Pride_of_ayrshire Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Rumours suggesting were interested in signing Alloa striker Kevin O'Hara. The strikers scored 10 in 21 before the season was cut short. Not a bad record playing for a part time club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take him so long as his character reference attests that hes learned from the incident with Dean Shiels. He would add goals to our front line which is badly needed.

Aye, he's that rotten he moved back up 2 divisions then preceeded to score 10 in 25 games and was voted Alloa POTY....... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Was he not 17 when he gave Shiels the abuse? It's not cool at all but I think you can give someone a second chance for acting out of line when they were a teenager. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasboag Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 exact type of signing we should be going for. On form (or was before we closed down), should be affordable, and a good age. Should be offering him a performance-based 2 year deal to see if he can make the jump 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 If he were to sign I very hope the first thing he would do would be a public apology for his disgusting comments to Dean Shiels. -12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should he have to do that? It didn't happen in a match involving Killie and Shiels left eight years ago. People can't be expected to have to keep apologising for their past misdemeanours. If fans think O'Hara owes them an apology, it might be better if he doesn't join. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have some appreciation for what Dean and his father contributed to this football club. I don’t think it’s out of line that a guy who has indulged in vile, ableist abuse of one of our greatest players in modern history offers some contrition. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are being a wee bit dramatic here the comment was made when he was 17 years old, if I had to say sorry to everyone I offended at that age it would take me years. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably cost him 2-3 years of his career kicking about the lower divisions rebuilding trust within the football community. I'll assume he has grown up, knuckled down and now has a point to prove. He certainly grasped the chance with both hands when Alloa took a punt on him. He let his football do the talking according to a couple of Alloa fans I've had a private convo with on P&B, they think he is well capable of playing at a higher level.

piffer Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Going by comments Dyer made previously about players and their character as well as reports about how deep he digs to find out about them. If O'Hara is an arsehole then I’ll be surprised if he ends up at Killie even if he was better than what we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Boyd got done for drink driving at 21. Did OK for us. Now fronts a mental health charity. Everyone has done or said something they regret . On a football pitch it's easy to lose your rag. People grow up and move on. I'm sure if Kevin O'hara could turn the clock back he would react differently. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Jones is another example, appeared in court for a serious assault, I didn't hear cries for a public apology when he joined us for his previous behaviour..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
