Carse of Gowrie Saint Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 The performance of McInnes today reminded me of the agony of watching David Hannah for Saints. Strutting about the middle of the park pointing and shouting at everyone around him while contributing absolutely nothing to the team. At least Coyle decided to hook him before we had to suffer any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Child Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Bit harsh everyones allowed a bad game. Can't critise McIness for his commitment. It's sometime the application is gash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sometime the application is gash. That's what annoys me about McInnes, he tries to give the impression that he is a hard tackling midfield player who controls that area but in reality he never gets near anyone to make a tackle. In possession he continues to give the ball away and at the same time blames his team mates for making the wrong runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet again we have a player who will get criticised if he coughs the wrong way. riley and Hannah were another 2 of the moaners targets in years gone by.

McInnes is being criticised because he is woeful, as was Hannah and Reilly when they were here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 McKinnes was allegedly crap last week.( I wasn,t there so am going on what I,ve read on here). Well I saw him first hand today and IMO he was lazy,short on ideas, skill and creativity......If it wasn,t for Lawrie and McManus he would have been the worst saintee on the park.Needs to shape up quickly or I,ll be ordering his taxi. All is not lost for him yet but it will be soon................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scobby_SJFC Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 I havent seen him yet this seaon, but towards the end of last season he was playing some good football I thought! C'mon Derek!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali91 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Is that the same David Hannah who was voted Player of the Year by this forum when he was here? the treatment of david hannah from some sections of our support was completely unjust imo. to go from our best player one year to a target for the boo boys the first month of the next year was astonishing tbh.

Exactly. Hannah was just one of many Saints players from down the years who used to get moaned at regardless of how well or how badly he played. As I remember it Hannah even came back in and did a good job for us on a few occasions even after having been told by Coyle that he was effectively frozen out and had no future here.

Shaggy Jenkins Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 To be fair he was not great today, but I can understand is frustration at times, he was looking to play passes but not one of the people on the pitch looked like they wanted to run let alone offer themselves as a decent attacking option. That said I think him and Sheeran could well be a season too far certainly if we are up against a team with a midfield that is fast and gets in about you, if we are up against a team tht give them space and time they will do ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nairn Saint Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I will say one good thing about McInnes...............just give me a minute ................nah, sorry can't think of anything! I said when we signed him that I hoped he would prove me wrong but he is clearly a liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I will say one good thing about McInnes...............just give me a minute ................nah, sorry can't think of anything! I said when we signed him that I hoped he would prove me wrong but he is clearly a liability. He was superb in the big games last season and his introduction saw Hardie flourish. He's not playing well at the moment but don't all of a sudden claim he's been pish during his spell here when that patently isn't the case.

soulfulsaint Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Had my doubts after his debut game but in the big games he has been very strong. Vulnerable to slips in form undoubteldy but was at WBA and Stockport he was a cult player and cannot simply be useless, that's not credible.

Vulnerable to slips in form undoubteldy but was at WBA and Stockport he was a cult player and cannot simply be useless, that's not credible. Likewise but it was his first game for a good while. Those three games at the end of January, he was superb for though, absolutely outstanding, especially the job he did on Scott Brown in the semi-final. I was gutted at the thought he might go to Clyde, not only because we'd lose him but because he'd be playing against us. He's off form at the moment and the problem more than his own performances is we don't have an experienced replacement. OC might have moved for MacFarlane of Queens but couldn't do much until he knew what Simon was doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hannah conned the fans when he was here. he would charge about shaking his fist, puffing his chest out, screaming abuse (not encouragement) at teammates. If ever did make a tackle he was 5 minutes late and gave away a foul. Watch McInness closely in the next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever did make a tackle he was 5 minutes late and gave away a foul. Watch McInness closely in the next game. I could not disagree more. The Davester was one of the few successes of the Connolly era. He got stuck in, lead the team, and was at the heart of the great run we had at around Christmas time. As for McInnes - I wasn't delighted about signing him because I never rated him when I saw him with any of his other clubs, and I thought he was really poor when he first arrived. He's certainly not the player Darren Sheridan was. However, once he'd settled in for us he was fantastic last season - I don't think we'd have come so close to Gretna in the end, had it not been for his contribution. I haven't seen him yet this season though, so can't comment on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-Mo Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Can't think of a player who more divided the opinion of Saints fans than Davie Hannah. Half of us loved him, the others thought he was diabolical. Have been dissapointed with McInnes so far this season, but he is still yet to play as badly as he did on his debut against Ayr (that day he made Reilly look good) don't see any reason to panic, certainly the last think McInnes needs is everyone getting on his back!

Linky Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 McInnes is a huge improvement on Hannah, but I can see the similarities. Had a bad game on Saturday, but then so did everyone really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
