parsforlife Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 East end is pretty good for parking a bad decision will probably cost you about 5 minutes more than a good one. Generally my advice would be to park at the end you intend to leave from due to a short road closure at the ground post game and to avoid what looks to me a naive decision to insist on parking on Halbeath road which with a big away support can result in cars being parked as far back as the railway bridge beyond the lizzie. Even then it’s only a 10-15 min walk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardog_champion Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I can see this being a hard fought draw.,our forwards can win the league. It’s just the back let’s us down, nae point being 2 goals up just to lose the same amount in a 10 minute spell of heads gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Rover_In_The_Burgh Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'd like it to be 3-5-2 Dabrowski McGill O'Reilly/Murray Corr Mullen Byrne Brown Smith Easton Vaughan Hamilton Not Sure if O'Reilly will still be here but I'd start with him if he is. What I think it'll be.. Dabrowski Millen Murray Corr/Brown Dick Byrne Brown/McGill Connolly Easton Vaughan Hamilton Again depends if O'Reilly is available? Who knows it's a bloody mine field guessing out starting 11!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows it's a bloody mine field guessing out starting 11!!! Big Kev Millen/Brown/Dick/McGill Byrne Connolly/Easton/Mullin Hamilton/Vaughan I just think IM will stay with his beloved 4-1-3-2. I think Murray might be slightly dinged from Saturday (for that matter, Thomson wouldn’t surprise me that much). Smith is off the boil, better as a sub here. IF we have O’Reilly, he replaces Dick, who moves to LB and puts McGill riding the pine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only have 11 players we know are definitely fit and three are goalkeepers! Although there are another 4 or 5 who are in the "likely to be fine" category so we might be able to field a team and a few senior subs if we're lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAITHROVERS84 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Need to get a win here as I’ve zero doubt United will once again give Abroath a scudding. We’ll create chances, hoping Hamilton and Vaughan can be clinical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 We're either getting dicked, worse than the 0-3 in the Scottish Cup, or we'll put a gutsy effort in and get a draw. Suppose we don't know until 2pm and the team lines come out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I'm going for both Dunfermline and Dundee United to score early goals leading to a frustrating and nervy first half. Dunfermline to then shite it in the second half and the Rovers to comfortably leave with the win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose we don't know until 2pm and the team lines come out. I think both sets of supporters don’t have a clue how this’ll go. Based on our last 2 performances minus super Sam Stanton it’s a great time to be playing us. From our perspective we’re hoping the riot act has been dished out to sharpen the players up. A lack of bite and winning of second balls has been noticeable last 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Its going to take a red card+penalty incident for us to win this I think. That'll even up the teams if nothing else since we'll only have ten available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher brash Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The away win against Dundee United has IMO went against us slightly as complacency has set in and the level of performance , Energy , hard working characteristics of the team have dropped not so much against Ayr but certainly against Arbroath , Fine margins in the championship and probably the 1st time this season I was confident the Rovers would win easy against Arbroath. As for todays game I haven’t got a clue TBH the lack of numbers might galvanise the Pars and create a siege mentality but for the Rovers I’m looking for a big reaction after Saturdays result so who knows 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Rover_In_The_Burgh Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I have to say, sitting top of the league and derby day at New Year and haven't sold out our end? I get folk might be unwell etc but still, if ever there was a time to sell the away end out I thought it would be today. I mean we took 1900 up to Tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've conceded 6 goals to ten men Ayr, and Arbroath playing their subbie keeper up front. Not sure you lads should be too downbeat on your chances... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, without getting all Falkirk on it, I thought you'd have sold a good few more. New Year Derby is usually one of the biggest crowds of the season, with people up visiting relatives, folk off work and having one last wee bit of festive fun before going back to work. Being 18 points ahead and being massive favourites to do an away double at New Year would seem the likeliest place ever to shift tickets. Should still be a decent crowd in, I think there's over 7000 sold but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC12 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 The complacency wasn’t only from the team, but also the fans. Almost everyone I spoke to pregame expected us to roll over Arbroath, me included, so glad we all got a reality check. I think we were by far the better team last week and on another day would have been comfortable so maybe we weren’t all far away, but still goes to show, be slack and teams will punish you. Just hope we show more composure today and a bit more dig. Hopefully see Hamilton firing on top form too as felt last week there was something up with him although still had not a bad showing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
