Ex Junior Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Heard today that Lochore players David Byrne and Andy Rodgers have both left the club. Andy has signed with Kennoway Star Hearts and David has signed with Kirkcaldy YM. Another 2 players away, both regulars last season, as was Liam devaney, Robert Fyfe, john ferguson, lee Reid and Brett McGuire(who I heard is moving to lochgelly) that's 7 first team players away now. So how do we think Lochore will get on next season without them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secret agent Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 You can add Connor Little to that list as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Junior Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Forgot about him^^^ Rory McCann has also left, albeit maybe not a regular, still another departure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secret agent Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Surley Lochore will be looking for money for all the players U23 with the U23 retension rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Junior Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Don't know much about that rule mate so can't comment on that, young boys should be allowed to go play football and not have to worry about money etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secret agent Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I believe all players U23 that signed pro can be retained by there club, in Lochores case byrnes, devaney, McCann, reid , McGuire are all under 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Junior Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 How can they justify retaining players that aren't under contract with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victor meldrew Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I would imagine Lochore would be looking for some compensation for these guys. Whether it's right or wrong, that's the rule. Lochore would argue the right that they have played a big part in these boys development in the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Junior Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's a shitty rule, the boys are free agents so how can they get money for someone that isn't signed with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victor meldrew Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Just the way it is mate. Used to be the same for everyone regardless of age, now it's just 23 and under I believe.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
