In the upcoming close season, we need to get the defence sorted. Thats a given. Lewis Stevenson has been joining the Rovers every pre season for the last 7 years......
Him and Hanlon I would agree though will certainly give us the experience and strength at the back we are lacking. Its the defence that have cost us the title this season. No two ways about it.After the playoffs (which unfortunately I don't think we will win - prem teams too strong and too much advantage), we need to be getting the business done with prioritisation and the defence is n.o 1.
The only player I would be scrambling to re-sign would be Matthews. He is the ideal engine room player. Not fancy but does the hard work. As for the rest, I'm ho hum. Easton last played at Tannadice. Since then I have no idea what has distracted him but he looks like a squad player, not even really an impact sub.
Dunno the full list of potential departures though so might be another one or two that would be handy to keep....Sam Stanton, ho hum? Lewis Vaughan, top scorer, ho hum?
You, sir, are ho hum

To be fair, if it wasn't for his gingerness, I might not have even rated him as high as a 6/10.
Heavy bias on display here.

I think (if we where in the championship next season) hanlon and Stevenson would be exactly what we need. Both experienced players who have won this league before and can definitely add something to the squad. Lewis is coaching at hibs I believe, which may mean it won't happen if they give him an extension, but we allowed berra to keep coaching at hearts while with us I think so never say never.
I think something that's often overlooked in the youth player development argument is how many of these young players actually come in to the team and actually make themselves undroppable. Bowie was the last one we've had who has really done that. I don't think we've really had that the type that could be knocking on the managers door for minutes with us rather than a loan deal since him. You could argue corr but again, while he's done fine when given the chance this season, he still hasn't looked a better option than brown there for me.
I actually think Hannah has all the attributes to be that one based on the limited viewing iv had of him, but it's hard to gauge considering I seen him a handful of times at most. He's one that could really learn from Lewis if he was to sign for us. I also think we will ultimately offer dick a new deal as well, which I'm fine with, if he's to be a backup option, but we really need to improve that area if we want to push on. Strapp is out of contract again soon and I think he would be a more than capable replacement there with the added bonus of his long throws not being against us next season.
Not convinced Strapp is that great at actually defending. The howitzer throw can be a killer but we need a better defender.

Easy to see why ICT have second best defensive record and we have one of the poorest. Our defence is all over the place.
We don't.
There are 5 teams with more goals against and 1 with the same number.
In other words, we've one of the best defensive records. Not good enough, but factually one of the best.

Easy win for ICT against the bottle throwing, bottle crashing, cartoon balloon tinks fae the Links.
Better late than never, here he is, STILL raging at the vast landscape between his mob and our boys in blue (or yellow, tonight).

Perhaps it’s complete ignorance on your part and the people who “greenied” your post but Craig Sibbald suffers from Alopecia Areata.
It has been well documented in the past by the player and the media.

I’m sure he would rather have a full head of hair but this condition has affected him most of his life.
This would be fine if he was shaving his head. He's not. He's gone for some sort of half a swimming cap option. And it's shit.

Who is Richard Cook and how many questions did he have?

I'm sure we'll follow the trajectory Ayr have this season if we stick with Murray. All the signs are there.
Give it a rest, for goodness' sake. We just finished clear 2nd and still with a shot at promotion that every other team in the league bar one would dearly love.
Given you were the one who branded the new owners "The village idiots", where did you expect us to finish under Murray's management?

I wouldn't call that patter tbh.
Patter is maybe something like: Starks on a Saturday, seen mair like in a Tramps summit.
What do you think?
I think you need to take a wee rest. You're trying your best but you're spent.

Ach it's just the way of crowds supporting wee teams. I mean look at you guys, and somilar sized clubs like Stenhousemuir, Burntisland Shipyards and so on.
Is this your best patter? You couldn't try even just a wee bit harder than this?

Only a pity for us that Utd didn't have to play someone half decent tonight, instead of this utter gang.

Based on what I’ve seen from McGill, and what I’ve seen so far from James Brown, I’d be starting the former at right back
I came here to say this too.
McGill was more effective in his limited time than Brown had been up to that point. A short time, granted, but he's not really let us down when called on, has he?

It's all over. We're playing "Dreaming" over the tannoy, without a hint of irony.

Brown has been a steady enough replacement for millen but neither are particularly good. With everyone fit dick and brown are the weak points in our squad. Before Brown it was millen and dick. I'd hope we can improve upon them for next season regardless of what league we're in. I actually thought yesterday was browns best game for us so far. I would not sign him permanently though. He just isn't good enough for a team that wants to be in the premiership but is a fine stop gap for now.
I thought Dick had a good game yesterday. Good in the air and some good forward distribution.

Well done by the club and importantly, the people who helped identify this arsehole.

Boy got booted in the face because he dragged Moult to the ground and stuck his face in the way of his boot. Clear as day to anyone paying attention. No doubt it was a sore one but entirely self inflicted.
And Dick spent the entire afternoon rolling around on the ground whenever anyone came within two feet of him. A shameless bell-end.
State of this. Erse.

For all their talk beforehand Raith looked absolutely rattled to a man and the play acting from them was abysmal.
United done everything right today, no messing about at the back with square passes, pressed from the front and took our chances.
Big step up from the last games against Raith and the way we should have played against them previously during the season.
Absolutely buzzing.
Happy with the penalty? No play acting there? Did everything right?
Wasn't confident before today and was less so when I saw our midfield.
Plenty life left yet though. Game is still on.

Unfortunately, this is entirely on Murray. Wrong set up and lineup from the start, they score and that's it game over. Unlike us, they can sit on a lead and grind it out.
We are not out of the title race but the title race is now out of our hands.
With 85 mins to play after 1st goal, it was hardly game over. Indeed we hit the bar shortly thereafter.
Agree though about lineup. Midfield left weakened without any of Byrne, Mathews or Brown.
Shame, but it's not over until it's over. Lose the game in hand and I'll be more despondent.

Thought they would bring more tbh.
Still, there's 20 minutes until kick off.
Not a single bite for either of you. Disappointed?

We're getting pumped 2-0 today. Rubbish performance and Watt sent off for diving after being booked for diving.
I dreamed Watt will get sent off today. Can't remember if it was for diving but I'm not fussy about the reason. He's a detestable mink.

I have no reason for expecting a United win, and for them to f*ck it up again shouldn’t be a surprise. On the other hand, I said before the Pars game that I’d a bad feeling and I was proven right (even more right than I expected), but this morning I feel United are gonna win
You're rivalling our own @TxRover with such forensic, scientific analysis.

Pipe doon. Wasn't clear to me you were referring to o.o.c. players only. A simple comms breakdown.
