I'm confused

Is the exciting, secret to non PMs, attacking mid we may be signing that would give the season tickets a boost, Garry deegan?

No disrespect to the player, but surely not?

Yammish....

Maybe not exciting to you, but a midfielder who wont be bullied (as PF says), excites me, especially as our midfield last season had a habit of rolling over and getting their bellies tickled.....We have been crying out for a hard midfielder for a long time....

Fenlon said we offered terms to a player but they chose League 1 instead, wonder who that could have been

Farid El Alagui 😉

Yammish?

I asked if it was the same player, our midfield needed a player like deegan, however I was just asking if he was really the player that the PMs were going on about.

My understanding is that deegan is a tough tackling, hard working midfield general. Which is different from an exciting attacking midfielder.

I was not questioning the signing of deegan at all.

I'm happy with the signing and completely agree with you. I'm not trying to dispute whether or not deegan is going to be a good buy.

I was merely asking if he is the player that the PMs were talking about, as they described him as an attacking mid

Hardly a legion though is it ..?...what about Cairney, Williams & Griffiths..did they sneak in the door when Fenlon was having a nap ..?

[Eyrie]

McPake isn't one of Fenlon's countrymen either, given that he was born in Bellshill and qualifies for Northern Ireland through a grandparent.

[Andy74]

The amount of anti Irish nonsense is embarassing. Wrap it up as you like but there's far more comment about him and certain players being Irish than you'd get with an English manager bringing in English players for example.

[LancsHibs]

and James McPake's hardly Irish, he's from Glasgow! Had an granny from Belfast qualified him to play for NI as he knew signing for Hibs Potter would never pick him for his homeland


Oops just seen post from Eyrie, beat me to it!

[steakbake]

Agreed. The Irish are who some Scots like to belittle to enable them to accept our own limitations.

Made this point about an English manager the other day Andy. Crazy like. It happens to be the market he knows. I'm quite comfortable with our manager bringing in players that he's seen dozens of time.

Whats with all this anti-Irish comments creeping into the threads ? So what , we have an Irish manager, a few players who qualify for Irish international team, big deal. Personally I don't care what nationality/colour/religion/whatever they are - only care about how well they play FOOTBALL - which by the way has no nationality/colour/religion. Get over it - this is a football forum.

I think you will find a lot of them are meant to be sarcastic, in response to a few earlier comments posted about Fenlons signing strategy before the window had even opened.

If a manager came in from Germany, Holland, Italy or Spain, then of course fans would be more excited and positive than if you appoint a manager from the Irish League who starts signing players who have played there. It's not so much a case of people being anti-Irish, more the case that if you have come in, like Fenlon, and gotten off to a poor start as manager, and then sign players from a country that isn't producing many good players at the moment, of course fans are going to be negative and mention the common-link at some point.

If we were winning games, nobody would even bring it up.
