Welcome Devlin

[aberdeen1970]

They compliment each other perfectly

We should maybe get Wilson and Anderson to move in together as well.

[Chewie37]

They compliment each other perfectly

Do they just say nice things to each other all the time?

[Rostov-on-Don]

Every cunt that wasn't born yesterday knows that if that was a Celtic player, a crucial player, at Celtic Park against Kilmarnock in the 3rd minute 1) they wouldn't have been sent off in a million years 2) the appeal going in their favour wouldn't even be up for debate.

Even if such a thing were possible which it’s not, even if they were to somehow be asked to issue a retrospective red they would ask, without a fraction of self awareness, “it depends, who do they play next week?”

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Fuck sake. Just remembered it’s us!

[BWG]

Did they not try to give an Inverness player a retrospective red card when he hand balled on the Caley line and sent Celtic out the cup? Meekings maybe?

 

The supposed rules by which our game is governed simply do not factor into decision making where one of the arse cheeks is concerned.

[old sheep]

Has come in for a bit of stick from some folk for his poor distribution in recent games. More than compensated though by his excellent positional sense and he just seems to have the knack of being in the right place at the right time for blocking shots, clearing headers etc. A proper centre back with a good attitude. Think we need to ditch ICT as our feeder club and look to Hamilton now as Fergus on and Devlin have been our best recent signings by a country mile.

[RUL]

He had a great game, proper old school defender.

[ebbe]

Can tell by his boots he’s a top banana.

[Tord31]

He is bloody brilliant and if he wasnt coming off the back of two cruciate injuries he'd probably be ahead of McKenna.

 

Delighted to have him for years to come and as things stand I'd say he is most likely our club captain in August 2019.

[boboisared]

Love him.

[boboisared]

Unsure why he's come in for criticism at all, he's class.

Some of his distribution is poor...but he can only pass to what's ahead of him.

[aberdeen1970]

Aye he's a great signing and seems to have his head switched on too. Great attitude for the cause.

 

Future captain for certain.

[Guest milne_afc]

Old school centre half. Needs a song...

[BWG]

Hamilton got any other ace players we can steal for fuck all? We built a nae bad team doing it to Caley.

[Sheepo]

Superb player and will go on to be a Top Don

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Not quite sure why we think him taking what are effectively goal kicks from out next the corner flag is a good idea but that aside boy is a leader and willing to do whatever it takes.

Aye, Brilliant player but almost the last of the back four that you would pick to be the main distributor.

[OddJob]

Was absolutely fucking colossal yesterday. Fantastic signing already and sure there’s more to come from him. As been said brilliant attitude too

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Picture in the DR shows his contribution at the goal too. Takes out three of the cunts.

Yeah I noticed that at the time, love how he ran round the back then went right through a couple of the cunts like they weren't there in his attempt to get the header.

DM copying EPL team tactics he sees on Sky.

3 at the back last year, short passing from goal kicks this.

 

Doesn't work here.

Oh fuck off

[mcdougall(4)]

Aye, Brilliant player but almost the last of the back four that you would pick to be the main distributor.

Which is why other teams force him to be, in the same way we do with Ambrose at hibs.

I said after the game I thought he was definitely our MOTM, if not MOTM overall. 

 

He is better than mckenna

 

He's certainly playing better than McKenna at the moment... will be interesting to see how they both develop. Let's just rejoice in the fact that for the time being at least, we have two very decent young(ish) centre-halves. 

 

We might not be playing sparkling football but if you don't concede many then you've always got a chance. Yesterday proved it.

Two great finds. Glad we managed to get both Fergus & Devl in & on

[fine-n-dandy]

Desperately relentless.

 

They are BOTH great players & each have differing strengths.

Admittedly if we were given a choice of selling one & keeping the other it would be a very tough choice really as BOTH are on great form.

McKenna is attracting more public attention probably because of his youth/inexperience & rawness to work with for future & he already has massive power & speed. Devlin has a couple more years on him but has missed a whole year through serious injury.

 

You are just desperate for McKenna to be seen as a lesser player than he is so you can say 'I told you so' but you are just being pathetic & of course 'as usual' wrong.

 

BOTH are very good players & we should be enjoying them while we can & especially the cash we will get for one of them at least.

[aberdeen1970]

They are both good centre backs with different attributes. The best thing though is they seem to be forming a good partnership. It's been a long time since we could say that.

 

The last decent partnership we had was an ageing Anderson and Reynolds before his injuries set in. These two are better than that pairing. Let's enjoy them together while we can.

 

The likelihood is that it is probably only a short term thing but when McKenna is inevitably sold its great that we will still have Devlin. Hopefully young Roscoe can come through and step in alongside him.

[Just Dandy]

I think folk underestimate how long it takes for a quality centre-back partnership to forge.

 

It's now come together with him and McKenna, and we should enjoy it while we can.

 

With Shinnie at LB that is a formidable defence.

 

Edit: Haha, that's almost spooky A1970 - great minds think alike.

Either that or it's the stopped clock being right twice in one day!
