soulfulsaint Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It is now an established fact that Dundee forums are so moronic that some of their more literate fans come on WAP. So this therad is dedicated to players that unite the warring factions. They must have played for Saints and Dundee and been seen as a 'decent players' with both. So that rules out big Dyron ....I'll open with Billy Dodds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 This will be pretty one way. We generally take all their best players, whereas they pick up our diddies (Samson, McCluskey) a few years down the line. On topic, I'll suggest John McQuillan. Rivalled only by Mark Treanor for the best right back I've seen in the blue of Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Not true Really? In the last 20 years at least, we have been the team that has signed your players. Dodds, McMartin, McQuillan and Swankie. You sold us your top scorer when both teams were fighting relegation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 How about Dundee born? In that case I'd go with Marc Millar - he qualifies as he has scored a winner against le Coagies from all of 30 yards with virtually the last kick of a game! As for players from both sides, Grant McMartin - the makeweight in the Dodds deal, £100k (officially) for him, when the records should have shown £750k for Doddsy and them paying us £250k to take McMartin!!! Or our very own Danny-boy, Daniel Griffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sold us your top scorer when both teams were fighting relegation! To be fair to the Dees though, was that not in the Ron Dixon era when £500k was required just to line his pockets? Plus they were well adrift of safety were they not, or am I thinking of Raith Rovers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know 3 were relegated, Raith, Dundee and ourselves on the last day at Motherwell - however the query was that were Dundee not adrift at the time and we were closer to safety, taken to be the pre-curser to New Douglas Park April 2007 at their Lanarkshire rivals. John Inglis nearly scoring the goal to keep us up - oh what a team we had then....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivalled only by Mark Treanor for the best right back I've seen in the blue of Saints. McCluskey is probably one of the worst players I have ever seen dirtying the dark blue of Dundee. I eventually started turning away every time the ball went near him, I'm sure it was another ex Saints diddy called Coco The Clown Kernaghan that signed him. Oh my god, it's giving me nightmares just typing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The one and only Alex Caldwell..Signed from dundee in 1980.. Great player. Jim Morton of course was a Dundonian:oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jags Ya Bas! Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Screw the Dees. What about the players that unite the Saintees and Partick Thistle? We took the Don and Roddy and gave you Davie Irons and Martin Lauchlan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags Ya Bas! Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Pah, I was obviously focusing on the sh*te. We can thank you for Lambie. He did, after all, ply his trade at Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swankie is what he is and McMartin likewise but McQuillan was a fantastic right back, who was a key part of our team that finished third in the league. I doubt you've had a right back that good since he left. Mind you, neither have we. Another couple of names though, Colin Marshall and Willie Falconer. Oh, and Mark Robertson.

Have we ever taken a good player directly from Thistle? Add Issac English to your list. One of the worst strikers I've seen for Saints. Didn't even score a goal. Did Roddy come back from Thistle?

Jags Ya Bas! Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Did Roddy come back from Thistle? He sure did, for the longer of his two spells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 He sure did, for the longer of his two spells. Couldn't remember if he went somewhere else after Firhill. Didn't even have a club in mind though. Why did Thistle sell him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jags Ya Bas! Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 We didn't sell him, it was a swap deal for Harry Curran. I should point out we actually signed Roddy from Dunfermline, not from Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should point out we actually signed Roddy from Dunfermline, not from Saints. Yeah, yeah, I remember that. We did a deal with Dunfermline for Andy Rhodes that saw them get a rumoured fee of around £300,000 plus Roddy Grant, plus Lindsay Hamilton. Mind you, we were getting England's fourth choice goalkeeper, if you listened to Andy himself! Harry Curran was another good player for us. How did he do with Thistle?

Jags Ya Bas! Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Harry Curran was another good player for us. How did he do with Thistle? Never accepted by the fans. Mainly due to the fact his arrival led to Roddy's departure. Am, I right in thinking Curran scored the first Saints' goal at McDiarmid?
