Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ex Raith right back Craig Wilson rumoured to be on his way to Arbroath,hopefully he can still do a job in League 2.One of my favourite right backs in recent times.Brilliant when bombing down the right wing in his prime. He was kinda stifled when we were promoted again due to McGlynn understandably looking to keep things a bit tighter at the back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Darren Petrie will be signing today and Martin Scott is moving on. Both stories in today's Courier and supported by quotes from McKinnon and Scott. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good player with us, always struggled with how he went from fist choice right back at a championship club that had finished second that year, to hardly getting a game at Forfar to out of the senior game all in 14 months or so.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Glad to see Scott move on. A signing I genuinely thought would be a good one, but what a disappointment when his only real achievement here was not getting sent off despite it looking highly likely on a number of occasions. Very underwhelmed with the Petrie signing given the tepid reports. Edited May 29, 2015 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Very surprised at Raith taking a punt on Petrie. He never got all that much of a chance with us last season but when he did he was pretty hopeless. He was very highly rated a few years ago, came through the Utd youth ranks with Gauld and Soutter etc. Think he got a really bad injury and hasn't been the same since. There's clearly a player in there somewhere. I genuinely hope he does well and that's despite him turning in the most heartless performance I've seen from a Sons player. It's never nice to hear about a promising youngsters career being ruined by injury but I fear that might be why a 'tough tackling midfielder' spent his time with us avoiding the ball and running away from tackles. A good run of games at first team level might be what he needs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Only 19 and former U/19 Scotland captain. McKinnon thinks highly of him but we'll just have to wait and see - link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Only 19 and former U/19 Scotland captain. McKinnon thinks highly of him but we'll just have to wait and see - link. He's also likely cheap. With Scott, Conroy and Fox gone we will need most of a new midfield - Petrie will now be part of that, but will he offer something that Matthews won't? We need at least one experienced player in there you'd think..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just didn't happen for him at Starks Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Spence tweeted Cardle and said "see you at the same job centre on Monday?" Cardle replied " Maybe the same team pal?" Are they both coming back here or are they both going to the pars? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I would like Richard Brittian as the experienced midfielder Edited May 29, 2015 by Raith_Rasta 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel wickson Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Albeit I only saw him in the final game of the season, Matthews looked significantly better than anything Petrie produced in all of his time with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only time we've seen him as well. He got an injury time cameo the last game of last season against Livingston, but never featured at all this season until the final game where he got his debut start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what makes it such a "meh" signing - we already have a 19 year old holding midfielder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 At the minute, our matchday squad will look something like: Mcgurn Thomson Barr ------ Mckeown ------ Callachan Petrie ------ Vaughan Stewart We still need at least: 2 CB's unless hill and Watson re-sign 3 Wingers, 2 if Anderson resigns 1 experienced CM 2 Strikers And Somebody who can cover fullback positions So we still a need a minimum of 9 more players IMO but saying that I expect Bates, Robertson and Matthews to try and push through this season as well after hearing that Mckinnon takes a keen interest in the youths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 That's the only time we've seen him as well. He got an injury time cameo the last game of last season against Livingston, but never featured at all this season until the final game where he got his debut start. Matthews and Bates had a decent outing against Edinburgh City, it's a pity he had to wait anothe 46 games to get a start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Good luck to Petrie, there's definitely potential in there. Did very well in recent Development Leagues games, apparently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've spoken to guy I know very well at Dundee Utd who works with youth. Petrie was very highly thought of and many are surprised he's been released. Been told that so long as he stays fit there's player in there and he'll do a good job. He certainly can't be any worse than Fox and Scott and will be cheaper than both. Also McKinnon clearly thinks there's talent there but we'll have to wait and see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
