grumswall Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Are the likes of Vaughan, callachan etc all products of the youth system mcglynn set up when he was in charge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I would say so. He always said it would take 5 years from when it was first put in place for us to start reaping the rewards and getting a steady stream of talent from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was thinking about that. Why did we scrap that for the Fife elite thing? It looks like we had a decent enough setup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I was thinking about that. Why did we scrap that for the Fife elite thing? It looks like we had a decent enough setup. Probably financial reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Seems a bit daft when it's bearing fruit or at least promise to scrap it though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Seems a bit daft when it's bearing fruit or at least promise to scrap it though? Depends how much it was costing. Even when we were developing talent, they were getting sold for buttons. How much did we get from Hibs for that boy? We need to get on the blower to Falkirk, Accies and Dundee United and ask how you get a decent transfer fee for a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene pro-V Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Just need to keep playing them, that's what Falkirk & Accies do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanJM Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Watch the YouTube documentary about the youth set up. They confirm on there that you have to be an elite level academy to play against the other elite teams. We couldn't afford to invest enough for an elite academy on our own so joined forces. If we hadn't our kids wouldn't have been able to play against anyone half decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbykdy Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 21 years ago today we played our first ever European tie against GI of the Faroes, off to a flier in a 4-0 win, halcyon days. Happy anniversary folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Rovers are asking the fans on twitter what songs they want at half time again. Mind they did this last time and someone chose, and then someone decided to actually play fucking Runrig? Some boy replied to the tweet saying Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. Imagine you had free choice to choose literally any song in the history of music ever and you chose Snow Patrol. Our support clearly cannot be trusted to choose music, I'm baffled as to why we've been given a second chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1RonnieCoyle Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The rovers board today announce reduced gate prices for the season ahead £15 for adults £5 for kids with a paying adult. lowest in the championship i believe. its what the fans have asked for so fair play to the board for listening. Only time will tell if we can get more folk in! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
