Football fans are fickle creatures, if Dunfermline fans were saying he was decent seven years ago you'd have Raith fans hanging there hat on that. Likewise if Killie fans said he was decent those opinions would be held as fact. As it is he's pish, its not like he's racked up a huge amount of games since he's left Dunfermline, he scudded about the lower tiers before some nepotism got him a move, one he got a regular run of games at that level he was miles out of his depth. Tbf you all laughed when we signed big Gozie and he was nowhere near as bad as made out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm just assuming that Murray's plan somehow doesn't involve us pushing the full backs up much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's three CB slots, play three CBs. It's a specialist position. Anything else is courting an absolute shoeing. 10 hours ago, renton said: There is the odd exceptional case but in general, when a coach says "he can play anywhere across a back 4" that the coach really means: "in an emergency he might be ok playing CB for 20 minutes without fucking it up, but we'll be backs to wall and f**k knows we hope it doesn't happen" True, but Dick seems miscast as a LB, perhaps he IS a CB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 21/08/2020 at 12:55, Grant228 said: Gozie wasn't bad, was a bit lazy but he had ability, he doesn't seem to stay long at many clubs. Even if a few of the players you've brought in turn out to be duds I still wouldn't have Rovers anywhere near the relegation question tbh, teams like QoTS, Morton and Alloa certainly seem worse off at this stage. There will always be examples of bitter ex fans proclaiming players to be shite, and there's always a chance a player can improve, but I'm pretty confident in saying that's not the case here. It's pretty bizarre because from what little I seen of Airdrie it seemed like Murray wanted to have ballers at the back. Can only imagine you're going of the reverse of last year and having a rampaging left back, and a right back that's terrified of running with the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan came from Cupar and was a couple of years or so behind me at Bell Baxter. He had a big brother called Findlay, better known as Fin,(I think now deceased) who played with Newburgh Juniors and then signed for Rangers. He didn't make the breakthrough there though. I'm fairly sure Fin was in the same cricket 1st eleven with George Lyall, if you want a Rovers connection. Dan is back row last on right. This is first XI Bell Baxter team 1969-70.

Raith_Rasta Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 There, been any Rovers signings the last 10years that other football fans have warned us about, that’s been true? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Millen is certainly an uninspiring signing on the face of it and his record of back to back relegations isn't a great omen. However, I'm struggling to think of any available right backs in our ball park that we could've signed that would be classed as anything other than uninspiring. Difficult to get too up or down about it until we see how Murray intends to utilise him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Millen is pretty underwhelming but I’d probably rather we push the boat out to sign quality centre backs and a number 9 and settle for an average right back if it’s one of those situations. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'd heard you lot were interested in Comrie but not sure how true that is given he has a year left on his deal at us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
