jamboinglasgow Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I heard a story last season about his time at Ayr United. At the end of a match where they had traveled up North to Dingwall to play Ross County and either lost or drawn, all the players at the full time whistle just trudged off and went straight for the changing room, all except young Ryan who went over to the few Ayr United fans who made the long journey to watch their team. He went over applauded them and went to sign autographs, at which his team-mates seeing this then came out and did the same. After that match Ayr went on a small run of positive results. The Ayr United fan who I heard this off said he was a great guy both in playing ability and the way he conducts himself on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydney Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Let's not build him up too much. It'll take him a few years at 1st team level to get to where we hope he can be. Remember, Berra made his debut in 04/05 (I think) and was still learning his trade really when he was appointed captain. McGowan has the potential to be another Berra - but is probably a better footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure in years to come Christophe will cite in his autobiography that young Ryan was a massive influence on his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berra made his debut in November 2003, he took a few seasons to make the breakthrough but we did have the most effective cenral defensive partneship in the league at the time in Pressley and Webster.

benny Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 He did well today. Still a bit raw but getting games will iron that out. Strange how it has taken him 4 years to get another chance though.Looked the part in that game against Gretna and for some reason he never got another chance until recently.Always liked him and Rapnik in the reserves.

portobellojambo1 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 He did well today. Still a bit raw but getting games will iron that out. I thought he did well today. Without going back through hundreds of threads I think I said around the start of this season that I would be happy to see him take up a position in the centre of our defence. It has taken until Ibrox last weekend (after Jonsson was sent off) and Tannadice today for him to actually get used there, and he looks very comfortable. Next season, him and Webster central defence, Wallace left back, choice of Craig Thomson and Darren Barr (both of whom looked good today) at right back, and no feckin room or need for Zander Diamond. I also suspect we have possibly seen the last of Rudi Skacel. I was on the concourse Wednesday as soon as the injury time board went up so didn't see the end of the game, but people on the bus who stayed to the end felt the manner in which he left the pitch gave an indication it was his final bow. Although there is an additional 1 year option in his contract, should HMFC wish to take it up, it may be the case that JJ is certain he is going to get a midfielder he feels can do a comparable job, and Rudi's time may be over. EDIT - Oops, in terms of the thread title I wouldn't go as far as install him as club captain just yet, let him bed in and find his feet first, then he can start thinking about such things.

John Gentleman Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Insofar as I'm aware, McGowan has never been capped at any level for OZ. As his father is Scottish, he is automatically a full citizen of the UK (in the same way as my son is because of me). So, nothing to stop him being capped for Scotland unless he chooses otherwise.

So, nothing to stop him being capped for Scotland unless he chooses otherwise. he has played a number of times for Australia under 20s including in the FIFA Under 20 world cup. But you are correct in saying he could play for Scotland if asked first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
