I can't forget the way he sprinted towards the devonport (whilst on loan at Cheltenham)and held his hand to his ears after his hugely deflected free kick planted into the corner of the net. Also gestured at home fans as he was subbed offBeyton_Green":1sx6yoen said:
I can't forget being sprayed by splinters of perspex as he kicked a hole in the old dug-outs when he wasn't picked as the last substitute.
Awful player for us, just goes to show the finger counters the folly of demanding we spend big money on transfer fees to "show ambition".

For the record, Steve is about the pleasantest footballer you could care to meet and puts in considerable amount of his own time free of charge in supporting and coaching local kids. He has never had anything but good things to say about Argyle and Plymouth, whilst regretting that, for a range of reasons, Argyle fans never got to see the best of him while he was here.
And his record since moving back north, including a goal and a winner's medal in a Scottish Cup Final, suggests that he could more than do a job for us just now.
What has an argument about what kind of person Steve MacLean is got to do with the possibility of signing Simon Church, on that topic he could be a handy little forward for us but again the supply line needs to be better for anyone to score goals we will wait and see if this one comes through

Some on here saying he isn’t worth it as he doesn’t score enough goals, others saying only worth signing if he’s a hold up striker!

I thought he was paid very well to do a job for us. Often didn't even put in a shift- probably not fully fit or some other good reason but his conduct on return was also one of the most inflammatory and abusive I have ever seen from a professional player to fans.
Back on topic - I'd like to see Simon sign. He's fairly well proven at a higher level and (imho) he's better than what we currently have on the books.
And off topic - I still can't fathom how Derek got us into this pickle in the first place - Kennedy, Boateng and Tanner would have made such a difference to the squad.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda

I was told the same thing when he left us.
He did a lot with our youth squads and the kids in his own time.
To be fair, I don't mind that as much as the Devonport were no doubt giving him a load of abuse. Argument is he is a pro and should be better than that, but if you can't take it don't give it.Blackpool pilgrim":3t0ek7lq said:
Any updates.....does this rumour have any legs.....definitely need a proper striker, church certainly fits that bill IF fit
The 'if fit' is the crucial bit.elburtontrev":12q2ok3n said:
Clearly he's missed a pre-season so will be behind the curve even if he's fully fit. But we don't even know where on his injury's recovery scale he is. Given he's clueless he might just have come to us to train, it could well be stretching things too far to call him a trialist.
There won't be a quick answer I suspect, a year out will make him waaay behind readiness. It might take months. What we do know is that DA trains them hard, so if he's going to get match fit anywhere it'll be here.
