Raith_Raver Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The lunacy of Fandabydozie and Leech is that the Val McD stand is completely empty of fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank conner Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 There was no social distancing in the corner of the main stand for the Derby about 30 folk all sitting together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it being that many but it seems daft that fans are expected to social distance but press,directors don't have to. Then again the whole situation is a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 There's Keatings (and Coulson) confirmed on loan until the end of the season. A real pain that Keatings hasn't worked out. One way or another that's a two year deal's worth of wages in return for about 20 minutes of league football. I'm sure we'll end up negotiating his release in the close season, but unless he really picks up at Montrose he's not going to have a long list of decent suitors, and he's not going to be particularly motivated to walk away from his final full-time salary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Maybe I'm reading to much into it but does the bottom of that article suggest we might not be done transfer wise? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a generic statement, its been like that for a few years. The club will only wait until all paperwork is confirmed. Other clubs like to announce players before the signature is even dry then go on to say "subject to paperwork being cleared" or similar. I am sure we have been bitten before with announcing players but paperwork failing. I cant remember but maybe someone else can? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I'm amazed Montrose have extended that deal, but not complaining. Pleased with the arrangements for the Arbroath game. They've addressed the issues with the staggered entry and given priority to those who missed the derby. Fair play to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 1 hour ago, SirJimmyofNic said: More likely to be others going out on loan Definitely agree that Mitchell and either Arnott or BRS will likely end up out on loan. Mitchell is unlikely to get time now, and keeping both Arnott and BRS would seem surplus to requirements. BRS might welcome a chance to play in League One to up his stock…Arnott looks preferred to BRS now, so is perhaps less likely to go on loan, but might be a great player to get some real time in League One. I’d only expect one to get a loan though. Would also love to see Young get some time somewhere, but I expect that JMcG likes to keep the young lads here the first year on their contracts before considering loans. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Mahady go back out, if a team could be found where he can get more playing time. Mahady didn’t show much at Cowden, but he never really got a chance (but even so, scored once). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Logical that he's staying if somewhat surprising. He's fourth choice here and that would be putting him ahead of Kieran Mitchell marginally in a team where we tend to only use one forward. At least at Montrose he'll be coming off the bench from time to time with a view of trying to work his way into a squad. At 29, he's not exactly got a decade left at a decent level. 2 hours ago, Raithie said: Maybe I'm reading to much into it but does the bottom of that article suggest we might not be done transfer wise? They added the same statement after signing Gullan. It might just be a wee warning. I think I said it on here before, there were photos of Williamson doing the rounds in training gear and a Rovers top days before he signed. As others have said, the club have been hit before with McManus. That one was rather hilarious considering how far we kicked on with McGlynn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been a temporary change for the Covid season though. Paging @Skyline Drifter, what’s the current status on players, loans and number of teams played with? Keatings played a few minutes for us in League and has played some for Montrose…I was under the impression that’s it for the year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its back to maximum of two SPFL level clubs now. If Keatings has turned out for Raith and Montrose he cant go anywhere else this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
