Raith Against The Machine Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yeah, following that logic we should be giving all of our players away for free, the minute a bigger club shows an interest, to maximise "exposure". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHans Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 "It’s a reasonable amount of money and I think it’s clear that a deal like this would never have happened if David Bates was still here." Laughable from Young. It was never selling Bates that pissed folk off, it was the absence of a fee for for doing so. Well, that and Scott fucking Roberts. The way the whole thing has been handled is a joke but to be fair to Young and the rest of the BoD, had the information not been leaked from the club by the manager at the time then we would all be fairly happy with this outcome. Had Bates stayed at the club and not gone to Rangers he wouldn't have attracted the likes of Hamburg and quite possibly become a diamond in the dirt never to be found. I think the circumstances surrounding his move to Hamburg for free hasn't helped our cause at all and that's down to Rangers not offering him a big enough contract when he originally signed and then failing to meet his needs on his contract renewal. He didn't play much for us and if we're all being honest, there's not many Raith and who recognised just how good a player he was. I'm sure if the details hadn't been released of his move then we'd all be thinking that getting something for him is a lot better than getting nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 It's a Scottish football forum, you thick f**k. I know this, but I have no interest in the goings on at the Piggery. No need for the swearing either dude 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good chance it will however I think Ayr will still win the league without him , it’s clear looking at the league the 2 stand out sides and it was always going to be between us and Ayr unfortunately our away form will cost us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 A good chance it will Mmm I’m not so sure, ref has a clear view and to me it looks like he knew exactly what he was doing. He’s a big miss for them and Alloa is a tough place to go. I’m probably being optimistic but not over yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we really need to see off Stranraer, that’ll be tough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) All the talk about Ayr and Shankland is useless unless we do what we haven't done this season yet and win away to a very decent Stranraer side. Regardless of what happens with Ayr if we win on Sat it goes down to the final day, that's all we can control.

SuperHans Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 It always baffles me how these small and simple gestures can make such a difference between the supporters and the club and yet it seems almost too easy for our club to do. Winning a game at home 2-0 and fans still booing really does highlight the importance of these gestures and getting the fans back on the clubs side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, I'd find it awkward as f**k if I got a phone call off any of our manager or players. There was an email that went out signed off from Benedictus thanking folk from the first batch of the early season tickets for buying. 10 minutes ago, CALDERON said: All the talk about Ayr and Shankland is useless unless we do what we haven't done this season yet and win away to a very decent Stranraer side.

All we can do is focus on ourselves and go for 6 points in our final games and then either come out with a league against the odds, or we go into the playoffs on a winning run. I understand why fans are trying to run through all the scenarios, but it's a bit more simple in that b y 5pm Saturday we'll either be out the picture or have shifted a tonne of pressure onto Ayr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 If I'm being honest, I think a phone call from Barry Smith would be better used as a threat of the consequence of not buying a season ticket rather than as a reward for buying one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Half a pie I bet he told his carer pal that analogy at the game and thought he was really smart. I see you've started another Early Bird sale after firing through all the cash from the first one? No worries, at least you know Rangers will quickly pay you a fair share for the Bates deal... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
