Well we are off to the League 2 Champions for today’s game. Will be interesting to see the attitude of the home team after a run of draws in their last few matches. Our games against them this season have been close boring encounters with them winning them all 1-0. The Rose getting something out the game will be massive for us as the season nears its end. Again the first goal will be all important. C’mon The Rose

Well it’s back to a calmer Boomtown Bernebeu this afternoon to play our nearest neighbours. It was worth the OTT entrance fee last Saturday to witness our best performance and result of the season. Here’s hoping we can carry on with the momentum gained in the last few weeks and get another good result. They got a draw on their last visit to NDP where for me it was a case of who squealed loudest for the decisions. Another 3pts today for The Rose will be massive. Looking forward to it. C’mon The Rose

So it’s off to the Kingdom today for another important game. I am biting the bullet to go and support my team and pay the entrance price with a donation to the Dick Campbell wages fund. We were a bit unlucky last Saturday with Peterhead getting a late equaliser. The wide open spaces of Methil will still be wide open to the wind. Don’t expect a classic and hope that we come away with something. C’mon The Rose

Well after all the rain this week I can’t believe that the game is on , so well done to those who have been working on the pitch to make sure it’s playable. It’s not going to be a pretty game for sure with the wind also into the equation. Thought it was a so-so start for Callum last Saturday, how we need to score more goals and as usual the first goal today again being all important. Expect a lot of the fans will be regularly checking their phone to check on the score in an important game elsewhere in Central Scotland. C’mon The Rose

So a new era starts for The Rose on Saturday. My personal thanks to Robbie and his team for the journey of his tenure at The Rose it has certainly been a fantastic journey from level 7 when he came to the club to now be at level 4 with a few League Championships and Cups along the way.. So it’s a welcome and good luck to Callum Elliot and his team with a massive opening match for The Rose. I feel we must get something out of the game and as usual the first goal of the game will be all important. Looks like it’s gonna be dry for the game and little wind. Another nail biting day awaits. C’mon The Rose

Well it looks as if the game today will be going ahead. Not the best of early Spring days. As usual the games against the sons are turgid affairs. Don’t expect this to change today with The Rose now battling to stay in the League. We did score a very early goal last week but in the end was all in vain. Would be happy to come away from “The Rock” with something. C’mon The Rose

Just getting ready to leave the house for the short walk to the Boomtown Bernebeu. Certainly gonna be a heavy pitch today in a vitally important game for both teams. I don’t expect a classic and as usual the first goal of the game (if either team scores one) will also be important. Will wear gloves today to save my fingernails getting further damage. C’mon The Rose

Last trip to the Highlands this season for The Rose and so far not very profitable, so hopefully that can change today. We salvaged a deserved point at the end of the game on Tuesday after the assault on Brad for the penalty. It was great to see Kieron score a well taken opportunity and hope he can go on a scoring run till the end of the season. Again first goal all important again. C’mon The Rose

Well it’s a local derby midweek match at the Boomtown Bernebeu. The pitch held up well on Saturday so should be same tonight. Both teams suffered home defeats on Saturday past. Once again we were powder puff and failed to make many scoring opportunities, surely that has to change someday, tonight would be a great time to start but our previous games against our nearest League neighbours are normally tight low scoring affairs and I see tonight no different. As usual the first goal is all important. C’mon The Rose

Well it’s rather wet in Boomtown at the moment so another game on a likely heavy pitch. Surely we will perform better today than last Saturdays tepid performance at Spartans. We don’t have a good record against the League leaders so it would be a great result for us if we can put another dent in their promotion push. Scoring the first goal of the game is again all important today. C’mon The Rose

A massive local derby today in North Edinburgh. The game there last September was an exception for me with 4 goals shared on the day and us losing a 2 goal lead on the day. Goals have dried up for us in our last few games so we have to score today preferably the first goal. Usually tight affairs against Spartans and I don’t expect anything different today. C’mon The Rose

So back to the Boomtown Bernebeu this afternoon in the main business of the season. I am sure all Rose fans were more than happy with our performance at Pittodrie last Saturday, it would have been nice for the team and fans to have been rewarded with a goal but was not to be. It’s a decent day to watch a match and no rugby on tele to keep fans at home so should be a good turnout, will East Fife bring extra coach loads of fans at the beginning of their new Managers tenure? After last week’s performance I would expect the Rose to field the same starting 11 which may be tough on Mercer and Byrne. 3pts by 5pm today would be massive. C’mon The Rose

It would seem that it was also a meh performance from Aberdeen behind the scenes. I don’t know what the protocol are in the Scottish Premiership for hospitality, but I have seen a tweet from an esteemed Rose man who said that the home club laid on No food after the game for the visiting players. I think that is a piss poor performance to the Dons foe that. C’mon The Rose

And from the bottom of my Rosey Posey heart I thank Aberdeen for appointing Warnock as their new Manager in the week of a Scottish Cup match. I also thought it may add a couple more thousand home fans to the game which will be a fantastic boost to our coffers. I also give you massive credit for your admission prices. We are likely to bring a lot of families with us and the admission money makes it reachable for parents to give their kids a good day out. I don’t suppose Warnock had heard of Bonnyrigg Rose till his appointment and can imagine his response when informed. Look forward to my trip to Aberdeen on Saturday. PS. Does anyone know if VAR will be in operation for this game? C’mon The Rose

Another midweek League game at the Boomtown Bernebeu tonight, hope it’s a better game than we witnessed on Saturday, still the same pitch and less windy. As usual in these contests scoring the 1st goal is all important. We never made many chances on Saturday so hopefully take advantage of any chances that come our way tonight. Every player will be looking for a good performance in order to be selected in Saturdays big. C’mon The Rose
