jagfaelivi Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm watching Birmingham outplaying Swansea just now and one of the home team's stars is a Ryan Edwards lookalike - Jota - but he can play football as well as just run like our former mid fielder. From a distance, uncanny resemblance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 In as much as they are both male.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jags on tour Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I see Edwards has only played 1 game in the cup and not kicked another ball since! I wouldn’t be surprised to see him out on loan before the window shuts, with Bannigan, McCarthy and Gordon all injured could he be back at Firhill?

Big Col Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 No. Burned his bridges and not better than any player we already have. We need players who will add to the squad, not players who do nothing other than run about a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Nothing against Ryan Edwards, whom I thought was one who actually cared a bit last season, but going back is not the way forward. Having said that, can the club get something sorted with the Keown situation please? If he's still on the books, then play him. He's a very good defender. If they don't want to play him for whatever reason, then get him off the books pronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very good defender playing with Liam Lindsay for 4 months- I cannot say any of our defenders last season were very good I’m afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need players who will add to the squad, not players who do nothing other than run about a bit. I was one who would've wanted to see Edwards retained (drop in wages always assuming). Dropping down a level I reckon he'd be a useful player to have. I think you can often underestimate the value of enthusiasm when it's combined with speed and stamina. I'd have seen Edwards as a squad player not unlike Christie last time we were in the division. But I can't see him back here in January. The position he plays in is well covered by more skillful players. We do tho' require pace and stamina in the squad. That's been addressed to a point with our last two signings but I still feel we need more pace in midfield.

MonehJags Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Edwards? Similar to Elliott, runs about with little or no end product. How he got a deal at Hearts ill never know. He's likely been found out in pre season because he hasnt even featured on the bench since the season started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weebaw1 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 He was 100% man but with absolutely no end product. He was one of the reasons we hardly scored any goals. Yeaterday Fitzpatrick was on the pitch 2 minutes when he delivered a great run AND a killer pass. Spittal, Lawless and even the wonderful Erskine were unable to do this last season so all our possession foundered in the ‘final 3rd’. Perhaps I’m dreaming but Fitzy looks the real deal. Offer him a decent contract now in our own and his best interests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter of '63 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I wasn't listening particularly closely but I think it was Alan Preston who mentioned on Radio Scotland yesterday that Ryan Edwards was sitting nearby in the stand at Tynecastle - he commented that there were other Hearts midfielders returning from injury who would be preferred to him and that Edwards would be no more than a squad player. Edwards always tried but I was surprised when Hearts signed him...he and Barton were a midfield combination of relegation calibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 1 jags fan Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Just scored in a the cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Guess that begs a quiz question. Jags players who have scored in a cup final before or after playing for the Jags? Apart from the 23rd October 1971 of course. Anyway, pleased for Ryan. He was so far out of favour for most of the season that his best chance of being at the Cup Final was buying a ticket. Celtic were howling today. Just a shame that Berra managed to be the most howling player on the park.

Barney Rubble Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 Didn't Simon Donnelly score in a League Cup Final last century?? Who did JaggyMac score against? He didn't score that many. Archie, I remember well - the most boring final ever and he almost made it interesting. For some reason I have it in my head that Jim Melrose scored in a losing final, but I cannot remember which one right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
