Derek Riordan

remember that in rome paul. that was * metal!!!

I hav stay in Glesga, THE MURDER CAPITAL OF EUROPE, for 17 years, i think i cud manage a wee seaside visit to sunny greenock

 

On the mean streets of Bearsden no doubt.

 

you don't know Greenock then ????

 

I think it's a bit harsh to be so critical of the signing of Riordan. The way some people are making it out, we should just give up on signing any scottish youth at all... what does that do in the long run for Scottish football? A player with the potential of Riordan for free can't be a bad thing can it? Have a little faith, eh?

 

Blimey....someone wanting to talk about footie. I have faith.

 

Aye, when the famous Glasgow rangers went to Rome to see the Pope,
when the famous Glasgow rangers went to rome to see the Pope,
And this is what he said
Go home ya Huns , Go ome ya huns, go home

That was the Swiss Guard ya fecking hethens

 

do you really think he is any better than what we have just now ?

 

Haha miracle eh? I just meant the folks being a little over-critical of GS's judgement.

 

Not at this very minute, but I do think he does have a good deal of potential - it's not as if we're risking a lot of money on him is it?

 

I think he's a better player than Beattie, and as good as Maloney

 

no and i don't doubt his potential , but if he's not any better than we have and IMO no better a prostpect, then why waste the wages ?

 

I think Beattie is a better striker and maloney a better playmaker

 

What's wrong with having another player who has the same sort of prospects as some of the other lads in the squad? That's like saying Barcelona shouldn't sign anyone since they're not going to find any players who are better than Ronaldinho.

 

Exactly, did you read the statement when we signed dion dublin or did you blindly say he wasn't good enough? Alot of people read blindly into the signing. Riordan wasnt signed as the make or break player he has alot to offer us. The eamon dunphy's can die a slow death

 

but we have Hartson , Beattie , Zurawski , Miller , Maloney and now we have Riordan . Too many imo , never gonnae keep them all happy and whoever doesn't play their game will suffer

 

I agree , 6 strikers thats too many, sb will make the way in january, probably Hartson, maybe sb else.

 

has signged a pre contract wont play until jan 2007 under contrat to hibs until october check out story at bbc.com football

 

if it's the summer or January it makes no difference , 6 is too many , if on the other hand some of them are for the off then it's a different matter
