With a decent goal difference then it’d probably be enough to see us through. That said, if results go as expected and we lose to Livi and Alloa beat Brechin midweek then its four teams on 6 points and a final day shoot out. We’re more than capable of beating and losing to both teams but I’d be disappointed if we can’t win one of the two games to have a great shot at the next round. The League Cup is pretty much glorified friendlies the first two games and then go for it if you’ve won both. Any word on tickets and numbers for Livingston on Wednesday? Unless I’ve missed them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Can confirm Ando still leaps like a salmon. Took in the Brora v Forfar game today up at Dudgeon Park to tick it off the list and had a good chat with Grant on the sidelines while snapping the game. A familiar face in Wayne Henderson in the dugout too. Edited July 17, 2021 by Martin . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 2 hours ago, Specky Ginger said: I, like most others on here, have slated Davidson's disciplinary record over the years, but I'll maybe wait to see what happened before passing judgement, given his last two red cards for the Rovers were a sick joke (Todorov playacting and no contact against Hearts, which was later rescinded). It was a straight red for a foul, therefore it might have been a case of taking one for the team. From the Brechin Thread: “I take it you haven’t seen the incident because that’s pretty unfair on Davo. Michael Paton played a terrible ball straight to a Cowdenbeath player and he had pretty much no option but to put a challenge in or it was a certain goal. Paton was totally to blame for it.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Fernandy Mendy teasing that he’s got a new deal with a Scottish side, but not saying who. I sincerely hope it’s a team I don’t mind, since they’ll have to become my second team on his arrival. Hope he does well! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Delighted he'll be back in Scotland for at least another season. Hopefully he can get back along to Starks Park at some point. It's weird, he played probably less than 25 games for the club but he seemed to just "get it". He came in a compete unknown and threw himself head first into Scottish football. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Good to see Mendy has another club here in Scotland, interesting to see who it is. Came across as a guy who just had a good attitude, didn’t work out for him here but he took the chance to move to Scotland when we offered it so hopefully it works out for him at his next club. For a lad who didn’t play that many games he certainly managed to win over a lot of fans. Best of luck Nando welcome back anytime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Mendy had a lot of ability; his reputation never recovered from his initial lack of experience of the Scottish game at Championship level. I have no doubt he'll be a big asset in the 1st or 2nd division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 With a good run in a team at l1, l2 level Nando should shine. A good guy and does have everything required to have a good career. Obviously don't know where he's going but quite surprised that he hasn't ended up at Kelty already. Seemed to do well with them althoughFerguson isn't in charge there anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Please let Gullan be the loan[emoji1695]I'd be happy with Gullan coming back. I don't rate him as highly as some others but on his day he's a very good player for this level. He just needs to find a bit more consistency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonRover Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Worry that Spencer and the new fella are very similar in terms of recycling the ball and sitting deeper. We were always going to miss Regan but felt the new fella was taking the space that Brad would generally hold and subsequently Brad tried to play further forward and it doesn’t suit him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 As McGlynn says, we'll have a terrific squad, decent forwards, midfield sorted and Matthews still to return and great looking defence once Musonda McKay and Lang are fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
