Hank Scorpio Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 (edited) Take it back about Alegria actually, just had a look at the Falkirk thread and they’re pretty gutted. Maybe then? I dunno. Edited January 12, 2023 by Hank Scorpio 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe then? I dunno. Partick fans said he was dugmeat. I'd be liable to trust them as a better barometer given the dross Falkirk have had on their books for the last 5 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Not seen Alegria this season but from the bits I saw of him when he was at Partick he looked utterly hopeless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldnt take that long anymore, Covid created a nightmare but, at worst, it should be a couple of weeks in this window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tiel Burn Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Can't figure out why but warmed to JS more than I ever have. Confusing and contradictory at times and evasive as always. However seems to try to do the right thing. I fear the skill in that interview will be quickly undone when Mr A Journalist if whatever paper needs to fill a page and our board/owner blab. Given clubs in our league don't even stream home games we are utterly spoiled by our TV folk. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes across as a bit of a kn*b sometimes but this interview he done well. Standard avoiding questions but I can see past that. interesting to hear he doesn’t have the money for the redevelopment of the railway stand - understandably though. A few years ago there was a meeting with fans, Chairman and John McG and someone asked the question about the railway stand, a figure of 1.4million was quoted then. Dread to think what it would be now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyline Drifter Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 40 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Its almost impossible to fail the appeals process so, if you want a foreign player youll get them. If they were in the EC before (which 99% of lower league signings were) then there was no "process" at all previously. And the hurdles you have to jump through as a sponsoring employer for foreigners are extremely onerous. A very narrow area may be easier, in general you're talking nonsense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was more about the fact you can sign virtually any player tbh, the pool of players available abroad is now huge. Scottish clubs need to be willing to exploit that and clubs who wont will fall behind 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are none you "wouldn't have managed to get at all previously" as the country they were moving from and to were both within the EU, no work permits were required and it was no more difficult than signing someone from here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We literally had to wait weeks and cut through all sorts of red tape to sign an EU National in Big John. As for non EU players being easier to sign Not sure it is exactly feasible for Raith Rovers to make its swoop into the untapped Japanese market yet.

Dalziel8 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I see we have advertised for a General Manager for the community foundation. What’s the betting that Boyd is lined up for that job and Sim has put his foot in it by announcing he’s already at the club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
