Funny that I got lambasted for calling M'Voto a big haddie several months ago by plenty people. Our fan base then unanimously voted said player as our PotY. A nightmare against Brechin and signing for Pars later and everyone has changed opinion!

Way I look at it, were we to play Dunfermline competitively this season, would I want M'Voto to be playing against us? Yes. Would I look forward to facing McManus in a team where he isn't isolated and starved of decent service? No.

He was good enough for a while. I missed the Brechin game. Then he joined the parseholes. Now I'm not so keen.

Are you trying to point score?

M'voto was a bomb scare when you're also iffy about the rest of your defence and worried about a shaky goalkeeper. McManus was useless in a team if the midfield couldn't create or pass forward. I'm meh about both leaving but think in a more settled team than ours last year they'd be fine.

Nice Article . What a great footballing attitude the lad has 

I'll put my hand up and say that I was very critical of Spence in the past. Seems to be relishing the chance to go back full time and has a really good attitude. 

With M'Voto, I was thinking after the Hibs game he wasn't all he was cracked up to be. The St Mirren game confirmed it. Then by the time of the Brechin game it was clear nothing was going to change. He got shoehorned into the deep despite his final quarter performances.

M'voto is a ball winning cb. He made a couple of mistakes in the vital games at the end of the season but overall he's probably the best signing locke made. Mcmanus for all his effort never had the technical ability to do what he wanted to. His shooting was worse than callachans, who most lambast for his capabilities in that department. He had a few good games at the end of the season which seems to have clouded our fans judgement. Anyone else see the irony in all of that?

It was absolutely soul destroying turning up every week seeing he was starting up front despite contributing zero the week before. I got this feeling around 30 times.

he definitely put in a better shift towards the end of the season

what was that all about ?

big pity he didn't do the same throughout the season, kept us in a better place

I used to get hoarse shouting how ship he was

He went 21 consecutive league matches without scoring a goal. He was horrendous for us.

Doesn't make him automatically a bad player but his form, and the fact he kept getting picked, was a significant factor in our relegation.

Nicked from Fantalk:

"There's definitely a Cowdenbeath player on his way here. One of their directors just tweeted "All the best sir at @RaithRovers_FC unless against @CowdenbeathFC #MyFamiliy'sfavouriteCowdenPlayer"

Sorry to take this of course a bit, but how do i go about getting my son to be mascot for one of the games? Do i have to contact the club directly? Can't see anything on the website about it.

As far as I remember you have to be in the supporters club.

Someone else maybe know better?
