Today's Diddy Games

[Jackjarvis]

The times I saw Shankland he never looked the part, never looked fit or.......engaged (for want of a better word).

But fair play to him, he's sorted himself out and is doing the bizz at the level he's at.

Time will tell if he can step up, I wish him well unless he goes to Sevco.

Sneckers min, don’t be too objective on here, I know for a fact that Shankland did not apply himself up here, our coach promoted him from the 20’s but did not cut it whilst training with the first team and when given an opportunity on the pitch, he arranges loan deals whilst we paid his wages.....how many on here were bumping their gums when he played for Dunfermline,St.Mirren or Morton?

Once his contract finished, he was free to sign for anyone, our coach knows his dad and he got a gig at Ayr..........harsh words were said as he obviously had potential, certainly not with us though, the boy got fitter, sharper and applied himself and found his level where he now has confidence.....best wishes to him and if it was not for our coach helping him he might have ended up in the scrap heap, that perhaps does not fit the agenda of some on here but it is the truth.

So he didn’t take any notice of Derek when up here then leaves and starts listening to his advice seems a bit strange
