Dundee have a really nice, understated one which is just navy blue and the badge on the side. I need to wear a mask all day, every day at work and would’ve loved to have a Rovers branded one but the colour is just bad. Said that when I got mine a few weeks ago. However, better with than without. It's a bit like the Christmas jumper. You feel obligated to wear it despite being a bit in your face 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Simmons was capable of having some excellent games. Problem with players like that is that they can become passengers if it isn't working out for them. Some players can get by with their work rate even if it isn't their day, Simmons just isn't one of those guys. That's not to say he was lazy, he was just seemed to be one of those players that was either brilliant or anonymous. Scored some vital goals though. Was always surprised at how much he was hated by Dunfermline. Did some fans not go around with weird cut out masks of his face when he played for Alloa? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Not sure about the masks but there was a section of our support who spent more time abusing him than focusing on what was actually happening on the pitch. The kenny era saw a particular distinct disconnect between fans and players and he was far from the only one who fans were fed up of. Kenny had lost the dressing room and it was clearly on show. The exact details of that era are complex but IMO Simmons did lack desire at times which obviously made him a target. The reason that hatred continued so long and as magnified as it was could be due to the timing of it. Of that squad he had been around long enough for fans to have made up their mind on him but not long enough for him to have be given some slack due to being part of more positive times. He was also one of the few(if any I’m struggling to think of others) that stick around in scottish football for much after. There was a group of players kenny brought over from Ireland that ended up returning. A group that were getting close to retirement and some young players that largely drifted out of the game, some stayed at the club under McIntyre and were able to rebuild reputations. Simmons was in the position of being unpopular, not in a position to improve that and still playing at our level so couldn’t be forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
