    But you can have best defensive record in a league by setting up defensively and putting lots of players behind the ball.  That doesn’t necessarily mean you have the best individual defenders

    Eh????????

    Luckily it's a team game where you should set up to your strengths

    Genuine questions for the Albion Rovers fans:-   

    What do you think of this level of Fitbaw ........good to watch ?

    Enjoying the away trips ?

    Will you bounce back to League 2 in the next 3 seasons ?

    Football is competitive if nothing else

     

    Some good away days, some not so good

     

    That's going to be such a hard task I don't think we will

    Mid table finish in your first season down. Hopefully you only improve from here.

    I thought when we were relegated a 9th or 10th finish, it's such a competative league

    We will see what next season brings hopfully push on

    Heading along to Cliftonhill next week - any recommendations for a pre match pint? Cheers

    Is it for the Saturday match v Civil Service Strollers? If so the bar will be open in the ground before (from 13.00) and after the game (till 18.00)

    Regarding pubs, Owens is the closest to the ground, though the St.  Andrews bar is a far better pub 15 min walk away through the main street

    4 Albion Rovers players v 3 in total from East Kilbride, Tranent and Bo’ness.  Don’t think so 

    I know

    Shocking to think someone would pick 3 defensive players from a team with the vest defensive record in the league by a mile, along with a striker who is regularly scoring

    His name wasn’t in the mix but his pal in the press would have you believe that it was. They also claimed he had turned it down leaving us to turn in desperation to Ian McCall. Like a candidate of mccalls calibre would be playing second fiddle to the chicken man 🤣.

    Yeah everyone was desperate to get McCall in,

    The Dramatic turn aaround in Clyde's form has been unprecedented

    His name was supposedly in the mix for the Clyde job. If can find another club willing to sign up for the circus he brings that's in the SPFL he'd take it. There's no guarantee EK will run away with the league next year if they're in it, certiainly not in the Sep/Oct when jobs start to open up.

    One of the few (only?) in the LL that can claim a sell-out in the league. With League Two clubs typically averaging over 500+, EKFC would be turning away fans. K Park isn't going to be good enough for their long-term ambitions. Something they know as they've tried to get something done in the past.

    We played EK on boxing day

    The Rovers fans out numbered the EK fans

    Why they're pointless is Glasgow-Alloa-Cumbernauld-Dumbarton in the span of 10 years.

    There was a spell before Alloa where they played in Airdrie

    I thought there was more than 70 there though as said about 15-20 from Broomhill,

     

    Today there were no more than 4 or 5 supporting Broomhill

    I see you boys have signed Callum Wilson, formerly of ourselves and Albion Rovers. Have to say. I'm surprised to see him jumping back up to League One - but maybe Michael McIndoe is the sort of frightening gaffer he needs to whip him back into shape. I think there's a smashing player hiding in there, but how you coax it out I'm not quite sure.

    I posted this on Albion Rovers' thread when they brought him in over the summer.

     

    There were 2 seperate incidents he fell out with management and was basically bombed out the team,

    Has been training with garrowhill ams the last few weeks and apparently wasn't very convincing about his side of the story

  10. From what I hear you are signing Callum Wilson from Albion Rovers,

    Hes been frozen out the squad most of the last few months after 2 seperate falling outs with the manager and has been training with garrowhill amateurs last couple weeks

    Decent player but questions over his attitude, was previous managers publicly questions his fitness and attitude
