Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 No ill feeling towards Telfer at all. Was very highly rated when he was with us an wasn't getting a look in under McCoist. That being said I'm glad he turned out to be shite after they were forced to pay full comp for him Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterD 7,430 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Not surprised. Superstar in the heads of many who hadn't seen him play. There's been talk a couple of times about him quitting football so he might now that he's done there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WadeWilson 4,670 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 No bitterness here. I don't mind Dundee United at all. I grew up watching the wee Jum McLean's teams batter some of Europe's finest. I am just saddened to see so many youngsters badly advised these days. John Fleck, Lewis Macleod, Mini Messi from Dundee United who's name I cannot even remember. Ryan Gauld, that's it. Billy Gilmour is the latest one and no doubt he'll fade into obscurity... Although from a Scotland perspective, I hope I am completely and utterly wrong.

Jimfanciesthedude 24,359 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 telfer got a whopping half hour from mccoist in a season when the league was won in early march, he was at a time in his career when first team football was essential and didnt get assurances at rangers, he left to look after himself, like anyone else would do for people to bear him a grudge is mental Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the best word but didnt want to swear Why should he have stayed if he had next to no chance of any first team football? Dundee Hibs wouldn't have been my club of choice either but they offered him guaranteed first team opportunities, which McCoist didn't. Plus they were forced to pay us full compensation for him through a sea of Thompson's tears, which was enjoyable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 TBH, I was more angry at McCoist for not playing him than Telfer for leaving. Good luck to the lad - it's still not too late to make it if he applies himself. Perhaps head to non-league down south. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's done nothing since he left so maybe McCoist was right not to play him and most of the people who wanted him in the team despite most of them not being able to recognise him if he walked by them in the street were wrong as usual.

I was angry at McCoist for making the lad assurances (was widely reported at the time) that he was in his plans, but then gave him one sub appearance. We'll never know how a run of games in League 1 at that time could have aided his development. But as you've correctly pointed out (with the benefit of three years of hindsight) maybe Ally was right. I hope he makes it as a pro somewhere, rather than quit football as others have suggested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I know Charlie personally, he is a good rangers man. Only reason he left was because of mccoist and his false promises. Was on a stag do with him recently and he was saying he had few clubs sniffing around, st mirren being one of them. He is a very clever guy and wants to study law, which he will do eventually but think he will continue playing just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, what's McCoist done since he left? The same McCoist who seen Andy Robertson get MOM performances against us at Hampden for Queens park but would later rather bring in his pals like Ricky Foster instead of spotting the talent in front of him.

Bydo 3,205 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It wasn't so much that he left that pissed me off, but rather the fact that Dundee Hibs tried to get out of paying us a development fee for him because it was the oldco who trained him up. Cunts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knees are sore from the gym and i find it hard functioning in general never mind running about a football pitch chasing long balls Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
