Genuinely fancied us to have more of a chance against Aberdeen than we do against Caley. Has there been any word on why Vaughan missed out? Word from FanTalk is that he had a swollen knee, non-ACL related. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I'm over the loss, but I feel sorry for the poor fucker on the PA filling his downtime reading the Argos catalogue to the dolphins in the Firth in his spare time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Feel much better about the 90 minutes having watched the highlights. I thought Dukus 2 chances were sitters, they weren't really. Great defending and decent goal keeping. Other than a fantastic strike (even better on 2nd viewing) there wasn't anything in it. Now, that isn't to say there were some things which were a tad concerning, however it does suggest that some of the meltdowns on here and on the clubs Facebook page, are a tad premature. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this. Inverness just shaded it I think and probably deserved the win. Exact same result as first game up there last season. Disappointing, but no reason to meltdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree with you more, I would have Tumility and Connelly in a heartbeat, as you progress through the season you will be a tough outfit to beat if you maintain the form showed yesterday. Berra you can keep, at times he looked like he was just a shadow of his former talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Aye Berra was piss yesterday. Looked done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) Berra will be hot and cold this season I fear. That block for the Duku chance however, was superb, and his distribution of the ball has been very good - actual balls into the channel rather than shite punts. Can't think of any real howlers yesterday. However it can't be ignored he is a slow 36 year old past his best.

roverthemoon Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Thought Berra was solid enough yesterday. Clearly doesn’t have pace but can read the game well and was rarely beaten. Think a lot of folk, including Rovers supporters, are just looking to jump to the ‘he’s slow and finished’ conclusion rather than looking at what he actually does in games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I lost count of the amount of times he got spun by Duku and Sutherland yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think either gets anywhere near our starting XI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Walsh and carson are the two i would take at raith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I think Zanatta would be an upgrade on Gardyne. A fit Vaughan I would take as well. The rest? Meh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Vaughan didnt play, leaving only Zanatta worthy of your team in the side it's strange we didnt get a real doing. Another mystery - didn't we finish above you last season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Gardyne is better than Zanatta. There’s a reason the former had played 90% of his career in the Premiership and the latter has played 15 games in it. That’s a wild call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 That said, Vaughan would probably be our best player if he signed for us. He’s got real quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardyne is a 35 year old who runs out of puff after half an hour. Maybe if could be reborn as a central midfielder, but his days as a winger at this level, in any meaningful way, are over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanatta starts like a house on fire everywhere he goes then fades to a total jobber. Been the same at every club he’s been at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumping Duku in the same category is daft. He’s literally done it at one Scottish club. Edited August 8, 2021 by TheScarf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
