Michael W Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Not much to say about that, really. Cards being held very close to the chest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanCouserRRFC Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 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. Morton at home in the cup I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 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. Might not necessarily mean as a contracted player, it could just mean getting a loanie back: for example, Hardie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz80 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I always thought it was Greig McCulloch that was famed for his squeaky voice, not Wilson... You are right, I'm getting them mixed up. Used to always have a Wee red puss when he used to scream as well didn't he. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he took a few digs when he got let go and wanted a square go with some boys who were bigger arseholes than him? Not bothered with that at all. I don't get the hate for him, was a decent and passionate player for us in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he wasn't great in his last year by any stretch, but he did give us a few good seaosns before that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another abiding memory of Walker was him giving it the 'shh' sign at Dunfermline fans in the big derby game when we went 1-0 up. Fairly came back to bite him in the arse...as these things usually do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 My shouts are often heard at matches. My brother who films from the railway stand even said he heard me once shouting at Allan Walker! On another note, he overheard shouting between Walker and G.Anderson on Saturday. Went along the lines of this.... Walker: You awrite Grant? G.Anderson: aye how? Walker: Coz You're playing fucking shite!!! Haha!! This is one of my favourite Walker stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 For those of you who didn't get yesterday's FFP, Locke closing in on two Rovers' signings. Don't expect any scoops, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Aitken confirmed in our local paper today that he's given up on Nade and started looking at other targets after he confirmed he was looking to go full-time. I really wouldn't be surprised to see him make a return to Raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Christian Nade is leaving us to go back full-time. I wouldn't be at all shocked to see him back with you guys. Locke loves a big striker (Ngoo, Sutton, Magennis etc) and he obviously fits that bill. I also don't see him heading back to the Premiership nor playing for 'big team' down here (or Falkirk) which would leave, realistically Livi/Airdrie in League 1 or yourselves, QOTS, Morton or St Mirren as his options. That FFP article about Locke being close to a striker just made me think of him, with us saying today that we won't wait any longer for him.

I really wouldn't be surprised to see him make a return to Raith. I wouldn't mind him as an impact player, but as a main striker week in week out? I often thought he slowed the play down a lot and it didn't seem to matter who we paired him with. In short, a total meh signing if it was, you could see his utility for Dumbarton in that last game against us, but having had him for that whole season before hand? He just didn't do enough overall.

Raithie Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I lost count the amount of times we lumped high balls to him, something that doesn't go with his style of play where he needs the ball played to his feet. His close ball control is tremendous at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd take him, we really didnt get the best out of him last time. He bullied our defence at the last game through at the Rock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His close ball control is tremendous at times. True and he's a very decent finisher as well, but even then he had a tendency with us to hold onto it too long, he'd get the ball and hang onto it even as team mates moved beyond him into space, so the defence would set and space would be lost. I get the utility of a guy like Nade, but I'd rather a complimentary partership like that between Stewart and Vaughan, based on moving into space at speed, one going short and the other long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 If Locke does want to get a big target man type in to hold the ball up we could do worse than Nade. We would really have to use him miles better than we ever did under Murray though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Might not necessarily mean as a contracted player, it could just mean getting a loanie back: for example, Hardie? If we get Hardie back then I'm pretty sure we'll have a great season. If he had a full season at this level he's bound to get 15-20 goals, if he gets decent service. If we were getting a fourth striker, do we want a big guy to allow us to play long if we need to vary the play? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC_Lachlan Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'd take him back so long as he doesn't get Murray-fied. Boy needs the ball at his feet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
