Heid_The_Baw Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Signed a while back. Announced today. Excellent signing. No doubt as he is another one the Pars were creaming themselves over the prospect of signing he will now be too old, injury prone, not good enough for them anyway, Rovers are the new Gretna and the usual other bullshit the fans of that abolutely massive up there with Barcelona Townies come out with.

Raithie Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Can we sign Ashcroft as well just for shits and giggles? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 4 minutes ago, AllanJM said: To answer Tx's question about potential RB....I just have a feeling that we'll be seeing Megwa at Rovers. I don't see him getting near the first team at Hibs and I actually think they might let him go on a permanent deal (with the usual sell-on clauses). It’ll be interesting to see how Gray feels about Megwa, and I’d certainly welcome him on either a season long loan or a signing. 6 minutes ago, AllanJM said: I'm basing this on absolutely nothing other than a hunch and am fully prepared to be completely wrong and mocked accordingly. Nah, people will never have a wee go at you for guesses and thoughts…not on P&B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we do still probably need to replace Corr or we're one injury/suspension away from Dick or Brown being the back-up CB and we don't want to be in that position again. I'd imagine Ashcroft would stretch the budget a bit too much for that role and we would also struggle to keep 4 experienced CB's happy. I'd expect another youngster to come in to fill that role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenson will be first choice LB. This makes Dick cover for LB and LCB, making Brown 5th choice option for CB. A RB, winger/no.10 and a striker and that’s likely us likely done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have have we not? Last season we had Watson, Murray and Corr. This season we've got Hanlon, Murray and Fordyce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Hanlon's been sorted for a while though and an offer was on the table to Corr so that would suggest Murray thinks we need another CB on the books. I do agree with you on the other requirements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's quite possibly the best defence we've had since the days of my namesake, maybe even better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that’s idea about Stevenson at RB… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Anyone notice McPake’s “interview” with the Courier. Basically saying the Pars can’t really afford to compete this year with Ayr, Raith and Partick splashing to sign and Livi retooling. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/5016452/james-mcpake-cant-compete-dunfermline-championship-rivals/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRover Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Hanlon a brilliant signing. Club really showing they mean business but I for one can't wait for the meltdown on here the first time we concede from a corner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
