EdinburghLivi Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 1 hour ago, LiviLion said: I'd imagine we'd just name Liam Fox as "manager" and have Martindale as his "assistant", only this time it really will be Martindale making the decisions. He recently said he was turned down by the panel 'last year' which was apparently due to some unsettled debt related to his crimes. If true, I don't really see the point in the fit and proper persons test when he can just go back into the backroom team as he has been for the last 5 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 We're on a right good purple patch these last 5 seasons, and have had some memorable and hilarious moments, the Broonie red card is the latest, along with another fantastic result, however this is still the best one yet, the head's gone tantrum afterwards sealed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I heard him said it's been paid. The F&PP "test" is an absolute sham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 There's Lars Lokotsch away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 There's Lars Lokotsch away.Disappointing as I felt he had something to offer the team. Possibly a similar situation to Jacko and Josh in wanting to be nearer family during the Pandemic. Good luck to the big guy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I'd be tempted to listen to Raith supporters about him but they were the ones who thought Stoke's Jordan Thompson was hopeless. The guy showed some promise in the limited appearances he had but was clearly very raw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 As far as I can see Lars hasnt had a start in the Raith team since the beginning of November. He showed some raw talent in the few games he had for us (mainly in the cup) but honestly couldn't see him getting near the first team any time soon. Also considering that he's probably living out of digs on his own; away from his family and healthcare; I wouldn't be surprised if this was mainly his choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy showed some promise in the limited appearances he had but was clearly very raw. Not quite, the general opinion down our way is that he was a spineless shitehawk with a heart the size of a midge's bollocks. Clearly had the talent, but he was similar to Barry McKay in that he clearly didn't give a f**k about the team he was loaned out to, and knew he was good enough to not need to try a leg for a new contract at his parent club. As for Lokotsch, he did struggle to make an impact. I thought he was quite selfless and seemed happy to run the channels but he wasn't going to get a start in front of Duku, who is pacier and better in the air. He did get the one goal against Alloa that was reasonably vital, otherwise didn't get too much of the ball in or around the box in his time with us. Might have done better playing off of a strike partner than in our 4-2-3-1/4-1-4-1 set up, but he didn't look like he was really premiership quality either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 There's a petition doing the rounds on Facebook to keep Martindale in the job. Signed it straight away. I'm a Raith fan, but it's good to see he's turned himself around. We are in a time where people's mental health is suffering, the SFA need to consider that as well. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Why is Martindale being witch-hunted now? He’s served his time and reformed and was clearly the one running the show at Livingston for years. He should be celebrated not ridiculed. SFA get everything so wrong. 50,000 people sing about killing each other is fine apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Elijah Adebayo - Wikipedia Could be a decent signing for us in the summer given our track record of players from Walsall 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Think he's already agreed a contract with Hearts for the summer. We would have to agree a fee with Walsall now and offer him a big deal which won't happen. Also, we have a million strikers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the sounds of it, it was called off and they've went with Gnanduillet instead I thought? He's out of contract in the summer so could sign a pre contract which he may have done with Hearts as you say but idk. We do have a lot of strikers but depends on quality as I can't see SKA making the grade, Poplatnik has disappeared as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seemed to be a popular story at a time when people couldn't get there head around why someone with absolutely no football experience somehow became so influential. Seems he was also a pretty good football coach though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly appropriate to question whether a man with convictions in relation to organised crime is suitable for a (relatively) high profile job in the game. This was a grown man with very long-standing links to some seriously unpleasant individuals (and no doubt some unpleasant behaviour of his own). He wasn't a daft wee laddie when he did these things. If he's genuinely rehabilitated then he should be cleared for the post but it should certainly be looked at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
