liam_barnett Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Looks like our next Cup foray could end in tears too.......we've got Burntisland Shipyard in the first round of the Fife Cup Already said in the domestic cup forum but if anyone's going along it's Tuesday at 7pm in Burntisland, £3/£1 entry apparently, been covered on their website, the ref appointments on the SFA site & Twitter, unsure why it's not on the Rovers site yet (maybe tonight or tomorrow night?). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam_barnett Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 A fair few of us eating our words tonight, myself included, what a fantastic 2nd half, more of the same as the season progresses please! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Murray Out Well hopefully Murray was just experimenting in the cups to get it right in the league only time will tell but most of us certainly called this one wrong myself included a great win and well done to the team and manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Still think Murray's a shitebag and we'll not finish above 7th, but aye, great result. At home too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Hopefully we make Starks Park a fortress now. The team need to make it hard for away teams to take points from us.

Wardy Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 After previewing some of the video, the noise from the away support makes it sound like an actual game of football rather than a graveyard! Which is most welcoming, apart from the few Fn's and Cn's! Haha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billRaith Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 If we can play like we did in the 2nd half we could do good! But will prob lose next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojito Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I see Falkirk are trying to sign hswhw, its such a pity our inept "manager" isn't pulling out the stops to bring him back. Our strike force must be awesome to overlook Graham. Anyway, Murray out. Lennon in please It's this kind of half baked bollocks that really gets me. Absolutely hee-haw substance behind any of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 A good Rovers performance. It's been a while. Credit to the team and the management. Turned it around from Tuesday. Onwards and upwards. Let's get behind the team Warmed my heart seeing folk sitting in the Railway Stand. Brilliant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, don't read it, it was a knee jerk reaction. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, some fans like fair play, some fans don't. Plus the other post I made, why are you unsure? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 A big, and unexpected, step in the right direction. There needs to be a few more days like this before Murray wins over the doubters though. It's good to feel some optimism ahead of next week though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover the Moon Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 the went for the cheapest option (a guy with no management experience) who was already on the payroll and gave him a long contract after a run of results with someone else's team. Now, after possibly the worst league run in living memory (didnt even Anelka better it - someone come up with the data?) they were still assuring us that everything was fine and this season will be different.Murray's contract extension came last season, his second in charge. While his first could be construed to be McGlynn's team, last year's was his (Watson, Booth, Cardle, Moon, Fox, Smith, Elliot, plus the emergence of Callachan). So he went on a 15-game unbeaten run with his side and was rewarded with a new deal - not unheard of.Secondly, Anelka's side took one point from eight games. So, no, this hasn't been worse than then. But why let that get in the way of an ill-informed rant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I didnt make a comparison with Anelka's team, I asked for one, so maybe your reading skills are lacking, or maybe in your desperation to prove me wrong you showed yourself up: in eight consecutive home games in the second half of last season we got 3 points, a draw against the mighty Alloa and a narrow victory over hapless Morton. I should imagine that a fair minded person might think thats somewhat comparable... Edited August 10, 2014 by Big Berk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
