I didn’t think it was as far away as that, but the original point stands. Imagine that conversation. “Hi, it’s Ian Murray, we’re interested in your young centre half. Yeah he’ll be third choice and game time will be limited but we need him for cover”.

I’d love to have another centre half but when we have two who are going to play and another two who can cover, that will do for a few months. If Murray thinks money is better spent elsewhere then fair enough. 

Or we could have an option to go with a back 3 which gives us a chance to play 3 in the middle with Spencer returning and 2 up front if we can get a striker in.

Apparently we deducted the money from his wages unlawfully and because the club did not respond the judge has taken the decision to award him the money instead of holding a court case.

Probably less in total than the solicitors fees and expenses…good value.

It would have been better value not to have ripped him off in the first place.

Have to say, if anyone was ripping anyone off…surely he’d be the guilty party, since we were paying him to be a competent player.

As in the DG case, as in this, the club has a duty of care which was breeched.

It's Ok to pay an unwanted player a fortune but stiff a another unwanted player for over £2K?

Consistency has never been a strong point of the Rovers, or our illustrious sort of leader, Mr. Sim. Might be amusing to hear what the unlawful deduction was for, as it must have been for about £50 a week, a not insignificant sum, if it was over the course of his time with the club, or about £100 a week if it was on one of his two contracts (June-Dec or Jan-May).

Might be even more amusing to find out who is responsible for doing the wages...................I can hazard a guess

Don’t mind it. He’s seen little time and will need to get up to speed again. It’ll take a little time for him to bed in at the Lichties, and we don’t have the spot for him to play anyway. Best of luck to him in the other 27 matches.

Would anyone here take craigen back he’s the versatile player we need in the squad can play RB/LB, winger and CM when inevitably we get out mass exodus of injuries….. just a suggestion 

He left Arbroath because he wasn't getting consistent game time, can't see him coming here to be a bench/utility player to cover injury.
