He was also a bit of a c**t with a whiney accent. I was sure that he was signed because he was comfortable with the ball at his feet unlike big Lindsay Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Rhodes was a total p***k at player of the year event as I remember. Was obsessed with showing everyone his watch and telling them how much it cost. He won a few awards and left with them in a bin-bag apparently. To caveat - I read this in the much missed Wendy Who fanzine, wasn’t actually there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can remember him showing off in league cup game at Kilmarnock before getting lobbed for equaliser shortly afterwards. We ended up winning 3-1 after extra time. Must have been 1992, Killie on rise up leagues at the time. As ever with these memories there seemed to be a huge crowd there, ground was mostly terraced then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeryAverage keeper with a super size ego who made easy saves look hard.He was only around 30(young for a keeper ) when we punted hiim and only played 20 or so games for Airdrie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Played over 100 times for Saints in a fairly successful period for the club. No bad for a very average keeper with an attitude problem. My favourite moment was a fantastic penalty save at Tannadice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 He only left cos we got relegated didn't he, so probably would have stayed for longer? I'm sure he was in all the papers going on about being too good for the first division etc and expected a rake of big clubs to come in for him. Ended up at Airdrie. He was a showman, and full of himself, but I remember him as an excellent shot stopper. I remember a story I heard about when he played at Dunfermline and they were getting pumped 3-0 or something by Dundee at half-time. He came into the dressing room giving it "what more can I do boss?" as he'd made a few saves, and was obviously trying to distance himself from the debacle. Jocky Scott, who was Pars manager at the time, snapped "try keeping the fucking thing out." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Played first half of the season after we got relegated I’m sure until we signed Main? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the crowd was bout 7,000+ there against St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paris Hilltoon Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Was that the same game where Tommy Burns went clean through, lobbed Rhodes, but it then bounced over the bar? If so, I remember Killie bringing a huge support for that, which was even more impressive as it was a midweek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the crowd was bout 7,000+ there against St Johnstone. That sounds about right, we lost to Rangers 3-1 in semi at Hampden. The Scottish cup game was later that same season I think. Killie battered us at McDiarmid (must have been a replay as midweek?) including that Burns effort but we won 1-0, John Davies I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Just had a look on WAP, Gary isn't getting much praise for his work C'mon Gary we know you read this, or at least you fucking should!! You're meant to be a Saints fan, which I questioned in your first week, you're meant to be qualified for your relevant job, which I again questioned in your first week, come give us the lowdown on your ideas and we'll help you out where you're going wrong and praise you if you have any decent ones. You've been in the job a wee while now and the results of your work resemble the Dundee playing staff, not sure if it's fair to blame yourself for being out of your depth or Wee Broon for sitting through the interview and thinking "you're the one for me, yip, you're definitely the man I want for this job". I don't like kicking a man when he's down or slating someone who's hands may be tied so c'mon Gary, put your side across, even in a pm, much love Tam x.

RandomGuy. Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Tbf he's not got much chance. Seem folk on Twitter moaning about no Saints magazine last year as it gives them something to collect, same folk now moaning we're wasting time on a Saints magazine as nobody reads physical copies anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem folk on Twitter moaning about no Saints magazine last year as it gives them something to collect, same folk now moaning we're wasting time on a Saints magazine as nobody reads physical copies anymore. Lets compare his work to clubs of a similar size, is he doing a good job? Let's compare him to his predecessor, is he doing at least as much good work as Ross? Has the content/output of his work been new or exciting for you as a fan or consumer? Do you think he's even a St Johnstone fan? Not that it matters, although they made a bit of a deal about it when he arrived. If the answer to these questions is below 75% I think he deserves as much criticism as he gets. I'd like the boy to have his say though, fairs fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
