da_no_1 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Imagine stealing the NYD derby ticket money and spending it on Kevin Rutkiewicz and Martin Hardie?Imagine having a top class striker, losing him to a team 15 miles along the road for f**k all, consoling yourself that you'll be entitled to a development fee only for it to be the same amount you were due us for our share of the cup tie gate.Now that must've hurt...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that must've hurt...... Well no, it didn't really. Nisbet leaving meant we were short of options up to so McGlynn did extra work last Summer with 16 year old Kieron Bowie. Bowie hadn't really had much of an impact before then but had all the attributes. The lad started the season with an excellent vein of form and over the season went from being linked to the likes of Hearts and Dundee United before we settled on a 6 figure sum with Fulham. Had Nisbet never left it wouldn't have happened. We've agreed future clauses depending on performance , and while it will be tough, if he goes on to do decent down there we'll be laughing. In terms of things which have hurt involving Raith Rovers, Nisbet leaving is like stubbing your toe. It a lot at the hurt at the time but you forget about it quite quickly. If we're talking about proper hurt, then it's a laughable incident compared to something like the Anelka or Locke fiascoes which were akin to breaking bones. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hurt was very real when we lost Wee Vaughan again to injury, had he stayed fit the whole season we would have definitely had a higher points gap than the mere one point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't looking for a long winded debate, I was merely responding to Zens' dig about us spending New Year ticket money we owed you on players he thinks won us the league that season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Always going to be disappointing losing someone of Nisbet's quality, but it worked out fine. The squad was so bad that year, that even with him firing goals in at the rate he was, we still finished 3rd and a good 15 points or so off top spot. In the end, Nisbet was the difference between losing a game 3-0 and losing 3-2. There were bigger priorities in the squad. Mainly the poor defending and players who just weren't good enough, or in some cases just a plain shitehawks. That was all sorted, and we were able to bring in Hendry on a 2 year deal. Would have been interesting to see how we would have got on with Nisbet in that team, but it enabled us to bring through Bowie and get £150k for him. Nisbet would have walked for free at the end of his contract anyway, and we wouldn't have achieved anything more than we did. We had the best squad in the league without Nisbet, so it certainly did not "hurt". I much preferred it when Dunfermline fans stuck to walking down Kirkcaldy High Street with a bed sheet singing about how much they hate Raith Rovers. Hopefully we can see those days again soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, it's almost as if the banter on here can only be a one-way street. If you guys are going to insist on throwing shit at us, you will really need to learn how to take it back. Fairly certain no-one did that with the bed sheet either, as I recall it was left at the back of your stadium next to the railway line. I might be wrong tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 Your fans definitely walked along kdy high street with painted bed sheets. There was photos of it on twitter anyone can be arsed to find them. I see Hearts fans are crying on twitter again after Levein was on Sportsound saying that training was cancelled after pressure was applied by us and Morton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
