weeyin Posted Thursday at 08:23 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:23 PM I'm unimpressed (but not surprised) with his zero goals for Kille and St Mirren. No comment on the charges, and we need to keep it that way on here to avoid any potential legal issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellgirl Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:29 PM I personally think there's a view that if someone is charged they are guilty. It's the complete opposite in law. You are innocent until found guilty in court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted Thursday at 08:35 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:35 PM We want to stay on the right side of the law here people, so the less KVV trial related chat the better, until everything is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM I’ve said this before about KvV, we got the best of him during his time with us especially in his second season. He was happy, scoring goals nearly every week and playing with confidence. A purple patch for a journeymen? Maybe it was but if it was then what a purple patch it was and we were the ones who benefited from it. He moved on that summer and has never been able to recreate that form and hasn’t settled in a team like he did with us since. Why that is can be down to any number of things but I think it’s safe to say that he was good for us and we were good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMax Posted Thursday at 09:09 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:09 PM 54 minutes ago, wellgirl said: As much as I get why people aren't impressed by KVV people are innocent until proven guilty. He's not been through the criminal justice system yet. Robbo was charged and went to trial for allegedly assaulting his partner and was found not guilty Harry Paton was also rinsed all over the media because of allegations made by his ex partner - and that didn't go to trial I grew up with domestic violence. I'm lucky to have my mum. But one thing I won't do is brand people guilty before a verdict This is just me speaking generally I'm struggling to find the post where people said anything to the contrary.

I will give Kettlewell credit in that he transformed KVV as he gave him a strike partner. During Hammell's spell KVV'S attitude in my opinion was terrible. Will never forget his performance v st Johnstone where he was shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted Friday at 08:23 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:23 AM Kevin Van Veen was absolutely box office. Incredible season with us, right up there with probably the best striker performance in one season in the SPL. His goal versus St Johnstone where he put two boys on their arse was exceptional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha1886 Posted Friday at 02:43 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:43 PM Link to article on Mika. Hope it works! Wish he could have stayed longer. Also heard Ross McCormack rating Chris Porter as the best CF he had played with. Agree? https://www.dailynewsupdate.com.ng/arsenal-have-been-criticized-for-making-the-biggest-transfer-mistake-of-the-decade-after-selling-mika-biereth-to-sk-sturm-graz-in-july-2024/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2e8yZ2mQUCcNje89DBMo5LgAsb5hWbO_yVomn6cEksF8jey6raKsstAM4_aem_58mg_m_Hzpct_AMkMZ4hgw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted Friday at 03:35 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 03:35 PM Porter was very good and another example of needing a bit of time to find his feet. A good fit for our team at the time, and the Scottish league. And a nice bit of business when we sold him on. He was also one of those players we like to sign who had a record of injury problems, but in this case the risk paid off. The fact that Levein had knocked him back for Dundee Utd was just a bonus. Not in the Coyne, Pettigrew, Moult, van Veen, Higdon bracket, but not far off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been great if he stayed longer, but it was ridiculous he was even an option for us. Even as a loan he should have been at an EPL club.

Think McCormack was commenting only on those he played alongside and from his point of view of Porter being the best at bringing others into play. Recall fondly second-half of 2-2 cup-tie at Tynecastle (post Phil) when Porter and McCormack ripped Hearts a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love watching that cup tie, the whole emotion and the great football we played under mcghee that season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
