  2. Surely there are better options available than Danny Swanson? If there's wages freed up and to be spent then get someone else other than that dayglo wearing f**k knuckle, with his stupid hair and ecky jaw. f**k off Swanson.

  3. Just said the same on Fantalk (our own forum). For Daly, he's got far more chance of getting first team football and exposure to other clubs elsewhere. Also, Mckinnon has worked with him before doing badges so they are familiar. I think credit has to go to McKinnon, this is the second time (after Craigen) where he's clearly gone out of his way to meet with a player to convince them to join ourselves.

  4. Scotland today news sport had a Hibs looking for a striker, then interview with McKinnon saying, they shook hands on Sunday and today a bigger rival club in the division came in with more money but Daly had said he shook hands on the deal with Raith. A rather honourable story in the footballing world of today.I'd guess the club in question was Hibs, strange as they have a fair quota of strikers.

  6. I'd actually agree with Moonster. McKinnon will want to do well on the basis that the role gives him a chance to showcase his skills. It's an excellent opportunity for him and so far he's winning over the fans with the product on the pitch and his honesty in interviews. I wouldn't go so far as to suggest he's got some sort of emotional bond to the club. What is clear that he's willing to go out his way to put the effort in to entice the best calibre of player he believes can help the club. It's worked with the likes of Daly and Craigen and it's a massive boost for us as a club. Regardless, I'm loving the optimism around the club. Let's hope, as mentioned by ally gourley in the interview, the turnstiles start getting more people through them and we get a better atmosphere on match days.

  10. Alas, I was so wrong . I reckoned you had disappeared under your stone , realising how ridiculous your tales of woe were looking in the face of continuing good Queens form. I now get a sense of achievement in that I apparently curtailed your dark offerings for a few months at least . If these - and I know its early days - attractive QoS performances can be maintained then I feel you might begin to question your raison d'etre again and vanish . Lastly, you started the personal stuff, not me .

  12. “I come from an Irish background, I go over there for holidays. Aiden McGeady.

  13. Aiden McGeady had actually turned out for Scotland at youth level, but was unable to represent them further after he signed for Celtic. The club forbade any young player from turning out for their school side while the SFA at the time refused to select players who weren't affiliated to a schools team. Due to this impasse McGeady believed he would just concentrate on his club career until he was older but a phone call from ex Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner inviting him to an Irish youths get together changed all that. McCarthy's path to Ireland may have been less circulatory but it caused an even greater ill will amongst the tartan army. The story goes that he was overlooked for a Scotland under 17 squad in 2007 despite being watched by both Archie Knox and Ross Mathie who were overseers of the SFA youth system at the time. A few days later he was named in an Ireland under 17 squad for a match against Italy. Asked to why he wasn't named for Scotland Mathie responded by saying the player had been approached by Ireland several months previously and it would go against the grain to approach a youngster who had already given the green light to the idea of representing another nation. McCarthy was also interviewed back in 2007 where he stated that he just wanted to play international football and chose Ireland because they came in for him and Scotland didn't.

  17. This is, to a certain extent, baws. Most employees want their employer to succeed. It usually means better reward, and before the tattie bogles come on complaining about their place of work, I said usually. That said, most employees take pride in what they do and many take pride in who they work for. Not everyone is out for themselves and themselves alone in singular mercenary mode. I don't think McKinnon is a mercenary. I don't know him, but he's no Ian Black. I think he does indeed have the club's best interest at heart, and of course he will expect some reward if he can improve fortunes. On the way though his motivation and inspiration will come from job enrichment and enlargement. He will get satisfaction and pride from improving the club. He'll also get financial reward. I don't believe the latter is driving his actions and thoughts.

  20. McKinnon will be doing his best job, no doubt, but football fans need to realise that by and large players and managers are not in this game for the clubs they play for and manage. Ray's heart is in it but it's in it for Ray and not Raith.

  21. The one that always sticks in my mind is the first episode I ever watched. Naveed's brother dies so he's away for the funeral so Jack and Victor are running the shop. There customer service is second to none - Jack not even needing to ask customers if they'd like a bag and then Victor completing the shopping experience by running and opening the door for the customer. Then in comes a fella to buy a magazine called Big Cocks. There's two great lines - Victors "indeed I would not" when Jack asks if he'd like to open the door for him and then after the customer leaves Victor says "Dirty b*****d". Will never forget that scene. Need to start watching the box sets again.

  22. I might get a bit of shit for this but I don't think Ross has been up to much so far this season. Sare one that he's got a bad injury that'll keep him out for a while but it's not the end of the world for us.

  24. Nah I have to side Edgarus here. In the real world, unfortunate things happen to people meaning they can struggle from time to time. She called the company to let them know about the problem and offered a reasonable solution. Obviously they don’t have accept this solution, but to demand £500 for missing the payments is ludicrous. If there are charges for missed payments, these would be outlined in the terms and conditions and you couldn’t argue about them. There is no way however that they would be anywhere close to £250 per missed payment. I suppose it’s their right to reclaim the car as well, but it certainly wouldn’t be in their interest unless she was an unreliable customer, and two missed payments, that she got in contact with to resolve, does not constitute a unreliable customer. This actually happens all the time (although with a small percent of customers of course). As I said, in the real world people often face circumstances which can make things a struggle for a period of time. For some it could just be a month or two, or for some longer. Banks are usually fairly understanding about missed payments, if it's just one or two, and although would look less favourably upon regular missed payments, often give customers every chance to make up missed payments. Repossession is the very last resort and can take a long time.

  28. How well did Daly do last season? Not very well at all, is the answer. Whilst I will not dispute his past successes (top SPL goalscorer and did well initially at Rangers) he now looks to have become a bit of a carthorse. Given he won't come cheap, I'm not convinced he is worth a gamble. Rembember that standard of opposition he was against initially at Rangers too, and I think it may be fair ti say he has regressed somewhat. The thing is, Jon Daly is actually the type of striker that we could do with: strong, can hold it up, a threat from crosses. Basically, someone who offers us something different. In saying that, whilst he may be the right type of striker, I don't think his recent record marks him out as the correct one to sign.

  34. Whilst I'm not saying Wright is signing for you. I doubt he is to be perfectly honest. You don't ever notice his lack of pace in the top league or not very often, since his positioning and play protects him from it. Just because a player may be slightly slow, doesn't mean page exposes them if they're clever.

  35. He should be ignored. When he's ignored he usually goes away for a while. Only issue I have with your post is that we are not punching above our weight, we are pretty much where we should be in the grand scheme of things.

  41. Ooft !! My Facebook's gone mental with 'Rangers' fans declaring 'crush them all' etc. lol They should've pumped every team in every division whilst romping up the leagues but instead they decided to circle w**k whilst 30 odd million was spunked on shite players by a joke of a manager - now that 'Rangers' are doing what we were pointing and laughing at them for not doing all along they're suddenly the fucking clever ones. What a shower of dafties
