkeeper makes a calamitous mistake it ends in a goal, and that happened a lot...so yes. All on his own. :lol:

Did Raith win any games against us when he was in goal, can't think of any. He got pelters from the Raith fans but had the last laugh when we won. His pony tail didn't help him any right enough.

As Andy said, was a decent shot stopper but flapped like feck at any high ball and usually dropped them.n

Last game of the season 2012/2013..Mcneil came up to take a free kick to swing it into the box for the equaliser at the 90th minute to make it 2-2. Then right from kick off we scored when McNeil just flapped at the ball which resulted in Brian Graham getting to score a tap in for the winner :lol:. His Last game for us ????

Just the one then, that 3rd goal for Raith was classic McNeil.

GK Andy McNeil signs on from airdrie. Surely back up?

I'd be surprised if at his age he's joined to sit in the bench for a team in the championship. Despite the over the top warnings about how sh1t he is, he actually did well for Airdrie and I'm sorry to see him go. He had a slow start but I don't think he'd been playing much before joining (had been out in NZ) and once he got into he was pretty solid.
