Greig Spence aside, who?

Jamieson is the only other player we have signed that has been released from his previous club and he was at Hamilton.

 

Mark Whatley released by Raith as not good enough, Ryan McCord for being fat, slow and not good enough, Finn Graham released by Dunfermline for not being good enough and Jason Thomson albeit a great servant but nowhere near the player he was a few seasons ago.  None of these players will be anywhere near good enough for the Championship.

Finn Graham doesn’t even live in the country anymore champ

Ryan McCord is fat, slow and unfit but is a good footballer and is fine at this level if his obvious limitations are accommodated within the team (i.e. have enough in there to counter his lack of running). 

Jason Thomson is similarly done at Championship level but is good at this level. Spence is really a "never was" in the Championship but had been excellent at this level when under competent management. 

You don't need players that excel in the Championship to get out this league; you need players that perform  well on a consistent basis. We have players who are shit on a consistent basis and/or are the utter dregs of full time football who, at least some of the time,  think being FT means we can doss this league.

Mark Whatley? [emoji23] A lot has changed since Raith released Mark Whatley.

 

Ryan McCord is a great part time player, as is Jason Thomson who is clearly the best part time (or full time) RB in the league.

 

You said we never had the strongest of part time squads, you're talking shite. As far as part time squads go there isn't many better, aside from arguably Alloa.

 

Our squads better than yours.

I never said you weren't better than our squad, but please don't think that your squad is good, our side is poor as I've already stated. McCord , Thomson, Linn, Whatley, Graham will all struggle in the Championship. You've won the league but will be strong favourites for relegation next season regardless of new PT players being signed.

Our squad is good. We are a part time football club, our squad is excellent for the level we are at.

Of course it would be favourite for relegation from the championship, in the same way one of the best squads you've had in recent times (season you finished 4th in championship) would be favourites for relegation if you ever got promoted to the Prem. You'd still class that as a good Raith squad though.

Finn Graham made about 3 appearances for us and is currently on the other side of the globe. No idea why you're talking about him

That's how bad it is Ryan McCord is utter shit enjoy the moment you guys will get relegated after one season. You can't go full time so chances off staying upon are slim so just enjoy the moment itsxthe biggest thing you've one in decades. Chances are it won't happen again.

Probably will get relegated after one season.

Don't see why we won't ever win League One again though, came close to winning it a couple of year ago and are close to winning it again.

McCord is clearly not 'utter shit', anyone with half a brain can see he is a great player at this level and could be at a higher level too if he had better fitness. Im still pretty sure he done really well for Alloa in the Championship before too..

I don't really get the East Fife hatred thing. I found myself wanting them to win against County the other day, not sure where the obsession or hatred comes from? Certainly isnt reciprocated. 

Little teams of no consequence need to be recognised. Unfortunately we don’t give a flying f**k

Jason Thomson was good enough. 16 points clear of a shite Raith squad proves it

Arbroath’s Part Time Team are a country mile better than our god forbid “full time” imposters
