roverthemoon Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Got to laugh at the fact we’ve not even launched our strip yet due to supplier problems and the team has brought expectations crashing down already. We must be the only club who can’t even capitalise on pre-season false optimism. Edited July 14, 2018 by roverthemoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it actually McHattie, just waiting on the nod from Smith? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Volunteer night on Wednesday at Strathearn. If you've got astro boots, get along. We need about 10 players. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Luckily for you, Arbroath turning over Utd and Montrose beating Falkirk means nobody will notice you got pumped by Cowdenbeath today. Annan beating Hamilton as well. Definitely not a day for coupons. How much BOOOOOing was there today? I found myself standing too close to Bodge, so I can confirm that there was in fact a lot of BOOing came from this direction. I’m away for a lie down now to get rid of this migraine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank conner Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I'll be pretty surprised if Smith lasts the season tbh we have to get off to a great start in the league if not it won't be long before the fans are calling for his head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a long old season. It really doesn't matter who we signed during the close season. The man dictating tactics is still there and although something like 15 players have left, the product on the park is exactly the same - the long high ball that bypasses the midfield. What I would give for Stewart Petrie to be appointed as manager. I still haven't bothered to go along to Stark's to buy the season ticket but as things stand I just can't be arsed. Thinking back to last season and the turgid football on offer I've come to the conclusion that Barry Smith just isn't up to the job. He's a Gary Locke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Keeping Smith is going to fucking cost us here. We should have been all over Petrie at Montrose. At least we’ll have a shiny new pitch though [emoji849] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 The fans were calling for his head mid way through our fabled bad spell. Hoofball and injury is the mantra of our club again. Outplayed by a team that overcame relegation from the Scottish league twice in a row. The man has learned nothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I put in just as many challenges as him too. I was saying similar on the way home. You'd think he'd at least put a bit of effort in and make a couple of tackles to at least try and get the crowd onside. Instead he didn't seem interested unless the ball came looking for him, and even then the most he mustered was a couple of decent flicks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter who we sign as we have a manager we is completely clueless and resorts to Victorian tactics. Did anyone really expect anything else today?I have been going to the Rovers for 30 years and this is the first season I have no desire to go back. I have not renewed my season ticket and have no intention to do so and will just pick and choose the games and it's purely down to Barry Smith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Too early to say Smith out? Probably. Never too early to boo though. Fill your boots.Firhill for thrills.Stark’s Park for booooos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) I wonder if they were under orders not to get involved so as not to pick up any more injuries? Any hoo It’s the guys at Raith Tv I respect most, what a task they have ahead of them this term interviewing the coaches and not telling them what they really think of them. Wonder who lost at Rock Paper Scissors and has to do the post Match interview. Edited July 14, 2018 by Scottydog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who lost at Rock Paper Scissors and has to do the post Match interview. That's what gets me most about Smith...his insistence on basically picking the questions and refusal to answer any questions about specific players. The guy who said after the Alloa debarcle that we could do a Dunfermline when they were the only full time team in the league and stuck with dinosaur Jefferies could be spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to wonder if Smith HAS learnt something from last years costly foray, ie using these games to blood players (no' literally, like!!)!! Prefer to be starting the League campaign with a fully fit squad (if possible) than losing guys to injury in the "Piston Cup"....: How can this be? We still have three games to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
