djchapsticks Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 8 hours ago, Jimmy85 said: Think of the worst player that's ever played for St Mirren then multiply his shitness by Shankland and you're halfway to how bad Reilly is. Edit: what's equally as depressing from our point of view is we'll probably sign Shankland. Whilst it may work out and it may not, the fact that we've given him a year and are still looking for another forward suggests that this signing isn't a massive risk. If he's good then it's a masterstroke by JR given how poorly his previous club rate him. If not then we cut our losses at the end of the season and move on. Hopefully the fact he's worked with James Fowler will be a spur for the lad although I appreciate that this was also the case with Alan Johnston. Thankfully, Fowler and Ross have both proven they are in no way sentimental, binning their respective POTYs from their previous clubs (Kyle Hutton and Scott Gallacher respectively) pretty sharpish last season when it was evident they weren't up to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 FWIW Reilly always seemed to tear us a new arsehole down at Palmerston and I wanted us to sign him based on those performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It's hard to say what Reilly is like as a player as he looked so lost and contributed so little. If you took any random punter from the crowd, fed them half a litre of gin and some sleeping tablets, blindfolded them, handed them a striker's shirt and sent them out in your starting 11 that's about the standard you can look forward to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect him to score against us within about 10 seconds of our first meeting. He's had a good rest for the last year so should be raring to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be presented with a sitter, which you either score, or, if you're Chris Iwelumo, you miss. Hence 'missed a sitter'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google agrees with me: Sitter: A really easy chance, usually in front of goal that a player then misses. I've literally never heard anyone say "he scored a sitter". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 If a sitter meant a missed chance then the word 'missed' would be entirely unnecessary in the phrase "missed a sitter". Wiktionary defines it as "a very easy scoring chance". I agree that it's pretty uncommon to hear/use unless someone misses an easy chance though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Gavin Reilly - it's a bit of a "mibbes aye, mibbes naw" signing but that's the market we're in. Mibbes aye would do me - the last time we were promoted from this division we had a Reilly in the squad so I'm taking it as a good omen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I don't think Reilly ever exerted himself enough to get into a position where he could miss a sitter. Fluffed a couple of penalties but mainly stood about looking lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't really done much up there but try telling any Pars fans he's not a fantastic player. Also, St Mirren fans.. meet Hawk. Hawk... meet St Mirren. Hawk comes free with each Gavin Reilly that you sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's it. Could we let them keep the gate receipts in lieu of a transfer fee? Not sure how (if) that'd work. And it wouldn't be very much, tbf. Probably muster £10k, at an absolute max. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
