stuff i found on wikipedia

Douglas 'Dougie' Imrie (born 3 August 1983 in Lanark) is a Scottish football forward currently playing for Clyde. Imrie previously played for Lanark United, where he scored 49 goals in his time there.

Imrie moved to Clyde in the January transfer window of 2006, and made his d?but in the 5-0 victory over Stranraer, in the Scottish First Division. Imrie's first goal for Clyde was one to remember, a spectacular overhead volley from the edge of the area, against Queen of the South. His next goal was also one to remember, as he scored the winner against Dundee at Dens Park, with a goal from just over 30 yards.

In September 2006, Imrie was involved in a collision with Hamilton Academical player Ross McCabe, in which Imrie jumped out of the way of McCabe's tackle, and landed awkwardly on McCabe's neck. McCabe needed emergency assistance on the pitch, and had to retire from football as a result of the accident, and an underlying heart condition that doctors discovered whilst treating him. This has led to a heated rivalry between fans of both clubs.

Imrie can play as either a forward or a winger. He has been used to great effect in both positions during his Clyde career.

Imrie will not be renewing his contract with Clyde, which runs out in June 2008. In November 2007, he had a trial period with Nottingham Forest. he has just now signed for caley on a 2 and a half year deal.

this season

Played: 24 Goals: 5 Yellow cards: 11 Red Cards: 1

Let's hope he is a bit more committed than the last "Dougie" we had, who I last saw enjoying a fag in the Caley Club after a match! :icon_ganja:

I'm not disappointed at this signing but he definitely isnt in Dorrans class, even at the money hes a good option on the left other than McBain.

The more I see us linked with new players the more convinced I am we may be in need of a clear-out like we've never seen before.

Duncan, Hart, McBain, Tokely, Wilson.. cant think of more names right now who are on their last legs with us but Wyness and my favorite ICT player Bayne could be improved in their position.  Caff's been replaced, Rankin was a classy player that was treated like garbage by Brewster for whatever reason and wont be easily replaced.

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, maybe we'll have a storming last third of the season and the players I've mentioned here get their acts together and show us what theyre capable of.?

Lots of pessimism on here then?

I like his style--determination and persistence in spades. Do I also detect a bit of a killer instinct?

The only flaw was the blooter over the bar. Seemes easier to keep it under the bar at least.

The only thing is can he get up to the fitness stabdars of the first team and turn it on in the SPL?

If so, he looks like a GOOD BUY.

And your odds are, Canada Bob ....? :015:

Just wondered where its reported we paid ?50k for the lad. Skysports reports we paid a nominal fee. That usually means around ?10k

Looks Brewster has him in mind as a replacement for Rankin rather than Paatelainen who would seem to be on his way out. Imrie could be a decent aquisition if he can control his temper.

If this guy is a direct replacement for Ranks then i see it as a backward step. But now we have the lad we need to give him a fair chance.

Are these not the players who have provided a storming 2nd 3rd of the season,who have taken us from the depths of relegation, viewing gretna as our only chance of survival to one win of 5th place and within 4 points of 3rd spot (if we win that game)

Seems some people have exceptionally high expectations.

At this moment in time we'/re having an extremley successful season, so suggesting that the players mentioned above are on their last legs with us confuses me somewhat.

I would rather likes of tokely,Mcbain and Duncan continue "on their last legs " with us and not pushing aother team up the spl. As for getting their acts together?, Christ what do some people expect from our players? Time for a reality check methinks.

You are spot on Bronson some of our fans will never be happy. If we finished 3rd behind the old firm this season they would still want Brewster sacked next year if we finished  lower down the league. Unless we get the Inverness folk of their ***** down to support and increase our crowds we will never get to the high standards the moaners are looking for.  :scratch:

There's only one Dougie Imrie.

Caley Legend in the making.

I've just Googled him, and it looks like you're right, WynessLegend. But then, I suppose "Imrie" is a relatively unusual surname, so that would keep the numbers down.

Irrespective of the absolute quantity of Dougie Imries, I would like to wish this one great success at Caley Thistle.

I put our great form pre-christmas down to other members of the squad, but you are right, theyve all played their part. 

I dont know 'what do some people expect from our players' Bronson, I just know what I expect of them.  If Duncan (for example) thinks hes in a position to play hardball over his new contract then I expect him to be able to pass a ball 5 yards in a straight line, without giving away a throw in  :017:  My mentioning of players to leave has as much to do with their attitudes as ability.

:024:  wonders what rhymes with Imrie

'oh ye feckin dimwit'    :015:

I've been chuckling about that all day  :015:

My mate in Glasgow texted me today and said the new Japanese player Celtic signed looks like the wee girl from 'The Ring' 

Do you Thik he'll be any good??

Has anyone seen him play before??

Yes

People in Cumbernauld have seen him play before.  I'm sure he will do OK, maybe we will nurture him along waiting for Barry to step down and he is reasonably quick I am led to believe with a hint of aggression.

Ah well..... In that case he must have some kind of special talent......  :023:

Cumbernauld people are notorious for not watching hopeless cases.... :018:

Yes

What will waiting for Barry, a right sided player, to step down, have anything to do with Imrie, a left sided player?

That's if what positions posters on here are guessing that he plays are correct because I don't think anyone here really knows where he plays.

Barry has been known to play on the left as well as the right, in fact he has previously been played through the middle, and anyway, I couldnae spell Paatelainen.

What I am saying as you are finding it difficult to comprehend is that he may well find himself as an understudy to one of our more prominent players, but players who may well be moving on within the next year.

As you rightly say, it's all guesswork at the moment, lets hope he proves to be money better spent than the money paid for Macdonald.

Yes I get that but the mentor figure in this case might not be Wilson as some are automatically assuming. It might be McBain....

No arguments from me if Roy is the fall guy, he is invisible all too often, we need guys like Imrie, allegedly, to spice things up going forward from the middle.

I'm looking forward to Imrie and Black forming a tag team with Duncan as back up to leather the sh!te out of the opposition.

Mighty Ducks 2 comes to mind...
