Guest Back Post Misses Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Okay, I'll rise to that one, and ask this - in his time at TFS, is he remembered for - his dynamic bossing of the midfield ? No. Hard graft? No. Good work off the ball? No. Tracking back? No. Heading ability? No. Tough tackling? No. Shooting ? No. (only 1 goal I can remember, v Accies). So what exactly does that leave that makes him a " good footballer" ? He did have a right good game at Inverness when we relegated them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Fitzgerald Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 What Alloa need to get them out of this mess is David Weatherston, the ultimate professional who would give his all to any club he played for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 What Alloa need to get them out of this mess is David Weatherston, the ultimate professional who would give his all to any club he played for. Had him last season, looked not too bad in the 25 minutes of football he managed to play for us in a year. Now at Brechin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilky1878 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Only your club could make Marr look like a world beater and Weatherston useless, look where it's got you. Got us in the championship. One of only two part time teams that can say that this season. I'll take that like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 well this has been the longest trial I've ever seen anyone have I'm sure he's singed He did leave the club earlier in the season for a short spell with Rossvale Juniors, but obviously returned.

Waspy Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 well this has been the longest trial I've ever seen anyone have I'm sure he's singed I'm sure Hardie was released or something following his off field antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluegrass Bairn Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 He did have a right good game at Inverness when we relegated them. So, one good game, then. Not much of a return over his time with us - irrespective of the thorny matter of his reportedly inflated wage. And a performance I clearly don't remember, probably because I watched that day through the gaps between my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a huge underachieving waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

printer Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 the fact that Weatherston plays for Brechin and is behind Isaac Layne in the pecking order sums him up! It doesn't really though. Weatherston was at least twice the footballer Isaac is. He is completely injury prone though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluegrass Bairn Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 You forgot to read my key clause, 'clearly has no idea about the game'. No, I did indeed get your caveat, thanks; but given the (non-exhaustive, but rather fundamental) list of what he clearly couldn't do at Falkirk, I was rather hoping you were going to enlighten me. So, again, what does he do that makes him a good footballer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, again, what does he do that makes him a good footballer? Excellent game awareness and reader of the game, top class first touch and ability on the ball, decent pace (that's gone now to a large extent) and his quality and range of passing is probably as big a strength as any. He's so talented that Blackburn Rovers paid £300k for him in 1999, when he was just 18. He played nearly 100 games in the English Championship. Etc He was a convenient scapegoat for many Falkirk fans because he was paid a lot of money; presumably he was given that deal because he was a proven player at SPL level? A level most of the current Bairns' first team would struggle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
