RandomGuy. Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Mccoist isnt close to the best player to "turn out in our colours", considering we played in the second tier at the time. Baltacha shits on him there. If you want to make an argument he's the best player ever related to the club then maybe, but again, Baltacha and Connolly probably beat him.

RedRob72 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 He seems to think it's annoying us that we, a second tier side at the time, didn't manage to replace one of Scotlands best strikers at the time with an equivalent striker. He seems to think that's a great way to "get back" at a Saints Fan calling McCoist fat. You think I need to 'get back' at Saints fans, what on earth for!? Good club, good fans, and have always been a decent side to watch, as far back as I can remember ( mid 70's) I responded to the 'Fat Sally' comment. Most (with no axe to grind) would have Ally in their Top 10 strikers this country has ever produced!, without question ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltacha was decent, John Connolly's too far back for me, neither of them won f*ck all in Scotland though!? Am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Stuart Beddie was signed (for £20,000) in the summer before McCoist was sold, something which the club realised was inevitable by that time. He more than played his part in the title win in 1982/83, before Saints made a profit of £70,000 in selling him to United. Not sure there ever was a direct replacement for McCoist though. Saints did break their transfer record the summer after McCoist left but like Beddie, Derek Addison was another midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon it's not that hard is it? We didnae really have to replace him, we had John Brogan.. Oh and for your information Fatty scored 316 career goals not the 355 you claim.. Brogan remained at Saints until 1984 and scored a total of 140 goals in 276 games for Saints. Fatty scored 22 in 57 games for us. We spent a bit of the money on a couple of players, Beedie that season, and Derek Addison and John Kennedy at the start of 82-83 season, but used the majority of it to pay our bills for the next few years.. Yeah, I know, that's an alien concept down Ibrokes way... On a side note. Fatty came back with Sunderland to play saints in a friendly. He scored but so did Beedie and Jim Morton as Saints won 2-1. We also won the league ( as a part time club) in 82-83... That's about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearwithme Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Ally McCoist scored 355 goals for Rangers in major competitions. Obviously he also scored goals for other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRob72 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 What did Mccoist win with us? Must have been tough for wee Ally, but he knew bigger and better things were beckoning him. He found them both at Ibrox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
