🔴🟡Thistle vs Morton🔵⚪️ 16th March 2024
Broken Algorithms replied to R&Y99's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Very funny that some Morton fans act with such indignity when they're called direct, yet are acting like moving advertising boards is going against the Corinthian spirit of football.- 171 replies

Sorry to say it, but league 1 is footballing hell. You'll win games but teams come along on a near fortnightly basis and sit in trying to grind out results, often hitting on the counter leaving a dozen away fans celebrating like they've won the champions league. The novelty wears off very very quick. It's very easy to fall down and then struggle to figure out a way out.

We're playing with house money at the moment. All the pressure is on United given the outrageous sums they're chucking at players just now. Tomorrow will be a tough game but I'd expect it to go to the wire either way. -

If Chris Kane isn't fit, I'll happily get along to East End Park with a hose to help flood that pitch. Failing that, I'd be delighted if Dunfermline did us a favour.

The New Raith Rovers Thread

I think it's great for the club, and I don't think the logistics will be too difficult. It'll be more costly than a trip to Dunbar, but if we get promoted it wouldn't be the most outrageous thing. I suspect it's more on our side (funnily enough, Las Palmas seem quite keen to try to exploit the canary yellow link to Norwich) than the other, but there's definitely still really solid ties there given Paquito's reputation. Zero chance we'll get loanees in off the back of it. Brexit has put paid to that one. The clubs would need to figure out work permits for players who would be going on loan to a club who are probably at a similar level to a third or fourth tier club in Spain. It's a nice wee connection to have though - it's generated a wee bit of interest over there which will have been helped by us doing well. We've done really well from the back of it though - our neeburs along the road have had owners desperately trying to tie themselves into St Pauli over the last few seasons. Theirs comes across as forced, ours has been totally natural. -

That whole incident is a testament to how professional Ross Matthews is btw. Couldn't get a game, bided his time, won Murray's trust and put in a tremendous performance last night. He's like a new signing now he's back to full fitness. No toys out the pram, just a man who continues to give his all. -
The Falkirk FC Thread

It really wouldn't have been hard to improve on the hot mess you were before. With ourselves, it wasn't the contract length which was the issue - it was the substantial year on year increases to entice players in the door. Two of these players (Ross and Gullan) ended up being injury prone and failing to really offer value for money. That's not anyone's fault that it ended that way, but when you look at where it left us as a club it's McGlynn who put us in that position. You can also point to the Goodwillie debacle too. For me, Ian Murray has his faults but has done really well with John Potter and Allan Halliday to make sure we're identifying targets and getting them in on deals which, contrary to popular belief, aren't breaking the bank. McGlynn clearly has an eye for talent and some outstanding contacts. I don't think anyone can dispute that - but at the moment I think Murray has done better for us. Even in his first season he'd identified Scott Brown to go with Dylan Easton. Both of them have been exceptional. -
The Falkirk FC Thread

There's absolutely no chance anyone will offer Ross anything close to what he's on just now. The word I've heard is that we got Falkirk to cover his full wages as part of the loan. It wouldn't surprise me if the next step for him is Cove given he's from the Aberdeen area. It's a shame because everyone wanted for things to work out for him when he came back but he had recurring issues which meant that he couldn't very the consistency. He doesn't really fit into Ian Murray's ethos so it was always going to be more difficult. With that said, he's not been worth the financial expense. Of all the signings McGlynn made on those types of deals, Stanton was the only one who justified the ends - scoring in four of our five victories over Dunfermline this season means he's worth his weight in gold. -

Sam Stanton signed an extension just before Christmas, and Easton has been linked to the top flight although has been out of form recently. I'd like to think Easton would be likely to re-sign for us based on where we're at just now if he's not going to the top flight - it has all the feeling that he'll wait until the end of the season before a decision. Ethan Ross will likely be away. McGlynn signed him on one of his fabled multi year deals where the player received wage increases after every season. I've not really seen much to suggest he's even been an important figure for yourselves, and I don't think he's really what we need to move forwards. -
Walking Down The Halbeath Road
Broken Algorithms replied to Parscelona's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
It's a tough for people doing the job. Everyone thinks they'd go full Paxman with interviews but the reality is that if you go too far into the awkward questions, you end up with Brian Rice's awkward formations interview at Alloa. On the other side, nobody wants leading questions which are easy to answer. At this level, it's pretty much all volunteers too - it can be tough to find an interviewer who can handle the situation well. We're lucky at Rovers to have Davie Hancock who feels like someone who has a natural rapport with whoever he talks to. -
