I’d probably say the same about a Falkirk or Dunfermline and theyre both bigger than Raith. I don’t get the thinking Raith have this alleged pulling power. When Murray went, absolutely. They were a league up. Now, meh. But obviously I might be wrong. So be it if so. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 23 minutes ago, Wardy said: I don’t know. You’re only as good as your next game, especially in this league. Airdrie of course have had a great start this season, but things can change very quickly. We are a very obvious example. It wasn’t too long ago Murray was in contention with the bookies for the Hibs job. Agree that football can change quickly, however that's why I think Airdrie is a better bet for him just now as he has much more margin for error. Another top half finish and some more media hype about playing nice football and I think he'd get a bigger job than Raith quite easily. Whereas on paper the only way he can improve Raith is to win promotion given they finished 2nd and lost in the play-off final. Finishing in the top half with us looks far more likely than him going into Raith just now and taking them up. That plus the other issues like lack of coaching badges, compensation and his fall-out with Fordyce means I think it's very unlikely, although certainly not impossible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 3 hours ago, Raithie said: Got to wonder how the likes of Stanton, Easton and co are feeling when Murray was instrumental in their decision to stay. Easton spoke to Dunfermline towards the end of last season but we unsurprisingly didn’t meet coin demands. Maybe we can get him on the cheap now as he’ll be looking for a way out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I think in the longer term McCabe would have more chance of success with us than Airdrie, but I reckon the squad he has at Airdrie are far more suited to the type of football he is playing than the Rovers squad, so this season he'd probably be writing off as a transitional season. In any case, his next move will be to a premier league team. Probably Hibs (assuming Murray doesn't get that job ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few of our players who either need a kick up the backside or moved on based on their performances in 2024. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Is this what happens when you give players a bit of 'security'. Airdrie fans criticise for only offering one year deals, to me this is the flip side to that argument, Dylan Easton who I had the privilege of watching for a season in L1 is and always will be a diva, Murray could always get a tune out him, to me Championship level is at a push his level, the media will do what they do and blow smoke up his arse which hasn't helped the lad, Connolly was Raiths best player yesterday a constant pest and did what Dylan should be doing, the way Murray acted when Hamilton pulled up was totally irresponsible, but did Murray think Hamilton was swinging the lead that's why he forced him back on, all leads to trouble brewing behind the scenes.... Do Raith have a successor in mind, surely they do... Finally if Raith carry out the right approach, meet compensation requirements and agree favourable terms Rhys McCabe will be the next Raith Rovers manager that I have no doubt, timing isn't perfect in life. Airdrie know he will go within the next 12 months, interesting few days ahead... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an actual thing? I mean Imrie shitting himself at school. White chinos are a risky choice for anyone not wanting to look like an extra from Miami Vice but especially so for someone with a ‘shitting themselves’ history. Please tell me this is true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R12ATH Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 (edited) Well this isnt the start of the season we all thought... here was me thinking we would bring some players in to build on last season and get us competing at top of league again.. not the manager being fired after one game. His post match interview was a weird one.. felt like he was taking a swipe at player recruitment, the physio, the fitness coach, the players and everyone bar himself. Thanks for last season though, it was a fun ride while it lasted. Edited August 4 by R12ATH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond8 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I can’t see it being McCabe for a number of reasons. First one being that he has full control at Airdrie, he won’t get that anywhere else. The next glaring issue he would see is the age of the squad yous have assembled. Then there’s the messy fall out with Fordyce. I also think our squad isn’t that far behind yours but again is that down to us having a superior manager that can get the most out of players rather than Murray? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said Airdrie end didn't look particularly busy. Shite catering as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
