RRFC1989 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I can't be alone in thinking the posts from those claiming to be ITK about Lewis Vaughan's rumoured injury are in incredibly poor taste. Whether the rumours are true or not, the fact the club or Lewis himself haven't confirmed it shows it as either speculation, or a betrayal of trust from someone who has been told something in confidence. Shitebag behaviour either way.Im not saying its not true, but these things can start from one speculation and the next things it’s Chinese whispers and its spreads like wild fire. Despite the clubs errors, they’ve always communicated serious injuries well either via raith tv or the ffp. Until I hear from an official source I’m taking it as a rumour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Agreed. Keep yer puss shut in future until we are given info by the club. I could easily ask the gaffer, I say hello if I see him while out walking, but I doubt he'd be happy if he heard it was leaked if it's true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the difference is that all Vaughan's previous ACL ruptures have been during games, so were all public knowledge anyway. This one is different and I wouldn't necessarily expect any announcement at all from the club. Most times when someone is injured in training it comes out through the press. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone employed with the club should not be leaking information, except at the clubs request, and especially with regard to an injury. It's one thing to say, "I saw player X hobbling out of Stark's on crutches today, doesn't look good"; comepletely different from saying, "that's Vaughan fucked his ACL again". It's that whiff of 'look at me, I know stuff' from the posts I find in poor taste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Dunfermline and Ayr look absolutely humpty at the moment. What are the chances they’ll both be vastly improved by the time we play them in the rearranged fixtures? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 IF, and I mean IF the rumours about Lewis are true, Surely we'll have to get another striker in?? Gullan hopefully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Based on the garbage being served up at the moment at Ibrox, there's not much to fear from Celtic in the cup anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gullan hopefully. Doubt it. We have Keatings, Poplatnik and Mitchell at striker. We play one or two at a time, usually one with two wings, and Arnott is already looking a treat at AM as an option if you don’t want Tait there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell at a push, but he's straight out of the youth set up and this is championship level. The first hasn't exactly stepped up to McGlynn's standards yet either. Mitchell and Varian are both kids as well and we are talking about not having an established, experienced player available. Poplatnik and Varian are the ones you'd play as a number 9, but aside from Vaughan, Keatings is the only other who could remotely play as a proper number 10. I know we have, and will again play Tait as the guy behind the striker (which we can't really do until Spencer is fit again anyway) and I agree that Arnott shows a lot of potential. At the same time you can always tell the difference between a midfielder being pushed up and a striker dropping deep, quite apart from Vaughan's undoubted quality. You can't replace him... at the same time a bit more quality up front would be welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev23 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Fair enough, forgot Varian. With Varian in, we won’t get another.Something that is very consistent with us under McGlynn is we add players, even when it seems we have spent our budget. Losing our best player, I think it would be pretty safe to say we will try to add someone. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gullan turning up, now he’s leaving Hibs in search of first team football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I can see Killie going for Gullan as rumoured. Reckon he might fancy going for a league title also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) We can't loan Gullan as we already have an over 21 year old in Poplatnik. If we wanted him back, we'd have to buy him. If Hibs have told him he's free to go then the latter is not unfeasible, right enough. Edited August 30, 2021 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Soze Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Hopefully there may be enough potential income from the Celtic game to try and put a package together to tempt Gullan, as said before we won't be able to pay a transfer fee, would require Hibs letting him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
