It's minus 1.5 out there, had to properly scrape the car at the station. IIRC Carmuirs is quite shaded to the south, so if the pitch freezes it might not get enough sun to thaw.
Dunno if I want the game off or not...
Missed a game last week. Get the game on I say.

According to the elgin fan he is in the RAF and never got a chance at Elgin but apparently isn’t good enough for their levelIt can only be one or the other - he either wasn’t good enough or didn’t get a chance! But by believing any old idiot who has access to a keyboard you’re hardly giving the boy the best chance.

Sending off was as it was. My grumble is guys feigning injury and lying on ground when there is nothing wrong with them. It is cheating and doesn’t look good from that point of view.
I agree with you today - Musselburgh’s defence was awful. My main grumble is that we had no fight. If everyone played like Jackie who didn’t have a great game - but he shows he cares about the team) we might not have got beat 6-3.
My view - Jackie’s tackle was worse than Nathan’s.
We got beat by a better team - simple. Getting 3 goals - and we could have got more; usually will win you a match. Sadly, not the way we are playing today. Jeanfield are best side we have faced this season.
Agree with that. The guy in the first sending off was hardly touched but lay down for ages. The guy Myles hit rolled over about twenty times - poor form.

From my position behind the goal it did look a bad challenge for the first red but all depends on refs decision.
Second decision was too far away as I just saw our player on the ground.
Musselburgh were actually the better team after the red cards
Ref didn't have best of games missing a stone wall penalty for Swifts just after the opening goal.
Good win for us. Been threatening for a few games to score a lot of goals but not been getting the breaks. Hopefully kick on from now.
I was side on to the challenge and whilst it maybe didn’t comment it was wild and out of control.
Second red from my point of view was justified but only responding to Jeanfield players kick.
Your 23 was man of the match for me - only denied a hat trick by the teams chosen penalty taker.1 -

Agree Rob! We were beaten by a much better side today, but the guy who went down pole-axed when Nathan received a straight red deserved a smack in the goolies!! He stayed down for a minute; then the ref calls on their physio. Just as he approaches, the guy gets up and walks away, you can see there was hee-haw wrong with him! A yellow card, at minimum, should be awarded to these charlatans!!
Agree the Jeanfield player made the most of it but a tackle where your foot is rib high should be considered out of control and worthy of a red card.
Musselburgh were dreadful in defence and going forward were a force until the red cards. Myles was also lucky to only get a yellow card for a poor challenge.
Only my views though!0 -

Well beat today but Jeanfield were pretty shameless. No point in getting upet about the result because we were well beat but when you're still trying to get players sent off when you've got the game won....
Bad crack.I took in this match today as I was in the area. Curious to know exactly what you mean by your comments as from what I saw there was no dubiety over the Musselburgh red cards. I would have sent off the Jeanfield player involved in the second Musselburgh red card but other than that I’m not sure we were at the same game.

Only the result mattered today and that was achieved.
Stirling were enjoyable to watch, without any real cutting edge. Their number 10 was a standout for me.
Ultimately goals win games and TC popped up with a brace to secure victory.
You should calm down on your positivity and admiration for the Rose beating a team a league above us.

Course the players were behind him he brought them to the club and they still won nothing at the end of the day it’s been a poor appointment because he never got to the heights of the last time . When they appoint a new manager and he hits the ground running and wins something will you give the committee credit for making the change ?
Actually the most sensible post on this thread. Which is hard to say as Sheep can talk some rubbish.
The committee could appoint Zidane and there would still be complaints and moans.
I guarantee that when the new manager gets announced there will be any number of fans that aren’t happy with it. No matter what the committee do there will be those that aren’t happy.And if they are not happy then the easiest thing is to stay away from the games and put their negativity into something else.

Jack Ross has just been seen coming out of Macs with a two scooper waffle cone with mint choc chip and chocolate. No confirmed sighting of a flake in this.

To be fair , the committee were trying to interfere with the running of the team as well as training schedules etc. Also despite there supposedly being a big budget for players the management had hhehaw provided to them... Q when was the last time they paid a transfer fee for a player... Also at next AGM ask how much the Small rain shelter cost ?
Were they really? I’m sure you will be able to provide proof of course.
Imagine lowering yourself to having a pop at a disabled shelter. As you are a smart man you will know that to hold a SFA Licence a suitable disabled shelter is MANDATORY. And you will also know those costs, along with the funding from the Scottish Football Partnership, were discussed at the AGM before last.

I AM behind the club. I don't boo or complain from the sidelines. I turn up, pay my money and back the team.
What I'm not is blind or stupid.Well done. What you do with your constant negativity on places like this is upset people. You upset the players, the management and committee with your constant negativity. It gets tiring for the people who spend countless hours with no remuneration every week making sure there’s a team on the pitch and facilities that are the envy of many. It gets boring for the management team who juggle a full time job with making sure we have a team that know how they are meant to play. It gets annoying for the players who work hard all week and do this over and above their full time job.
Well done on not booing or complaining from the sidelines - you’re constant negativity on here far negates that.

