RR #1 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 What are you all about? He can barely even run ffs. The fact he signed for Forfar says it all. Two year contract too haha. Rather them than us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yeah, not overly disappointed with that. While he'll undoubtedly do a job for Forfar, he's already 35 and he's not getting any younger. We should be aiming higher for first choice defenders, especially at this stage of the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is true. No doubt he steadied the defence, but worth noting his actual minutes on the pitch were limited and for me, his primary positive effect seemed to have been to allow Benedictus to regain some confidence. Also worth noting that while there are not too many forwards of Goodwillie's on field capabilities in league 1, the championship is a far sterner test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately its probably likely to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davidson & Benedictus wouldn't be the worst CH pairing in the league IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Quote We are incredulous to have received a Notice of Complaint from the SFA in the circumstances. It is oppressive of them to require submissions from both clubs by 20 July when we are, in terms of their own articles of association, actively engaged in arbitration. As our focus must be squarely on that, we have already requested the SFA to review the timing to allow us to be properly prepared and represented. That is the very least we should expect from the process. https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/news/article/joint-club-statement-1-2-3-4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher brash Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Think Anderson being 35 year old and missed most of the loan period due to injury is hardly a great loss , we can hardly be signing 35 year olds considering the resources we have and it speaks volumes that he’s signed for Forfar to much of a gamble for the Rovers and who’s to say we actually offered him a contract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I think we'll be surprised by some of the options available if clubs are running smaller clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I appreciate I’m splitting hairs here, but Anderson isn’t 35 until December, although he looks about 48. Agree with others in that I’m not gutted that he isn’t coming back, however, in the 12 games he played for us last season, we won nine and drew three, which is a pretty good record. Funnily enough, the only game he didn’t play when he was available was up at Peterhead when we lost 2-0 and we were absolutely dreadful. He definitely added leadership and solidity and made us a better side, but whether that’s enough to justify a new deal in the league above (hopefully) for a guy in his mid thirties, I’m not sure. Good luck to him though, I was a big fan of him during his time here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Robbie Neilson said on Sportsound on Saturday that Hearts made no contact to sign Nisbet.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/kevin-nisbet-turned-down-flattering-offer-hearts-seal-hibs-switch-2912489%3famp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was Hearts' sporting director, that Mrs Budge said was an essential appointment prior to appointing a head coach / manager, who approached Nisbet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kev confirmed this was technically true as it didn't get any further than a conversation with his agent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaithRover123 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 There will surely be a decent number of i options instead of Anderson and McGlynn probably has someone lined up let’s be honest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Wow! So many Anderson dissenters. Can't remember reading any doubters when he was with us, quite the opposite actually. Funny how signing for someone else makes a footballer lose his appeal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
