cdhafc1874 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Who decided that was a good idea?Apparently being able to take a penalty in 1st half of last season is enough to get a contract extension [emoji2369] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, he never really looked the part, from the current batch of home-grown youngsters, to me only Lewis Smith looks like he has true potential to make a massive difference to the team in the next few years. The other one I really liked was Leon Mccann, who they stupidly punted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of McCarthy, Ferguson and Docherty in particular. Maybe that says something about Scottish football, I'm not sure. But some of the lads we have offloaded definitely had ability, maybe just lacked something like a bit of physicality.

Lack of physicality certainly does come into play in the scottish prem, however as a lot of players are able to prove, technique can beat strength a lot of the time. The likes of Mimmnaugh etc I just don't see anything that would have them in a accies lineup I'd like. Smith on the other hand has shown definite glimpses of brilliance, he does however lack physicality. I'm keen to see more of this Tunde fella, if he shows some of the promise that Mikel had, then we could have some exciting attacks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not horrendous, I think from all that I've seen league one is more suited to his ability. He was on loan to Clyde, so that could be the destination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response Given McCall has said he is potentially looking for another attacking midfielder and with McKenna having headed our way from new Douglas park it’s not a completely impossible scenario he might end up at Firhill either I suppose. i see he did score about 7 goals last season for Hamilton Accies though most of them were from the penalty spot, it’s still goals and as you say could do well in league one. I have heard absolutely no link with Thistle but just thought it’s not an impossibility either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could still hit a heckler full in the face from a free-kick though. I was right behind it and swear it was deliberate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from converting penalties, he didn't show me anything that would warrant a starting place in our side or breakthrough potential. Whilst his wage was probably minimal, it could open the doors to some late signings over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeFlash Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Former Accie Rakish Bingham has just signed for Ebbsfleet United. 6th tier of English Football, quite the dramatic drop for Posh Spice's favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a player who was perhaps kept around too long under Martin Canning? Much as I wanted Rakish to be great, we should've all realised after THAT miss at EK he should've been punted. One premier league goal in 19 appearances in his final year for us. 76 games and 11 goals with 3 assists... isn't really good reading for our often lone striker.

I was right behind the goals for that one. Almost impossible to miss (good day out though). I kept waiting for him to come good, but it never happened.
