Not really. It's been the old Rovers story this year: world beaters one week; panel beaters the next.

... and deservedly so. We were abysmal, but the Uni played really well and dominated large parts of the game. The winner did look well offside, but these things happen. That's nine points for the season now, four of them from Rovers. We really are pish against underdogs.

I'm pretty certain the signing deadline is 31st March at this level.

If he's a natural left back, I reckon he'll go straight in. Our only natural left back is just back from injury, and actually has played further forward since he came back. Is he coming out to us as he's likely to be released in the summer and we're his level, or is he on a longer contract?

I had this recently. Daft woman asked why I couldn't just step onto the busy road as her dog gets anxious when it meets other pedestrians. That was a firm "Naw" as well

Explain the situation when you get to the gate. You may get lucky and get someone pragmatic who is willing to take you at face value. Quite looking forward to seeing the Shire again; your support were always good fun in the days when we were closer rivals

To be fair, I think most of us do think like that. We deserved to go down, and we're unlikely to be back anytime soon, so might as well get some good days out from it.

We've no chance of going back up for the foreseeable future. I quite like the look of the South Challenge Cup though; doing well in that might be our best chance of success in the coming years; cue us getting fcuked out by Newburgh next month. Coatbridge Shamrock hasn't had the death it deserves yet, but it's hard to see how it could succeed given our ownership structure. People with good intentions aren't able to purchase control, which means the same should hold true for fantasists.

I can. It's a nice easy 'frighten the horses' type story, with some renta-quote on hand to give it some 'credence' in between knocking up a howling badge on his ZX Spectrum. Thankfully, the same Rovers share structure that makes new investment from those with better intentions almost impossible, has seen the death of this too.

Yeah, I think that's how most if us see it, or will come to see it as the new season approaches. We're in the Lowland League, because we aren't good enough for League 2 at the moment, and we'll probably be here for a while. Best to make the most of it.

Really? We were awful and Spartans seem to know how to stop us playing (fair play to them for that). I have a really bad feeling that we might be fcuked!

I know lots of Rovers fans (me included) boycotted the last visit, but today is too important to miss. Another must win for us, but I do have a bad feeling about this one. East Fife having the chance of cementing their playoff slot worries me.

He's a smashing talent but the Premier League is some step up, so I'm not sure I see him rampaging past top-flight right backs next season.. However, over time (assuming he does get time and isn't expected to perform within a year or be let go to find his way down the leagues, like has happened to a few that have moved on from us to the top level in the past), he could be a very good full-time player His only weakness is he can be a little huffy if things aren't going away, but that's improved over his time with us. He's also pretty much had to carry us at times in terms of a goalscoring threat this year, so maybe getting annoyed with lesser players is understandable. Now he's earned us a development fee, his next trick needs to be to keep us up; that will earn him the freedom of Coatbridge (I'll make the "that'll teach him" joke myself)

Aye, but when you're desperate, you're desperate. There wouldn't be too many willing to put their reputations on the line, by risking taking someone else's side into the Lowland League. Here's hoping he can shake the players up a bit.

Panic? Frightened of being the board to take the club down, so covering their arse a bit?
