He'll definitely get the reception he deserves.. That's slightly misleading isn't it? He does say he did a great job and left a good squad. McKinnon is a big part of the reason you're doing well this season so Rovers fans should all be thankful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're the best team in Fife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Story confirmed, with quotes from Pep Guardiolocke. http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2016/08/25/ex-kilmarnock-keeper-set-instant-raith-rovers-debut-dundee-united-following-injury-crisis/?platform=hootsuite Hmmm. Good effort but it's no Beckenbarr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) McKinnon in the Courier. "Can't wait for the match tomorrow. I know most of their players inside out so have a good handle on them and there will definitely be a few at Raith keen to impress, without naming names" He is also anticipating an "enormous" crowd of 8,000.

If you're better off without the guy, why are you so upset at him? Is it because he might sign more of your players before the window closes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking the same the other day, at the very most I'd admit that we'd be a very different side without Bene & Barr (Bobby, not chocolate). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does to be fair. Of the 17 man squad from Saturday, he worked directly with 8 of them (7, if you don't include Bobby Barr, but he knows him of old, anyway) and knows McManus as well, him having played for Morton against McKinnon's Brechin and Raith sides and let's not forget trying to sign McManus for Raith in January of last year. That number would also be higher but for injuries to Davidson, C.Barr and Robertson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a weird one that mcKinnon hasn't left a bigger fingerprint on the squad, but I suppose he'd more or less punted all his own poor signings, and most of the good ones either left or were on loan anyway. The number in the whole squad wouldbe a wee bit higher but for Robertson and Davidson's injuries I guess. Quite amusing that there's as many Murray signings in that squad as McKinnon ones. The real heartening thing is the fact that the three boys who've come through the youth system look like integral parts of the current team, and while mcKinnon will have worked with most of these guys in some capacity, Locke is using Calalchan and Matthews (for example) in a bit of a different role to what he did.

Raithie Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'd prefer to see the fans use any fan energy to get behind the current regime than spend it booing McKinnon/Toshney. We're doing well under Locke thus far and if we continue to do well then McKinnon will quickly be a distant memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 We have apparently signed Josh McDonald, on a part time deal from East Kilbride. Don't know what position he plays. All I know is he's an 18 yr old wonderkid apparently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie, I'd love to get it up the pair of them tomorrow, that's what football is all about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Was just thinking this is probably the youngest Rovers side I can ever remember, with Vaughan, Matthews and Callachan having come from our own youth set up and even the loan players like Thompson and McManus being youngsters. Average age of the starting XI tomorrow will be 23, as it was last week.With experience sitting injured at the moment the players in the side are showing they're worth it. Hopefully continues tomorrow... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully continues tomorrow... Until we sub on Rudi. If he replaces Vaughan he adds a whole year and 4 months to the average age by himself Edited August 26, 2016 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
