I think we will regret it if RT moves on. Although he’s not been as good this season as we was last year, decent full backs are pretty hard to find.

I’m a wee bit disappointed that we’ve only sold just over 2k tickets for this. I thought this game might have been the catalyst for the stay away fans to come back but clearly not.

McGlynn was suspended after getting sent off last week, he spent the entire game in the stand directly behind the dugout, nothing strange about that.
Ahh fair play. For some reason I thought he was called up in front of the beaks and his suspension wouldn’t be until then!

According to the Arbroath commentary, Mcglynn didn’t leave the dugout at half time. Smudger also did the media stuff after the game. That’s a bit strange.

Look up Liam Dick on Transfermarkt and select by all competitions and by season…then you can see where he played, what he was playing and for how long. It isn’t perfect, but it’s pretty solid.
Well Tx looks like I need to apologise. I don’t think he’d go with Dick at CH but it appears I was wrong!

With us, CB vs Killie a few games ago…7 games at CB for Alloa last year…3 games at CB for Alloa in 19/20…6 games at CB for Alloa in 18/19…1 CB for The Sons and 3 RB for Stranraer in 17/18…that enough?
Well he didn’t play CB in either of the two recent games against Killie for us. Even when him and Mackie have both played and we had a back 5, Mackie has been the one playing CB, to the left of a 3. He got thrown in there briefly on Saturday but that was it.
Where are you getting the stats from that he played there 7 times for Alloa last season etc?

Yes, Mackie did…but over the years, Dick has spent time across the back that Mackie hasn’t, and his recent work at LB has been a wee bit disappointing.
When has Dick spent any time playing anywhere other than left back across the years? I’m all for stats but please don’t just make stuff up.

Can I also add, I don’t think I’ve seen a better save in front of the South Stand in my 30 years going to Rovers games.

Totally understand your frustration with the referee I would feel the same but you're all spending too much time focusing on the various card scenarios, look again at the two late goals, Chalmers was given too much time with that ball with not one challenge towards him till it was too late, again the second where he had less time to pull the trigger yet he is in the clear.
The fact you were down to ten men with minutes and 2-1 up clearly meant Raith should, to a man, have been just in front of your goal.
You’re right with that last paragraph. I’d also add that Bene needs to look at himself, a terribly unnecessary tackle after a terribly unnecessary attempted mazy run! It’s easy to highlight the referee’s mistakes… of which there were many, but if we have kept 11 on the park we would have won today.

If we want to toss out names…
Jim McInally…Peterhead are struggling in League One, and even so are punching above their weight. Might be interesting to see what he can do with a reasonable budget, and he might be tired enough of the struggle up there.
Ian Murray…Has worked under a tight budget and certainly out performed expectations.
Kevin Thompson…But would he be willing to leave Kelty, where he seems to have an ideal setup and a lot of funds.
Paul Hartley…But he’s about to be in the Championship anyway, with a team he’s built and rebuilt.
Dick Campbell…But it’s more likely he’ll be poached by a Premiership side soon, if Arbroath doesn’t become one.
How has Ian Murray outperformed expectations? Are Airdrie not one of only two full time teams in that league? Reaching the playoffs is hardly pulling up trees for them.

I genuinely hope you guys stay up. I love going to Dumfries for a game. Pubs are good and the locals are a sound bunch!

Surely £0 - given that Raith approached Clyde about taking him back. I assumed the idea was that Raith would find him a place to play his football to keep him sweet and therefore more likely to accept a reduced-terms payoff.
I would say that surely Clyde haven't committed to any wages or reduction in owed transfer fees to bring him back, because that would be extremely stupid, but the Clyde board/Phil Caplan/Glasgow branch have proven themselves to be among the stupidest people that have lived, ever.
I think if you believe this then you’re massively wrong. Why on earth would Raith want to keep him sweet and pay all his wages? He would have been more likely to accept a reduced pay off if we were blocking him from playing football ever again. He’s contracted with Raith until he’s 35 mind.

Did anyone who’s listened to the gaffers interview think he was a bit of a dick to the interviewer when asked about Varian going off at half time?
Just on Varian, what a half he had last night. I’ve been a huge critic of him but my god he didn’t half lead the line! He bullied Stokes from the start and had a perfectly good goal chalked off.
0 -
I assumed Varian was knackered given it’s his first start for a while.
Bene got MOTM, I thought he played well but what a class act Stanton is. I can’t wait to get Spencer in beside him.

I think we need to get away from the whole ‘I don’t want to contribute to DGW’s wages’ stuff. The reality is that if you’ve put any sort of money into the clubs coffers in the last year then you probably will have contributed to his wages in some way, like it or not.
Continuing to go to games and put your hand in your pocket will only help to strengthen the club once we get out of this mess. The alternative is far worse.

I was at Windmill yesterday and there was a Raith girls u18 team playing in Raith shirts. I assume it was only one of the ladies teams that jumped ship and not all of them.

Does David Goodwillie go back to Clyde or is that his career over now? Why was it deemed okay for him to play for Clyde but not Raith Rovers? (Sorry I'm a bit late to this story)
See if you ever manage to get an answer on this, could you let us know please?

It is all fine and well saying they will look to rebalance the board, my assumption here is that to be on the board you will likely need to invest? So not only do they need to find someone willing to give their time but also a sum of money to club who aren't having their finest moment.
And presumably have experience in running a decent sized business. Like you said, these sorts don’t exactly grown on trees.
One of the most annoying things about this whole episode is that the current board have done wonders through very difficult times recently in growing the club and running things very well. One stupid decision has brought the house down.

No they said it could remain until the end of the season.
In that case it’s pretty bad then!

Perhaps TAG asked to have their name removed immediately. We can’t get new strips so we had to cover them up with a patch?

Pretty disappointed at this. I’m not saying Mcglynn doesn’t have questions to answer however the first person in front of the cameras should have been Sim. Perhaps it’s indicative of his leadership that he’s throwing someone else in front of the bus.

I would much prefer that the club finished as high up the table as possible. I will admit the events of the last 10 days have gotten me to a point where I am bothered more about what might have been rather than our last two results, which I really wasn't arsed about. It is the opportunity blown 1) by bad form and 2) by the decision to sign Goodwillie that has me wondering what could've been instead. We had a wonderful opportunity this season and have blown it spectacularly.
Saying that, I want the club to finish as high as possible. That £200k hole in our accounts needs to fill itself somehow and there is £125k gap between 4th and 5th. There is an additional £150k gap between 4th and 2nd as well, but I can't see us finishing above Partick or Killie.
As to where I'm at currently, I can't even be arsed streaming the Celtic game on hesgoal, such is my enthusiasm for us at the moment.
You should probably be wearing black for a few week too by the sounds of thihgs.
