I like Bene, but there's a world of difference between tearing it up in league one and cutting it in the championship.
Just look at Cove Rangers.

Thank goodness for Yogi appearing in the papers.
Suddenly the last few weeks don't seem nearly so bad.

Dylan Easton with fully half the entries there, he'll be raging if he doesn't get it.
It's about quality, not quantity

In terms of appeal, this game sits somewhere between root canal treatment and a stiff shite.

I think it is about time the 200 club and other clubs linked to the fans get together and instead of handing cash to the club generate enough to purchase either a decent stake in the club or the staduim itself.
Good idea in principle, but Stark's Park properties might then start to charge the 200 club and the like for the use of the premises.

From what I recall from previous IM interviews, the money from the Rangers game allowed the club to bring in Isma, money well spent then!
That can't be true as Isma was signed before we'd made it through the previous round. He scored in that game.

Very poor statistics from Trouten when 7 goals have been penalties. Walls would be up there had he not been injured.
One look at Saka's effort for Arsenal this afternoon should tell you that seven successfully converted penalties shouldn't be sniffed at.

The problem with the Hybrid model is training time for the part-timers overlaps with other uses for the pitch as Starks Park. Back when we were hybrid recently, it was barely hybrid, with only two or three part-timers. I can’t see us going back to any part-time players simply because it would disrupt revenue from the pitch…although with the new “owners” not being invested in the Park…hummmm…
Apart from disrupting revenue from the pitch, the other issue is that it was mentioned before about the difficulty in attracting full-time players to train on a Tuesday and Thursday night.

See Forest Green have gone down today, serves them right for casting aside the absolute baller that is Regan Hendry.
Serves them more right for appointing that thug as their manager. Hopefully it's his last job in football.

On the substitutions, I’m delighted to say that Scott Allan looked like the quality player we though we’d signed. Olusanya also looked decent and caused a few problems for Raith. Balde was a massive improvement on Tait and must start against Cove.
I just posted on another forum that, whatever bad decisions Rovers might have made over the last few years, securing a six figure sum for Dylan Tait certainly isn't one of them.

How good was Gaston’s save after he fumbled the cross? Looked incredible from our end

I’d be surprised if Arbroath don’t win, I also expect at least one of their goals to be from a set piece.
Absolutely.
An Arbroath supporting pal of mine said last night that they're playing much better than earlier in the season, but he wasn't sure where the goals would come from.
To which I replied 'From a set piece'.

Still lots of loans outstanding in the club’s accounts. Be interested to see if these are paid off by the new group to try and wipe the slate clean.
There were proposals passed at the AGM to convert loans into equity (shares).

Sim said the projected loss for 22/23 was between 300 and 400k.
I asked him if this included the Rangers game and he said yes - in other words it would have been in excess of 500k without that game.
Obviously the 22/23 accounts will be the ones to be discussed and approved at next year's AGM.

It’s a tough balance ‘decent away day next season’ v ‘seeing Dick Campbell have a melt down’. I actually think Arbroath will be fine even if we beat them. They’ve got better goal difference and I just don’t think Accies will win more than 3 points. As for Cove they’ve already chucked it.
I hope Arbroath stay up, but we beat them today and they secure survival either on the last day or, better still, against Falkirk in the playoffs.

I vote for this, Arbroath is a better away day than Accies.
Arbroath is definitely the best away day in the division and arguably the best away day in the country.
However, we want to keep the excitement alive at both ends of the table so a Rovers win today, a Dick Campbell meltdown and the prospect of an erse nipper of a game for Arbroath against Hamilton to come please.

Ref for tomorrow looks more than a bit card happy
It's perhaps fortunate therefore that Rovers - Arbroath games are always played in such a good, clean spirit.

Nisbet was generally always part of a pair - with either Buchanan or Duggan.
The flip side of that is our midfield were slow and sluggish with guys like Wedderburn, and Matthews was much less effective in that formation.

We had our best times when he had an experienced head beside him, Ally Dawson, Ian Munro and Frank Conner. Frank Conner coincided with the peak of the Barr era spending as well. The football during that spell was better under Conner.
Frank Connor was a tremendous guy.
He took Raith Rovers from the abyss, won promotion in his first full season (sorry about that one, boys), and put the foundations in place for Jimmy Nicholl to build on.
The word "character" is overused in football, but Frank was thoroughly deserving of the description.

Bobby Duffy shown in that Stranraer photo later became Player-Manager of Brora, and I would doubt that anyone would outdo 'Plum' for spanning Scottish football.
I think the only way to beat that would be Stranraer to Wick Academy.

To those who are at best indifferent towards Jamie MacDonald - Premiership Ross County had Ross Laidlaw in goals today and Ross Munro on the bench. If either of those two rocked up at Stark's Park next season as replacements for Jamie MacDonald, would you see it as a step forward?
Me neither.
However, if Falkirk make it up through the playoffs, I see them trying to entice MacDonald as McGlynn is a big fan and the guy they have just now looks rank rotten.
