    Bonnyrigg Rose: the where do I get parked thread

    in Scottish League 2 General Chatter

    Posted · Edited by Chris_the_rover
    Update

    From Bonnyrigg's highlight package its clear as day the Rovers chopped off goal should have stood, its the bonnyrigg player who passes it to the rovers man

     

    I also distinctly remember rovers having more than 5 chances

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I've not been impressed by bonnyrigg this season

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Can't understand the cowdenbeath fans slagging off new dundas Park though, Central Park is one of the few measurably worse than Cliftonhill, only thing it's central to is the a*** end of the country

    Any January rumours

    in Scottish League 2 General Chatter

    Posted · Edited by Chris_the_rover

    He was let go after falling out with the manager, he went on holiday without telling anyone he was going, he said he informed the manager when he signed and Harper forgot

     

    Also struggled to get an old injury out his head, seems to be over it now

    If we were going for a last minute signing from a team near Falkirk then I'd go Joe Bevan from Camelon. Supposedly a stand out in a dodgy team and still only 18. I know a manager in the west of scotland league who reckons he'll be playing senior football next season.

    Turns out he will be playing senior football in January, Signed for Albion Rovers

    EastFife v Albion Rovers

    I wasn't 100% sure it was a foul from where I was, so I've on idea how you can be so certain given your angle of the incident. 
    Because he was running past the east fife player

    The east fife player pulled him back,

    A foul and as the rovers player had a clear goalscoring opportunity it's a red card

    It was an obvious foul if you don't think it was a foul the only excuse is you either didn't see it or you didn't want to see it.

    Gateshead tried to join the Scottish league twice back in the 60s and 70s but were rebuffed. Wigan Athletic also wanted to joinwhen they were a non league club. I don't see this Doncaster outfit getting SFA membership.

    Mind you, Queen's Park played in the English Cup final twice....
    At the time the English FA cup was an invitational tournement

    Albion Rovers -vs-Stenhousemuir (Saturday 29 October)

    in Scottish League 2 General Chatter

    Looking over the game, it was probably a great game to watch if you were a neutral. Rovers again showed we can match every team in the league.

    First half I though we played brilliant and could have scored more but the goal was deserved,

    Second half stenny were more in the game, but we kept going and a draw isn't the worst result,

    Only the top 2 in the division have conceeded less goals, and if we had somone who could finish consistently we would be well up the league

    First quarter review

    How do you rate your team's start out of 10?



    3/10, some impressive performances early on have given way to show the lack of depth in the team, James McGowans departure seems to have been the catalyst., we do however have a decent side who have proven to be a handful and a match for every other team in the league, even if we aren't winning games


    How safe is your manager's job?



    Meh, bottom of the league isn't a safe place to be and a 1-1 draw after 90 mins v Glasgow University at the weekend won't help matters

    Best player?



    Charlie Reilly has a tendency to act a bit like Kevin the teenager but scored 7 in his lat 11 games, not bad for a winger


    Best signing?



    Michael Paton has brought the experience we need,
    Ayrton Sonker has brought the physicality

    Best performance?



    The away win v Bonnyrigg was professional against a team who were unbeaten at the time, executed the game plan perfectly and fully deserved the win


    worst performance?




    Home to East fife was a horrible effort resulting in a 1-0 loss



    Which opposition side/player has impressed you?



    I was impressed when I surprisingly seen John Gemmell, the big man looks the fittest he has in years. Teamwise Stirling, I keep hearing about all this trouble at the club but there they are at the top of the league. I definitely think Dumbarton have the best squad though and still think they will win it

    Where will your team finish?



    8th,

    I dont think we are as bad as the current possition suggests and the league is the tightest it has been in years

    Dumbarton v Albion Rovers

    in Scottish League 2 General Chatter

    Stags is still there. More welcoming now as it was notoriously unfriendly in the past. Away fans are welcome in our club bar and if I'm not mistaken we've got a bar in the away end these days.
    It used to be terrible

    Hopfully we play well,

    Just to note, we haven't won away to Dumbarton since a 4-1 win March 2001, also the only time we have ever won at The Rock since Dumbarton moved there
