Mark Connolly Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 He is better than what we currently have at CB. Given that an out of date tin of Spaghetti Hoops would also be better than what we currently have at CB, this should not be taken as an endorsement of the signing.

The Saintee Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Surely Gunning can't start. He'll be nowhere near match fit. Have United had any closed door games during this break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 My optimism levels have just risen. Gunning FFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I find it hard to believe there are not better options out there than Gunning. Stupid signing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I find it hard to believe there are not better options out there than Gunning. Stupid signing IMO. We shall see. If we apply the theory that Gunning 'doesn't gie a shite', then perhaps he is one of the players that can play well when all around him are playing shite and feeling sorry for themselves. He's a character too, so may help lift the dressing room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have a lot of young lads around the team, Gunning's the sort of influence we don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aitchy Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I think Gunning will be a decent signing for you. Always capable of f**k up, but in the main solid enough. He is good at getting his nut in the end of a few corners as well. For us, interesting to see how Tommy Wright lines up tomorrow. Hopefully Chris Kane starts. Big game for Wotherspoon as well. He was quoted in the media this week as being annoyed at being dropped for the Killie game and that he used that as motivation when he put in a fine performance in the second half. The challenge for him now is to produce that over 90 minutes. Too often he has gone missing and not offered as much as he can. Hopefully tomorrow is different.

RandomGuy. Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 He was very good against Hamilton, and then Killie, so if he keeps up that level then he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'll reserve judgement on Gunning. We are in desperate need of some help at the back and I'm willing to give the mentalist a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dregs 83 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Gunning scored 10 goals in 99 games last time round. Better strike rate than any of our other strikers bar McKay surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Suggestions for pubs pre match? Train down from Aberdeen gets in before midday so plenty time for a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the City Centre, can't go wrong with either the Trades or Phoenix. Near the ground, The Snug or Frews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably go with the latter two. Meeting mates from the Borders at 12 then head towards the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Reserving judgement is always the easy option. It's also in most cases the correct thing to do. Fair enough he has played for us previously but I'm not going to judge any signing until they've actually played some football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumigoo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 That's a bold statement. Care to justify it? Just by the fact that judging a footballer before he has played any football is impossible (again I know we all have seen Gunning play for us before, albeit a few years ago in a different squad). I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. In my earlier posts I was referring to the fact that he's a tit and, potentially, a bad influence on the young, and possibly/probably, impressionable players we have at our club. I assume you don't need to reserve judgement on that, or on the fact that such things are important, or on the fact that there must be other free agents out there of comparable/superior ability that do not have a history of fuckwitery.

At the moment I'm prepared to give Mixu the benefit of the doubt. If he feels he is an appropriate signing for the club and has worked with him closely enough to justify bringing him in then I will support it until it does or doesn't work out for us.
