Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 2 hours ago, Arab_R_us said: Mcabe has probably told him he's leaving and he's getting off the sinking ship May very well be the opposite. Fordyce was maybe expecting Rhys to be off this summer and he would go straight into the managers job, that’s obviously not happened so Fordyce either wants to take his chance somewhere else as a no. 1 or extend his time playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to think that if Rhys left for a bigger club he’d be taking Dycey as his assistant unless Dycey wanted a #1 spot for himself. So don’t see this as likely. And obviously he’d be starting in the defense every week for us if he stayed so again, I’m a little bit confused by his move. Still thinking there is either a rift or his next club got the cheque book out with a promise of future coach or player/assistant. We’ll see where he goes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thediamonddude Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I personally never really doubted that Rhys would be here until Christmas anyway, but it still can’t be understated just how big this news is. Even taking the progress we’ve made under him out of the equation - just for the consistency and encouraging as many of the guys already with us to go again, so we have a base to build from for the season. Genuinely think we’re in for a fun summer. Additionally on the Dycey stuff, it’s amazing how things grow arms and legs. Before that announcement yesterday, no one was talking about fallouts or pre-contracts yet here we are - he’s going to Raith, he’s the one that takes training, he’s fallen out with Rhys, the kiosk staff, and he doesn’t like the new kit - so he’s gotten out early. Honestly, no one has a Scooby and whilst he could conceivably still rock up at Raith, I think folk have added yesterday’s playoff result and our statement together and got Armageddon. I still think it’s far more likely that he wants to spread his own wings in terms of management, but let’s see. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might potentially be at least a couple of posters who frequent here who may know the accurate reason for his decision to leave given their involvement at the club, but for privacy and the done thing, understandably if they do then would not disclose it on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Are Red Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 So far then we're 7 players (?) down:- 5 loanees comprising Megwa, O'connor and Aiken to Hibs, Donnell to Fulham and Lyall to Rangers B, plus of course Gallagher and Fordyce. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we have made arrangements with parent clubs to extend loan in to next season or possibly made bids for them? Megwa at Hibs is isn’t looking bright for him since new Manager coming in and probably looking to make new signings. Defense needs changing after their Aberdeen score, possibly Megwa out of the running to get any kind of place there. Have to think Rhys will be looking to keep Lyall on a permanent basis too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Kilmarnock FC website: Quote May 22nd 2024 Derek McInnes on Warnock's Release: “Steven Warnock is a sore one for us, it was difficult to do, we tried to get him good loans last season but there wasn’t enough interest which was a surprise to myself and my staff. “He’s a brilliant boy, he’s been at the club a long time, he’s one that we’ve worked hard to try and find his next step for him, unfortunately for us and him it’s not going to be at Kilmarnock. “He is someone that we intend to stay in contact with and continue to help him, hopefully he goes and showcases the talent that he has at his next club.” Edited May 28 by Rhys McCabe Hype Train 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Hi folks, I am following up on the idea that I floated in various threads to write to local representatives to try and prevent the ban on artificial pitches in Scottish Premiership. If you read the Consultation paper, it is crystal clear that the ban is unfair and regressive - the recommendations for ensuring quality artificial pitches are sound. Numbers and momentum is everything, so please, please do email (if you have 5 minutes for reading nonsense on P&B you have 2 mins to send two emails!). I recommend sending two emails, one to your MSP and one to your councillor/council lead. I have created a draft email to copy and paste. I have also included instructions for who to email for rovers fans in Kirkcaldy (perhaps some kind soul could do similar for their own team in Airdrie/Falkirk/Dumfries/Hamilton/Cove respectively. I have left the Rovers version below as a template). I also have included how to find who to email. Thanks folks! EMAIL SUBJECT LINE: RE: Potential ban of artificial surfaces in the Scottish Premiership Dear NAME OF MSP/COUNCILLOR, Purpose of writing I am writing to raise concerns about the potential ban of artificial surfaces in the Scottish Premiership. There is a proposed vote taking place in the coming weeks. This vote will only be open to current Premiership clubs with the vote being for a blanket ban of artificial surfaces from season 2026/27. Facts of the case I would like to draw your attention to this joint statement provided by several clubs who presently have artificial surfaces (Raith Rovers, Falkirk, Queen of the South and Hamilton Academical), and especially to the detailed position paper which sets out a series of arguments and recommendations to allow artificial surfaces to continue to be used. The joint statement is here: https://www.raithrovers.net/artificial-pitch-statement; the consultation paper is here (created by the four aforementioned clubs alongside Airdrieonians and Cove Rangers): https://online.publuu.com/516411/1157872 Key points: Artificial surfaces are permitted at the very pinnacle of the game, being used in Champions League fixtures. There is therefore no good argument for banning them with regards to quality. Banning artificial surfaces would have a deleterious effect on sporting integrity and, most importantly, have a devastating impact on various clubs’ capacity to act as a sustainable community hub, providing a basis for boys, girls and women’s football to thrive. Request I would like to request: a) Public support of the consultation paper and to advocate that a ban on artificial pitches should not be permitted. b) That this issue is raised with appropriate senior ministers with the request to support the consultation paper and to advocate that a ban on artificial pitches should not be permitted. c) Raising the issue directly with the SPFL, the Scottish football governing body, to advocate that the consultation paper’s recommendations be accepted and a ban on artificial pitches should not be permitted. Yours Sincerely, YOUR FULL NAME: YOUR HOME ADDRESS: Find your MSP here: https://www.parliament.scot/msps; find your local councillor here: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors For Rovers fans in Kirkcaldy I recommend contacting a) David Torrance, MSP for Kirkcaldy here: David.Torrance.msp@parliament.scot and b) Cllr. David Ross, who is leader of Fife Council and represents Kirkcaldy North, here: cllr.david.ross@fife.gov.uk For Rovers fans, here is the link to Fife councillors: https://www.fife.gov.uk/kb/docs/articles/about-your-council2/politicians-and-committees/your-local-councillors/councillor; Edited May 28 by HIT THE CHANNEL 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
