Rover the Moon Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Vaughan desperately needs games to get him over the physical and mental side of his injury. Clearly hasn't been at it in the matches he's played this season but Locke did seem to rate him as he was first choice In July/August so he has a future here. Crazy decision to send him to a rival club though.Big pressure on Locke (and his signings) to turn things round as this has the potential to be a complete clusterfuck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Raith Rovers. We thought it best to let Morton have a stab at the playoffs this year after we completely bottled them last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The reason for Vaughan's loan move is exactly what everyone would expect. He started the season well but as you would expect has hit a bit of a dip in form, so instead of playing 10-15 mins here or there for us. He's sending him out to get 90 mins of first team football a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Whilst I agree his form had dipped, when was the last time he started a game? This would be understandable if his replacements were on fire but we're scoring and creating very little. He was definitely due another shot in the first team ahead of McManus and old man Skacel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two goals in umpteen games and us barely laying a glove on anyone we play would imply otherwise. 2) we hadn't loaned him out to a direct rival 4 points behind us with, as already mentioned, our fucking stinking form. 3) Rather than give him another shot in front of our misfiring forwards, he punts him out and replaces him with a past it ex Jambo pal of Lockes.

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Honestly one of the most baffling, hilarious and crazy deals I've ever seen. All for Ryan fucking Stevenson as well; holy shit! Best part of this story is that Raith tried to dress it up as "Great News!" on Twitter. The Rovers have been a disaster with social media and their website this season but they have undoubtedly peaked with this nonsense. We all take digs at each other but I almost feel bad with this one. It's almost corruption and pure sabotage from Locke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcrover Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 In a comment on the match thread from Monday I mentioned that Vaughan, Matthews and Osei were all in the stand in favour of Scott Roberts, the number 66 and Skacel. 1 gone 2 to go? Could do with a goalscorer mind......John Robertson anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowdenConvert Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Not sure what the outrage is about... A part time team could never finish above a full time team in this league Dumbarton could never finish above Raith Dumbarton haven't finished above Raith for half the seasons they've been in this league Raith couldn't flirt with relegation I thought our manager was a clown 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I just keep coming back to the conclusion that Locke is a complete fucknugget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I have to say, the general hysteria shown here is similar to that shown when Locke was appointed manager.Vaughan wasn't getting a game for us and I didn't exactly see our fans going nuts about that. If he gets a few games and goals at Dumbarton then good enough.The main bone of contention seems to be that we've 'swapped' him for Stevenson. All I really know about Stevenson is he played for Hearts and Ayr and he has a lot of tattoos. He could be a complete flop for us or he could be effective. If he's a complete flop he can be this season's Daly, Robertson or the likes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) You just know Stevensons' going to score from 30 yards on Saturday, he'll be a hero & Locke will be a visionary genius. The over-reaction from Raith fans on here is rivalled only by Pars roasters on .net. As I was typing Scarybear beat me to it.
