When the f**k are we actually going to get to play a game? "Best manager in the league" doing wonders up at Caley. No wonder he wants the season called now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) McDaid looked quite useful in the front three at Ayr behind Shankland. Tormented us when we played down at Somerset but he goes into hiding far, far too often. Wouldn't be absolutely distraught if we signed him but hopefully there are some better options.

D'Jaffo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I fully expected him to rock up at somewhere like Falkirk or Cove going for League 1 instead of ICT. He’s just not good enough for a Championship team at the top end and doesn’t have the fight for a team down the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed to get Jordan White a contract at a Motherwell team who finished third in the Premiership last year so it wouldn’t be the strangest thing for him to turn up for us and be a totally different player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Rooney should never be classed as "average/crap" based solely on his physical attributes and mentality to improve. One of the only players in the top flight who can completely dominate a flank, and I include Old Firm players in that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at ICT he looked ropey a lot of the time but seemed to just push anyone that got past him over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is repeating things and Mr Scouting Stats won't look past the physical attributes, but as much as Rooney is an outstanding athlete he was and remains the 'defender' with least positional sense I've ever seen in my life. He was still young when with us but we were his 4th senior club. It's not a surprise he's eventually improved it a bit but it's also plainly nonsense not to acknowlegde he's a prime candidate in the list of players Robertson turned far more consistent than anyone before did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney was described as exactly that when we got him from Queens and in the first season he was average. He looked great going forward but couldn’t defend. During his time with us his defending improved a lot and though I haven’t seen him play for St Johnstone I’ve no doubt he has probably become a better player too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If you really want a laugh you can just tell him Aaron Comrie is better than Shaun Rooney. He doesn’t like that. FYI having seen them both play against Ayr I’d rather have Comrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that Rooney had well above average physical attributes, and his mentality to improve is also well above average, so folk playing him down as a young defender were doing him a disservice. His technical ability/reading of the game below average, but overall his physicals/mentality would always take him to the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I said to Dunfermline fans, Comrie might well read the game better, but hes too small and weak to play for us, or likely any top flight side who want to finish in the top half. Rooney may well be a worse defender (hes played CB for us more than well in the top flight), but by being so quick/strong/determined, he'll more often than not having the beating of wingers. Comrie was finished once the winger was past him. Edited January 24, 2021 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
