Thanks for explaining that to me. In your opinion why can’t Fife attract top end players? Phew that’s a hard one to give an answer on. I actually think we have over the EIHL era. We certainly did in Heineken and BNL days. Guys like Dingle Fulton Haines(both) Pitton boys. Keller Owen Reagan etc etc. Trouble this season seems to one we have been trending towards for a few seasons. That’s our budget. Crowds slipping year on year doesn’t help. Many factors play into guys coming or not. I mean Cardiff or Fife one is up for winning things and playing CHL. The other finished last. One has a shiny new rink one doesn’t. One has fans that moan the other doesn…..,hang on all clubs have that. Sometimes it could be down to other offers leagues etc just being more attractive. Fife do seem to have a good name for treating their guys right. Nice merc’s for example so that does help them. Word of mouth plays a large part. Hockey is a small world after all. This season it seems pretty clear our budget is reduced. Which will explain younger guys less experience. Said it already not a bad move after a lost season. Almost a restart first season feel to it.

I love how if you have a negative opinion about a player you’re automatically some loser that will say it online and then run to them for a photo and an autograph in their eyes… embarrassing statement from him to be honest. The reason Isaacs has taken the flak this year is because of what’s been announced before him, if he was the 5th or 6th D man I don’t really think anyone could moan too much, but looking at what we have it’s clear he’ll have a big part to play again and to be honest that’s not going to help the team climb of the bottom of the league.
And by the way, every fan is entitled to an opinion especially since we pay their wages, no one has slammed him personally. I can think of many players that no one has ever gave a negative opinion about so just remember that.
Cheers,
A fan that pays his money and is entitled to give an opinion on it.
Ps good luck in Italy Rhino, I have heard he is a hell of a roller hockey player.

Actually had a few offers - this league and others. And plenty last off season too. Some teams like a stay at home d man that’s easy to play with. Thanks for your support though. Can’t wait to see you at the team events asking for autographs etc. while slating us behind our backs. Whoever you are, if you have an issue with my game - come and talk to me. We’ll cut some video. You “fans” don’t get it. There’s lots of good players that don’t come back BECAUSE of this c*** they get day in day out. Especially anyone with a family. It’s hard for their wives and kids to read and hear about. Love, Rhino How’s Italy looking? It looks hot from the video he sent me ;-)

I never once offered a “fan” the chance to chat outside the game. I think there's a big difference in skill and level of play between from where and when you played (Camperdown Stars - then re-named Dundee Stars, Perth Panthers Etc). Also, the level of criticism from a % of the 50 fans watching where you played, is no where near what watches and criticises the players at EIHL level. I don't think James is offering what you think he is offering, he's not that kinda guy! He will quite happy chat hockey with anyone who wants to talk the game.

This whole thread reminds me of the 2017 season, when every signing was criticised before the first game and we went on an amazing run, winning the conference and going to the playoffs!!...I wonder if 2021 will be a repeat for the flyers!!....good luck to them and the Rhino!

You know what - I absolutely doubt 2021 will be anything like 2017 and I've been accused in the past of being a happy clapper so clearly we are all doomed - however no one knows at this point - not even the coaches and the individual players. Fans venting is all white noise until a puck is dropped and people can objectively assess. Once we get into the season then people can be called out for their shortcomings - if that's what makes you happy of course.

Just to make one positive comment on here I am pleased that we have some young guys ready to prove themselves. The likes of Young, Mosey, Delaney, Mosey etc are all examples of relatively inexperienced pros that came in and did a great job for us. I would much rather young guys ready to work and make a career of hockey than guys using Fife as a retirement gig. I will never comment on a player without seeing them so there are a lot of unknowns this year and I’m excited to see these young guys go out and play, That is our D core signed apart from a Brit. The difficulty I have is seeing who our first line pair is. We do lack some toughness on the back end on paper. I think we might line up as follows: D1: Naslund and Emmerdahl D2: Isaacs and Blumenschein D3: Lescovs and Is there any chance we have signed McKee and will go with only 7 import forwards with Peacock and Bari on the wings. I can only hope this is the case because our back end does unfortunately look a little light although potentially quite skilled. Leonard or McKee would give us better balance,

Leonard or McKee would give us better balance, i think it would kill us going 7 import forwards, any injuries upfront and we’d be down to bare bones. I think the 8 import forwards gives us the depth needed. Personally what id do is sign 8 import forwards and 6 import defenceman then just rotate the 5 import defenceman on a nightly basis.
