Not in a back 4 he hasn’t

Who’s the experienced centre back? Watson? He’s an experienced right back that we are looking to convert into a centre back. Probably alongside Liam Dick who’s an experienced left back that we are having to convert into a centre back. Hardly great work with the season now a week away. (I’ll be happy to come back and laugh at this if we sign someone before next weekend)

And quite rightly so. The season starts next Saturday. Murray said himself he wanted his squad completed before the cup games started.

Yeah but those teams were probably in a better place than we are. We were literally left with no centre backs at all. The fact some of us are now content with Liam Dick being a first choice CH shows how bad things are. The simple truth is, unless we get at least one more in, we can kiss goodbye to a successful season.

It’s not really. It’s like saying the market is sparse for wingers, strikers or central midfielders. There’s plenty out there. I’m not hitting the panic button just yet as there’s still over a week to go but given we have a manager and a director of football (or whatever his title is) who’s job it is to sign players, going into the competitive stuff without a proper centre half isn’t good enough.

I think that’s somewhat the elephant in the room just now. If we made a huge loss every year with next to nothing of a behind the scenes team and a decaying stadium. I’m not sure where all the additional cash is coming from.

That’s what I’m wondering. I’d say, at a rough guess, under 12’s would make up about a fifth of our home support. As a comparison, Falkirk who are in a bad way, have sold 2,500 season tickets so far.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on season ticket sales so far and what would be a successful number of sales once the serious stuff starts? I’m probably in the minority of being a bit underwhelmed at the numbers so far given how many of them are now free, coupled with the significant improvements both on and off the park.

That’s a very good piece of work whoever made it

Twitter is going to be an interesting place to be over the next day or so…

I wouldn’t be surprised if you got your wish. Liam Dick is good for covering at centre half but I definitely wouldn’t want to be relying on him, Corr or Masson as a starter once the serious stuff starts. Although I’d also not be adverse to seeing us sign Patterson, I’d much rather see us bring in another proven CH before we sign a left back.

Some free kick from Gullan. Corr didn’t look too comfortable from those highlights. Looks like he struggled a bit.

Yeah you’re right, I should have perhaps quoted the OP about the section of the stands instead.

We’ve got folk sponsoring steps at Starks Park… that could easily be classed as ‘tinpot’.

I hope they can fit a booster seat onto them for Mickey

I’m currently in dialog with a Nigerian Prince who’s looking to send me some money so don’t really have time to be doing this for TX

Yeah you’ve told us three times now. About shipping… we know.

That’s what happens when you mix stupidity, alcohol and warm weather!

If you zoom in on the photo you can actually see the players name on the contract!

You need to lay off the lemons mate

So you’re saying Joma produced a brand new kit rather than just making more of one already in production? That doesn’t seem right?

Thought we’d re-signed Bobby Geddes for a second there!

Not really. You didn’t score a massive amount either so did your back line have to sit back a bit further to compensate?

96 or 97 i think. Im sure Alex Smith was a coach at the same time… some back room team that!

I’ll see your FFP being the main source of news from the Rovers and raise you ‘The Raith Line’… who remembers phoning up that number for all the latest news from Starks Park?
