boulderdomb Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Is Luke McGowan doing any good down in Ayr? I used to play boys club with him and imo he was never a 'stand out' player with us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't the question and to be honest my second point was more of a 'has he suddenly developed' than a dig which is great when written in text. However it does make you wonder why the typical stand out players (not insinuating myself as I can hardly kick a ball) don't move onto semi-pro or senior football - maybe that's why we've failed to qualify for a competitive tournament in over 20 years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May change this season though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May change this season though He scored against East Stirling in the cup and played the last 5 or 10 mins against Queens Park at Hampden but apart from that I don’t think he played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's a problem with Scottish Football as a whole. Scott Mckenna, who I personally didn't rate when he played at Somerset, is now the national teams main centre back. Its a funny one you've pointed out. Was a lot of great players when I was playing that went to nothing, myself included. It must be only a certain few that slip through the net :-/ Also, may I ask what team you played with him in? Meant to write 'did' not 'do' and wasn't meant to be a dig. I'd like to know where he progressed from, someone must think highly of him.

He got a very small amount of game time with the first team last season but it was up front rather than in midfield so it's hard to say much really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already talked about giving Ecrepont and Hare-reid a bash at first team duties, whether Luke McCowan is stand out or not, I think I'd like to see him more in the coming season and give him the time to prove what he can do. Younger players just need a little extra confidence to play better, Ian Mccall must see something in him. Edited July 11, 2018 by Roxanne's man Coz my phone automatically spells people's names.

callum-ayr Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 McCowan is a good wee player. Think he’s ready physically now when you look at his build and he can play. Wand of a left foot. Think he’ll get game time of some sort in the Betfred Cup and Challenge Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEd Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Ahem, his name is McCowan. He had a great season with 20s as an attacking midfielder and will probably feature on the bench again this season. How much game time he'll get is anybody's guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Agree with all our "players" from the past, all bring back great memories but another full back I didn't see listed was Gary Agnew who I always thought could have made it all the way if injury hadn't done him. Not to mention super Duncan George in the middle of midfield spreading the ball about and destroying anyone who had the audacity to contest a 50/50 ball with him, despite the fact he was half their size and weight. Hopefully this group of guys we have just now will give both us and the younger generation something to be proud of in years to come................ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so. Would like another cup run. The players certainly look as if they are enjoying their football. Its definitely a new generation, as the last time I saw players at Somerset play with such glee was before half the boys playing now were even born.

rb123! Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Someone on SRE FB page saying that it's the celtic youth goalie Ross Doohan who could be signing, apparently McCrorie doesn't want to come to us on loan but who knows if that's true or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a bit of a roaster so don’t particularly believe him. Why would McCrorie turn down a guaranteed game at a far higher level than he has played previously. He won’t have any other offers in the championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably it was Mark Shanks at the helm. Ludovic Roy? Edited July 11, 2018 by Roxanne's man 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
