colin 18 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ally is a guy who is part of the old pals brigade. Stevie Smith should never have been signed. He is injury prone, and not very good even at the division we are playing at. it's the same with Richard Foster. He is absolutely rubbish, bit because these 2 guys have played for us in the top flight, Ally signed them and never had a look at anyone else, hoping he signed the same player that was with us 3/4 years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Jela 20,361 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wrong we had a window remember that's how we got Templeton.....plus QP are a part time team so there are no professional contracts just compensation for training!Your own logic is a bit fucked tbh. By the time we'd played against him for the first time the only window we could have brought him in during had already been shut for 2 months. The next transfer window he was available to us he'd already went to Dundee United. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next transfer window he was available to us he'd already went to Dundee United.He was a free transfer, we could have got him before Dundee United and after we played Queen's Park 4 times last season - provided he was happy to be a trialist like Law etc ... don't see why he wouldn't?

King Jela 20,361 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 He was a free transfer, we could have got him long before Dundee United and after we played Queen's Park 4 times last season.Either way i don't see it as something to cry about. The hypothetical could've/should've/would've threads are the absolute worst. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hypothetical could've/should've/would've threads are the absolute worst.Fair enough but personally I think it's depressing that a guy that was a stand out on 2 of the 4 occasions last season that I seen anyway was available and we spend (at a guess) 5 times more on wages with Smith than he would have cost - now Everton want him after being a stand out this season for Dundee United.It's alarming IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanofwright 199 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Very alarming, truly is the old pals act. You've got to laugh at some of the decisions, either that or cry LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanofwright 199 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Actually starting to hope that john park rumour is true because I'm sick of this pish all the time. 9/10 of ally's signings are awful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next transfer window he was available to us he'd already went to Dundee United.The transfer embargo had another bit to it in that we could not sign anybody over the age of 18, on top of that though we should be looking at promising young players from our own league.

allgers 735 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 We could have agreed a pre-contract with him just like utd did....So the path for that would be, contact Charles Green in his world travels and ask him to sign a young guy on a pre contract, or am I wrong.

25 Minutes To Go 28 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Perhaps he was approached and wasn't interested.Brother is on my course. Guy is a Tim and wouldn't even go to Celtic nevermind Rangers.Liverpool have been watching him.Yeah, went to St Ninians. Wouldn't go to Celtic as he wouldn't get the game time to develop, correct move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Ehh?

Remember Mathers being pleased with the deals he made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryMc 2,394 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I actually don't remember many people on here really raving about him or demanding we sign him.

The boy would not have played, unless people are advocating that we signed him and then McCoist plays him out of position, but surely not Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
