Another friend who in fact is a Rovers fan but can’t make saturdays anymore attended Saturdays game as a one off same comment how the hell can you watch that sh**e every week and the most boring game he’s ever watched. I must be just ammune to the poor performances now but it’s evident now just how poorly we have been but unbelievably still 2nd top with a slim chance of being promoted Football Eh! I think if you attend games regularly you develop a blind spot to just how shite the football is. I once watched us play QOS on Alba in a Glasgow pub and watching us in a totally different context from sitting at the ground, I couldn’t believe just how bad the football was.

The past few games where we've featured on Alba I've been embarrassed by our performances whereas I've maybe had blue tinted specs on when actually being at a game. Interestingly I'm not at that stage yet where the standard of football is putting me off attending the games. I've accepted that 9 seasons out of 10 we'll be mediocre, bordering on rancid, but going to the football is habitual for me and I still enjoy going albeit I've cut back significantly on away games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 TV games like that highlight how difficult it is to get non-dieherd fans to want to pay £15 a go and watch that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree I watched the Airdrie v Rovers game on Alba and was thoroughly entertained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Generally the football we watch is piss poor. The exception was that last third of Ray McKinnons season where we were good to watch. This season the home record is great but I don’t recall one memorable game where we’ve played great football. That’s not unusual. Under Murray it was a procession of performances that weren’t worth watching. Locke? Amazingly the away win at Falkirk (4-2) was really good but that was the exception to the rule. His sides were murder too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 It was rubbish. I think he was meaning entertained in the sense we never won so it gave him the lols. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one for me that stood out was the last game against Ayr last season. The board reduced the prices to a ridiculously low price, and we got about 3,000 there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game that sticks out where we looked the dugs was the 5-0 win away to East Fife. Granted EF were/are pish but can only play against what’s in front of you. For as good as we are at home not much sticks out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 canny wait for you’s to go up Considering your record against us this season, well every season for a whole generation actually, I'm not surprised you feel that way.Imagine taking 0 points from 12 against a Rovers side managed by Barry Smith, a side so bad that it even let Ayr win a league title, a side so bad that it couldn't even manage a win out of four attempts away to Albion Rovers and Forfar.What a nightmare that must be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Berk Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The board are hopeless at picking managers. They sometimes get lucky, like with McKinnon - its the law of averages, not knowledge of the game. When Smith eventually jumps or is pushed he's almost certainly going to be replaced by another duffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
