trafficlight Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Well done Hatley by the way. A great debut. And a much better haircut than his dad had. The balding on top, mullet at the back look was criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 All this mythology about shirt numbers is just that - mythology. With all due respect to Uncle Phil, there have been players as good (and, dare I say, better) in my time that have worn number 10. The man will not be forgotten, and it's nothing to do with his jersey, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trafficlight Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Retiring a shirt when a great club player retires isn't something I'm a fan of, though I think it's more understandable when a player dies whilst wearing the jersey. I think it's a nice touch, done for exceptional reasons, though what the player's family think would be my first consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 To be honest, I'm not up with retiring the jersey either. If no-one ever wears it again, there will be no one to carry it on, to remind us of the shirt which our hero wore. However, the next person to wear it has a helluva lot to live up to considering our last three were McFadden, O'Donnell and Clarkson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bop Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Perhaps an idea for our player of the season to be allocated the number 10 for the following year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 That former Thistle player that's been mentioned - Simon Storey - played as a trialist for Airdrie at centre-half yesterday apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man will not be forgotten, and it's nothing to do with his jersey, Had it been retired after Phil passed on then fair enough. But I think it was the right move to give it to Clarky and now that he's away there is no need to retire the number. Best to keep it going and hope the next player who's honoured with the number 10 jersey turns out to be as great a player as Clarky, Phil and Faddy before him.

jo.mcr Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 cant see this posted anywhere else, but paul slane was a done deal to go to celtic at the start of this season, the only reason it fell through was that he got a taste of first team football here and at the last minute changed his mind.

So possibly NOT false then. tbf it has been posted several times previously and always along the lines of McGhee / the club having done the deal against the boys wishes.

jo.mcr Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Paul would obviously have the final say and when he was given first team football he chose to stay. so its 100% TRUE. The deal was done and it fell through, trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out that jo.mcr hadn't said it was Slane's doing. All cleared up now anyway. lets hope the club sort hime out - as I'd like him to hang around for a couple of years. beggars belief that one close season Mcghee calls him the new Robbie kean then tries to offload him a season later.

johnstone Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Aye the more and more McGhee is away from the club the more and more we are finding out about how shoddy he was in building a future for the club. I still find it astonishing that we had players of the quality of Forbes, Slane, Hutchison and McHugh sitting in the youth teams when we were struggling last season to find any creative outlet in the team. So what does McGhee do? He signs two shite players on loan in Sheridan and Klimple. Madness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullane Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 In 4 months, Klimpl falls from fans' favourite to shite player. Having said that, there's no way he would make the team now. Where is he now I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dossertillidie Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 mcghee was definetly building for the future! his own!, slane to celtic, quinn to celtic, there were a couple of players influenced to consider the tic as a future club. i know this for sure. looking after himself when he made the move across there as manager. oh thats right mowbray got the job! what a shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Im not saying the deal wasn't done. Im saying, paul had NOTHING to do with it. IF it was done, it was motherwell who done it. As I understand it, verbal agreement between Mr McGhee and Chris McCart and a sum of circa £40,000 prior to the move north. Chris McCart enquired as to the progress and was advised otherwise as the verbal agreement had more holes than swiss cheese. He's since been heard to agree with members of staff within the club that he couldn't purchase him for ten times that value now. Not trying to be smart assed, info likely to be questioned. Source? Two of the clubs sponsors with a bigger than average input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
