Specky Ginger Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 If the prosecution was "Rovers did enough to win in 90 minutes" it would probably stand up in a civil court on 'balance of probability', but fall short in criminal court on 'beyond all reasonable doubt'. Thought we were the better team over the piece, but still lack a real cutting edge and looked vulnerable on the counter attack, especially when we turned over possession in midfield. Can't wait to see Ross Matthews back for the next derby. His mission has to be to cement the Phantom of the Opera who scored their 5th penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hummmm…Stanton and Smith likely out for Tuesday, no one expected to return. Dąbrowski Masson/Watson/Corr/Dick Easton/McGill Mullin/Vaughan/Gullen Hamilton Bench: Thomson, O’Neil, Arnott, Mitchell Sweet Jesus, here we go again…Hamilton off at the 60 minute mark for Mitchell…Arnott the random reserve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect both Stanton and Smith will be in the squad for Tuesday. They came off as precautions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 McGill struggled in the first half, was a bit better in the second half but he is still miles ahead of Masson for the RB cover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is proven at this level, give him a chance, the absence of Brown and Matthews was the difference in last nights match, so it was obvious he was going to be exposed, he’ll only get better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossgatesCynic Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Murray mentioned Smith & Stanton came off as precautions/they were cramping up etc. but he also acknowledged there aren’t the bodies currently to replace them, so I’d expect them firmly back in the mix come Tuesday. Murray again stressing the club are ‘close’ with a few signings but acknowledging it’s frustrating that there’s not much can be done once an offer has been made, other than sit by the phone & do likewise with other targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agents have a lot do with it obviously, biases aside. Why not commit to an up and coming club like RRFC. The positivity within the club is a breath of fresh air. Yes I do know money is a factor too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 We'll surely make one or two changes on Tuesday anyway. I think we'll give Hamilton a start for certain so if Smith didn't make it Hamilton would just come in for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 No sausage rolls or steak and haggis pies in one of the kiosks (at about 4.15!) but the steak pie was tasty and the kids liked their hot dogs- a definite improvement on previous catering I’d say. In defence of the long queues, I’d say being a tea-time kick-off, maybe more folk than usual for that size of crowd were wanting food? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardy Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Just waiting until Tuesday to test the catering. Was a decent enough game yesterday, frustrating to lose the extra point the way we did. Both Gullan’s and Vaughans penalties were poor. Pars zoned in on McGill and it worked for most of the game. But I feel we had the better of the chances overall. Gullan was unlucky off the bar from his free kick and his turn and shot in the second half. Thought Corr looked not bad on my first viewing, recovered from his mistake as well. Think if he got a run of games in the team he could be decent next to Watson. Dabrowski will just take time to settle in as well. Totally different game on Tuesday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always huge queues and long waits at a derby and suspect there were a few sampling the new menu. Will hopefully calm down. Had the Chicken Curry pie. Top notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
