Matty-RCFC Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I fear this is another summer of everyone else around us strengthening and us getting worse. Not that I'm that bothered while the Malkster is in charge, but you'd have thought we'd have made a few decent signings by now. Don’t think we’re arsed about the league this year. We’re clearly building a squad for the tennents sixes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always amazed at how poor the online shop is, just have random bits everywhere. As for the training wear there seems to be a fair bit of yellow. I can remember us having an away shirt around 1995 which was yellow, I wonder if we are returning to that? Still doesn't seem to be much out there in regards to players coming in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggy1929 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Malky interview on the club youtube channel now. This could make or break whether you see me at the ground this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could make or break whether you see me at the ground this season. If the accent of the interviewer doesn't put you off, not much else will. "SHQUAD" Around 9 minutes in, he makes a comment about "going down there" or at least I think that is what he said as the audio isn't the best, so assuming we will be looking at English players. Also sounds like the club will be utilising the loan market, but not until players are back from the Euros. It certainly doesn't look like there is going to be any imminent business, and he has admitted that it is unlikely that the side that starts the season will be the one to play just a few weeks after. The club finally seems to be getting a scouting department, or something similar. It will be interesting to see how they manage that. I imagine most would be outsourced, rather than directly employed. Not that I can, but it certainly isn't an interview that would change my mind about getting a season ticket, then again he could say that Messi has signed and I still wouldn't watch a Ross County side with Mackay in charge. Most likely just my dislike of the guy, but there is just something off about him. Even the way he conducts himself in that interview, he doesn't look particularly comfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one mention of the elephant in the room at all there. Totally tone deaf and frankly quite a boring interview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally tone deaf and frankly quite a boring interview. This is a club that blocks fans on social media for calling press releases “terse”. Tone deaf is a deliberate choice. I’m not remotely surprised that the poor, under qualified media guy (minimum wage, part time hours, as I recall) can’t put together a competent video, though. edit: loan players =\= club identity. That was clearly bollocks by Roy. Edited June 16, 2021 by Savage Henry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing of the interview, after signing a brand new backroom team is going to focus them, their attributes & the future vision. I'm not sure what others were expecting. What's new to be said about fans, that you'd expect to be discussed in this interview? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to look for the first winnable game of the season and I’m still looking for I cannot find one. Didn’t realise how competitive the league actually is this year. Yeah, it's a very tough start. 5 of last season's top 6 in the first fixtures. Then two away games against closer rivals after that. We'll be underdogs that's for sure, hopefully others will underestimate us and we can pull a few surprises 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issue with the focus being on the backroom staff, but with there being a massive backlash (for our standards anyway) and for the manager himself to not address the supporters concerns is fairly disheartening considering we're still meant to be a community club. I'm not surprised by it though after Roy's comments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the timing really matters, this was the first interview with Mackay since he has been appointed by one of the clubs official channels. As mentioned above the vision doesn't seem to go in line with what MacGregor said the day before Mackay's appointment. It would have been good to see the club address the issues that numerous fans have brought up with the appointment. Especially as large numbers of our support look all but set to chuck it in. They could have spun a narrative on it, but to totally avoid the subject just adds to the frustration that many fans have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
