Not what all the sites say , to be honest I was surprised that he only signed a 18 month contract, but then again you’re probably right , as it would’ve been pretty daft to pay Queen’s Park for him to only sign for 18 months , but I heard last night both Dundee and United were in for him , and he’s signed for Dundee and will be announced tomorrow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Could well be that Dundee have paid a fee for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperellon Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Beaten convincingly by the better side over two legs but why does Simon Murray have to be such a cock during the game with his niggly fouls and constant griping at players and the ref. He could be even better if he put his focus into his own performance rather than constantly having a go at others. His second goal proved how good he is. Cowie has turned the Staggies around. Good luck next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of jeapordy with only 1 automatic relegation place is a disgrace, and clubs like Motherwell, Kilmarnock, St Mirren and St Johnstone have been riding the gravy train for free for decades. I dont see Ayr, Morton, Hamilton, QoS, Airdrie, Livingston, Raith getting promoted ever again tbh. Unless you have a miracle like Livingston 5 or 6 years ago, or a Roy McGregor type sugar daddy it's impossible to compete financially. And you don't sound jealous in the slightest. It's up to those currently in the Championship to improve and/or attract investment, not the top flight to roll over and reward failure by promoting a team who couldn't win a league, which, from recent experience, is a very poor standard. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he left us, I was told at the time we offered him another year, Dundee offered two, but County went in with three which is what made it quite an easy decision for him.

Which would be about right. Dundee could well have offered a fee, or County agreed to let him go. It’d be a family thing if so, and fair enough if that’s the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy4life Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 It was confirmed in the RSJ from the club a couple months ago who we had out of contract and Murray wasn't one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete the Jakey Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 That was a stroll, with a gulf in class between the sides. County we’re bigger and more organised at back, dominant in midfield and clinical up front. Ironically Raith were better today than Thursday despite getting scudded 4-0. They were pretty wasteful up front - when you get chances against superior opposition you need to take them. There really should be a play-off winners trophy, would justify the pitch invasion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched the news showing an EFL playoff trophy and my immediate reaction was "what?! " Raith manage to make the County pitch invasion look more than reasonable considering their fans invaded the pitch in the semis. #minter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna disagree on that, ideally 9th/11th place teams won't be in a playoff, they'd just get relegated, same for teams in 4th place, mid table. Two legged game between 2nd and 3rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