I can comment on the performance. It was the worst I've seen from us this season.
Scullion has a case of Gary Caldwell Syndrome and thinks he's a footballer. Instead of rolling the ball into midfield, to Meikle, he constantly attempted the glory ball over the top. Like a bad golfer, his very occasional sweet hit keeps him coming back for more.
Without Ruari, there was no creativity in midfield. The two Smiths are fine as fillers and as foil for guys like Ruari, but they're not nearly good enough to push the game on by themselves. We were lost in midfield and this only led to more hoofs over the top. Barbour could maybe have helped in here, but he was needed at right-back.
The shape of the front three was very unhelpful, as I think it usually has been since Bradley started it this season. The two wide guys, Ronald and TC, play right up against the full backs. This means that they contribute very little in midfield, and when they receive the ball, they're facing the wrong way and under pressure from the defender at their back. This leads to us resorting to balls over the top, which are pretty low percentage. Ronald is dangerous when he has acceleration space onto the defender. Down TC's side it never worked as he doesn't have the pace to beat a full back. It's a waste of his talents.
We were without Ruari, Gray and Hutchinson, and it showed. Same as last week, we invited a weaker opponent into the game by underperforming and giving them hope.
Lastly, Huntly are not nearly as bad as I presumed they would be from their league position. Taking our game today, Fort William's 5-0 win against Vale of Leithen, Deveronvale's draw at Spartans, Lossie's narrow defeat and Clach's draw at Nairn, it all suggests the bottom of the Highland League is better than it's been in a long time. Our visitors today didn't do much wrong and battled hard to get something from the game.
Is Scullion not the guy who cleared off the line in the last minutes to save the day? Or is that conveniently forgotten?
You are fitting in well as a Rose fan when all you can do is pick up on the negatives and spout about them at length. The only positives in your post are about the opposition. Maybe they would welcome your “support”.

Wasn't at the rose game last week. But apparently the game was dire. Today must have run it a close second. Although I think the crowd was a good bit healthier.
Be interested to know why you thought it was dire. Pretty decent football from both teams. Lots of chances, some great saves and a lot of hard work from all the players.

Who rattled your cage? If you want to take issue with anything specific I've said, feel free; if you just want to whine for no reason at all then let me know know so I can get you on mute.
I refer you to you earlier comment
can't agree with you that we can't look at last season's results as a barometer. Against the same teams, why not? They're our rivals in the league and surely it's got to be our ambition to win it.
I am pretty sure Camelon thought they would hump Blackburn on Wednesday night based on your great insight.
I have you down as the only person who would respond with the great claim we would score double figures but our defence would leak like a sieve.
Pop me on mute if you want but I feel I have been pretty specific on the issues I have.

Ask GordonS - his barometer will no doubt have a lot to say.

You don't need to have played together to know you need to look at and talk to your centre half partner. All you need is to have played centre half before. And if you're an inexperienced partnership it's even more important that you focus on communication. I watched them for long stretches and they absolutely did not do that. I'm not just talking about a minor issue, this was catastrophically bad defending that really ought to have been exploited more. This is worse than when I was playing uni football.
The reason I'm pretty alarmed is, though the personnel have changed, it's a repeat of last season when we shipped goals to anyone half decent. Four at Beith, five at East Stirling, four at home to Dunbar, four at Broxburn (which cost us everything), two at home to Jeanfield in a match we controlled, three at home to Ormiston, three at Preston...
With genuine respect to Blackburn, getting a result against them isn't in itself an achievement for Rose. We beat them 7-0 there only a few months ago, and 5-1 in the home game.
Blackburn should have made it 3-1 before half time, they should have had a penalty late on and there was a shot that whistled past the post. They had much the better of midfield across most of the game (because we were outnumbered) and they won the tactical battle. They also worked harder. We got away with it, and no more.
The only comfort is that it improved in the second half because Barbour didn't go forward so much and Thom was able to stay more central. Maybe it'll improve when Gray can get back over there. But given the experience of last season I think we're in for a repeat.
Were there any positives from yesterday for you GordonS or are you thinking the worst for the season ahead?
I am a glass half full kind of guy so will play ying to your yang.
Going forward we looked good. Barbour missed two sitters in the first half and the Blackburn keeper had three or four good saves. In the second half we played a lot better football and again missed some great chances.
We won a game away from home missing a number of key personnel.
We have no right to look at last seasons results and use them as a barometer for this season. We won - there are plenty teams in that league who would have been happy to have three points on the board after their first game - but that isn’t enough for most of our supporters who post on here.
With the positivity shown on here you would think we had lost!

Max and co will be ready for the new season will your loser off a manager be ready
Glad to hear this as they seem to be making rather hard work of pre-season. Can’t find a team, even with trialists, a week from a tournament. Surely Max and his buying power can do better.

So you’re on holiday and posting on this thread like a demon.
If that’s not the epitome of being obsessed I don’t know what is.

Well you keep posting on the thread so that makes you obsessed.
And based on the above quote ill informed is the best way of describing you. Two trialists yesterday started the game, one of whom signed on after the game, with four signed players on the bench.
Maybe it’s not reached your neck of the woods but trialists can play in friendlies - how did your friendly go yesterday?

The guys on the committee will have spent many many hours working on the Falkirk game and it’s logistics. They will have sacrificed a lot to ensure it goes off smoothly. They have done it voluntarily. And I dare say it will run very smoothly throughout. All done by volunteers and not a paid member of staff in sight - bloody good effort considering it will be a sell out.
The only one on here getting all excited about some missed tweets is you. Knock yourself out if that’s all you have to fill your time.
