Bit slow but there was a player there and he tried. Brough was decent and tbh I thought he’d maybe be kept but he got tarred with the same brush as the rest of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great five a side type player but never a professional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he was the Head of the Benni’s Big Banter Boys fraternity at St Andrews Uni when Prince William was there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 8 hours ago, PedroMoutinho said: Agree with that but equally not many (if any) other clubs are going to have nearly 4000 STs sold. The cautious approach is correct but also don’t think there’s any reason we shouldn’t be competitive next season. We have faced teams in the championship before with far more resources and finished above them. I can’t see Raith or anyone else having budgets anywhere near what Rangers, Hibs or DU had so we shouldn’t be running scared. I do think it will be a tight league and there won’t be a big gap between 4th and 9th. We have the basis of a really good squad but still feel 2/3 quality players improving on what we had last season will be needed to compete at the top end. A sensible approach to budgets will be needed but equally there is a bit of self-fulfilling prophecy of budgeting for 8th and finishing 8th, as it leads to lower prize money and STs for next season. Clearly the FSS numbers have not increased as much as hoped but fans have shown huge backing in other ways, which needs to be harnessed. Being competitive depends on how many invincible's cut it in a higher league. Our new signings, Oppositions new signings and how long the unknown factor lasts in the league. We will know after the first quarter. Hope Adams cuts it at right back freeing up Yeats for midfield. That would be a big bonus leaving GK - CB hopefully Tait CF made up most likely of 2 signings and 2 loans incoming. For the first time in 5 years we are shopping in an up market shop. Going to be an interesting month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkbairn23 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I mind Benni Smales Braithwait being pretty shite vs Killie in his trial. Did he not come of the bench or am I misremembering? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBairn Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 17 hours ago, bairn88 said: Agreed with that. Prize money alone coupled with a very speculative owner means we’re operating in different markets this summer. I’d be very happy with mid table and a cup run this season. I’d be happy with 4th, getting out of Premier Cup group stage for around £60K, a challenge cup win for £100K, and a Scottish Cup run. Need to build a warchest for the inevitable grass pitch which needs laid. Maybe another two Killers gigs at the stadium would help too before we rip up the astro. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 I don’t really get our fans saying Hanlon wouldn’t get into our team. Of course he would. Raith are in a completely different position to us and unfortunately for us we won’t be shopping in the same market as Raith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
