Wasn't there talk of a memorial area at some point after the takeover talks or am I imagining that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's never been a time where fans are more understanding of why players would want to move to a new employer to get a wage rise. If you're getting upset about that, you're either incredibly well off, or you're younger and living at home with your folks (which, there's absolutely f**k all wrong with). Most folk here are old enough to realise that for a player from outside of the local area aren't liable to give a f**k. There's even been a Rovers fan who played for the Pars youth set up over the last few years because it was the best option available. You don't need to self censor either.

I’m thinking the same unless they’re in a bit of financial trouble because of where they finished 2 less games against the OF might’ve had a reduced budget? And he was in their range we don’t really know until it’s confirmed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Fair play, I did enjoy the fact someone suggested they would turn down the opportunity to sign a current Scotland international in Kevin Nisbet, because he wore a black and white t-shirt for a wee while 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can absolutely have a Raith Rovers where the squad is made up of players who only want to play for the club, but I've gotta warn you, it's me and you playing centre half together. I got Left Back…it won’t be pretty, but I’m a fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not PSG or Man City. We're not even St Johnstone or Ross County. We're a provincial Scottish 2nd tier team with a modest following. Recent changes at the club certainly make us a more attractive proposition than we were - the novelty of being able to get a hot shower after a game etc - but such considerations come after the money situation is understood. It's Maslow's hierarchy of needs, boys. Food and shelter 1st, then employment and security. Coming to us is an employment proposition. Wanting to play for the badge is some way down the list. I agreed with you reluctantly tbf. But Ross County , yes they’re better. But no way are they bigger. They’re literally a Village team in an actual Village. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a few good/important goals in his time. He wasn't terribly liked though, despite that I'm glad he's gone on to do well in his career, he was evidently a hard worker which has maybe made up for other areas in which he lacks. Edit - You also have Smith and Ross, I don't think there's much of a shock that two full time clubs in close geographical proximity will have some crossover in players.

It's the same with most clubs he's been at up here. He's an average player at this level. I honestly think folk get an idea in their heads and struggle to get it go. I've got a bit of a soft spot for players in that situation - last season when we got our third against Motherwell he absolutely leathered it from the half way line to celebrate in front of the South stand when all the others were chasing Isma. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Scottish Football (hell, any football) is a lot like the fun fairs that travel around, setting up here and there for a weekend at a time. The players end up in all kinds or places at various times, just trying to make a living doing something THEY love, playing the game, not playing for this team or that. Yea, there are a few players who are dying to play for X or Y, but you dump a contract in front of them that’ll pay the bills and let them play another year or two… Edited July 17, 2023 by TxRover 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
