pub car king Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Shit I thought brown was on a 2 year deal. For me he's the most important signing that Ian Murray has made. I think he's started every match so far, he is versatile and can slot in to cover in defence, has a better shot on him than he thinks he does and he's a composed presence on the park. How many yellow cards does he pick up then not put a foot wrong the rest of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know why, but I had Brown on a two year deal too…so I probably mislead a few people, apologies. Edit: Here’s why: https://www.raithrovers.net/54883/scott-brown-becomes-ian-murrays-second-arrival.htm Lists a two year deal…looking further… Edit two: Raith Rovers website listed Brown’s contract as expiring June 2023 a couple of days ago…now says June 2024.

Enigma Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 There was something in a Raith TV or a Courier interview a couple of month ago about him being poised to sign on for another year, then we never heard any more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever's happened, it's a massive plus to have Brown signed until the summer of 2024. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, because they announced it in the Spring as a two year deal through 2024. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Aye, I'd have Brown as one of the first we need to keep. Murray appears to be building something (#transition) but really don't want to see this side decimated in the summer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whoever takes us over (if it even happens) also sees this and doesn’t try to change too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Optimistically, I checked through the rest of the player profiles but there are no other mysterious contract updates 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) So Brown is actually on a two year deal, then? Great news! Edit: This section has been added to his profile on the website. You’d think we’d have announced this when it happened.

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 We seem to have some sort of genie who grants our every wish with Brown. Last week, we were all fretting at him missing the Motherwell game and it turned out he wasn't suspended after all. This week, we're worried about his contract expiring this summer and it turns out he's signed up until 2024. Brown hattrick on Friday please.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithfan2711 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 looks like it was only a two year deal if he made a certain amount of appearances and he must have hit that number at some point. Chuffed with that as he has been one of our best players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Hamilton’s revival has brought the bottom of the table a little bit closer. Hope we can start picking up wins to ease my natural nervousness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weeks fixture list should help…Cove and Accies face stiff competition, Partick v Arbroath could be a win for us either way, and ICT are unlikely to get anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we can start picking up wins to ease my natural nervousness. Accies have had a good turn around but it’s pretty much a 3 horse race at the bottom now. I’d say 40 points will absolutely guarantee safety. There would have to be a monumental collapse by ourselves or Inverness to fail to reach that with 11 games to play. If Accies keep up their good form it’s Cove and Arbroath that’ll be very worried. We’re as close to Queens Park as Accies are to us and I don’t think we’re catching them. edited as I can’t count.

Raithie Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Not overly concerned about Hamilton's upturn in form impacting our league campaign, more worried about the cup final if they keep going the way they're going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think in a one off final it’ll be a fairly tight game. Have to be honest and don’t think I’d be that devastated to lose the final having won it so recently. Might feel different on the day. P&B’s latest form guide shows it’s the current best two teams in the final… SPFL Championship Form Guide Points Last Six Hamilton Accies 13 Raith Rovers 10 Partick Thistle 9 Queens Park 8 Dundee 8 Arbroath 8 Ayr Utd 7 Morton 7 Inverness CT 6 Cove Rangers 5 Cove may end up in trouble if this form continues.

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Hamilton's form would be more worrying if we looked incapable of picking up any sort of results but at the moment that's not the case. There's also the fact that at least one of Cove and Arbroath would need to put a similar run together and that doesn't look likely at this stage. Agree that the cup final will be a different proposition than we thought it might have been a month ago though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) If you continue the form in the last six through the rest of the season then the table would end up roughly like this: Queens Park 59 Dundee 58 Partick Thistle 54 Ayr Utd 53 Raith Rovers 52 Morton 51 Hamilton Accies 48 Inverness CT 43 Arbroath 37 Cove Rangers 35 Cove down and Arbroath in the play off. We’d be well safe but finish just outside the promotion play offs. If we’re going to get 4th then suggest we still need to improve in the run-in, turning draws into wins. Still all to play for though. Edited February 22, 2023 by roverthemoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
