tigger Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Only thing that’s going to happen tonight is more injuries and us losing money on the tie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Actual colts would be good. Rovers v 11 young horses. I'd pay to watch that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take off the £4 that goes to Aberdeen and deduct the £1 vat from the £6 left, bear in mind the floodlighting is the same tonight as for a full house, and it's safe to say tonight's proceeds won't be funding many signings. Remember the good old days when we used to get fined for fielding a weakened team in this cup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Our first team tonight with only Bene being rested. Absolute Shambles from Smith yet again.Only decent thing is Thomson and Duggan back on the bench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Near enough our strongest available 11. We are a shambles. Barry Smith is an absolute moron at times. We might win 5-0 but one injury to anyone will cause a ridiculous amount of seethe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we don't have a massive amount of options but surely at the very least Berry, Stevenson and Valentine should have been starting. I would also have involved Jack Smith as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here’s to an injury-free evening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unreasonable though to suggest we should be challenging for a playoff spot, which is effectively mid table in the Championship. Didn't say we should be achieving it nor getting promotion, but should be in the hunt, like clubs with similar or smaller supports have done. Oh, and we did as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you have done in the past, but based on your crowds you aren't in the top 16 teams in Scotland so why would you expect to be challenging for the playoffs? In the current championship you'd have larger crowds than Alloa, and similar crowds to Ayr and Qots, although of course if you were up Ayr wouldn't be... It's unreasonable to suggest that off the back of your crowds that you should be challenging for the playoffs, if the stars align and you get a good squad+manager then it's absolutely plausible you will of course, it's not massively above your level. How many times has that been in the past 20 years though? 3? I'm not entirely sure so I'll let a statto correct me on that one. I've got absolutely no qualms with the suggestion that Raith could challenge for a playoff spot, Livingston got promoted last year with two men and a dog in the home end, but the suggestion that you should be after a 1400 home crowd is pretty wild. With that said best of luck this season, miss you guys x 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you could argue all day about where teams should be or expect to be it doesn't always work out that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
