The Dude 20,026 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Fair enough but what about the 400-500 others?What 500 others?The goalie who was on the bench on a European final? The midfielder with CL experience? The kids on the books of full time clubs who still train with their parent club despite being loaned out to part time teams? The young players who came through at top flight clubs and have moved down the ranks due to a lack of funds in Scottish football? If Robertson was such an easy spot why did no one highlight him at the time? It was the boy Shankland who took almost all the praise after we played QP.

Robertsons name was mentioned on here last seasonNo I'm telling you that despite being a part time footballer just now there is much more to it than whether they are full time or part time. Did Stephen Hughes look a vastly improved player at the weekend following his spell at Dundee full time? Did Graeme Smith suddenly become a much worse player than he was with us by virtue of being part time now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,760 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I can go one better. My mum's family are rc Celtic fans descended from Irish immigrants.

The Dude 20,026 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 My mums family are as you describe AND I have a shit name. Poor bastard. I'm sure I've told this story a few times but my mum's maiden name is Lafferty. Going to a family do with a rangers shirt with Lafferty on the back gave me immense pleasure.

robertkay 39 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 TimWouldn't have signed for usNonsense! I know Andrew and that is simply not true, regardless of what team he supports he would consider any move for the good of his career - also its important to consider that they released him as a kid!

robertkay 39 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Having seen our U19s many times there is no way that this is true.The fact is that QP offered the lad senior football - so he would have been mad to join any U19s team.Added to this, that he now has over a season of senior football (and some at the top flight) and an International cap tells me all I need to know.

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Dundee United have accepted an improved bid from Hull City for Scotland left-back Andrew RobertsonMove this thread to general sports.

AllysArmy 2 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 To be fair the guy only got into the QP squad because of injury.He wasn't rated at QP before his decent run of games.We looked at 2 other QP players closely, though before moving down the leagues - one signed for Hamilton.
