We could sell Barr off for £100k to a bunch of baffled sports scientists who marvel at one man's inability to complete a full preseason. I love Barr when he's fit, but it's pretty incredible. The first half of the season, folk are cursing him calling him a waste of a wage, and the second half of the season we're reminded why we love him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 If Gary Locke makes a success of this, it really is a brilliant example that ultimately, fans are clueless. Everyman and their Granny were against the appointment, but we were singing his praises today. Some start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerhouse7 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 They have just signed a new defender so very unlikely.Anyway, hands up everyone who expected us to be on 10 points after 4 games? Apparently signing two foreign defenders tomorrow, so doubt we will be after anyone from you guys again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKinnon and Toshney, I can understand, but I don't think we can grudge anything to Laurie. The guy was there during some of our darkest days during the second division as a player. This. Laurie put everything he had into the Rovers both in a playing sense and with regards to raising funds for the club. A top man who deserves nothing but respect from the supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't exactly enamoured with Lockes appointment but right now I'm happy enough to admit I was totally wrong. ETA Laurie's a class act and Rovers legend. Would love to see him learn his trade under McKinnon and return to us as manager at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Didn't hear anything about Laurie tbh. All McKinnon and Toshney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned on the match thread, in between watching the Rovers on saturday I've been putting my toys back in the pram quietly. I've been pretty much been delighted to have been proven wrong on every level. Every single sign, in my opinion, was that we would play poor football and sign ex-Hearts and Killie players. We've had the opposite of that. While we can be defensively shakey, we've looked excellent going forward. We've added Easton to the mix as well who is a top coach, and Jackson adds a lot of experience. I'll try to refrain from passing judgement in the future gents... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Didn't hear anything directed at Elllis, who is quite rightly regarded as a legend. Think it must have been crossed wires, unless it was an individual you clearly heard...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'm with Brashy, anyone shouting abuse at Laurie needs to be having a look at themselves. Great guy, a great servant and he loves the rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 There was two or three times a song broke out about Ellis but it sounded like only a handful of folk were singing. As for Locke, it is still very early days but the signs are definitely promising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 There was definitely at least one chorus aimed at Ellis, but it wasn't particularly vociferous. I agree with everyone else on this one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Let's hold some horses here. I was in the tiny minority not opposed to Locke's appointment, but it's too way early to be going to the other reach and declaring him a success. It's still August. We have to be happy with how things are going right now, but let's wait until the clocks go back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Quick question: what's happened to the Irish boy from Sheffield United that we signed? Joel Coustrain? He's been there or thereabouts in the match day squads, and played in an Under 20s game in the last week or so. Chris Johnston, on the other hand, I'd completely forgotten about! We have such a big squad... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 There was a song being sung yesterday that I'd never heard before and couldn't make out the words. It's sung by loads of clubs but is a catchy wee tune. Literally this is the only way I can describe it, be prepared: "RRFC.....RRFC....RRFC....*dum dum dee dum*.....*dum dum dee dum*....RRFC"Someone fill me in with the words for the 'dum dum dee dum' part hahaha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
