Big Wispy Flossy Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Faddy v law is a no contest. Faddy was and will always be a better player than law. However, taking off claret and amber tinted glasses and removing sentiment for a second, quite frankly Faddy was brutal last season (almost as much a disappointment as Brian mcclairs return). The fact we are even mourning the loss of Faddy proves only 2 things - the team has regressed to a level no one could have predicted and law is incredibly shite!

underboyleheating Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I wish Faddy all the best, the man is a legend. The only negative for Saints is that he probably won't be ready for the first team action until April 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Jules Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well thats it official he has penned a deal to the end of the season with saints. All the best to the guy but i hope when we play them next he is carrying a knock or something that rules him out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only negative for Saints is that he probably won't be ready for the first team action until April 2015. According to the naysayers on here, we'll already be down by April and St. Johnstone will be safe so it'll make no odds to them. If the thread was along the lines of Chris Humphrey vs Lionel Ainsworth then that's worthy of a debate and some tangible posts, but alas here we are.

Juan Kerse Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Boak. But glad he has a team. You never know the Super Saints have been more of a Beeb/media wankfest than us in rece seasons so good form and decent exposure could get him that Scotland squad place back. Saints are also closer to me than Mwell so will take in a few games, looking forward to seeing him. Especially if he is played up front and not left wing back! Agree wholeheartedly with the guy who said McCall should have done the same and built a team around Faddy. He was a quality of player that was far and above anything the rest will EVER be and it was an abomination on McCall's part to put him out wide.

steelboy Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 when you look at the players who aren't in this squad he's got no chance of chance of getting a 50th cap but the memories from the holland and france games and even the goal against macedonia are more significant than being in the hall of fame.

The African Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Good luck to Faddy. If he is fit then he will do Saints a decent turn.Looks like we may have missed the boat with this one, mind you, looking at the condition of our side, who would trust our management team to make a decision on "fitness".

superward Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Forgetting Law for a minute and putting nostalgia aside...Faddy was shit last season in the main (to his standards and also to anyone else's) and also barely fit. He was also funded by a director. Kris Jack on twitter put it well for me: Wee bit of lover's remorse re Faddy signing for St Johnstone. OK with not having him at MFC, but don't want him with anyone else #gay4faddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Kerse Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 No, no it's not. Could be worse though. Celtic, Rangers, Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen would all give me the fear somehow. St Johnstone are pretty harmless but in saying that shame its come to that, no offense to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 And who's funding Ojamaa? We could have had him if McCall wanted him. But no we had 5 strikers; yet we finish in Iceland with Lasley playing off Sutton and throw away a significant amount of income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the man himself: McFadden was also keen to reassure interested parties who might be put off by his reported wage demands or the injury issues which held him back last season. He said: “I’ve not had a lot of offers from Scotland but I’ve spoken to a couple of clubs. When I went back to Motherwell a director was paying my wages. “It looked like I was on a fortune but I wasn’t. I came back to play football – not for money. “It wasn’t a great sum of money although maybe teams are put off by that. A lot of the time I wasn’t fully fit last season. During pre-season I picked up a knock on my hamstring and thought it was just tightness from my back.

steelboy Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 when he came back, aye. after randolph, law, higdon, humphrey, higginbotham, daley and hateley left we would have had room for his wage, after he signed we still went and brought in anier and ainsworth so we still had some money to play with.

milo Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Feels like a defeat and we weren't even playing! If it turns out faddy is fit and does a job for st Johnstone there will be much annoyance down Fir Park way. It will be another nail in McCalls coffin for many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out faddy is fit and does a job for st Johnstone there will be much annoyance down Fir Park way. It will be another nail in McCalls coffin for many. Unless we do well in the Scottish Cup. Remember half the board it would seem would swap our league finish for a relegation dog fight and a decent cup run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it turns out faddy is fit and does a job for st Johnstone there will be much annoyance down Fir Park way. It will be another nail in McCalls coffin for many. Whilst I think some are going a bit overboard with their outpouring of grief, I do find it hard to disagree with you that if Faddy, deployed in his correct position does the job for Saints then it will be even more of a boot in the stones for us and will, in my opinion, cause more and more fans to turn against McCall especially seeing as McCall played a rather big part in Faddy's difficulties last season by trying to turn him into a right winger.
