SirJimmyofNic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 4 minutes ago, Kuma Power said: Another silver lining is that we only have two league games in the next five weeks, both at home. That removes a lot of the urgency and gives a bit more time for Watson to get back to fitness; for Watson, Matthews and potentially Corr to get some game time in the Challenge Cup; and/or for us to get someone else in. Specially if we progress in the SC and draw one of the erse cheeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I don’t think it a case of us losing out on O’Reilly, I think it’s a case of us passing up on what he wanted. So far this season we’ve been excellent in terms of getting value for money and as defensive cover brought in mid season, O’Reilly represented that. In a window where there will be other options perhaps there are similar players available for less than O’Reilly was after, or for slightly more than O’Reilly was after there might be much better players. I‘m certain Potter, Murray, Barrowman et all have weighed up the options here and if this is what they deem best, I’m willing to say it probably is. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Probably a return of the 3 at the back, Dick, Brown and another depending on whos fit. The issue will be who plays as wing backs and how we close the gaps. Just hope Matthews is fit enough to be starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossgatesCynic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Disappointed to lose O'Reilly, as much due to timing & circumstance as anything else. He's a cracking player, who did incredibly well during his short spell with the club. Bottom line is, if anyone - Partick in this case - are offering him terms well over & above what we were, fair fucks to the guy. Don't think Murray/the board should hold the can on this one. Yes it makes Rovers a weaker squad but there's an entire month to operate here & potential to use that money more wisely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC_Liam Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Tbf I’m going down the path of did Murray really want to keep O’Reilly? if he did then something would’ve been sorted also mind he dropped the guy for a few games as well for Scott brown (a midfielder) I think Murray/Potter and Barrowman have something lined up or potentially looking at 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously can’t look too much into that, is he more just happy that the stage you’re at, you’d turn down a decent Premiership footballer, or if it because it’s nonsense. FWIW, I was told we were interested in taking Halliday on loan last Friday before that Transfer Scotland page started linking him with clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see Easton going in this window but I do think he’s off in the summer, I think it’ll be one of A Full back, A CM (hopefully turner from County) and winger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossgatesCynic Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Andy Halliday would be such a bad signing, for so many reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Makes sense why he chucked one in against them now... In all seriousness though, he did decent for us but he's not irreplaceable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Was just going over the David Danskin story again.

mrraith71 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 1 hour ago, basher brash said: He was no where near on Rovers radar at the start of the season , I would rather the board stuck to their guns and not be held to ransom regarding a player who was only signed as a stop gap lessons have obviously been learnt regarding previous ludicrous players contracts ie Ethan Ross , James Keatings . Murray imo did a great job in recruitment during the summer so I totally trust him and the rest of the back room staff if the courier is correct we only thought he was worth a 6 month contract anyway so Murray didn’t rate him that highly. If O Reilly is that good why was he without a club for 6 months why did Thistle not sign him in the summer ? He was in at thistle in the summer and they dinnae fancy him.

There's absolutely no chance we're going to give away one of our players of the season as leverage. Byrne is on loan for the rest of the season and Ashcroft is an alternative option on loan too.

Tbf I think it’s surprising you’re looking at him as well (if your rumours are true) I’d thought it be certain you lot will be looking for a CH or 2 and a Wing backs because of your horrendous injury record at the back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. What are Dundee going to say? Give us Easton in exchange for Byrne. We say no chance and they recall Byrne to through the toys out the pram. That’s all fine, they continue to pay a wage for a player they have no need for and we continue to pay a player who starts every week. I know exactly who is in the driving seat with this and it certainly isn’t Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I’d be interested to know, if you asked Murray the same question now, if he would still say a pacey winger was top of his shopping list. I’d take a guess that it won’t be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
