NeoGeo7 10,536 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So I see Hardie started again tonight and his blocked shot led to the first goal so again he's in the mix and doing well. Thompson scored an absolute peach for Airdrie and its led me to think about Walsh. He was an unused sub tonight for Dumbartons home game against bottom club Alloa so why isn't he getting started? Is this a case of him appearing better than he was due to the players he was around last year or does he really have the potential to be a first team player. Take a look at Ryan Dani alves sinnamon. He has been hyped so much over the last few years yet hasn't got any closer to making his debut for us and indeed he only made 1 appearance for Falkirk. the current board were clear that the previous youth regime was not working so is it just a case of us expecting/hoping that our current rank contains hidden gems when they aren't up to it or am I just being too early in my judgement of the youth players?

craigrfcc 265 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Probably fair judgement IMO, look at the likes of Robbie Crawford. An undoubtedly great athlete but possibly not right for our team. Seem to be back on the right track and that's all that matters now though. Would be hesitant on letting players go too quickly though, too many have gone on to do fairly well e.g. Hemmings, Loy and even Kal Naismith. Fair enough they weren't good enough at the time but they hadn't been given the opportunity on loan prior to first team football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEE 4,880 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Bit unfair to compare him to Sinnamon, we've seen Walsh perform at Ibrox several times. Every time I've checked he's been played for Dumbarton, admittedly that's only been three or four times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoGeo7 10,536 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just had a check on aird. Made his debut at RB in a 3-2 defeat to Montreal Impact. Looks like he was decent going forward but mince defending. The report seemed to reckon he was gaining experience to return here, personally I think he's one due for the exit door.

72barca 1,788 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd agree with that. The first goal was entirely due to his horrendous attempt at a tackle on the winger. The second goal was all the fault of the goalie and the third goal Aird wasn't very good at covering. He wouldn't get a run at full back in our present team. He hugged the touchline most of the night going forward but in defence he was clueless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,922 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 5 hours ago, Rangers_no1 said: Sinnamon made 4 appearances for Falkirk, I don't know what people expect from a 19 year old who was signed as back-up and Muirhead has played well at RB. He hasn't made a start for us because McCoist favoured Foster/Faure/McGregor and now Tav is the clear number 1. The lad probably won't make it here but some people are too harsh on him. Our young kids are either shit or get overrated on here, remember the hype around Mitchell on the back of a few games? Now where is he at? Did people expect McKay to have such an impact this season? I hope when the league is won, someone like Sinnamon get's a chance to show what he can do. Either way it's very likely that Murdoch, Crawford, Thompson, Gasparotto, Sinnamon, Aird, Walsh, Hardie etc won't feature much next season and some will be let go in the summer IMO. I think the only two out of them that will have a future at Ibrox will be Hardie and Thompson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the match. Your assessment is about right tbh. He was disappointing in defense, far to easily beaten. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson83 1,059 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Thompson is a great young player seen him few times now and will be part of our team same with hardie. As most people have said am unsure also about the other ones? Aird on loan till Christmas so can't see him getting back into our team then. Crawford out the door he's going to Rio Olympic Games to run ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Couple of my mates with Dumbarton season tickets Walsh looks every bit that level rather than a Rangers player - I've a feeling literally everyone out on loan are at their levels with the exceptions of Hardie and Thompson and maybe McCrorie Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's young - they all are - but you can still think a players got it or not the amount of times I've said someone won't make it to have "hes Young" rammed down ye lol - and they still don't make it - not you specifically just in general Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true, I don't disagree.

I happen to think it is. He is playing on the same league we're like Murdoch and now Hardie. Surely game time with us would benefit us more than the other teams. Billy King for 6 months is a strange one, why not give one of our own a chance to prove his worth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordandShield 189 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Gotta admit I liked the look of Walsh when he came into the team. Hopefully he can come back and prove himself capable of playing at our level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
