Pat, I have a lot of respect for you and your comments/opinions generally bud. You are always honest and sometimes yer predictions are freakishly spot on.

Just think your posts here are more suited to a future thread that asks, "what legend wasn't perfect and why"? More than putting Super Mo in this box mate.

He was nae Sean Dillion as a player to supporter ambassador but was definitely not a player that should be mentioned within this topic Pat.

Only my opinion though.

But I'm fucking right!😉

Well said Kiwi.

Can't think of any players who has won player of the year that could be drawn into an overrated discussion.

Same goes for Hamish who won the same award before Mo. Incredibly Sash never never won either the sfwa or spfa awards.

Craig Easton was never fucking rated, let alone overrated, the boy - and his mate Thomo, got terrible stick when they gave everything in a shite team.

Very few players are rated by United fans which means even fewer are overrated...

Trying to think of something constructive to add after moaning for 10 minutes... I didn't ever think Jim McInally was as good as made out, he was a good player but I don't get it when people put him in their greatest ever United XI for example.

Crikey - this is more controversial than the Labour Party split....
So here's mine. Great to see him on Tuesday and very thankful for his promotion winning header but Brian Welsh....Hall of Fame...he was only slightly better than Coll Donaldson. Equally poor in the air despite being a giant, both of them always get to the ball but seem to have hexagonal foreheads - the ball seems to go anywhere rather than where it needs to go. Donaldson hits the deck more but Welshie was a bit of a bombscare too. There we are...take me apart!!!! 

I always thought Flood was overrated in his first three spells with the club. He was like a third wheel, playing alongside other players who clashed with his style and he'd often get in their way.

But it depends om the team he plays in and where he plays (he used to be played out wide in his first spell IIRC). He's a more effective player in the side he currently plays in.

Rankin was overrated last season purely because he put in effort. He was woeful beyond that.

Aidan Connolly was overrated by some.

And perhaps controversially, I thought Jim McIntyre was fucking hopeless. He was just a skittle.

Oh, and one more. Before he made his first team debut, everyone would rave about how Stephen McConalogue was going to be a star and how he'd broken all these scoring records as a kid. He was just a wee fat boy who looked utterly lost.

I agree with Gauld; good wee player in Scotland but the way some of the media and fans went on about him made him out to be the great white saviour of Scottish Football, saying that, I'd take him back in a flash 

All about opinions, but canna believe Super Mo has been mentioned in here, the guy was a colossus!

Brian Welsh in his heyday would be a brilliant sight in the centre of our defence right now.
And if Petric came with him we'd win the league by 10 points.
When we won the Cup in 1994 we denied Rangers That Died back-to-back trebles. P & W were magnificent.

 

Ahh Petric, now he was a legend, and boy could he header a ball! Gordan would've carried Welshie the whole season !!!
