Hawk Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I was in the gym earlier and was able to see AJ and Sandy Clark in the distance on one of the teles being interviewed by Sky Sports News. Anybody catch it, or know what it was all about? Probably just Sandy using his media contacts to try and sell Nicky as he didn't manage it in the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Stephen Dobbie on goals on Sunday just now. He is slightly out of his depth compared to Stuart McCall, and isn't as media trained or comfortable as the others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broony88 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 He is slightly out of his depth compared to Stuart McCall, and isn't as media trained or comfortable as the others. Saw a little bit but have taped it and will watch tonight, he seems to be happy playing under Holloway again and hopefully put his getting out the championship experience to good use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 On a tactical knowledge and experience front he can't really compete with McCall and Kamara (At one point Kris Kamara was one the up and coming managerial prospects of the time, so he isn't as big a mug as he appears) Dobbie seems to be excellent for Palace, certain coaches know how to get the best out of people and I would love to see Dobbie get a decent crack at the premier league in the next few years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hope S McCall took notice of Dobbs today and maybe might let Mr Strachan aware of his talent at there next meeting! Dobbs is due a crack at the international stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liviqos Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 No he's not, he simply is not good enough to play any higher than the Championship or the SPL. In fact, as most people seem to think, he is better coming of the bench and is seen as a bit part player by most managers and that includes a certain Mr Chisholm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, as most people seem to think, he is better coming of the bench and is seen as a bit part player by most managers and that includes a certain Mr Chisholm. Whilst I agree that he's probably just lacking the athleticism required to hack it at the very top level, please don't ever cite the judgement of Chisholm as evidence. The man was a clown. Dobbie was the best Queens player I've ever seen and was certainly our best bet against any of the opposition we ever faced, in our division, in Cup ties and even in Europe. That Chisholm sometimes thought otherwise - preferring, incredibly, Stewart Kean on occasion - says so much more about the managerial buffoon, than it does, the player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisholm sat Dobbs on the bench in our european away game and instead started with Kean (now with Stenhousemuir). Tells you all we need to know about Chis. Best player to grace Palmerston in my era and doubt I will see such ability ever again in a queens jersey. Doubt he is good enough that he would be a first 11 Scotland international but definately good enough for a call up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The SPL is probably around the same level as the Championship (Celtic excepted) some teams aybe lower. Dobbie adds something different and is he any worse than Leigh Griffiths, Chris Iwelumo or Don Cowie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, it's streaks ahead of the SPL! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Noticed Dan Orsi wasn't in Annan squad yesterday, anyone know why? Hope the boys not injured. Loan period finished according to an Annan fan on 3rd division forum. Could have extended but went back to fight for place which is good to hear. With 3 regulars missing from Ramsdens final he`s pretty certain to be involved in that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it must have been that, yes he started the semi final so sure he will be in final squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His loan doesn't finish until Wednesday. I've no idea why he wasn't in their squad on Saturday but it wasn't because the loan was finished. He went for 28 days on deadline day (31st January). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffcsam Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 So, when you lot go up , Will the wee bar below the main stand still be as welcoming as it was the last time I was in? Great wee place and I left my scarf there to put up on the wall . Oh, also got a free beer for that gesture 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred Andy Thomson to Stephen Dobbie, but that's just my opinion. I liked Ted McMinn over Jimmy Robertson and John Dempster over Jimmy Donald. I do agree with some posters that Stephen Dobbie is much better than some of the shyte that has represented Scotland in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
