    Does that ever happen? Like literally? Always wondered...
    There's a very famous story about Willie Murray knocking on Turnbull's door to ask for a pay rise! Several players, notably Bobby Smith cajoled Willie into doing it. Willie was terrified but plucked up the courage & crept along the corridor while the others were s******ing round the corner. Willie finally took the plunge & tapped on the closed door. ****** Off Murray came the shout from within. Willie took off like a rocket, never to return 😁

    He'll probably go on to do ok at a bottom six Premiership club like Ross County. Never in a million years is he good enough to be the main, or one of the main strikers for a Hibs or Aberdeen. I'm not saying the lad is a bad player, I think he's average, but he'd always be a back up at best at a bigger club. The very reason we sold him. I thought Ross County was a good move for him and still do although it took him an age to get going there too.

    The thing I always liked about Shaw was that he scored a lot of goals with a composed finish, like his 2 against Aberdeen for RC

    That led me to believe there was a player in their waiting to emerge

    First to concede that didn’t happen and that he didn’t force himself into team

    By the end his confidence was totally shot and move was for the best

    I would love to see him kick on and become the player I hoped, particularly if we have first option

    I think I may have heard that one now you mention it.. and it should definitely remain the real life example
