It's worth remembering that the defence was generally terrible last season when Berra wasn't there. Also Frankie missed a good chunk through injury. I can't imagine any incoming manager who didn't know the squad would be rushing to keep Benedictus and Musonda.
All comes down to the replacements, of course.
Already heard Matej wanted too much money so that’s why he wasn’t signed. Bene was also one of the highest earners.
Frankies deal would have included accommodation so again another cost. He also failed to nail down a starting position within the team for 2 years, (FFS Davo kept him out the team) and had a bad injury.
It almost as if some of these players are getting better because they aren’t here anymore, and people are forgetting what they were actually like.
Matej for example was busy but wasn’t the finisher we needed or now need - cup final performance aside.8 -

The way Davie Hancock worded the question at the end of the interview on Tues suggests that something is imminent. I hope.
Yeah that’s what I took from Davie’s questions

So if any new players are going to get a game on Sunday they'll probably need to train with the squad at least a couple of times. Surely that means we'll hear something today........doesn't it????????
Or players have been training with the squad already but haven’t been signed yet

You've got to love our supporters, well one in particular, this one looked like he washes his face with a blowtorch kept the patter up all game.
Midway through the second half Rovers made to retake a free kick 'Haw ref, it was only a couple of yards away'
5 minutes later Dumbarton take a free kick' Haw ref, it was never fukin from there'
One fandango said we were being “too pedantic”

1st viewing of Murray’s team
Positives for me Scott Brown (reminds me of Sinky), Sam Stanton (Best player on the park), and Coulson (did more and better than Zanatta).
Played some nice stuff at times, but little goal threat, I’ve yet to see Gullan “hammer” something, and Easton looks out his depth on this showing.
As we know we need a striker or two, and a right footed centre back, slightly worried at the strapping in our only center half's knee

I've used this site a couple of times https://world-retro.com/ You basically give them a picture of the top you want from any era, they'll reproduce it but send you a photo of it beforehand so you can ask for any tweaks/adjustments. The only thing they can't put on the tops is the original kit manufacture but sponsors are fine. Quality is superb, very much like a modern top from today in terms of material and badge reproduction is to the exact detail.
Need to find photos of the 1980/1 Bukta top

Are you all purposely not telling us who/where to get these reproductions or just being awkward bams

We are apparently about to sign Ben Williamson on loan from Rangers.
Talk to me. Good and the bad.
Play him on the left away to Hamilton, big guy with the shorts and shades loves him

If your just signing for the manager and not to actually care to play for the club under a new manager then he can go, we want players that care and play for the badge
We’d be lucky to field 11 players if they had to ‘care for the badge’

Hendry? You mean the guy who was on loan to Killie from St Johnstone and who's now at Salford City?
Few boys having nightmares on here
Can we get Burke & Bagen in a swap deal for Ross ?

I suppose it's not exactly the same as handing over 50% of Nacho Novo's fee to agent Willie McKay.
That however was the agreement when we signed Novo

Hopefully the club publicise that clearly in the match build up because there will be plenty who just assume their ticket is valid. I know I would have.
Preseason friendlies haven’t been part of the season ticket deal for years.

The earlier you sign a player, the earlier you pay their wages.
At this time of year players hold the power, give it another couple of weeks and that swings back to the clubs

The CF will probably be a loanee from the top league, so we won’t see them for 4 weeks or so

Starting to get the fear that it’s Ross Matthews who will moved out.
No mention of him by the manager and a few tasty red cards from memory against Airdrie which Murray raged about at the time

Some laugh the Scott Brown interview eh?
Not enough questioning of his height, weight and European credentials IMO

You'd be due training compensation, which is where the 6 figure fee came from, I think.
What, for 12 months

He is, but you'd be due us a fair whack of compensation for him. He's been offered a contract and he's only 21, he's been here over 5 years as well so I can't imagine it'd be anything less than £200k given his goal scoring record and potential
I don’t think we will go for him but £200k is typical fantasy fan numbers.
more likely you’d buy out his contract which will be nowhere near £4ka week

He’s a talented player who deserves the step up. Most of our team could be playing at Championship level, Frizzell among them. Picked up a few awards at the end of the season - I’ve no doubt Murray would like to take 2 or 3 players with him to Fife. Frizzell being one of them. Think Easton will be there too
Any decent defenders ?

Been up to Aberdeen with much better Raith teams and been given a worse hiding.
I’d leave any judging of Murray till after the 1st 1/4 of the league season.
