Shame it didn't work out for him as I know he was a decent player.

However this is very good news I think and hopefully means we can sign a right sided replacement that could actually play/come on.

Thought this was a good signing when we got him, pity for both us and him it didn't go to plan.

I guess Smickle may give up football after this, so good luck to him whatever he does.

That's quite an assumption!

Pity he didn't produce his Kiddy form for Alty. Don't care what his critics say, on his day he was very good. Sadly we never got to see that.

Good luck Brian

It is however he had such a lack of confidence it wouldn't surprise me because his poor performances were not down to effort

Didn't he say he had lost some enthusiasm for football before joining Alty? This won't have done him much good.

Speaking of "thoroughbred players" let's get back Ryan Brooke, Michael Twiss and that John Mcaliskey fella, he was top notch.

you betcha.  £2.00 a go now, unless it's a Beano Max which will set you back a fiver.  Not pocket money prices any more.

Dundee is the place to go for all things Beano related

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if he discovered his appetite for the game again
