Wee Sandy Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 It MUST be true, it was in The Courier!! I mean, Journalists don't make things up, AND misquote folk to sell papers, I mean they don't, do they? PLUS, there certainly could not be two misquotes in the same article.....how could there be? Sheesh! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've always found the Courier to be very reliable when it comes to the Rovers, much like the FFP. In terms of online only, Deadline News are really good as well. Whatever you may think of the Courier/FFP otherwise, their sports coverage of us is excellent and really as good as we can hope for. Much better than the occasional dross that appears in the Daily Record - "Raith gaffer Gary Locke insists his side will beat x opponent and are no pushovers yada yada". Then there's the match reports that seem to come out of a generator - chuck in the scorer's name and there it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found on many occasions the Courier prints more accurate story's about DAFC than our own Dunfermline Press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What's the script with Jason Thomson? Just not match fit yet? Needed two touches a lot last night and seemed off the pace. Also where is BeckenBarr? February is approaching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on the bench and not getting in the team as Bene and M'Voto have been a brilliant partnership all season. He's not injured any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not injured any more. According to others he can play midfield too. Surely we can accommodate him somewhere. He could have come on last night to shore up that defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to Hibs, Dundee United and Morton and fail to beat Dumbarton this Saturday then questions will need to be asked from the board about our management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 They were singing his name last night, FFS. Nae need. Get them playing like that in the league and all his troubles will be over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a 98th minute penalty with the foul happening over a foot outside the box, and it still be 0 wins in 12. We wanted rid of Murray as he had 3 wins in 20. How many wins has Locke had in his last 20 games? Gary Locke now has 3 wins in his last 21 games at the minute. Lose on Saturday then that will get a lot, lot worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was ridiculous when they were chanting his name. That tells Drysdale etc, that the fans are still well on-side with him, and he still has the fans full backing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attitude and the application was there i'd rather give the guy a chance to see if he can build on that and turn it into a winning run.....we've let him spend the budget lets see what happens over the next couple of weeks.....doing that we can be sure for certain sacking him is the correct move. As I have already stated i'm not a Locke fan but need to be realistic about it, the board will use the last two performances as an indication to give him a bit more time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lose on Saturday then that will get a lot, lot worse. I don't mean he should get weeks and weeks, but he should be given a little time. If our position gets any worse over the next 3 or 4 games then it should be curtains for him. If we suffer a heavy defeat this weekend, then it should also be curtains. If the team look disinterested, then that says something about him motivational skills and again - he should be punted. If we put in a valiant effort but fail this week, then I think that gets him another shot the week after and obviously if we were to win he should still be here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
