The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

His last season was horrendous.

 

Yeah, that was a pretty flat season overall.  Ellis and Hill at centre back, Malone at left back, Mensing and S.Anderson in midfield with Walker, Joe Hammill up on the left. Lucky we had Graham up top and even Spence who got 13 that season.

 

His best season was playing in off the right in 10/11. We seem to have had a bit of luck in recent years with wide players cutting inside in a lop sided 4-4-2: Walker got 11 that season, Conroy got 10 two years ago and Craigen was on 9 (?) from last season as well (Hammill is the obvious exception here).

How was he an arsehole?

 

Can't for the life of me remember what game it was but at the final whistle he clearly wasn't a happy chappy and was inviting Rovers fans for a scrap outside. Fair enough he was getting pelters, those fans were arseholes as well, but to respond like that is just very arseholey behaviour. I think he came out with some guff as well when he signed for a lower league team, something along the lines of that particular team were 'going places' whereas we were going backwards. Just came across as a very bitter wee tube.

He said that cutting our budget was embarrassing. Whether this was bitterness at him realising his career as a full-time footballer was over, or if he genuinely did believe that, it was poor to see the club taking steps to safeguard its future being described in such a way.

He went to Brechin and was booted out the door after 6 months. League 2 then beckoned for him, with East Fife and Berwick.

The players discussions are ongoing with, what do we think Connelly, Anderson and McKeown seem the only likely targets and I think KcKeown or Connelly may already be away so Ando could yet be back in rovers colours next season.
