It won't cost £700000 to replace the pitch as all the ground work as been done its only the carpet that would replaced.

Who cares if he is 16 or 17 he is not ready and may never be ready to play first team football. I'm sure we're cursed as a club. From now on the keepers will have to be wrapped in not just cotton wool but also bubble wrap.

Vaughan, Duggan, Thomson and young Jack Smith all in Gym 64 this morning. All looked to be working on strength exercises and don't look like they will be too far away from returning.

Apparently the lines on the pitch have been painted wrong and the club have no idea how to cover the mistake and repaint. Seriously no joke.

The young lad that was on the bench is 17 apparently played for a team called Pitreavie Pumas or similar definitely not ready to be a back up keeper. Surely we will sign a keeper. The squad is crap as it is no need to make it worse with some untried keeper who may never make it.

Yes but 5 very average signings will not and I have no faith in Barry Smith being able to attract the right type of okayers to SP. I think the Gillespie signing is good but we now have Matthews and Gillespie for the DCM role and no creativity in the centre.

You're having a laugh two wide players and Hendry back and we have a squad capable of winning the league. We have one keeper, no rightback a central midfield with no creativity, no left sided or right sided midfielders and 3 small strikers with again no target man. For me we need at least 5 more player's to get anywhere near winning the league

The FFP mentioned we were on the verge of signing Gillespie and Loy yet here we are Monday afternoon and still no sign. Willo Flood also mentioned but he has just signed for the Pars. If the club want to see season tickets sell then they habe to show us some ambition and get players signed.

Does anyone think that Barry Smith is capable of attracting players to the club. I hope if we do sign some players ie about 6 that we don't get the excuse that they are 2 weeks behind in preseason so have some catching up to do.

Not fussed may become a good player with regular games, but struck me as being a yard too slow to be good at this level. A strong centre half will dominant him in the air.

Don't think we could afford all 3 but with us needing an entire midfield what do people think of a midfield consisting of Cardle, Wedderburn and Higgy all released by the Pars.

Rumour has it we are not signing anymore players, our board are happy with kids.

Supported the club for 35 years only had a season ticket for a few of these seasons as i work shifts so can't make every home game, but this is a business and the BOD and manager must be able to put a product on the park worth watching if not people in this day and age wont attend out of blind loyalty. So far we have been told we will have a first team of 16 plus youth, then days later the chairman stated we only need 3 more players which means a first team of 11 plus youth. Someone isn't telling us the truth and on that why would anyone buy a season ticket.

Why would anyone renew a season ticket when we have no team yet capable of even competing this season never mind winning the league.

Are the rumoured players worth the wait or just the usual journey men.

In shock news Raith management have decided thay they can win the league with 6 players so no new signings coming in.

My god, typical Rovers fans, not like I think we could even consider signing Kenny Miller, but here is a player that was one of the fittest at Rangers and has scored goals everywhere he has played, yet some think that he would be a bad signing. Get a grip if we have the chance then grasp it with both hands.

Gary Irvine to replace Jason Thomson at rightback. Not heard anything to confirm but fits the bill, available, will know Smith and likely to want to get involved in coaching.

Cannot believe some on here want to keep so many players that have failed us over 2 seasons. Mass clearout required. As Smith is staying I would punt Cuthbert and keep Robertson and Easton. Players both goalkeepers to go Lennox is made of glass and Smith is gash. McHattie and Thompson to go. Keep Rory for backup, Murray who has been very good, McKay and Bene. Not fussed about Davo. Midfield punt Herron, Matthews, Barr. Regan, and Zannata will be away. Robertson to stay as he is a coach and an entire new midfield signed providing balance strength and creativity. We must start winning the midfield battle. I not fussed about Buchanan but if he stays we must sign a target man. Spence and Court to go. Furtado to be offered a deal and if we can cash in on Vaughan then I would. Basically 8 of the current squad to stay with about the same coming in.

Massive game next week everyone has to turn up and provide a very loud backing.

Who cares what happened 30, 40, 50 or 100 years ago its history, everytime England get to a World Cup we Scots are reminded of a victory that happened 52 years ago, I don't care. What matters is what is happening now, we are top of the league and EF are shit. 9 points so far and I'm confident that will be 12 by the end of the season.

Plus I may be wrong but I dont think any of the directors were sacked. Mario wanted out, Val left and ED position was made redundant and others that left never contributed money to the club.

A. We don't need Laurie Ellis back. B. We cant afford to have Laurie Ellis back C. He did walk out on us with RM.

No they don't the gate gets locked.
