Offshore Rover Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 8 hours ago, baillieinleeds said: It’s funny how The Rovers always seem to run out of steam mid way through a season, yet little Arbroath seemed until Saturday consistently fought for each other and remained top of the league. Yes they may fade, but up until the game at the weekend they showed what fighting for the cause meant. Why we can’t match that tenacity or fervour with a bigger budget than most teams in this league, it really boggles the mind. I’m not quite sure what you mean by this. Arbroath have lost 4 games all season. The fewest from anyone in the league, with both us and PT next with 7 games lost. They will from time to time play crap, and by the sounds of things they did play crap at the weekend. I would understand your point about fighting for the cause if they had lost 2/3/4 on the bounce. But surly one game lost and dropping a place doesn’t mean they have totally stopped fighting? We do have a history of fading out tho and I’m not really sure how we can solve that. Injury’s are always a big one here, we never quite get the luck of the draw in terms of that. I do wonder just how close we would be to the top (or how far in front) we would be if all our players stayed fit for the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this from the other side of the moon - Dick Campbell not signing Goodwillie highlights that he's a better manager than McGlynn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Dick Campbell is a better Arbroath manager than Mcglynn would be, but I wouldn't let him anywhere near a full time club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to say, I'm fucking delighed it'll stop the "Why have we got Keatings out on loan at Montrose" brigade on social media. He wasn't even appearing for them, let alone us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 We have got to stop McGlynn signing strikers. It would be more cost effective to employ someone on 40k a year just to identify and sign strikers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't been in Montrose's squad the last few weeks. Not sure if injured or otherwise, but fair to assume his career is finished. Scored about a quarter of his career goals against us. We sign him, he barely plays, we release a weird statement about his body being too weak and he's loaned to Montrose. What a disaster of a signing.

basher brash Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 On paper it looked like a good signing however his history of injuries should have been a warning sign for the Rovers , just another waste of money that we can barely afford. It just another poor signing made 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, all his career highlights involved fucking Raith Rovers so I suppose itvwas nice he got to find one last opportunity to do so this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
