Hey Ravey, you should get back to the Raith thread as there’s a queue of Airdrie fans waiting to thank you for taking Murray off their hands.
Aye, sure.
As for your reminiscing about the time you were scoring freely in the seaside league, just reflect that you couldn't score against a fairly average First Division side in two games recently.
McPake isn't the answer. Remember, while you're struggling to score in Division 1 for the next few seasons you'll be the wee team along the road.

Smiley face emoji to your own stupid post is a starter for 10.
Ah, I knew you couldn't answer. Next question which you'll evade - why is my post stupid?
Hint - the criteria for stupidity is not your unwillingness to accept fact

I’ve watched us since about 1985 and that League One winning side was one of the ones I enjoyed watching most. 30 goals from open play for Faiss!
As I recall from last season McPake isn't noted for open attacking play, so dream on.
I'm so glad we didn't appoint McPake, he's likely to be no better than Yogi.0 -

See you've finally found someone who doesn't think you're a total fucking walloper. Go you.
Please explain, if you can, how predicted that Yogi would be your manager, that he would be a disaster, then predicting McPake before he was even favourite, and now predicting he'll be shite, make me the total fucking walloper instead of you...

I predicted the Yogi disaster (received no credit of course
). Let it be a McPake disaster

Spoke to a Dylan Easton the other Day (Friday)… he told me Murray was told the raith job was his if he wanted it. He also said that Falkirk, pars and Raith have declared an interest in signing him… but hinted that he will be following Murray to Raith.
All this good news, potential as well as actual is getting too much to bear; this is the Rovers, it's not supposed to happen...

I'm glad we won't have St Johnstone with parachute money to contend with in the new season. I'm not bothered by this ICT "hoodoo", our bad luck against them has to change sometime and I see no reason why it won't change this time around.

@Raith_Raverzannata is 100% a confidence player. If you get him full of confidence he is a standout at this level. The problem is keeping him at that level. He does also need a fullback who will support him so he doesn't get doubled up on constantly though. We've had far worse players than him playing for us in recent seasons.
Yea, I realise that. What I'm getting at is the predictions of Partick and Ayr fans about his attitude and lack of application, which some on here have been influenced by. I get the full back support bit, but I haven't seen any suspicion of lack of application.
I do get frustrated by his tendency to put good chances over the bar, something he needs to work on.

I don't like that some folk are turning against Zanatta. After being a standout he was heavily marked in games but even then looked like he could get goals out of nothing. I don't see anything amiss in his attitude as was predicted when he came.

Nothing confirmed about any of our out of contract players. Probably a combination of players on holiday and showing us a bit of courtesy while we get a new manager in.
Good, I hope we can re sign Tumilty, and Spencer of course.

...Ideally we can try to get Brad Spencer back in. I suspect Musonda and Tumilty will be gone.

"Slick style of play" - that's what I like to hear; he'll inherit players who have been coached his way

I'm sympathetic to Airdrie losing Murray after feeling the disappointment of McGlynn and Smith going to Falkirk. I hope likewise you find a decent replacement.

Happy with Murray, it could have been a muppet.

While it's superficially similar it's not a German font - it's called Roman Black.

The way I see it is, if we wanted ‘stability’ then we should have gone all out to keep Mcglynn… we didn’t. A large number of fans were fed up with stability.
If we want someone who’s going to look to really push us forward, Kevin Thomson ticks that box. Albeit it’s a bigger risk.
Aye, he does. I suspect the board aren't that brave though and for that reason I think they'll go for Murray (assuming it's between these two).

I'm not sitting anywhere other than the South Stand until they change the typeface on that dreadful "Penman Family Stand" sign that's stuck to its roof. I refuse to look at it.
Nothing like feeling like spewing looking at the Val McDermid sign. I hope it's ATF for the start of the new season.

Thomson is the potential risk/reward option. In theory he is the more exciting appointment with the hope he really is as good as the hype, but at the same time he also seems more likely to be a disaster than Murray would be.
Exactly my thinking; Thomson looks a greater risk but could be a real winner. I'm not bothered that he's a Rangers fan, but maybe not such a stable influence on the dressing room as Murray. I think the latter is a safer pair of hands. It's a hard choice.

They're obviously different in many respects but both are advocates of attacking football and can organise a team. I can't say who I prefer but will be pleased with either.

Anyone here think we will hear something today?
I wish, but naw, probably still too many i's to dot even if they know the man they want.

I was simply suggesting DAFC needs to be wary of acting like Falkirk has recently, and running through a series of managers.
You think they haven't?
