I've said this before but Main would been the league's top scorer if we'd managed to sign Chow from Ross County to play up front alongside him.

To be fair that would have been a special strike force

Almost got done by that fake MFC Twitter account. That's some amount of effort to go to for a wind up tbf.

Might as well add the link...because LOL.

 

This is going to cause an absolute outrage on Well Fans II.

On that theme, I always thought he looked like he was wearing slippers.

Chalmers wiki page contains this quite fantastic section :lol:

 

Chalmers signed a two-year contract for Scottish Championship club Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[21] and scored his first career goal vs Queen of the South in a 3–1 win, in which the ball quite literally rolled over the line after being deflected around the box by the defenders.

One of my mates once played 7-a-side with Joe Chalmers and says big Chalminho ran the show.

 

True story.

I'd imagine any professional player would look like pele compared to normal punters.

I can't remember where I read it but someone made the point pretty well using another player as an example - that a player like Chalmers, who we think of as "shite" was probably the best player in his school/boys club *by fucking miles* and was good enough to get a place in the youth setup of a big club. He was then good enough to stand out against lots of others at his age group and got to the point where he was offered a professional contract. He was then good enough at U20/Reserve level to convince the first team manager that he was worth playing for the first team. Only a minute percentage of people who are good at football get to the level he got to - so he might be relatively shite compared to top level footballers in Scotland but compared to us, he's fucking brilliant :)
