ErsatzThistle Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 No, but the point is unlike McCall, Goram and Phillips - Gallagher actually played for our youth teams first and then ditched us. But hey if you want someone in the team who took a chance with us originally only throw it back in our face, then knock yourself out. Hope we never get so low as to go begging Gallagher and Targett to come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's easily as good as anything else we have at the moment. It would be a sad state of affairs but that's where we are. He's never been replaced. We've got even further from qualifying since he retired... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Gallagher looks a better prospect than any other young forward we currently have. It doesn't sit well with me that he turned his back on us but if he did change his mind back again, I'd have in the senior squad in an instant.

The issue for me is he's ditched us and basically said he's English in doing so. So that for me is unforgivable. I'd only let him back if he gets a Colin Hendry tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that 9 goals, and for an otherwise struggling team in a division where some of our more experienced forwards also play, like Fletcher and Naismith (who have both scored fewer than him so far this season).  Add to that the fact he's blessed with strength, a decent change of pace, good technique and he's still only 21, makes me think he could do well in the game. If there are any Scottish forwards of a similar age on the scene at the moment who are doing better than that I'd love to know about them.

ProudScot Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 He's been mentioned on here before but Jon McLaughlin is playing regularly in the Championship for Burton Albion after a long spell at Bradford City. Born and raised in Edinburgh and not an eligible or granny rule player. 29 year old goalkeeper. Would be a good time to blood him and Jordan Archer in upcoming friendlies with shagger, the soon to be Chelsea reserve keeper and David Marshall all the wrong side of 30.

ErsatzThistle Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Anyone seen Murray Wallace in action for Scünthorpe Utd this season ? Playing central defence for them and they are top of League One. Just a thought anyway. We really are that desperate for central defenders.

A few positive articles on Murray Wallace including one from a fans perspective: http://www.shorpetelegraph.co.uk/shorpe-defensive-rock-murray-wallace-happy-to-have-responsibility/story-30055593-detail/story.html http://www.onevalefan.co.uk/2017/01/shorpe-fan-im-surprised-how-well-weve-done/ http://www.shorpetelegraph.co.uk/shorpe-united-s-murray-wallace-is-a-championship-defender-five-things-we-learned/story-29835104-detail/story.html http://www.shorpetelegraph.co.uk/shorpe-s-murray-wallace-says-he-needs-to-get-into-the-championship-to-try-and-make-scotland/story-29923503-detail/story.html He seems really keen to play for Scotland one day And before some fücking idiot starts moaning "aw naw, ahm done with Scotland if we're calling up players fae Scünthorpe" -  it's the player himself that matters, not whether or not the club he plays for is considered "fashionable" or not. We are on our knees at the moment looking for new central defenders and can't afford to ignore anyone.
