roverthemoon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well done to the club on the Living Wage thing. Great to see the club acting responsibly and doing the right things off the field. Well done also to everyone who put the effort into the new South Stand. I think the big posters look cracking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_Munrover Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 You could have made the same joke without using language that belongs back in the 70s. Would rather language like that was never used, even ironically I apologise if I have offended anyone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Hi Guys, interesting reading your comments regarding McCord. Ryan was never the quickest, he even looked slow when playing in League 1 and 2, i would have thought that full time training would have made a difference but he is never going to be a speed merchant, early days though. As for his tackling, McCord was good for 15 yellow cards a season, basically down to his lack of pace he was committing too many late tackles, however certainly last season he cut this out but it meant he rarely went in for challenges and seems to have carried over this trait into this season. As Alloa fans we were initially disappointed to see the break up of our team but on reflection we only survived the last two seasons thanks to an 96th minute Bob McHugh goal against Cowdenbeath and last season through the play offs against a mediocre League 1 side. The point is we were not that great, McCord was meant to be pulling the strings but didnt score a solitary league goal which for a supposed advanced midfield playmaker is a poor return, like Dumbarton and Livi who have also taken our supposed best players i think expectations may need to be tempered slightly, McCord was a decent player in a OK team who survived mostly down to a great team spirit and a dreadful Cowdenbeath side as opposed to good quality football. In saying all that i hope it works out for him, he was loyal to us when he had better offers, so good luck to him and enjoy the up coming season guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Going by the highlights, we ended the game a lot stronger than I can remember. Vaughan does need to look up to release the ball though, his curling shot near the end, that brought a good diving save out of their keeper, Vaughan should have released it to Robertson there and chances are it would have been a goal.

roverthemoon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) I apologise if I have offended anyoneDon't think it's a big issue.Will be interested to see if we sign Hooper. I think he'd be worth a punt based on last night. Maybe McKinnon was playing his performance down in his interview so he could sign him quickly Edited July 22, 2015 by roverthemoon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe McKinnon was playing his performance down in his interview so he could sign him quickly People have mentioned that after the first half hour or so, he became anonymous which is probably true, but the boy probably hasn't had much of preseason training.. And by the half hour mark, he had already created something that only one other person in the squad had created in the last five games. A goal. Id certainly give him a shot, id rather him over Massen anyway. The conference South is probably our level. Possibly just below our level, but even if he was to score half of that in 29 games up here, that would be a success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him come off the bench and make a difference then I'd think more of signing him, I thought he done well for the fact he came to a team he hadn't even heard of at such short notice but with only space for one more player I'd still keep our scope open 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkcaldybanjo111 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The posters look nice in the concourse. Just a thought can they/ have they considered painting more red white and blue on the breeze blocks etc. Just looks a bit grey and dull. Great work though to recognise the history and players of the club Stuff yer red white and blue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won 1-0 and Mark Ferry scored. We all knew he was missing it the moment he grabbed the ball. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Re- McCord I think the criticism is harsh. He is not a pace or ground covering player. This will look 'worse' when he is not fit i.e. pre season when games are about getting fit. However, quality-wise I think he has shown (previous years included) excellent technical ability and clever movement to get on the ball in deep areas. Movement to get on the ball in deep areas and having the confidence to take the ball under pressure and play passes in our own final third and the middle third is something we have not had since... Paquito!? This is something very often overlooked. And without trying to be confrontational etc., usually by those who do not really have an appreciation for footballing footballers. He may not turn out out to be a great player for the Rovers. But quality-wise he is one of the best we have. So I am hopeful. Also he has been training full time for one month... hopefully this will show a dividend in the next few months. Anyone that has payed part time and then went full time will agree with me that the degree to which your sharpness increases is frightening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
