Homer Thompson Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Even for non-Raith fans, that's pretty gutting news. A really good player who's had some horrific, undeserved, bad luck with injuries. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to imagine it being hard for him to rehab and go again - even mentally, if not physically. Totally agree with you. Must be another hard challenge mentally for the lad as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope so, but like Hendry he cannot be adequately replaced with our resources, let alone what is actually available presently. Our options are basically an unattached player or a teenager on loan from Dundee United or similar. Thoroughly depressing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 We've genuinely got the shittest luck with long term injuries. How many have we had over the last decade? It feels like we get at least 1 ACL injury each year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding Dang Doo Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 At moments this like how it affects us really is immaterial. Personally I'm absolutely devastated for the guy. He's a fantastically talented footballer and by the sounds of it a great personality off the pitch. I've no idea how mentally you can cope with the constant set backs. What he should know is that he has the full support and is in the thoughts of not only our fan base but the wider footballing community. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a proper c**t for everyone associated with the Rovers and I really feel for the guy who is such a talent and looked like he might finally be getting strong enough to play regularly through the last part of last season. A real sickener, and arguably the end of any shot we might have had at the top half of the table. More prosaically, we will need another body in to provide the necessary competition and depth and James Keatings now really needs to step up to the plate in a big fucking way.

Broken Algorithms Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Two we got our pitch, from what I remember, which is Vaughan and Aaron Lennox. Vaughan's previous 3 were Starks on grass, Forfar (where Regan Hendry also got a serious injury) and Brechin in winter.McGurn got one at Stark's on grass. Cuthbert had an injury he never came back from up at Tannadice. Thomson did his at achilles at Ochilview. There'll be others I'm forgetting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 That's horrible news. Vaughan is a player that you just enjoy watching, even when he's playing against you. The boy has had absolutely no luck, and should be playing at a much much higher level. A real shame. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, before today - and someone correct me if I'm wrong - but Vaughan's last two were up at Forfar and Brechin, and I think Hendry's (the last non Vaughan related) was at Forfar as well. Brechin is obviously a real shitty grass surface outside of two weeks in August and Forfar is an older artificial pitch I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) devastating news for a special talent.Hes shown enormous mental strength to come back from his 3 previous ACL injuries but you,ve have to think coming back from a 4th is too far https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/football/rovers-striker-vaughan-out-for-the-season-with-recurrence-of-acl-injury-3365929 Edited August 31, 2021 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Yup that’s absolutely the worst news, such a f*cking shame on the boy. Personally for me, I hope he does retire, otherwise he could end up putting himself in a wheel chair at 50/60 year old because he canny walk. It’s absolutely criminal[emoji174]For me, might be controversial, but I’m not bothered for Gullan, a real take it or leave for me to be honest. I did think prior to the worst news ever, that we are needing a different type of striker in. With Vaughany now done I reckon we can do with another winger/10 type player. Trust McGlynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
