Wullie McNaught Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I seriously can't wait to see what Vaughan, Barr, McManus and Callachan will do to the townies next week! Play like we did today and it'll be an enjoyable afternoon, they'll struggle to deal with our movement up top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 On Thursday, August 11, 2016 at 17:55, Paco said: I'm not overly pleased that our new midfielder played 90 minutes last night and will be in the squad again on Tuesday. What if he misses the Fife derby because he's fucking about with Rangers u20's? What if he does? He is their player, not yours. If you arent happy about it dont take players on development loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 What an odd comment. I doubt Paco is in charge of player recruitment. Nothing wrong with a fan being unhappy about a player potentially being missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fan, giving his opinion on it. I doubt he can decide if we take players on a development loan or not.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well clearly not but taking offence at the temerity of Rangers to play one of their own players in a 20s game when he is on a loan specifically designed to allow that to happen is clearly daft. The Challenge Cup is a red herring. He may well be playing for Rangers 20s every midweek. That is the point of these loans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the temerity of Rangers that's the issue, it's the nonsensical format the SPFL have created for the Challenge Cup that has allowed youth football and competitive first team football to mix. Of course clubs should be able to continue to play their own youngsters in youth games despite being out on loan, but that becomes ridiculous when they can play against the club they're on loan to because the youth team has been allowed to enter a first team competition. It's an indefensible farce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an indefensible farce. Well that's a different argument to the suggestion that he might have got injured before a big Fife derby because he might play midweek though. If players come in on Development Loans then there is every likelihood they are going to play for their parent club midweek in something. Like I said, the Challenge Cup thing a red herring here. It's just drawn attention to it because the fact he played was more obviously noticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just to put our "worst performance in years" into perspective, Alloa have now started with seven straight wins, which includes two over premier league opposition, and a 4-0 and a 5-2 in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor147 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 He punched a photographer/pressman....had to go eventually but a great Rovers man... Think he punched a photographer who was snooping around inside Starks after Nicholl left. Seem to remember a picture of him covered in blood in the Sun. Total tomato sauce job though. Doubt the hospital would have let him leave looking like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular!Mr Munro was asked to resign by Mr Penman in the car park outside Fir Park, Motherwell, after the team's 5-0 defeat on Saturday.ThenMr Munro refused to resign and is now seeking compensation from the club over his dismissal.On Tuesday night, Raith were relegated from the Premier Division, after being defeated 6-0 by Rangers.Of course he was popular. All fans love heavy defeats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Rovers were hours from informing the SFA and SPL that they were unable to fulfil their remaining fixtures when in Premier League. Penman put personal money in to save the day. Gets a bad press, bit of an ego, but a Rovers man and without him, who knows where we'd be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
