Felt for Shiel a bit but still think he has it in him to be a more authoritative 9 . Dobie looks sharp , bright and full of potential .. but to be frank has yet to reach the levels of a Mike Blair or Cusiter. Flatters a bit at the moment .
what a load of SteveWalsh. Did you think it up yourself or did Cockerill pay you to post that ?
Dobie is just 19, surprise surprise not up to Lions standard yet. He is starting for professional matches a couple of years younger than Blair or Cuister. And looks totally at home. He has had more chances this season due to injuries and tests taking Price and Horne out, but he has grabbed those chances. Contrast with Chamberlain who until last night was kept as an unused sub so often, then ball not passed to him when he did get on. And surprise surprise, we saw last night what might have been had he been given proper chances earlier.
As to Russell and Richie, again talking out of your KelvinDeaker. Richie played for Heriots a bit. As a 17 year old, same age as he made his Edinburgh debut. From 18 on he was pretty much a regular match day 23 with loads of starts.
Russell moved from Stirling (where he couldn't get a game) to play for Falkirk before he had any association with Glasgow, then to Ayr. By the ripe old age of 21 he had taken the Glasgow 10 shirt. At 22 won the league
