Yeah Charlie was one of the greatest players of his era altho theSFA selectors didn't think so!

That has also gone out of fashion. Was reading an article a couple of weeks ago about the modern game almost completely eliminating the traditional goal scoring centre forward.

Great name Wullie, but my favourite player of that era was the man whose photo I use, that of Charlie Aitken.

"Abandon hope all who enter here!" Run, Willie, run!

Its the guys in front that gave him the clean sheets some games he never had a save to make. He's just an average keeper in a good team.

I think I read somewhere that he's one of, if not the best, distributor of the ball in his position in Scotland. Which is a huge part of the skillset clubs look for from a goalkeeper nowadays. There's a reason why clubs are sniffing around him.

Yup , appreciate your view pal and see where you are coming from but for me he is an average keeper

But not with his particular skillset, which is a requirement for how we play now. Those better keepers from years gone by might not be a great fit for how we play today. In the past, it was basically a case of looking for someone who could stop shots and be decent coming for crosses. Changed days.

And goalscoring not a priority for hendry and RCC 🤣

And probably better. His clean sheet record great but just my opinion, we have had better keepers over the years

Any keeper who replaces Ward, if we sell him, will more than likely come with the same attributes.

Celtic, Wycombe and Jagielliona Bailystok no less. The ship has sailed on keepers with shot stopping and crosses skill in the same way defending and tackling is no longer a top priority for full backs.

Probably usual bull but apparently sellik interested in Ward, that's fine...sell him for £1.5 million, sign a replacement for 1/5 the cost who will be as good if not better. I like my keepers saving shots and good at. Crosses

Bellshill can win the league tomorrow without kicking a ball...should Threave lose or draw at Lesmahagow, then its mathematically over. 2 home games remaining, on the 2nd of May v Forth and 9th May v Lesmahagow...both 2pm kick offs

The gaffer

Ba bum ???

I’m sure Willie will find out 🤣

It was Willie Miller of Hibs that done it.

Should be warn Willie about my jokes and MJC's positive vibes? 🤣🤣🤣

Nice username. Are you any relation of…

Aye infront of the main stand as well. Put him out the starting eleven of the cup final team they targeted him right from the start of the game . Hated Hibs even more after that.

Welcome aboard and hope you enjoy Steelmenonline

Welcome to the site. It’s a real balance of people who are quite positive and people who expect and predict we are beaten in every single game. I know all about the ancell babes and I can still rhyme off the 1951 league cup winners and 1952 Scottish cup winning teams by heart as it was drummed into me as a kid but my earliest memories are the late 70s so I missed the boat watching the ancell team unfortunately.
