Raithie Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Potter was in The Courier back in October saying steps were being made to identify targets for January so I'm suspecting if the right player(s) are realistic options and available we might see some movement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But any suggestion that a guy currently on premiership wages, playing well at the top end of the championship will suddenly sign for someone without costing that club a notable amount of money is just mental. Not saying he isn’t affordable for you, just that it isn’t a no brainer as suggested by your free comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he knows his contract isn't going to be renewed at Dundee and Rovers were to offer an 18 month or two year deal, he might well sever his ties with Dundee without it costing the Rovers a substantial amount of money. Who knows? Maybe Dundee have been impressed with him, want him back, and therefore ban him from playing on Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? The terms of the loan are fixed, not mutable, and the period is until January. The only way to cancel a non-keeper loan is if BOTH teams agree. Since he’s already played for us in other cups, I suspect the Scottish Cup would be no different, but I guess if it was written into the loan…does anyone know? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I'm not convinced the cup tie situation is always written into the loan agreement. I'm sure I've heard instances where managers have said they are waiting to find out if they can use a loan player in the lead up to a cup match. That could just be ignorance on their part I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t have to be and parent clubs can make requests during the loan spell. St Johnstone contacted Kilmarnock to ask them not to play Callum Hendry in the cup when he was on loan there. Admittedly they were keen to actually use him when he returned, but it doesn’t have to be in the terms of the deal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that Dundee might want him back in January, therefore they might not want him cup-tied by having a clause in the loan. They would have no problem with him playing in the other cups as Dundee aren't in the challenge cup and the league cup is finished before January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Unless Dundee have a run of injuries I can’t see them needing Byrne back. A bit like Ethan Ross for us - surplus to requirements based on performance levels of of current players in that position. We really do need Byrne and Stanton tied down. Ive a feeling next season will be the best chance for a few teams to get into the SPL for many a year. The chances are Utd will be replaced with either Livi or Ross County which will mean for me at least there would be very little across a few teams. Still hoping Dundee Utd go on some sort of poor run, maybe the Falkirk result will be the catalyst 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, we just need to try stick with them. The run we’ve been on needs commended as it’s a nightmare league to show consistency when everyone can beat each other. We've got goals throughout the team and I’m convinced with good service Hamilton will be lethal now fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a firestick with the 'access' to the Championship games, and I dunno about our home games, as I am always at them, but our away games tend to be Morton TV, ParsTV, Arbroath TV etc, the official feeds, but unofficially if you know what I mean. perfectly watchable. Occasionally last season I saw a few that were weird, as in the camera would take a second to catch up that the ball was in the other half. In general though, if it saves me a Saturday spent travelling half the day to Ayr and back, or Greenock etc then I will lump for watching in the hoose in comfort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If county come down they’ll spend like f**k just like last time. Livi for Dundee United no other movement is what everyone should want if they can’t go up themselves Edited November 20, 2023 by parsforlife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Uncle Roy will just pay whatever it costs to get promoted again if County end up being relegated. Them coming down would be a disaster, quite frankly. One might argue this is no different to any other team that comes down, but MacGregor just writes the loss off, so there's no damage to the club's finances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent enough centre half who will win more than his fair share of high balls. Not a great passer and looked like there was a calamity in him every now and then - just like the cup final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 He was playing for a pub team last year so be interesting to see him in a proper team. I remember him and before the sending off he looked physical and solid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there are good reasons he was without a senior club but in any case I'm sure Messrs Potter, Murray etc know what they're doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
