A very, very talented player who has been broken for the last 4 years, which considering he's still only 24, isn't good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An innocuous tackle on him in a friendly v Dundee in 2017/18 resulted in him missing 16 matches of the promotion season ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm certain Magennis got quite a heavy challenge by Mark O'Hara. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I warned the Hibs fans of how injury prone he was when they signed him. They didn't believe me. They do now.................................. A real shame as he's a very talented player, when fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 This has to be a percentages game being played by McInnes. Magennis has talent but no ability to stay fit. As he was one of our youth players, we probably stuck with him longer than we should, and some people were disappointed that he moved on, but ultimately it was the right choice for us, and presumably the right choice for Hibs to cut their losses. I suppose the question for Killie fans is whether this is money well spent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted to know what McInnes thinks I can read that in some random red-top, which will probably sound the same as what you wrote. My comment was aimed at the fans, unless, of course, if McInnes has a P&B account and would like to add their thoughts directly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you aimed it at the fans, I new that. Fact is whether you or me or any of the 5,000 + season ticket holders at Rugby Park think it would be value for money is irrelevant. Only DM's opinion is vallid. As a side issue what is it like having all things Killie living inside your head rent free ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which sort of goes to the point of my question before fanny baws above you went in a little strop. McInnes could 'get away' with gambling at Aberdeen. At least more so, imo, than he will be able to here. The margins are slimmer and the risks greater. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly the same as at Aberdeen the risky business he'd have done would have been coupled with more expenditure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie fans on here are notoriously touchy. After I pointed out at the start of last season that their squad was shite and they'd be in for a relegation battle, they spent all season calling me weird and saying Killie lived rent free in my head, and bizarrely, every time they won a game, posted comments like "pray for hendo", which kind of proved that, ironically, it was me living rent free in their head. Their behaviour could be perhaps more understandable if I'd said anything controversial, but I didn't; their squad was shite and a relegation battle did follow. Just be careful ric, you might become their new obsession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Ric is no Hendo & I mean that as a compliment to Ric. He made a fairly measured post that encapsulates my hopes & fears about Magennis, Hendo on the other hand truly encapsulates Rent Free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 @Hendo spent the whole season telling us how bad we were and yet St Mirren won a grand total of zero games against us and scored a grand total of zero goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadroj Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Aye no need to have a go at Ric here. Never said anything that was out of like. Hendo is still a weapon though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
