I'd like to see him involved in a takeover of sorts just for the absolute fucking seeth it would generate. Get him and Val to team up for a takeover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Credit to Murray and the side. When we lined up at Cove with Scott Brown at centre back, it wasn't looking particularly likely we would be 15th points clear of 9th place with 2 games in hand by the time April came around. Not using that as some major barometer of success, but when you think of the challenges presented this season, to be still (just about) in the hunt is good going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember the radio reporter at the game that day waxing lyrical about Cove while commenting it looks like a long hard season ahead for Rovers, so to be in this position with 7 games left is pretty good going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 One of the biggest differences from start of the season has been Ross Millen, he's become an excellent right back for us this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more impressive when you consider the pretty negative reaction to him signing and the shaky start including giving away that penalty early in the season. He's come back from that and totally settled in and links up well with Connolly down the right side. Similar with Brown, wasn't exactly a positive response to him being named captain but he's been utterly fantastic, player of the season for me. Easton again took a little to settle in, but since then has been a key part of the team. And for a flair/creative player his workrate is immense. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Brown keeping company with Livingstone, I’d say it would be a very different tale than a takeover if Val got involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 There's zero chance Val will come back. You had kids on twitter putting some really inflammatory stuff on twitter last year. There was some pretty daft accusations that she'd used the whole incident to promote a new book, completely ignoring that she's a reasonably successful author in her own right. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well aware, just pointing out that Brown’s company at the match would be unnecessarily inflammatory after last years travails. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 To be fair the Rovers support is fairly even handed when it comes to politically minded high profile supporters. Happy to seethe about Val McDermid and Gordon Brown equally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s useful to have some supporters with worldwide influence and we shouldn’t unnecessarily antagonise them. However, the mob take a different approach.

Any high profile Rovers fans are a good thing as far as I’m concerned and to be fair, they have both put their money where their mouth is at some point. Brown during Reclaim the Rovers and Val through sponsorship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Yea, it would be good to have Val back, but that bridge is likely burnt at both ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Time for Murray to set a new target. Even if the playoffs are beyond us, try and get 5th place and maintain a top half finish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAITHROVERS84 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 It’s going to be a tougher championship next season and worrying if we’re not in a position to strengthen. Harsh to say it but Vaughn isn’t the answer. Spencer has barely had a good game all season, Gullan no, Ethan Ross flatters to deceive, Isma fat and immobile, Akio isn’t natural in front of goal etc etc. Brown, Stanton, Easton, Connolly, Nolan, Lang and Jammer is the base of the squad to work from imo. Poplatnik would’ve hit double figures for goals this season if he was still around. The midfield is good but it’s crying out for an Akinyemi or Brian Graham type up top. Murray needs to take a large part of responsibility for that shambles tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
