Millertime Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 an absolute beast of a guy and was funny watching Alba last night, i had no idea what the commentators were saying, but was like a benny hill sketch the way magennis kept giving defenders 3 yards of a head start but still kept gaining on them. he certainly is rough and doesnt look like a footballer, technically speaking, but he has some awesome physical attributes. who knows, brown might be the one to get something out of him. he's kinda a likeable version of tommy wright also is the spitting image of ronaldo (the real one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcorner Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I was thinking a cross between Richie Byrne and Didier Agathe. Wasn't at the game to give a proper opinion but no idea how he could cock up the 1v1 so badly and miss a free header. Darren Mackie Superstar woulda put them away... Hopefully Brown can get something outta him anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Gotta say his general performance was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 any striker worth there salt should bury that header although i wasn't at the game so cant comment on his overall play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millertime Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 i wasnt at the game either, but seen it on alba i think "livewire" would be the best way to describe his performance get the feeling he'll score some right good goals for us, but miss some sitters too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 the last time i saw him was against st johnstone away when we won 1-0 earlier in the season and he certainly ruffed up a defence which contains dubbery which was quite pleasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quirie Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 A goal would of capped a perfect appearance from him yesterday. Chased down everything, Won the majority of headers and linked play up very well. Still unsure if it was a dive when he was one on one but if it was a dive why did the ref not book him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millertime Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 haha yup, but we have also seen THAT volley against hearts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajja Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If we could afford him in the team he might well provide a few opportunities for other strikers if he can unsettle defenders and win crucial balls. He looks like he has a lot of work to do on his finishing, those two chances were there for the taking and he made an absolute cunt of them both.

Madbadteacher Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Still unsure if it was a dive when he was one on one but if it was a dive why did the ref not book him Looking at the highlights I reckon it wasn't a dive as he made no real appeal, I think he just realised he'd fucked up a sitter and decided falling over was less embarassing than actually running the ball out.

He was able to unsettle a particularly guff Hibs defence but to have those 3 chances and get nothing tells it's own story about his ability.

minijc Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Quite. He was able to unsettle a particularly guff Hibs defence but to have those 3 chances and get nothing tells it's own story about his ability. Wise up, he done well with the header, superb save from Brown, I think had been playing more regular he may have taken one of the chnaces.

manc_don Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Indeed, I don't think he did much wrong, was just unfortunate to not direct it either side of the keeper. It was a free header, and I'd like to see if he'd be able to put it away after a run in the team. It cannot be doubted, that his introduction changed the game for us yesterday. I don't care how shite the hibs team was, we still needed a win and he helped massively to provide it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 He definitely helped turn it our way but he had 3 pearlers of chances, maybe a run in the team would help, maybe not but he definitely isn't a player blessed with a touch. His attitude will do for me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His attitude will do for me though. definitely, considering the attitude or application of late, I think that's a good place to start as any! I'm not convinced by him at all, but give him his dues. Minus his chances, he played well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshire_don74 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Darren Mackie on steroids, raw as fxck am quite sure if one of us was pulled from the crowd we would have given an equally robust performance .......... people need to remember he was a goalkeeper a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
