Paco Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Rovers linked with centre back David Syme, released today by Patrick Thistle. Aside from the fact we have about a billion players and don't even remotely need a centre back, I for one am absolutely gobsmacked to see he played at Kilmarnock under Gary Locke.

Michael W Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Didn't a Partick fan say we were looking at him about 20 pages back? Those Ayr and St.Mirren games will be great fun - let us know if it's the relegation playoffs or automatic relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Of all the players Gary Locke has signed, how many have (1) not played for him previously and (2) not come directly from Rangers, where his best pal is assistant manager? M'Voto, Lennox and McManus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I was looking at our fixtures yesterday and our last two matches are away to St Mirren and at home to Ayr.... Can't beat a final day relegation decider for 'shite your pants' excitement. Might even see that much vaunted protest materialising. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Barr - signed on a pre-contract by Ray McKinnon Kevin McHattie - played under Locke at Hearts and Kilmarnock Jean-Yves M'Voto - has stated he tried to sign him for Killie, origin of interest unknown Chris Johnston - Killie Declan McManus - signed from old team mate Steven Pressley Yaw Osei - who knows? Irrelevant with one first-team appearance, most likely a Craig Easton signing. Joel Coustrain - see above Andreas Thorsen - see above Scott Roberts - spotted when sniffing around Rangers u20's when unemployed for a few months last season, signed from his best pal Davie Weir. Jordan Thompson - see above. Ryan Hardie - similar to above. Connor Brennan - Killie Aaron Lennox - Locke has previously stated he spotted him playing against Rangers u20's last season playing for Aberdeen (or maybe he trained with Killie, not sure - there's a connection though). But fair enough, perhaps no nepotism on show here unless he's pals with Derek McInnes. Robbie Crawford - Rangers Rudi Skacel - old pal Ryan Stevenson - old pal Think that's everyone. Good record. Also, 16 new players when he inherited a squad of twelve. Crikey. What a fucking diddy he is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'Voto, Lennox and McManus? If you're being generous you could add Osei, Coustrain and Thorsen. If you're not then I'm sure Lennox trained with Killie and he also tried to sign M'Voto at Killie, so it would just be McManus really. John McGlynn had an unimaginative signing policy at times but we got all the benefits you'd expect from that with players he knew would fit in our system and do a job for us. Locke seems to have brought in players he's had before but worryingly has no idea how to get the best out of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) The fact that Locke is being allowed to potentially bring in another player shows that he's going nowhere and that is terrifying. I've just had a look at some of the upcoming fixtures and if we don't pick up a win in February, which is entirely possible, then I really worry for our position. Over the next couple of weeks it Dumbarton v St Mirren, Dumbarton v Ayr and Ayr v St Mirren not to mention our own trip to Somerset Park on 28th February. It is entirely plausible that by the end of next month we'll be sitting 9th. Then we have St Mirren home and Dumbarton away. I may be seen by some to be being negative here but I just cannot see where a win is going to come from based on the mistakes we continue to make and the tactics Locke has adopted. I always had this expectation that we our quality, which the team has if players are set up and used correctly, would come through and we'd simply stutter along to a 5/6th place finish. However after Saturday, and then looking at fixture for the next month, I am genuinely worried that we are going down.

Cannot understand his signing policy, why another defender in this lad Syme? Guess that will be another of his "not up to scratch" pals on the payroll ! Another two games without a win and he should do the decent thing, walk. Danny Lennon is Caretaker at Airdrie.....just sayin' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I thought Mark Wilson was manager of Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If true i cant believe he is being allowed to sign more players it just beggars belief. If we lose the next two games that will be 15 without a win there can be no gripes from anyone if he got the sack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 http://www.raithrovers.net/28492/david-syme-signing-confirmed.htm That's it confirmed. I've never seen the lad play before (or even heard of him) so I'll give him a chance. It seems he's more of a right back so wouldn't be surprised to see him in the side immediately due to Thomson's current performance/fitness issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Oh well, that's fucking brilliant that is. When the team inevitably collapses at the first opposition goal on Saturday, the fact that he's on the bench will keep my spirits alive.
