    I have no doubt that if Tony had concentrated on football and not fallen out with everyone he met, he could have had a good career in the Premier League.

    More raw talent than someone like Patrick Bamford, for example.
    Did he actually fall out with anyone or was he just a victim of 'the network'?

    He always comes across as a nice lad. Very glad to see him doing well.
    I have no idea. Libelous accusation really. My apologies to Mr Watt's lawyers.

    An incredible moment, I wonder in hindsight if it might have been better for Tony had he not had that moment (or at least not had it at such a young age).

    Watt would have been a perfect sub for us today, someone to hold the ball up and keep it from the opposition

    I mean it’s not quite an Andy Jones at Shithurst but it’s very good nonetheless…

    Could there be a more unlike Watt goal than that? One touch finish from distance.

    On a good day he deserves to be called Tony Magic feet Watt. 
    At least the Celtic Scottish international player that said Tony Watt would be driving a Glasgow bus by the time he was 27 has been proved wrong. It sounds like he has matured which can only be a good thing.
    He never reached optimum fitness which also dampened his career. Not sure how many minutes he gets through now but I would like to think he has more stamina and a professional attitude to go with those feet.

    He can do things with a football others can only dream of, hopefully he has now got his head together and can kick on as a player.
    He seems from his comments to have a real affection for cafc especially JJ.

    Fitness-wise he's fine. Regular for Motherwell over the last two seasons. He normally plays left of a front three and seems to have a defined role in the team. There have been calls for him to be called up again for Scotland and he can't be far away from that happening.

    Tony is 28 at the end of December so if he stays fit he can have a good few seasons yet in Scotland were the defending is mainly League 1 and Championship and being successful.

    Could he try again in the championship ?
    More problematical as he told me once "I just want to play football I don't want to be on the bench" this was against Wigan in the Championship I believe when he came off the bench and So impressed over the Second half 45 minutes he won the MOM in the upper North Lounge.

    As Simonsen said above he has played lots of games over the last two seasons for Motherwell plus a near season for St Johnson.

    The penny may has dropped that he needed application with his natural skills.

    I watched the game last night and Tony played a blinder. Great goal and was still chasing things down deep into added on time. Looked a lot slimmer than I remember him and he has clearly found his touch in front of goal. Was a proper game with the wind and rain causing havoc late on! Happy to see him doing well as he has always had a lot of talent, just maybe not the discipline/application. Seems like a nice bloke too.
