The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Always felt Murray had a knack of putting together a decent squad (on paper at least) but the standard of football was horrific to watch at times. Substitutions are normally like for like, no plan B (as has been mentioned already), can usually set your watch to when he'll make a sub (75 minute mark), if we're drawing with 15 minutes to go he'll happily settle for that, interviews were full of the most cliche drivel, had a habit of getting the team off to a flyer but gradually dwindling down the table as the league went on etc. Sounds largely negative but will never forget the Ramsdens final which was a fantastic experience. Never went to Ibrox for the SC game so can't comment but it was naturally a tremendous result. Those last two examples though only papered over the cracks of what was a really turgid time to watch us imo.

We were poor overall with patches of excellence under him, a change of scenery was needed for both parties.

Not entirely unreasonable to think he can be a success elsewhere. But he'll need that fabled 'plan B' and a greater sense of adventure. Saying it was 'more important not to concede' at 0-0 with 15 minutes to go at home, and waiting til the 93rd minute to make a like for like sub while 2-1 down at home to Rangers stand out as excellent examples of that..

Haven't had yellow for a while. I loved the Netbuster top from 1997/98 season. Was more of a gold colour. Didn't we play in it more than the home strip that season because we played better in it? Ended up getting fined or something? :lol:

Yeah that's right. That's what happens when you take Martin Harvey away from Jimmy Nicholl.

Yeah, was a great shirt, gold with navy collar and the old new badge.

Went for yellow and orange. Should just f**k it and go all out.

Seriously, I'd go for some sort of Athletico Madrid type away strip.

But orange and yellow would be a change.

It should be something bright coloured anyway.

Where can you vote?
