Ke1t Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Currently on a free as he either couldn't get in to a shite Utd team or is injury prone. Smashing wee player with exactly the right attitude, and puts a bit of bite into midfield. BHH 3 Link to comment

Ke1t Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What's the right attitude? I've always had the impression that he has an over flated opinion of his own ability. Nothing wrong with a bit of confidence. The right attitude is he won't take shite from the 'bigger' clubs. We're guilty of being like deer in the headlights against certain sides. To Taylor's credit, if I were to be looking for positives in re-signing the guy, he was happy enough to square up to a cunt inna. I remember some guy who'd been getting up one of our young lads' faces and trying to intimidate the loon. Taylor was having none of that, running a good 30 yards to plant himself between them, inviting the guy to have a go at him instead. He's a big, solid unit, is Ashton. Is Fyvie's ankle still fucked? If it is then I'd be hesitant. If it's not he'd make a perfect squad player. 1 Link to comment

We'll have to agree to disagree Kelt because everything I've seen of him since he came back up the road shows why he spent the majority of his time in the Championship. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Ash Taylor - "I'm back better than ever" We'll be the judge of that. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Isn't Fyvie going to Cove? No longer fit enough to sustain playing full time football? Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Was Fyvie not one of Chopper Lasleys victims? The negligence thing - was that not to do with wearing blades on Astro or something from memory? Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 March 2012. Craig Brown jumped straight to lasleys defence saying I’m sure he didn’t mean it as our hot prospect was stretchered off in front of him. Game also notable for a Rory Fallon double. Obviously wasn’t snowing. Link to comment
Parklife Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Fyvie was never that good in terms of technical ability. He was just a man and pretty much fully physically developed at 16 years old, hence his very early appearances. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 My recollection was the original uninjured version was an improvement on what we had around him. Not a glowing endorsement admittedly. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Fyvie was never that good in terms of technical ability. He was just a man and pretty much fully physically developed at 16 years old, hence his very early appearances. Maybe a bit unfair on Fyvie, as I think injuries played their part in stunting his progression. However, it reminds me of a situation we had with another player who came up through our youth system, years ago - Andy Bagshaw. Physically a beast compared to the other kids...and dominated throughout the age levels. However, the other youngsters eventually caught up with him. I walked past him, just off Union Street, about 10 years ago... and was amazed actually at how small he was! From what I'd read and heard about him... I was expecting a Scottish Diego Costa! Think he must have just stopped growing and developing physically when quite young. That's the lottery of nature I guess! Link to comment
Parklife Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Maybe I am being a bit harsh on Fyvie. I just recall folk thinking ("hoping" maybe a better word) he would be the next big thing because he was in our team at 16 but never really saw that in him myself. I was always a bit underwhelmed by him. Although he definitely had potential to be a reasonably solid player for us, I never thought he'd amount to much when he went down south. Link to comment

Sonoftherock Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Fyvie was absolutely a better player than Bagshaw. I wasn't trying to argue that he was on the same level as Fyvie. One has an FA Cup winners medal, while the other never even made an appearance in senior football. Link to comment

TheRock Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Just seen the press release. Two year deal. If he does well, they should name a stand after him. 2 Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 A runner with the game-sense to play off Cosgrove. Not overly disappointed with that. Has to be the end of S. May now, surely to fuck. Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 https://www.afc.co.uk/2019/06/05/curtis-is-a-don/ As mentioned above Curtis Main confirmed by the club. Link to comment
Ke1t Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 What Fyvie had was a great engine. I don't recall there being a major problem with the technical side of his game... Didn't he play for us after his cruciate injury, and apparently showing enough potential that Wigan had a punt on him? Admittedly I've seen very little of him in recent years... I think the last time might be the SCF where Hibs beat the Vermin... Fyvie largely anonymous until his world class tackle on Zelalem, after which he came more into the game. Maybe he's terrible now, in which case I retract the suggestion of bringing him in as a squad player. If he's much the same player though... I'd think he's worth a short term contract as cover for midfield. 1 Link to comment

Big Hat Logan Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 How long until fans are well and truly on Taylor’s back? First misplaced pass? First defeat? Can’t wait to hear 90 minutes of people abusing him at home games. 2 Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 How long until fans are well and truly on Taylor’s back? First misplaced pass? First defeat? Can’t wait to hear 90 minutes of people abusing him at home games. The club surely knew this which makes it an even more mental signing. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Again. Or he might repel high balls off the likes of fucking Hamilton for 89 minutes and pop up with a goal or 2 off corners to get us the three points. Just saying. Link to comment
