Andy_P Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 I don't know about that. There are a plenty things that you can level at McCulloch but to me he's in the Stephen Craigan mould of having got the very maximum out of his career he possibly could through hard work and a determined positive attitude. I can't really remember anything negative about his time with us. He was a hard working laddie who positively revelled in the opportunity of learning his trade alongside the likes of Spencer and Goodman,then earned us a fee when times were getting hard. That said I hope you're exactly right and they're right in the shit but other than some horrible memories of him in a Rangers shirt I can't say I've any grumble with McCulloch at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Agree with that on McCulloch. Had a very good career for what ability he had, and he also made us a few quid as well. I'm absolutely delighted, though, that he's relying on Dom Thomas to create goals for them. If that continues to be the case, they're fucked and we don't need to worry about automatic relegation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 McCulloch was brilliant for us and as other have said you have to respect his career achievements. Full set of Scottish medals, caps and goals for Scotland in big games, scored in the Champions League, played in the UEFA Cup final, played in the English League Cup final and played a couple of seasons in the EPL. That's impressive and all through hard work. Watching EFL highlights this morning and I saw Chris Porter has scored 4 in 4 games for Crewe. Also spotted Artur Krysiak and George Long throwing goals in the net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 A few clips of Murphy last night got me wondering - who was the last ex-youth player to appear on Match of the Day? McCulloch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Superwell Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'd have thought probably McFadden would be the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Robbie Leitch might be the next one? He's been promoted into the U23 team and he was included in a couple of Burnleys pre season friendly squads. My mate is a Burnley diehard and says he's well liked down there, apparently Dyche rates him highly. I don't know too much about the lad apart from thinking he looked good in the youth final. Pretty sure Craigan didn't rate him!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 The Airdre three all started today. Hastie with an assist according to the sky sports app Hastie's assist for Airdrie's first below. Full match via the link further down, he seemed quite involved.

Anyway, regular first team football at this level will do jake a world of good. Can see him being a massive player for us in the near future.

Gadgey Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 An oxford fan blog piss take to an all familiar story. http://oxblogger.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/george-lawrences-shorts-i-like-to-move.html George Lawrence's Shorts - I like to move it Marv it Saturday 12 August Perspective is everything in football. Take resting Premier League giants Portsmouth - Sol Campbell lifting the FA Cup is big, but far away, Danny Rose is small but very close. This can get confusing, especially when getting annihilated 3-0 with goals from a Tap-in Thomas, a wonder strike from van Kessel and a crowning moment from The Hipsters' Choice, Josh Ruffles Ruffels. Afterwards Eveals confirmed that Portuguese village team Hull had put in an offer for Marvin Johnson. He's rejected it screaming "I WANT MORE MONEY TO BUY ANGORA RABBITS". Crack out the castanets, another transfer tango begins. Monday 14 August When GLS was a boy, teenagers spent their time sniffing glue and looking at pictures of Linda Lusardi in a sexy cave girl outfit. Now they set up Twitter accounts called things like EFL Transfer Zone, promising to give you all the latest transfer gossip theyve read in national newspapers or made up themselves. Soft porn will never be the same again. The latest revelation is that Movin Marvin Johnson is demanding a Marv, er, move; "I need to play in the City of Culture, I hear 'A Short History of Tractors in Ukraine' is a triumph" he's alleged to have said. Tuesday 15 August Now Marvin aint movin or at least not at the moment, according to official fan gobshites Oxvox. He hasnt formally asked for a transfer and his agent isnt the same agent who hustled his move from Motherwell. So, that puts that one to bed once and for all. Wednesday 16 August Erm, on, off, not on at the moment, wish it didnt happen at all. Eveals has decided the way to stop teams poaching his best players is by not having a transfer window, at least not one during the season. Eveals spends his summers in his secret underground lair plotting the destruction of the club, so nobody would be able to get to him anyway. Cunning. Thursday 17 August PClot has an eye for spotting an old banger liable to break down on first use. First 84 year-old Mike Williamson, now a 23 year old Rover Metro for the week's worst trainer. A small has-been from the 90s with bad tracking? You might like to think of it as Martin Gray with wheels. Saturday 19 August Marvin wasnt movin much on Saturday as we lost to S****horpe. He was injured with a tight hamstring. That didn't stop his girlfriend from posting a picture of them on Instagram having a lovely day out together, #nofilter #familytime #blimeyhousesinhullarecheap. Monday 21 August In an avalanche of apostrophes, now Movin is movin to Birminham according to teen online soothsayer OxBible. Arry Redknapp has sabotaged Portuguese village side Hull with a £2.5m deal. KerCHING! All that Movin needs to do now is to hope his injured tight hamstring has cleared up sufficiently to pass a medical. Tuesday 22 August Meanwhile, in a surprise move - not least to the permanently bewildered striker himself, Kane Hemmings has gone to Mansfield on loan with the view to a permanent deal. Apparently he's quite happy, because he knows some of the players there like 'Macca' and 'Digger' as well as other members of Auf Wierdeshen Pet. The boy wizard Alfie Potter is there too apparently. The mystic Oxbible predicted this by reading the countless forum posts weeks ago linking Hemmings to the Stags. Hes also been looking into the tea leaves and is now predicting Marvin Emnes is on his way in, as originally predicted by a wholly reliable fake Oxford Mail Twitter account two or three weeks ago. So, in summary, Marvins movin before we start movin for Marvin. Keep up. Wednesday 23 August Not since GLS spent a whole lunch hour cross-checking James Henry's arm tattoo has a picture been analysed so much. PClot took the team go-karting on Wednesday as a team building exercise, posting a picture of the happy band on Twitter. Who was lurking in the background obscured by the hand of Xemi? Was it Movin' Marvin? Thursday 24 August Why yes, not only is movin' Marvin not movin', he's been movin' in trainin' following his "injured" "tight hamstrin'". Seriously, this is a catapostrophe. PClot is pleading with Movin' to focus on playin' well for Oxford and not be distracted by the transfer speculation that, of course, doesn't exist because he's not for sale and only Portugese village team Hull have had a sniff. Also, back in training, in a world where nobody knew he wasn't out of training in the first place, is Tap In Thomas. Apparently he's looking sharp and has even been seen trying some long range from almost four yards out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
