Classic mark of a manager that cant admit to a mistake. I often wonder where we'd be if they'd given Jack Ross the job instead of Locke. We'd have scored an Amazon series featuring lots of high quality booing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) All in the past now tho. That alloa game at the end was really frustrating, but ultimately we didn’t really deserve to win the league, it was only Ayr doing their very best to f**k it for themselves in the last few games that actually gave us a chance. Glad we are back up where I feel we belong now. Hopefully keep the nucleus of the team for whenever the new season starts up again. I’m sure John and Paul will be able to attract the type of players who will hopefully push us even further. Any players who aren’t with clubs right now just need to watch Bairdy’s interview to get a glimpse of what they could come in to if offered a deal. What a club.

McGuigan1978 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Smith signed Buchanan and Spence, despite Vaughan being the better of the 3 he shoehorned him into a woefully deficient midfield rather than drop one of his signings. Classic mark of a manager that cant admit to a mistake. I often wonder where we'd be if they'd given Jack Ross the job instead of Locke. Spence was dropped. He had 11 goals by January, was on a run of eight goals in 10 or 11 games and was then dropped for Furtado, and barely started a game after that. He ended the season with a record of a goal every 170 odd minutes, which is pretty decent. If anything, Spence was a wee bit hard done by. The midfield was a mess though. If we’d managed to keep hold of Callachan I think we’d have won the league fairly convincingly. John Herron wasn’t much of a replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Think the pivotal moments were 2 games for me failing to beat Brechin away when Ayr lost and getting pumped away to Forfar in our midweek game in hand a game I left 25 mins before the end total disgusting performance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was a dreadful performance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is an extended interview (53 minutes) we will also be putting it out as a podcast soon. Good interview. I enjoyed that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanElderRRFC Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The leagues bottom two sides met at Easter Road as Raith came from behind to claim a point which kept their survival hopes alive.Goals from Soren Andersen and Davie Kirkwood gave Rovers a midweek victory over Kilmarnock.Raith Rovers dealt a blow to Celtic’s title hopes after scoring a late equaliser at Stark’s Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Mad that although the game was 23 years ago and I didn't go, that I knew straight away Di Canio scored late on only for David Craig to equalise. Can still remember my grandad talking about how he missed the goal as he left when Di Canio scored. Why can I remember stuff like this, and yet frequently forget things that are actually important?

Midfield would have been less of a mess had we signed a centre back, played Robertson there instead and allowed Vaughan to play up top. The sale of Callachan and injury to Bene were the seeds of our failure to go up, however thanks to Ayr’s howling defending we were still given chances to win the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
