McGuigan1978 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 No it was exactly the way it happened and it was discussed on the thread at the time. On here seeking attention for it too when it has nothing to do with Vaughan how sad. And for the Raith fans saying we set out to do Vaughan, short memories, was it Benedictus or Davidson that got injured trying to do in Mikey McKenna? Big bad Arbroath though.. [emoji23]I’d say you’ve highlighted two different types of scenario here though. I’m not saying for a second that Arbroath were trying to injure Vaughan that day, but he was on the end of some pretty meaty challenges from a few different players, which suggested it might have been a pre-planned tactic. Benedictus’ tackle on the other hand was also bleak, but he was attempting a professional foul on the half way line to stop a breakaway and was spur of the moment. You’re comparing apples and strawberries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renton Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I mean, he's got bags of pace, good technical ability and can probably fit into the Vaughan withdrawn role nicely, but with Sando and Baird, it's not really those 300 odd punters at a tenner a month funding all this, right? Must st least be a few significant backers in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 We are either going up this season or we're going bust. I, for one, am glad of this because I can't stand this utter hell hole of a league and this is a means to an end. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Champions League goalscorer Gregory Tade, or *checks notes* failed Ross County Reserve player Daniel Armstrong.I really like Dan Armstrong, he was excellent for us, but let's not be silly now. I didn't think either were remotely realistic. I'd now like to restate my position.I'm delighted that the Rovers have signed a starlet who lifted last season's Championship trophy, rather than a player who *checks notes* was an unused substitute in a penalty shoot-out defeat in the Eighth Round of the 2018 Israeli State Cup. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will offer another dimension to the squad. Much better than tade in my opinion. i would suggest we now have a very good squad bordering on championship strength. this season is looking really good for us now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Interesting signing for you guys, I half expected him to return to East End given he was playing as a trialist for us the other day. A few Queen of the South fans were annoyed when it looked like we were getting him as they thought Johnston would try to take him to Palmerston, I can only imagine how raging they'll be now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not bad at all. Just shy of £50k a year. Worth two decent players a year at this level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I could see Armstrong being able to play the Vaughan role. Not as well, obviously, but better than anyone else in our squad.He's got quick feet, can beat a man and is capable of producing something out of nothing. He's also a greedy little sod.Can't fault the club's commitment to getting out of the league this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It's a shame Vaughan got injured, because having a line up involving Him, Armstrong, Baird, Spencer, Hendry and Steven Anderson would be disgustingly good for this level. It definitely would be, but I don’t think you would have signed him if Vaughan wasn’t injured, would you??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loss of Vaughan, another injury to Victoria and Dingwall not coming back soon has increased the need for a match fit winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I'm pleased - I'd much rather the Rovers won the league than Falkirk. Thanks anyway, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
