Gregor147 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 What’s the best away game you’ve been at?2-2 v Dunfermline was pretty good (if you ignore the first 80 mins)Should have been 3-0 down.Pars down to 10 men taking of one player and putting on two. Rovers bench going mental.Pars fans singing “You’re just a wee team” as Alan Walker’s header loops over the goalie for a 97th minute equaliser.Braw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love that with the BBC Radio Scotland commentary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Munro was a piss poor appointment from the get go. If we had just sat for a few weeks following McLeans fucking off and got a decent manager which wouldn't have been hard things might be drastically different. we dod beat Dundee United twice and had a draw with Celtic which pretty much ended their title Hope's. I’ve forgotten the Dunfermline thing. Last game was at Starks. Pishing rain and they were holding up A4 sheets with 4 in a row on them. Grim. Harvey was playing for us in the last 0-1 defeat. Did that man ever kick a ball in anger for us? I’ve never been so disappointed in a player. For Airdrie he was outstanding but for us he never looked interested.

CALDERON Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Good to read that Rovers are budgeting for an October start, in front of fans in Jan. Should mean we are playing in some kind of Championship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the rangers game was a Wednesday night 4 days after getting thumped by motherwell 6-0. Think that confirmed our relegation. the celtic game? Did david craig not score the equaliser in that game? celtic scored with 5 minutes to go or something, peter duffield just sank to the ground with his head in between his knees, then we went up and scored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell beat us 5-0 our 5-1 and Munro was sacked in the car park. Then Rangers put 6 past us. I left before half time in that match. I had a season ticket for the railway stand back then and it was 80-90% away fans when we played the old firm. I couldn't stand watching any more of that. On the flip side, it was great for that Celtic match to be able to give a bit back to all the Celtic fans who had been celebrating 60 seconds earlier. I recall being warned by a steward for over celebrating when we drew 2-2 with Rangers that season because it could incite their fans sitting in our end. Absolute nonsense it was.

I remember a bald Rangers supporter sitting in our end at that game. He wasn't trying to conceal his allegiance and got turfed out for his own good when Rovers supporters started slapping his bald napper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a good view of the game there. I was nearer the South end. Roughly in line with the 18 yard line. It was a great place to watch the match from but there were only a few season ticket holders in that area hence the bother when the ugly sisters came to town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 There used to always be old firm in the home ends and the c***s always went over the top celebrating. The Celtic game was essentially Paulo di Canio against Scott Thomson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the lockdown, rehab is going well. It's just over 5 months since the operation - anniversary was 5th May. It's going well, I'm back running and feeling fitter and stronger every day. I still have a bit to go but I'm past the worst parts and every day that goes by is a day closer to me being fully match fit."

Paco Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 My concern with starting in October and trying to make January is what do we think is going to have changed by January? There seems to be a belief that everything will magically be better by then simply because it’s a new year. We could be in the grip of a much worse second wave, we could have a vaccine, we really can’t be sure. I wouldn’t want a situation where the club agree to limp through from October until January based on, effectively, a guess that we might be able to get some sort of crowd in by then. If we agree to start the season behind closed doors we need to be sure we’ll be able to finish it that way, if necessary. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an entirely valid concern, and being able to plan for the worst case scenario would be the best insurance but equally I dont think it's feasible to be able to budget for an entire season with no crowds and I dont think we can plan for no season at all either, which is the other extreme. We have to start sometime, under some conditions... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McGlynn won’t take any unnecessary risks with him. He held him back from returning this/last season in line with the medical recommendations despite Vaughan himself feeling ready much earlier. He was also left out for our game at Airdrie (the game in between his two starts) due to a hamstring niggle he felt he could play through because McGlynn didn’t want to take any risks with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
