grumswall Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 "A full squad retained / released list will be announced shortly" Doubt there will be many surprises. Goalkeeping situation will be interesting, as far as I can see we have four on the books still. I expect mckeown connelly and probably laidlaw and/or law to be released aswell. Laidlaw is too injury prone for his age to make it professional and law just doesn't look like he has the ability from my admittedly limited time of seeing him. Is ford the guy we signed from hearts? Don't think iv ever seen him play but going off of fm he is a rb? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Retained/released does sound a bit definite, particularly with Connolly and McKeown. You would assume those two have other offers, however. Soon find out I guess. I Imagine anyone who hasn't signed already will be released.

grumswall Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Seems a strange one for accies. Most of you seemed happy he was away on loan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Not too devastated about Longridge. He finished really strongly but his first few games were abysmal. Time will tell which was his 'out of form' period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Surprised Accies kept Longridge on, most on here seemed happy he was punted out on loan to us. I'd have been happy to keep him, showed what he was all about once he got himself properly fit. I've heard McKeown was going abroad or to England, might be total shite though. What about Grantie though? Ohhhh, Grantie Grantie, Grantie Grantie Grantie Grantie Anderson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Longridge has re-signed with us. I know a few of you were hoping he'd stay on. What an utter fool. He was shipped out on loan in the last 6 months of his contract as he wasn't wanted at Accies. He played well for us. Canning changed his mind and all is forgiven by Longridge..? Idiot. He's not good enough for the top league. That's guaranteed so it looks like Canning is preparing for relegation next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I thought Longridge was decent. Was open-minded on him coming back, although I'm not too fussed that he's signed again with Accies. He is not too dissimilar to Grant Anderson, given the physical attributes he brought to the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Ooft. You ok M9? Never thought Louis Longridge would have this effect on someone. I'm fine thanks. He was my number one signing priority of the summer. I'd have rather had him than Aiden Connolly if being honest so I'm a big disappointed with his choice understandably. He's basically signed for a man who told him, he wasn't wanted. Not sure why anyone would do that to be honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 As they say, football is all about opinions. I really, really don't understand why anyone would rather have Longridge than Connolly. Seems to be quite a few people of the same opinion though so fair enough. Would have liked Longridge back but think Barr will be a more than adequate replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Connolly is fine against the part-time sides but he didn't make a huge impression against the better sides in the league. He's probably a bit of a luxury we can do without. Longridge seemed a bit more reliable to me, even if he isn't as talented. Not that it matters now that neither will be with us next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Josh Falkingham looking for a new club. Could liven up the derbies if he was turning out for Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We have central midfielders but im struggling to name one that can open up the play, play a killer pass and score 10+ goals a season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
