At the first friendly. Jim is actually a sound auld boy but you'd think he'd know by now that friendly reults are entirely meaningless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperHans Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Aye it's early doors. Left back was good and could have done with a good winger. Bene was pushing further and further up the park towards the end of the game. Liked the look of Spence and Buchanan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I feel Jim's pain. I'm usually unhappy when I'm not at the Rovers. I'm also generally unhappy when I'm AT the Rovers. Usual friendly affair tonight. Euan Murray looked decent. As did the trialist left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Typical first friendly, full of heavy legs and heavy touches. Really hard to take anything from that. Only really went because I figured it'd be my only shot at seeing the trialists before the competitive games start. The number 3 - McMullen? - looked decent at left back, within the obvious constraints of a glorified training session, got himself in some decent positions. Number 2 didn't make much of an impression either way. Robertson looked well rusty, but at the same time was trying to drive forward with the ball, something we're often crying out for. Cal, Robbo, Barr all looked well off of it - but then it's to be expected. All the forwards looked a handful, and I suspect we'll be seeing a fair bit more of Court, he's the one who offers the physical presence up front. Vaughan had some nice touches and some heavy ones, but looked good dropping into the deeper pockets of space, to turn with it and play others in. Buchanan doesn't have tracking back in his game, but looked good playing furthest forward, Spence was his good old, hard working self. Bene still isn't a full back, Davo will be as Davo does and Euan Murray looked good. First half setup was your standard 4-4-2, it remains to be seen if Smith can further recruit to make that viable long term.

A City player stepped inside Barr on the touch line and the absolute mort that sells 50/50 tickets told him to get a fucking hold of himself, or words to that effect. Barr then said, "shut your puss you old c**t". you are obviously busy on a Saturday match day doing something to benefit the club when he is selling 50/50 tickets ?, are you ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the fan's abuse is completely unwarranted? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 If you can dish it out you must be prepared to take it in return. This. No matter whether you raise thousands or work hundreds of hours, it doesn't give you a free licence to shoot at player and not expect a result. Especially in a meaningless game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The person concerned shouts every week at the players no matter how well they are playing, can't understand why he would in a friendly though I suppose he's intitled to shout as he's paid his money however this doesn't help the Rovers pre-season game or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying that a fan can abuse the players in whatever way they please but as soon as the player retaliates, it's out of order? Especially when the fan's abuse is completely unwarranted? ExactlyLast season a lot of our fans weren't happy with Conrad Balatoni when he effectively told some guy standing in the terracing to shut up. The guy had been standing in the same spot all season, spouting the same shite and generally being pretty horrible to any under performing players.Some fans knew the guy and defended Balatoni but most of them took the attitude that the guy was paying money to watch garbage and he was perfectly justified in what he was saying. Added also that Balatoni was being paid by the club so he had no right to confront the supporter.Imo it doesn't matter how you're being paid or how badly you're playing it doesn't give someone the right to come to what is basically your workplace and shout abuse at you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannon Fodder Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Why do people get so upset over a friendly, a few boys having a breakdown on Facebook. Happens every single year, without fail. Remember some fans boooing the team off after a defeat to East Fife a couple of years ago. Went on to have our best league finish in almost 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
