Sonny Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 21 hours ago, ulysses said: There's been some crazy ITK style rumours that Hughes and/or the board told the entire Raith squad they were free to leave after the game yesterday. Allegedly some mental goings on with Hughes having a go at the squad then a player having a right go back at Hughes then a Director telling everyone they can go! May not be true but interesting anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather keep Stelios on and have Gary Irvine as cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soctty Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 He's a right back. Stelios is a left sided player is he not. Irvine will be a cover player on the bench if we get Devlin. Stelios is a two footed player, can play either side but is actually right footed. Regardless, I don't think we'll necessarily have a senior back up player for both full back positions, or for every position on the pitch. Just my thoughts on it...

John Hughes, left Inverness because they didn't have the money he wanted for players - cop out, leaves Raith after slagging off their players (one of the only things i remember him being right about) thank goodness our board didn't listen to those who wanted him as our manager. The wasteful and destructful/cheating tactics employed by his players at Raith sum him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Stelios himself might be the issue in terms of whether he'll stay on. He will (entirely understandably) be keen to secure a routine starting slot in a team, and the extension of Eck's contract might suggest that, at best, he would be a utility player under Jack's plans. Just a hunch, of course, and based on nothing of any substance (nothing new there, then....). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between him, Irvine and Eckersley, two of whom can play LB or RB, we had a perfect balance of cover, as well as attacking/more defensive options. But I think Stelios will be away.

FFS! seems some not only don't have their own mind, but will slag something off, then amazingly a few days later actually believe they thunk it? Posted Saturday at 12:25 PM · Report post Funny chain of events, Stelios signs, scores some crackers, plays well, is dropped apparently due to illness, comes back, scores plays well, still not first choice, heads home asap after last game, agent punting him online. was there perhaps a bit of a disconnect between him and Ross? Maybe Stelios thought he was better than Ross thought he was? Quote Edit Edited May 16, 2017 by Lord Pityme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Marvellous Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I see David McCracken hasn't been offered a new deal at Falkirk! I recon he would be an ideal replacement for Webster, he is a better defender imo, is still fit and along with Gary McKenzie would be good for Bairds development! A 1 year deal on the understanding that he won't always start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
