WC Boggs Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 A game Rovers have to win to possibly avoid the play offs. A game where Stirling will want to keep their unbeaten run going right to the end. Will it be same again, or will some first team regulars return for one last show? Either way, game on and goodbye for now league 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WattersIsGod Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Who knows what we will get.... Would be great to keep the unbeaten run going and take it into next season. Might be the last chance to see Cliftonhill for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, like East Stirlingshire, Berwick & Cowdenbeath, if Albion go down then I don’t think we’ll be seeing them back any time soon. As for what to expect, really don’t know but suspect the starting lineup will be similar to Saturday past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy of the rovers Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 You may want a souvenir at a mere £2.50 once you come through the turnstiles! Charlie Reilly who is up for PFA League 2 and also up for Rovers POTY adorns the cover. For those wondering he's wearing our 140th Anniversary strip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see either happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose on a bit of a run unbeaten though, so it doesn't look good for Rovers that's true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unitedbino Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Just want to say thanks to everyone who has made this season so memorable - not just players, but my fellow fans. Seeing sold-out crowds at Forthbank again, as well as bumper away crowds at Dumbarton/Stenny etc, has filled me with real hope for the future of the club. It's been great fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers fans and fans of other clubs tell us we have a good chance of winning them but the time for talking is over. The league table doesn’t lie and ironically we have a better team than last season we’ve been far too inconsistent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb yatt Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Will be cheering on Stirling. But watching Reilly in the hope that he has a cracker. Did DY leave Cliftonhill on good terms? I like a good conspiracy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unitedbino Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Can't say I'm surprised at how that match went given the changes made. Rovers fans must be wondering how we won the league - did we play a single good game against them this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Well that was a dire way to end the season, but when was the last time we actually played well in Coatbridge? The young lads stealing Primary School boys scarfs really was a new low for me, embarrassing!! Ah well, glad to be home and when you look at the squad, it was obvious we were on our knees, so what does it matter……League 1 here we come! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WattersIsGod Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 We were dreadful and got exactly what we deserved. Never mind their fans watching us and wondering how we won the league. I'm watching and thinking how are rovers bottom. Thet team should have way more points than Elgin or Bonnyrigg. The front 3 gave us more problems than nearly every team I've seen this season. Still an enjoyable afternoon out. Cannae beat a Christies pie either 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I think 39 points is the highest total in history for a bottom-placed team in the Scottish bottom tier. Not sure any has ever managed a goal difference as "high" as -1, either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wondering this for months. Good luck to the Wee Rovers in the playoffs. When's the second leg at Cliftonhill? If it doesn't clash with a Sons game I'll aim to get along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coming contest with the Spartans could be as epic as Brechin V Spartans. at the end Buckle up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, no official condemnation or action invites the behaviour to get worse. No statement, no condemnation, nothing!
