Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 At Falkirk he scored 17 goals in 3 months. He certainly never produced that kind of form at Hibs, Celtic or Sunderland. ETA sole reason? Harsh No but I also don't think Celtic or Hibs fans will class him as a wage thief either which is the reason for this thread, hence the title. Sole reason is a bit harsh actually. He did run the show that day and was by far the best player on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't. He's done really well and exceeded my expectations of him this season (thought he was mince last season), but he's still got plenty of mistakes in him, particularly with high balls into the box. He chucked our game against Dumbarton a couple of weeks back by flapping at a couple of crosses and literally throwing it into his own net one.

GordieBoy80 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Maybe not. What are we considering a wage thief? I always took it as someone who was pretty shite at there job which is the epitome of what Reilly and Burns were. I was considering a wage thief as someone you know isn't playing anywhere near as well as you know they can. See also Stephen Simmons (and most players who were picked by Stephen Kenny).

Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Rudi Skacel could be perfect for this. He's a hero down Tynecastle way but useless at Starks and was useless at Tannadice as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He derailed hibs in the league, good chance we may have seen Hibs out this league if they finished 2nd. Cup final, he turned up and I suppose he's hoping Blackburn reach a cup final this season. First thoughts Mark Millar and John Baird but already out. Ally Graham scored 200+ goals I'm sure, couldn't score in a barrel of fannies at Falkirk. Farid to an extent, I'd guess started around the 40 appearance mark in one season. I'd be surprised if he has surpassed that mark since he left, tho still received cult status whilst being injury prone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinny arab Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 David Goodwillie went from one of Scottish football's hottest properties to subbie for Plymouth. The term wage thief could have been invented for Rudi Scakel during his time at Utd despite the fact he is a legend at Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Paul Harvey, legend at Airdrie. Absolute wage thief at Starks Park. Still convinced we were sold a lookalike. Still our most expensive signing ever to add to the embarrassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Fitzgerald Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Wouldn't call him a wage thief but think Kenny Deuchar scored goals everywhere except Falkirk.Mark Kerr seems to have played some of his best football with us during his two spells but not always succeeded elsewhere.

Sloop John B Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just every player we sign from Raith seems to forget how to play football as soon as they joined us. Along with Grant Anderson going from dependable wide player to non factor I can also include in the worst Scottish 5 piece since the bay city rollers. Mark Campbell - Solid centre half turned into a junior player. Stephen Simmons - did alright in a title contending team was about my most disliked player of all time. Seems to have been competent at Alloa. John Baird - Consistent goal scorer but was utterly forgettable outside of the way he bolted to Falkirk and starting scoring again. Ryan Conroy - Managed to lose his sole advantage in his set pieces at Queens despite getting double figures from midfield most other years.

mackenzie43 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Sir Anthony is by far a wage thief..perhaps the likes of Scott Allan, Chris Killen, Maybe James Collins the other way for us, seemed to have a decent-ish scoring record everywhere he's been but was dire for us, but don't think he was classed as a 'hero' elsewhere.
