Crawford Baptie Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 John Hughes in Deadline News this morning.Meanwhile, Hughes believes he was in the frame for the Motherwell job but insists he is fully committed to hauling Raith Rovers away from relegation trouble.The former Falkirk, Hibs and Inverness Caley Thistle boss has admitted he was aware of interest from Fir Park as the Steelmen sought a successor to Mark McGhee before they handed the job to Stephen Robinson.Hughes, who has only been in charge of Rovers for five games, is said to have removed himself from the race for the post at the 11th hour.But he is adamant his focus has never wavered from the massive job he has in keeping Raith away from bottom spot in the Championship.He said: “I’m the manager of Raith Rovers, so I couldn’t speak to Motherwell.“The one thing I’ll say is I pride myself in my honesty and my loyalty – maybe that’s my weakness as well, maybe I should look after myself.“But I’m committed to Raith Rovers and I’ll be here to the end of the season.“I knew they [Motherwell] were interested but I’m 100 per cent focused on Raith Rovers.“All my focus is on working with these boys and getting the best out of them, and trying to get a win.” He's just keeping it out there that he's available at the end of the season. Not the same whoring in the media as he did with Falkirk. He shouldn't even be mentioning that in an interview when his team are on real danger of being relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Would expect the squad to meet up over the weekend,so potentially could miss the game against Queens unless there's agreement between Rovers/ player/ SFA that he can play on the Saturday and meet up with Scotland squad after Edited March 18, 2017 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I would assume Hardie will be missing under the 5 day rule but if it is a friendly the SFA might not enforce this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 When the OS announced that he had been selected for the squad, they didn't mention that he would miss any games, which they did last season when Hardie or Panayiotou were selected.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two players in the squad. As far as I know they are allowed to play on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Mariner Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 that was surely out of order Matthews being hit by what looked like a coin from the DUFC fans at the stramash towards the end got him on the head, the high vis jacket was busy watching the action and not the crowd and presumably saw hee haw neither did the linesman who was right beside him totally out of order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be too busy looking for the coin so we can boost the youth development fund. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 the club maybe fined by Eric's neeburs in Glasgow as we are resposible for what happens within the confines of the stadium. That's why you have cameras and police and high viz hingers on the dss want to come down and check them out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 More from Stevenson on the issues that led him to quit.https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/742769/former-hearts-star-ryan-stevenson-went-from-loving-the-beautiful-game-to-feeling-despair/ I can empathise with Ryan. I go through the same emotions when I attend Starks Park.“But after about 70 minutes I stood there and thought to myself ‘I just do not want to do this any more. I do not want to be here.'Anyway, good luck to Ryan for the future.Someday, a literary fan will write a book entitled Falling Out Of Love With Football. Can't be far off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Seriously hope they find the idiot who did it and they get banned. Utter shitebag behaviour of the highest order. Also, quite surprised not one United fan commented about it on the match thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Courier has an article on this tomorrow with statement from Drysdale and hopefully DUFC I agree, DUFC fans saying nothing on match thread, poor show. Sure some of them will have viewed the video on match highlights on website. More than one person knows who the coward who threw it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
