#incoming! (Luke McCormick signs)
- Thread starter monkeywrench
- Start date
Sounds like there may be some surplus capacity in the ground after all by number of negative comments on here. :roll:
Suspect Luke will be offered opportunity to start some coaching too in some format.

So are you not renewing your season tickets because you think bringing back LM is wrong as he’s past his best or because of his past???
Welcome back Super Luke. You’ve taken some terrible stick from opposition crowds and never risen to it - so I’m sure a few moaners on here won’t bother you. Hope you have another successful spell aboard the good ship Mayflower.

I don't think we need to keep going over the past really. Noone condones it but doesn't mean you have to dwell on it.
Luke is green through and through, he will be a great mentor for Cooper and happy to sit on the bench.
My 6 year old idolises Luke and is into goalkeeping and Luke is the reason for that. It has given him something to focus on esp when times are tough. He obviously has no idea about Lukes past and he won't until hes old enough to find out by himself. He sees him purely as a goalkeeper and has no prejudice. I realise people will have their own prejudice but its not necessary to keep bringing it up if its to do with football.
If he offers you a lift I understand, but when its to do with footballing I think you need to let it go. If it stops you buying a season ticket then I think that is quite extreme.

As part of a back four, with two inexperienced full backs, a striker that couldn't hold the ball up and playing an attacking formation negatively too.
I think it's time to have a look at this from another angle Oldage.
I was glad to see the back of the stigma which came from other fans from having Luke here before. No-one can ever deny the past, I'll never condone it and I was pleased we had moved on. However...
We all admit Cooper needs to be playing, he cannot have another season on the bench. So we either need a backup to him, or a new number 1, then to send Cooper out on loan, then get a backup for the new number 1. Either way we need someone here who is happy to be a backup. Luke will fit this bill, he'll be at his best but will be understanding if Cooper / A.N.other is ahead of him. He has the experience to be a good mentor to up and coming keepers, and he has always been described well in terms of a dressing room presence for other players.
He's also one who will put his time and effort into the club and community.
I can think of better keepers, but I can't think of any who would be like to come here and be a backup for a small wage, and still buy in to the team, the guy replacing him and the community. This is a good move for all involved.

Welcome back Luke.
I am relaxed about LMc 's return. He was a very good servant to Argyle in his previous times here. I did not see him perform for Swindon, but I assume that RL must have watched him, in order to make him his first signature for the new season coming up. RL is good enough judge of a player in order to be confident that LMc's skill level is good enough to do the job that he has for him next season
I thought he might become the oldest keeper to play for Argyle in a League game, but of course Shilts was well into his 40's when he kept goal for Argyle. Other 'stattos' out there might throw up older keepers.j

Each to his own but I find it sticks in my craw that he is idolised by some older fans after what happened. I do not think he should keep be giving opportunities when there probably other goalkeepers available and out of work. To emphasise I was already concerned about renewing my ST ,only the second time in over 50 years of supporting Argyle that I have not, because of the difficulty of me getting to HP from Cornwall now the coach is unlikely to run and the affect on games of the covid virus.katkin":1wtk74rn said:
