Michael W Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wilson was subbed off in a game against Stranraer in November 2006, then I think I'm right in saying he didn't miss a single minute of football until being subbed off 19 minutes into an Inverness game in October 2009 (and missed his first game the following weekend). In 2010/11 my recollection is that he missed a game through illness or something and then couldn't get his place back for a while as the team was going so well. He broke his wrist as I recall, and missed the rest of the season. We then signed Gatthuesi. In 10/11, he was sadly quite poor over the season, which goes some way towards explaining why Murray was played at RB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stella10 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The drop in prices was because it wasn't a bit draw for the 2 respective cup games so it was insentive to get people in to try and boost the crowd. for this game there is no need for that as it is a big game and £17 is fair enough To be honest £17 is never going to be fair enough at this level of football. I understand why clubs put prices so high because they have to balance the books, but going forward clubs have to look at reducing entry prices. I feel that if it was £10 every wk people in time would start drifting back and crowds would increase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sorry to totally verge off topic, but how on earth is Craig Wilson playing for Ballingry Rovers these days? I would never have thought he'd be any lower than the top of of League One at the age of 27. He wasn't spectacular, but he was a solid defender and comfortable on the ball going forward. Does anybody have the faintest what happened to him? Quite shocked at this. Always thought he was fairly solid for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 To be honest £17 is never going to be fair enough at this level of football.

I feel that if it was £10 every wk people in time would start drifting back and crowds would increase. But in that time, in order to balance the books, the club would have dropped down the leagues as we couldn't afford anything resembling a team good enough for this level which wouldn't exactly have fans coming back. Let's face it, prices are never going to be at the level they were in the 90s again, and Rovers won't double their average attendance (which would be needed to break even at £10). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What are your thoughts on Dave Smith, lads? You'll have seen more of him than most of us have - what's his best position? Is he a winger? Have you seen him play through the middle as a striker? Is he just not that great? Or his he just ok? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen him play through the middle as a striker? Is he just not that great? Or his he just ok? Very lightweight but has potential. Played mainly on the wing for us, if i remember correctly, and started really well but faded towards the end of his 2nd loan spell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I thought he put in a tremendous shift - very impressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I thought he put in a tremendous shift - very impressed. Watched the game today and Smith did quite well, probably more effective than Walker was. When he was with us he always struck me as the sort of player that if he beat his man early on he'd go on and have a good game while if he didn't he'd end up disappearing for the rest of the game.

Aye, confidence is a massive factor for young players. Walker has more to offer than we've seen this season, but it's early days, obviously. Smith did more in terms of tracking back, and gave everything he had - that's about as much as we can ask for. Anyway, I should get the f**k off your thread. Good luck, guys! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody have the faintest what happened to him? Aren't Ballingry getting bank-rolled by Wullie Gray since he left East Fife? I thought Bobby Linn was rumoured to have gone there for a decent wedge too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Gray left Balingry at the end of the last season. I'm sure Linn got something like £12k signing on fee, then £500 a week last season, insane money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I thought Linn left Ballingry to sign for Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Should do a good job for them. For 3/4 of his Rovers career he was out in the wrong position. He utterly controlled the game when we played Partick away last December, probably his best performance in a Rovers jersey. His one goal for us was an absolute cracker too against Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
