19QOS19 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Scott Burns has just retweeted it so it’s probably true. Think it’s a bit of a pisser tbh the way teams can just pull a loaned player away like that without the loan club having any say. Yip it'd well and truly leave us in the shit tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yip it'd well and truly leave us in the shit tbh. Looks like it’s a done deal. The guy they just brought in is injured and they want McCrorie in for Wednesday night. Jamie MacDonald is the obvious replacement if the loop hole regarding his registration is true. Obviously for us it weakens a play off rival but I’ll be saying nothing until I’m certain Rangers or Celtic won’t do similar with Kelly or Doohan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALOREBURNE Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This has turned into some transfer window Talk about maybe a couple coming in start of January but now we’re potentially 3 down with absolutely no one in. Amongst that 3 you’ve got 2 first team players as well. Oh to be a Queens fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ayr have had a dip but I doubt you'll drop far enough to be a playoff rival... We weren't finishing Top 4 before losing El Bak and McCrorie, no danger we'll be Top 4 without them.

No idea how much we got for El Bak but the board will need to give a fair amount to AJ if they expect us to remain in the division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Some window right enough if the goalkeeper is now away. His arrival represented a hugely positive development for the team. I'd see his departure as more alarming than El Bakh's, which was quite bad enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS_Blue1919 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Yep. Brutal stuff. No idea how much we got for El Bak but the board will need to give a fair amount to AJ if they expect us to remain in the division. Have heard from a very good source it was around 40K. Not bad considering he only had 6 months left.Shooting in the dark a bit here but wonder if we’ll get Andy Firth from Rangers, or possibly a younger ‘keeper.If this is true, and AJ never had something lined-up, surely Leighfield wouldn’t have started the reserve game today? He left exactly 11 first-team players out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No be McDonald as the daft fifa two clubs in a season rule a said below woulda like thought rangers will help us out and loan us Firth but if livi did enquire in a goal seems strange they offer them McCrorie instead fodringham or Firth aslong as McCrorie is going be there number 1 other wise it seems an odd move we’re deffo in deep shite January is when you meant strengthen your squad not weaken it [emoji30][emoji24] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Is RM going to be good enough for the step up? How's he played this season? From the looks of it the lad we got from Huddersfield came in and played one game, faced one shot and let it in and then got injured and is back at Huddersfield now?

Toshson Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I find this Robbie McCrorie situation very strange on Rangers behalf. If it's true and he's off to Livi, that's him played for two clubs in a season. Surely if anything major happened to McGregor and Fotheringham it would of been easy enough to recall him back from Queens to replace any of there keepers. It just doesn't add up on their part. And if he's going to Livi it would need to be as there No 1, not sit on the bench and lose guaranteed game time, which he's getting currently at Queens. Then Livingston's wouldn't be able to play him against his parent club for the rest of the season as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To recall a player just to loan them to another club is poor form IMO. Unless Livin are contributing more to his wages I don't see what benefit this is to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives their promising young goalkeeper experience at a higher level for if they plan to keep him. It gives him increased exposure if they don't. If he is to be their number one, it also means that Livingston will field a stronger side against every other club than they will against Rangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate it's a higher level but given they've extended McGregor's contract, RM clearly isn't going to be No. 1. next season. Surely another 6 months at this level wouldn't be the end of the world and they could go with a loan to that division next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kunter Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 It's pretty shambolic we haven't brought any players in yet. Clearly something in the system is wrong, either scouting, organising or budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if there was an injury and he was at Queens, they couldn't register him and then play him. He's going to come here and be first choice for us so a half season at a higher level is probably pretty invaluable for him at this stage in his career. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
