Really like the top. If the away one is white with navy pinstripes it’ll be a cracker!

Brown is missing from that line up.
They resubmitted the lineup with him in it. Macdonald, Spencer and Matthews missing from the squad though. Also thought we might have had Agnew on the bench too

Guessing it’s him rather than the one we had previously

Not sure if you are referring to me, but I’m certainly not a hard man and I wasn’t so much criticising the video. But it was strange that they had two lads on it that only months before said they wouldn’t be back. I’m mates with a guy that still refuses to go back even though he is missing it badly, full respect for that, it wouldn’t be me though. I don’t think I’m a purer fan than others, but if you back to some of the tweets by people who was in that video then see what they were saying then I would say that was weird behaviour by grown adults.
Just because people were upset by the clubs actions a few months ago doesn’t mean that they feel any less passionate about supporting them. You’d have been hard pressed to have found many fans who weren’t pissed off at the time. Some were just more vocal than others.

Superb bit of work. I’m sure they speak for all of us.

While there may be a few negative reviews from his former clubs, I’d like to think Ian Murray, being a former defender and playing at a good level, would be more than qualified to spot a good defender. I’m more than happy to trust his judgment on this one.
I’d go as far as to say Murray is probably more likely to start himself at centre half next season than Liam Dick. Failing that it’ll be Scott Brown filling in until we get someone else in the door.

In the nutmeg clip you can hear them shouting ‘Tony’ at the end… wonder who that could be?

I'd like to see another left back come in, but it doesn't really chime with Murray's "tight squad" ethos.
Murray did say that the squad would swell over the next few weeks to bigger than it’s ever been… or words to that effect.

I don’t think it’ll be Matthews that will go. If anything, he will be the captain. When Murray talks about hard working players, no one in that team works harder than Rossco.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see Zanatta go. Potentially someone might want to buy Ethan Ross but I doubt Murray would want to lose a player of his ability.

Off topic a little but just wanted to say a huge thanks to Stevie McDonald and the club for coming along to present trophy’s for my teams football presentation last night.
Stevie brought new boy Dylan Easton along to award the trophy’s and all of the kids were buzzing - they even kindly donated a signed shirt for our fundraising needs.
These are the wee things that the kids will remember and helps us to rebuild that community feel - especially after what went on earlier in the year.
The young generation are potentially the future of our club moving forward and a great way to get youngsters on side. Half the team are season ticket holders and were absolutely elated last night.
After all the kickings we’ve taken for a bit after the saga - just wanted to say thank you and appreciate them giving up their Friday night to pop along.
Just to add to that, I also saw the post online about the Raith U14’s winning a cup. A side featuring Kieron Bowie’s twin younger brothers. It’s so pleasing to see the community side of things starting to shine through again!

If you look at last season’s squad, apart from the youngsters we had three first team players, BRS, Keatings and McKay all loaned out that were deemed surplus to requirements. We also had Musonda who struggled to get a place in the team and was shoe horned into whatever position was available just to try and give him game time.
If our new squad doesn’t allow for these kind of surplus numbers of obvious first team players then we still won’t be in a bad place.

Where's this article about trimming the squad?
When you see the number of players we had on the books (29) there’s no wonder we need to reduce that. I wouldn’t panic at that headline, it doesn’t mean we are in trouble.

We'll never get a right back as good as Tumilty without gambling on released youth players I don't think. Not the most exciting suggestion, but got Jason Naismith got released by Killie and would definitely do a job
I remember thinking we would never get another Craig Wilson or another Jason Thomson, now it’s another Tumilty. These guys can all be replaced.

James Maxwell? Had a good season on loan at Ayr from Rangers and now a free agent.
He seemed to have a bit of a chip on his shoulder with us in the game at Starks. Scored two goals and made a point of giving the South Stand the ‘Get it up ye’ celebration both times.

We now have zanatta, connolly, Ross, Easton, stanton, matthews, arnott and spencer
That's 8 players who can fit in the middle/out wide or as an attacking midfielder 9 if you play gullan deep.
I don't think there will be a stronger attacking midfield in the league.
I think we have had the best midfield in the league for the past two seasons now. We just need someone up top!

The article is a hard one to read, we have been praised in the past for our treatment of injured players, or more the fact that we have paid for operations etc.
I can see why Mcglynn wanted him to train full time. We had just scrapped the hybrid model so he wasn’t going to want ‘anomalies’ otherwise he wouldn’t have changed the model in the first place.
On the other hand it makes our due diligence look almost non existent. Surely there was a discussion had in the signing process about training expectations. As a few people have mentioned, it now casts a bit of doubt over our ‘bad luck’ in the long term injury department.
I definitely think this new fresh start was needed, all things considered.

So is the hub just going to be a glorified portacabin?
I won't be buying a season ticket while Goodwillie is on the pay roll. I'm not saying I won't attend any games at all, but with the way everything is going I can find better uses for £280/300 than contributing to his wage right now.
Whether you buy one just now or wait until he’s been paid off, you’d still be contributing to his wages. Whether we like it or not, we all are!

It’s mad…
I’m a huge McGlynn fan and imo for good reason. At times he’s had us playing the best football in 20 years and deserves the respect from all true RR fans for that.
However the interviews from the new gaffer and the first signing of Dylan has me excited.
Maybe a change was needed after all? We’ll see but well done the BOD for what looks like some exciting attempts at us trying to kick on.
The summer signings will be key but it’s fairly obvious the new gaffer has a pied piper effect with players who know him.
Pretty much exactly how I see it too. Mcglynn laid solid foundations. We just need someone to come in and add a freshness to it. So far so good for IM

Planning to buy my first ST in around 9 seasons and buying the wee man his first ever.
Don’t do it. You’re setting yourself and your son up for a lifetime of misery!

I take it Raith TV and the press were warned not to mention David Goodwillie or the interview would be terminated?
I don’t think welcoming a new manager, the dawn of a new beginning etc etc is the right time to be asking about that tbf.

The club is making progress however while he’s still on the books and with Sim happy to make public his unwanted views on the matter, I always feel like there’s a car crash waiting round the corner. We need him gone before we can properly move on.

If he did get appointed assistant manager it would make the validity of the reference he supposedly gave us for Murray questionable to say the least...
Are you suggesting that our board aren’t good with corporate governance?

Nah, Aitken was.
There’s a name that I had completely forgotten about! I’m sure he was touted for us around the McKinnon/Locke years!

Watched the lotto draw online and noticed the club shop full of home tops. I phoned the club to ask if if they had a medium in stock to be told they are sold out are expecting a delivery later today. I asked roughly what time as I’d nip in and get one. The lady told me they hoped to get them in so they would be on sale at tonight’s game. I said that I had noticed them behind Tom Morgan in the video, only for the lady on the phone to get a bit embarrassed and say she didn’t know what the state of play was…
I don’t mind them wanting to give people at tonight’s match priority it they are upfront about it but to tell a fib is a bit out of order.
