BooBairn Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’ve been critical of the start the new board made but should also say fair play for the work being done now… Didnt really want McGlynn but he’s a far better bet than Alan Johnston / Jim McIntyre etc. Recruitment has been better than us, particularly in the loan market (ie. Jamie Gullan). Raith played some very decent football especially since being promoted to the championship. He seems to get better performances out of players that we couldn’t (ie. Aidan Connolly). On top of that, a quick start in terms of releasing players and sharing the news with supporters. Feeling more positive than ever before… Just need to get a smashing new kit, release Brad McKay, sign 15 new players and win the league.

But in a way, could be appropriate for our new season (oh please God!) Could be, who knows? There's somethin' due any day I will know right away, soon as it shows It may come cannonballin' down through the sky Gleam in its eye, bright as a rose Who knows? It's only just out of reach Down the block, on a beach, under a tree I got a feelin' there's a miracle due Gonna come true, comin' to me Could it be? Yes, it could Somethin's comin', somethin' good, if I can wait Somethin's comin', I don't know what it is But it is gonna be great With a click, with a shock Phone'll jingle, door'll knock, open the latch Somethin's comin', don't know when But it's soon, catch the moon, one-handed catch Around the corner Or whistlin' down the river Come on, deliver to me Will it be? Yes, it will Maybe just by holdin' still, it'll be there Come on, somethin', come on in, don't be shy Meet a guy, pull up a chair, the air is hummin' And somethin' great is comin' Who knows? It's only just out of reach Down the block, on a beach, maybe tonight Maybe tonight, maybe tonight 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most mental post I've seen in long enough from Taxi Massis, then Hope Street Walker continually being Hope Street Walker multiple times. A release list to beat all release lists, with a bonus of ATS being on it for me, as I thought he had another year to go, thank f**k. Then an old school manager to top it off. And it's only 5pm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Rover Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 With such a competitive league next year, regardless of play off results, I’m not sure who is going to win your league but McGlynn will certainly have you there or there abouts with the play offs as a second chance of going up. I am sure we will pass each other come the end next season so all the best folks and if the pars do go down please make sure they stay there 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't actually too bad for that level. Just don't ask for him to communicate with the defence or leave his line. What happened with mutch? Thought he looked a decent prospect when we were down there with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me thinks he might get a lower-end Championship team based on reputation alone - the other part of me thinks he’s completely finished at any sort of decent level. Boys in the terrace were talking about it on last nights pod and I genuinely can’t think where he would go, Kelty would be ideal bar the name of the club. If he didn’t have the 5 kids you’d imagine he could get a gig similar to what Cummings got in Australia. Darvel perhaps but giving him a black rooster card could kill him off, just never been fit the size of his shorts says it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our 'keeper when we went up and although he does have his moments, mainly due to communication, he is more than capable of being No1 in league 1. He's been our gk coach this season with macdonald as No1 but hasn't done terribly when called upon either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Just thinking. Who actioned the player release?Don't really care.

Michael W Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) I'm sure we tried to sign Taylor-Sinclair last season but were priced out, so a little surprised he's gone given McGlynn's been appointed. I never saw him, right enough, so maybe he was garbage. Edited May 3, 2022 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it won’t be an easy sell but they are contracted. We can’t just toss them out. Each one will need to be negotiated individually, dependent on the length of contract, their wages and what they manage to obtain elsewhere. Some will cost very little but in total it will be a not unsubstantial amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw him, right enough, so maybe he was garbage. He’s absolutely fucking ganting. It takes a very special kind of defender to be worse than both Ben Hall and Gregor Buchanan yet he manages it quite comfortably. Think of Fernandy Mendy but left footed and slower.Still better than Brad McKay of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure mcglynn would've been asked if he wanted any offered new deals. Probably why this was released shortly after raiths statement. The fact he doesn't want to keep any of those shitebags is a promising start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
