    I was fairly young at the time but I remember when we gave Forrest Gump Thomson the job and for the year or so afterwards we were playing at being a "big club"

    This wasn't what had brought the Rovers success in the previous years and went against everything we had done up until then. Big, big fees paid and wages paid for Paul Browne,  Paul Bonar, Peter Duffield, Scott "mouth" Thomson,  Kevin Twaddle, Craig McEwan and big wages being splashed on the likes of John Millar and Keith Wright. Complete madness which set the club back years. I still don't get it to this day why the board thought this was the way to go.

    giving jimmy the janny the job was without doubt worse than Gary fecking Locke and that's saying something. If we appointed a semi efficient manager who knows where we would be now, the 90's were a helleva rollercoaster ride but feck me it has been a crash landing

    Just been reading the rovers digest. Can’t believe even after all these year that we paid £212000 for Paul Harvey

    As a club some of the decisions we have made to shoot ourselves in the foot are unbelievable, we continually find new ways to do it but yes signing him for that amount of money is a tough one to take even after all these years

    Considering we have cut our budget I’m impressed regarding the Calibre of the players we have signed 3 championship regulars who should find the 1st division fairly easy interms of the quality of the opposition they will face . Some fans aren’t impressed why who do we sign?  Wedderburn is classed as a cast off not bad for a player that’s been a regular for the Pars and reached the play offs likewise Gillespie with Dundee Utd, Lewis Milne top goal scorer from midfield wins the league with Montrose , Chris Duggan sweeps the POTY awards at East Fife and there top goal scorer, Robbie Thomson no1 goalkeeper for Falkirk. Are they better than the players we released I believe they are 

    I agree mate

    As above with a winger

    Or 3-5-2 with Matthews deeper on the right in place of Watson and Buchanan up front? Would mean no winger but do we need one with the lack of height in attacking areas? Maybe Smith is going for fast-flowing fitba on the new surface lol

     

    I have watched pre season training a few times last 2 weeks and in barry' s defence everything is on the deck, hopefullya sign of things to come

    I must’ve missed that quote last season (thank f*ck!!). He can’t do the school boy basics at defending, he’s absolutely gash! Genuinely if he could defend, he’d still be with someone like Hearts, I think he’s great going forward, but he just can’t defend.

    All this optimism, I’m off to buy my season ticket today.

    he would be better at left mid if we sign him again!!

    Sounds very Raith Rovers. Ah well at least we can rule out someone coming in for Vaughan if he’s crocked at the moment.

    I hadn't seen Vaughan this week and was starting to fear the worst, that 100% about Flanagan? Maybe offered him less to get Wedderburn?

    Apparently Ayr are close to signing him. Turned down an offer from Brechin too.

    Seems almost certain to be him, doesn't it.  Between him and Gillespie it'd give us a lot of presence in midfield, certainly. Wonder if we'd end up looking at a 3 man midfield, or a variation on that. 

    Wedderburn was training with us yesterday, he is a unit but not sure he is what we need
