They have done some good community work football wise with the schools although I think that was down to Anthony McMinn. Also heard last night they are doing some great work with some local Palestinian refugees by inviting them all to the next home game on to the pitch to show support for the current plight of their people. when we slate them for football reasons it’s only right we praise them for being decent people 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pastmaster Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 The community work with the schools was down to Pat Rolink as part of the anti-sectarianism campaign. Pat is another good man who has been pushed out. With regards to working with refugees, didn`t Eddie Haggerty do similar with some Syrian folks a year or so back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its great to see so many rovers teams in Coatbridge , albeit some are under Cliftonhill name 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pastmaster Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Think Big Pat got various grants to undertake the schools work...and the Club`s football camps... yes to Tony on the actual `on the pitch` side 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Last season, you did a wonderful football programme involving youngsters struggling to gain employment and we also taught skills away from football. I popped down a few times to have a look at the progress youngsters I was working with were getting on and it was an excellent set up which really did put the club into the heart of the community and put you in a great light. Think that has ended now though as I haven’t heard about it since, which was a pity because the teenagers I know that were involved got a lot out of it and a couple of them attended a few games off the back of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 ?..and actually I've more of a soft spot for them than any other team, possibly because they are our most frequent opposition (could have made that up).I don't think Albion are as bad as we were, so will hopefully avoid the drop.We've played Rovers more than any other club and by some margin. If we've any Derby rivals it's Albion Rovers. After yesterday's game I'm not sure your second sentence will stand up but I share your hope. But then things can only get better[emoji846]Don't give up guys. Never say never. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David W Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 On average 3 shots on target = a goal, so that is absolutely abysmal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we had a couple of good players that year amongst the absolute dross, and were capable of picking up some points; Rovers look to have absolutely nothing, as things stand. A bit of SPFL experience in Wharton and Fisher, but back then we had Marc McCusker and Alan Lithgow for starters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact Trouten's goals dried up to a certain extent after Connor left in January. Really pacey and for half of lady season was really finding his mark with the goals as well assists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His own soccer schools ruin as a rival to our own.Sean higgans took all the school work on last season and apparantly done more than a good job with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
