LIVIFOREVER Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 1 hour ago, LiviLion said: I'm pretty sure the point he was making was that based on budget and size of club etc Rangers (throwing money about at everyone and anyone, playing in the knockout stages of Europe) should be destroying teams like Livingston (small budget, even smaller fanbase). I've forgot the full extent of the discussion though so might be wrong. I couldn't believe what Halkett said when he said it, and I still struggle to see why he thought it made sense other than to please the fans. Would still welcome him back home though, would be a good backup. Still is a lot of bollocks to come out with, we've already shown we're here on merit, and budget, size of club/support, has no bearing on what we can do on the pitch. Promotion to the Premiership, comfortably staying up, and have beaten every team bar Aberdeen since doing so. Even looking like a top 6 place in our 2nd season, so just why should Sevco be destroying us at Ibrox? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Even Holt is getting fed up with the 'we should just be trying to get 11th place on our budget' patter, don't mind us playing it down at the start of the season, but mon tae feck, who are we trying to still kid that we're not a lot better than 10th or 11th place, and aren't now looking at top 6 and maybe a European place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) The DR reporting that Motherwell are after Lamie on a PCA to get him for free in the Summer. He's a great utility player for us, but I doubt he'll want to stay if Motherwell are offering him more money and regular games. He's now 4th/5th choice CB, and has dropped to 2nd choice LB/LWB too.

Troy.1995 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Hes a decent player when on his game,but money talks.Just ask big Decs. Like you say L/F,could depend on our standing end of season.Interesting times ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Good move for him, if so. Looking at our options, he is now 4th/5th choice so would not begrudge him the move and more money. Good servant for the the last two seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Indeed; good luck to him. He's also done a fair bit of work for local charities but never crowed about it. Really nice guy despite the fact that he persists in being taller than me. Always put 100% in when paying for us - in particular I believe Christopher Jullien's will remember him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Honestly don't reckon Lamie is good enough for us, so can't be arsed if he goes tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothiangamer Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Would be happy enough if he stayed, but not too bothered if he goes, Better as a Centre Back and at times a bit woefull at left back. If he stays it would only be as cover anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoobahabba Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I like Lamie but as people have said, there are several others ahead of him in the pecking order for LB (he's never a fullback) and CB just now. Still a useful player to have in the squad. I would keep him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Wouldn't grudge Lamie the move...seems a hard working, honest professional as well as a pretty decent guy. As others have said, he may struggle to get into the team with the defensive cover we've got now. Can see Lithgow having the same troubles getting back into the team now as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I would prefer him to stay but, like other's, wouldn't begrudge him a move. Has been a really useful utility player and we don't know what's going to happen in the summer. Also really useful player to have if an opponent tries to bully us; certainly able to give as good as he gets. My only complaint could possibly be his acceleration speed but then again he is a pretty big guy. And let us all remember this is currently only "paper talk"; we don't even know whether any approach has been made yet let alone how he would view it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely statements like "he can easily be replaced" and there are "many in front of him in the pecking order", whether accurate or not, can hardly help with the player confidence. As far as I am concerned Rickie is still a Livi player until I hear something more concrete to the contrary. Maybe he will decide to leave although, currently, we really don't know who we'll have in the team come the summer. McMillan has consistently been in this positing for the past three seasons (I think) but still manages to get a start even if its not guaranteed every game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no time did I write anything saying he could easily be replaced, not sure where that’s came from and it’s general knowledge that there are players now in front of him, that’s not derogatory that’s just fact. Its my understanding he is keeping his options open and hasn’t signed a new deal with the club, all signs lead to one thing. Good luck to him.

LIVIFOREVER Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Actually good thing for us that he isn't a first choice starter, with us having a chance of competing with Motherwell for a European place this is exactly the sort of thing that could unsettle a player, the cynic in me is a bit suspicious of the timing of it all. Wonder if Aberdeen will also put it out there they're after one of our players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Lamie is a fine squad player and truthfully I’d much rather he was retained than Lithgow, given he can cover centre half and left back. Would be quite disappointed to see him go as he’s perfectly adequate at this level for most games. No doubt that Brown, Guthrie and Ambrose are better players, though, and he’d be on a far better wage at Motherwell than anything we would ever offer. Main priority’s got to be retaining Lawless; losing him would be a monumental blow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it was my reading of the statement: Quote I’m very confident we could replace Ricki with someone alike or better heading into next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
