He played last night at Hampden when Arbroath went down 6-0 to QP He turned up with the rest of the team.. I'm not sure if played is the right term. Arbroath were absolutely terrible and we would have beaten them & when i say 'We' I mean the social media team, not the First team. Take a look at the these hightlights to see some comical defending www.youtube.com/watch?v=94J7XKalAaM&t=571s Charlie was on the pitch for around 60 minutes and played just how he did in the final few weeks that I saw him at Coatbridge last season.. The odd glimpse of quality, but poor passing and decision making was his downfall, oh and 10 other team mates who didn't want to work for each other. I know I only saw him for 1 game, but he would struggle to get on the bench for Albion Rovers

He could have been playing ( as a sub mind you) v Celtic at Parkhead but ends up in an empty Hampden - no wonder he was peeved off ! Little is still playing for Arbroath ! what a horrible dirty wee ....

We have a group of players who are a team, they work non stop for each other. I obviously didn't see the best of Charlie towards the end of last season, but what I did see was a lad who had fantastic ability, but his head went down very quickly when the team were struggling.

Wow. I am lost for words. The disrespect shown towards Charlie is beyond the pale.
Without him, we’d have been certainties for the play-offs long before our position as Club 42 was confirmed. He missed two (2) league games all season, contributed 22 goals, assisted 13 times.
He was nominated for SPFL2 POTY and wins at a canter. He was nominated for Scottish Young POTY alongside three old starlets. Charlie raised the profile of the Club during some very difficult times.
But, aye Phil, he’s be nowhere near the bench this season.

I'm not being disrespectful Jordan, as I said in my earlier post, I saw Charlie play around 6 games towards the end of last season & for 60 minutes last night. He obviously has the talent to go further which is why he's currently (officially) a Dundee player in the Scottish Premiership. I just think and thats my opinion (which I think I'm allowed) that the recent 1st Xl had a better balance about it. Some people may agree with me & others won't which is why only a few in the stadiums around the country sit in the dugout as managers. I also think the Arbroath team that I saw play last night put in one of the worst performances from a team I've seen all season & I've seen around 30 lowland league games so far.

I think there’s a significant difference between him “being lucky to make the bench” and “the balance of the first XI”.
Looking at our current bench, to suggest he wouldn’t take the place of any of the outfield choices midfield/forward choices is utterly bizarre.

When he was on his game he was devastating and it was that form that won him the accolades and that form that kept us in contention of staying up, however , and I tend to agree with Phil with this, he could at times be a moody player, wandering round with shoulders slumped as if he had fallen out with everyone. If Phil has only caught the last few games of his season then that’s probably the games where he didn’t sparkle and hence based his decision on.

This perpetual myth that Charlie gave up the ghost in the final quarter is just that…a myth! Wingers, by nature, can be a bit blasé and we know that defending is rarely part of their game. There are exceptions, of course, but Joe was just as guilty as Charlie apparently was.
The stats speak for themselves. Charlie was the kind of talent that you rarely see at the Rovers and, as things stand, one of our best players of the 21st century.

Fair enough, Jordan, on his day a fine player, verging on unplayable, pity Charlie did not turn up for either of the play off matches when it was needed.
Good luck to him at Arbroath and at Dundee.

Just saw the highlights of the goals. Arbroath won 3-2 Charlie assisted the first goal with a short pass and Derek Gaston was man of match . Josh Mullin scored a goal for Raith .
