Ro Sham Bo Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Considering Murray said that releasing Frederiksen helped balance the books I wouldn't bet on anyone coming in to replace him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s pretty much a first team regular now, having displaced the old Captain, who was suspended. I suspect that’s the last we’ll ever see of Conner in SP, but it seems we did a decent job of developing the lad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just MacDonald talking in a haphazard way, a bit like John Sim does. You just have to try and pick out the information from all the noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an accountant, consortium has a very specific meaning and usage, so I’ll stay cheerful, why not, the weather here sucks right now, and the results aren’t helping.

Raithie Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Never mind that, MacDonald must be on the sauce if he thinks we'll get 5000 to 6000 for the Motherwell game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Motherwell brought 2,000+ to Arbroath, and we’re certainly easier to reach…we had 1,850+ at ICT…it’s a conventional Saturday afternoon home match, against a team we haven’t seen in 15 years…the weather looks reasonable (not freezing and not raining)…I can see 5,000+ as possible.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, grounds for optimism for a half decent crowd, against ICT we played some good stuff and entertained quite well I thought, just a pity we couldn't see it out. Hopefully be enough to tempt some of the non regulars out of that 2000+ to come along for the Motherwell game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover the Moon Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 FFP reporter can’t even be arsed to put in the date of the game (“weekend of February 11 and 12”). What a hopeless rag of a paper and its coverage of its local team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Would be a fantastic season if we reach the spfl trophy final , reached the next round of the Scottish cup and finish in 4th spot however I think we will finish either 5th or 6th place knocked out by Dundee however I fancy a wee cup upset against Motherwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 MacDonald appears to be making up for lost time. Said nothing for months on end after DG, now in the papers every week. Suspect the journalists have realised all they have to do is phone him up and they’ll get a ramble and a headline. Still don’t see any real benefit of talking about the buyout until it’s over the line but it at least sounds positive - although wasn’t it end of March it was hinted it’d be concluded rather than end of season? Still can’t understand why anyone would want to hand Sim £3m for the club but perhaps it’s loose change to them. I’m excited for the Motherwell game. They are on a very bad run so think we can have a right go at them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like an extension of the previous interview in the FFP given that it refers to the Motherwell game as Next Month and the Linlithgow game as being on the Tuesday. They've probably kept some information back to sell editions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The FFP has been dire for Rovers coverage since Matt Elder left. The Courier is heading down a similar road as well. The guy who replaced Alan Temple is useless. There's been a couple of instances recently where there's not even been an article about us on the day of a match. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
