Ex Machina Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Not gonna lie, was really hoping we were gonna sign one of the trialists to add an unknown and foreign quantity to the squad but ah well. Best of luck to Jon, hopefully we can see the player of Dundee United and not Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The boy Foster who went to Ross County? No idea how he's getting on. Better than advertised. Looks like the world's been lifted from his shoulders. Can't blame anyone for playing like crap there last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I've been on Jon Daly previously, he rejected an offer from a team substantially larger than ourselves in this division for a lot more money, but came to Rovers as he wants to be here. Scotland today news sport had a Hibs looking for a striker, then interview with McKinnon saying, they shook hands on Sunday and today a bigger rival club in the division came in with more money but Daly had said he shook hands on the deal with Raith. A rather honourable story in the footballing world of today.I'd guess the club in question was Hibs, strange as they have a fair quota of strikers.

Broken Algorithms Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Scotland today news sport had a Hibs looking for a striker, then interview with McKinnon saying, they shook hands on Sunday and today a bigger rival club in the division came in with more money but Daly had said he shook hands on the deal with Raith. A rather honourable story in the footballing world of today. I'd guess the club in question was Hibs, strange as they have a fair quota of strikers. Just said the same on Fantalk (our own forum). For Daly, he's got far more chance of getting first team football and exposure to other clubs elsewhere. Also, Mckinnon has worked with him before doing badges so they are familiar. I think credit has to go to McKinnon, this is the second time (after Craigen) where he's clearly gone out of his way to meet with a player to convince them to join ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Callaghan injured is pish but I'm just glad it's his shoulder and not an injury below the waist like Vaughan. I'm no doctor but hopefully when he gets his fitness back they'll be no long term effects. Gives guys like Petrie and Matthews a real chance of breaking though, let's hope they take it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistle Blower Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I would have suggested the other club was st Mirren 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Wighton better not be punted to the bench for this Daly fucking donkey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Wighton better not be punted to the bench for this Daly fucking donkey. Best place for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely59 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Martin Nelson is always so negative. Jon Daly proved at United that he is a quality striker who just needs a confidence lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) Wighton better not be punted to the bench for this Daly fucking donkey. Daly will score goals. Wighton needs to prove himself if he wants to keep himself in the team.. He had his best game for us on Saturday as well as notching a goal. He needs to carry that on now, or he will be rightly dropped to the bench..I also reckon that Daly will end up as first choice when hes match fit and it'll be Wighton competing with Stewart for the second spot..

Wee Sandy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ray Mc will get the best out of Daly. Hopefully a few of our negative "friends" will have to look elsewhere for their da(I)ly moan!! Don't seem to hear so much from the "McKinnon oot, McGurn in" brigade these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Even though Wighton got the goal, I still reckon Davo's header was enough to see it go in. He only got the slightest touch on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Even though Wighton got the goal, I still reckon Davo's header was enough to see it go in. He only got the slightest touch on it. Watch the video again and you can see the defender and keeper both well enough placed to stop Davo's header. Wighton's touch lifts it up over both. Not sure it was going in on its original trajectory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, even if Wighton's touch didn't change the trajectory that much it still unsighted the keeper and probably had the keeper in the wrong position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll defer to your view of it mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me any goal is a good goal, and I know what you mean. Wighton being there caused enough confusion between the defender and goalie. I'll take that any day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Provided we can get them all on the pitch at the same time, Toshney, Benedictus, Davo, Anderson and Daly should give us a hell of a presence at set pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding Dang Doo Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 There's always the option to go Daly up top with Stewart and Wighton playing off them and then 3 in the middle like we did against Albion. Would mean having to rely heaving on full backs getting up and down to provide width but could always be an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
