Enigma Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 This Gary seems like an utter bell end, away and support your big team and take your patronising tripe with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Glen will be a poor signing unless Rovers can build a team around him, a la Kris Boyd. Some County fans rated him, I thought he was dreadful. Excellent finisher if the chance is presented to him, unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to create the chances himself. I'm not sure if he's lazy or has the self-awareness to acknowledge that he isn't suited to running about a lot and fashioning out chances. Not cut out for top flight football, maybe he'll do well in the Championship. Maybe a striking partner will work well for him? He looked semi-competent alongside Wohlfarth and Slew but he never regularly appeared alongside them, which is telling IMO.

We generally play good old 442, he'll be paired with Elliot mostly I guess who will probably work hard for him. If we sign the elusive attack minded creative midfielder and a good left winger then he might get the chances he needs (don't count on it). Is he good at getting himself in the right positions, a la Brian Graham? If he is he might not be a disaster. I still think we could do better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his three goals, two of them were brilliant poacher goals: right place at the right time. From memory, and other County posters may well have better memories than me, he was 50% good at getting in the right position, 50% being three or four yards away from where everyone wanted him to be. Unfortunately he's not big enough or strong enough to ever really trouble defenders, which is presumably why he couldn't cut it at County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 If we sign Glen and Spence then we absolutely must sign a 4th striker. Or get ready for our inevitable relegation, f**k me.

Scary Bear Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Didn't read beyond this shameful paragraph. 'Reality check. Most of your fans are also a fan of a bigger club first. Hence attendances being so low. Sorry fact but true. Celtic, hubs, hearts, rangers, Dundee utd...'Don't see anything inherently wrong with that guy's statement.We usually average somewhere around 1500-2000 fans. Yet somehow we managed to get 7,500 for a cup semi-final. I know several folk in Kirkcaldy that support another team - usually a Premiership team, but this season they will mainly be Championship teams - who occasionally go to the Rovers. Obviously not all those additional fans will have a big team, some of them will just be lapsed and part-time Rovers fans, but a fair few of them will support a different team. We're really just talking 'how many?' and the Rangers/Raith/Brora/Madrid/Man Utd (any more?) fan is possibly getting a bit carried away with his estimation of 'most', but who knows for sure. I was essentially a Motherwell fan without the bus fare back in the late '80s and went to the odd Rovers game when I wasn't playing football. I didn't start supporting the Rovers until about '92.

Cowden til i die Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yes but it's the 1500-2000 fans we are talking about here. Not the once every 10 year fans. To be fair it doesn't surprise me you agree with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I don't think everyone jumping in helped the situation but I don't know what kind of reception he was expecting with such an introduction and statement! I'd imagine there are a few Rovers' that follow bigger teams but not "most". It's not as if they can't get tickets for their "bigger" team these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but my lass is trying to indoctrinate me into supporting Leeds United. Been to a few games, but it doesn't do anything for me.

In fact he mentioned 'that's why attendances are so low', which would imply he didn't mean the usual 1500-2000. If he was meaning the 1500-2000 then he's wrong. If he was meaning the ones who turn up for the occasional big games, then he may have a point....still obsessed I see.
