  1. Wighton is an utterly fantastic footballer. A genuinely scary talent. The only thing is, we don't 'accomadate' his type in Scotland. Think of Ryan Gauld a little further forward. He's too lightweight though. I've read he's on his own fitness/gym routine to build him up though so hopefully that will help.

    Hyperbole like this is probably not that helpful, expectations will be too high from the start. If he doesn't go off like a firecracker, then we will be disappointed, and you guys will almost certainly take the huff and regret the loan.

  2. Noone really knows how these guys will play in a Rovers top. They could be utter mince or world beaters, we just don't know!

    Before we start criticising them lets see how they perform for us. 6 or 7 games in and they're crap, then feel free but at least give them a chance in our team.

    Nobody gave Nicholl a hope in hell with his side of has beens,no hopers and young guys with hunger and something to prove, look what happened.

    They lost in Munich?

  3. Anecdotally, my wife is a Scottish born Chinese, and her parents have intimated that a lot of the Chinese community are voting no. The conversation she had convincing them to vote yes was hilarious; the main concern was the rise in cooking oil, meat and groceries in general (lots of takeaway owners).

  4. It seems the official FB page always goes down after news like this. I love to see the hysteria that builds amongst our fans over something that always had a strong possibility of happening, outrageous!

    I'm sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes and there are contingencies in place.

  5. Brilliant, this Davo debate started because somebody made an innocuous comment like, " I've got a funny feeling . . .". :lol:

    Personally, I don't think he would return as he didn't particularly enjoy his time here. That, and the fact he has actually improved since leaving means he will attract more suitors than just us.

    Ok, think I might give this unlikely, but plausible, speculation thing a go:

    "Levein to return to the Rovers at some point in the future."

    Oooooh, tantalising!

  6. Agreed. It's quite hard to work out what the problem has been these last few months.

    I think factors outside of individual player's performances have affected the squad:

    - Complacency after getting off to a flyer and settling in thinking playoffs were guaranteed before Christmas.

    - Distraction from the league campaign after a tidy cup run/cup victory.

    - A false sense of security on two counts; Morton were all but relegated 3 months ago, and no competition for places.

    - Understandably, getting slated from the 1st minute at home games, leading to loss of confidence, second-guessing and lots of embarrassing mistakes.

    I'm hopeful these issues can be addressed and, generally, the squad ethos will be more positive, which in turn will produce improved individual performances.
