pub car king Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Absolutely Drysdale is a w**k in this situation, but how many folk saw that potential? I seem to remember a fair few moans week in week out about Bates when he was playing with us. It's really pleasing to see a Scottish player take the chance and throw themselves fully into it rather than the easy route into the English lower leagues because the money's good and there will be plentiful supplies of monster munch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lellywong Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Aren't football fans a fickle lot? They will pounce on anything which they perceive is a mistake or an error of judgement and vent their spleens overloading social media sites with vitriolic condemnations. However when the football club does something positive e.g. subsidising buses to the Hibs game is this met with pages of congratulatory messages? No chance. This is a fantastic gesture from Raith Rovers which has resulted in a lot of extra work for the office staff and volunteers. £5 return to Edinburgh, on a day when public transport will be under severe pressure, ensuring our fans will be able to attend the game with the minimum of hassle should be universally applauded. Well done the Rovers!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done the Rovers!!!I think praise has been given on this forum when it has been deserved, I’ve seen people on this forum and the cup forum praising the buses, as well as the fantastic social media coverage, good signing McGlynn has brought in and the contract extensions that has happened. If you compare P&B with the donkeys on Facebook we are a nice wee bunch, who in my opinion do praise the club when it’s been appropriate 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done the Rovers!!! In principle, I do agree with your point regarding the fickleness of fans (of all clubs, not just RR!) But, speaking as somewhat of an outsider, I've seen a decent amount of praise on here and on twitter for the subsidies for the buses, as well as praise from fellow outsiders like myself at the great uptake and support you're taking through. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachbum Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) I meant that there would be no change to the defence. That aside, for you to have posted the above is just plain stupid.

CALDERON Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Pretty sure I heard Dundee Utd got ahold of the team before a game a couple of seasons back. Posting the team online is utterly moronic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he could have a Plan B up his sleeve On the one hand i'm not convinced Hibs knowing will make a huge difference and to be fair what your describing is a pretty obvious setup for McGlynn tp put out. On the other hand you know the club don't like you publishing these details so why someone who calls themselves a supporter would publish details that the club believes would be detrimental to the team's chances is beyond me and just smacks of being a dick for the sake of being a dick tbh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The.Red. Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 If ' daysgoneby' was watching the team training from inside the ground , they were trespassing , if watching from elsewhere not much can be done , no sure if mcglynn will be all that bothered as what happens on matchday is what counts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he could have a Plan B up his sleeve Not sure how believing that the opposition would gain an advantage from knowing our team in advance is a ludicrous suggestion. Would also love to hear the facts which show that the opposition knowing our team is actually an advantage to us (the opposite of giving the opposition an advantage surely?) McGlynn in his pre-match interview when talking about the Hibs team mentions that he doesn't know if certain players would be playing, or if they are playing then whether they'll play in defence or mid-filed. Surely if he knew this then he'd be able to better prepare his own team? Maybe the opposition never see these posts, maybe even if they do, they gain no advantage from them. But even if you don't think the opposition will gain anything from you leaking the team, surely it's better to keep it to yourself just on the off-chance that it does? Or is appearing 'in-the-know' far too much of an ego-boost for you to stay quiet? Edited February 8, 2019 by stevoraith 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
