sam2304 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Sad to see Davie Provan passed away yesterday. I was only a year old when he led Rovers to the title but I gather from speaking to older fans that it was a golden time in our history. Thoughts with his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam2304 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 An important 3 games ahead to round off the calendar year for Rovers.Away to Queens ParkAway to StennyHome to East Fife on Christmas EveThree winnable games if approached in the right manner, however I'd be happy 7 points over those games. It would leave us sitting with 28 points at the middle point of the season, more than half of last years total of 49.Speculation I know but I think Darren will be thinking along the same lines. Of course the weather could well ruin things still [emoji849] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pastmaster Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 There was a club AGM last night but not heard of any reports as to how it went. Yes the Giloolys have gone - some months ago although I believe Terry in still involved on ground affairs, h & s etc. No idea about SK. Current BOD for election last night - Ronnie Boyd (Chair), Eddie Hagerty, Paul Reily, Ian Benton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airdrieman Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You guys must be pretty disappointed losing Steven Boyd. Been your best and most threatening player and tore us apart on Monday. Any chance of bringing someone else in or replacing him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a good player for us - and others - in the nineties and was a leader on the park. No surprise when he entered management and although had a few false starts, succeeded at Cliftonhill. Got us promoted via the play-offs and kept us up, again winning the play-offs. Articulate, decent chap. Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, as close to a legend as you can get at Rovers, and easily the most open manager we've had; talking to the guy was an absolute education. I'd also be interested in why the OP is asking. Certainly, Paul Martin would be an upgrade on Barry Ferguson in numerous ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_the_rover Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 What do Albion Rovers fans think of Ex- Albion Rovers manager Paul Martin? Jesus Christ reincarnated some say he invented football. Some say he created just the crossbar. Personally I think he loved getting one over Dumbarton and Queens Park.The statement club legend doesn't do him any justice. On top of that he's really just a really nice guy.Heard through someone reliable that he was offered the queens park job before gus mcpherson and knocked it back.

sam2304 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Echo what the lads have said above. He was captain when I first started going to games with my dad. A warrior on the park but a gent off it, I remember going up and asking him for his autograph when I was only wee and he chatted to me for a bit.And of course went down in Rovers folklore when he navigated us through a tricky playoff double header against Queens Park and Annan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Vic Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Paul Martin is the best manager Rovers had IMO. Got the club promoted on the lowest budget in the league- produced and built a team of quality and character. To boot he kept the club up the following season with the last kick of the ball. The first post war Rovers team to go up and stay up. Got involved in numerous dust ups with match officials and coaches from opposing clubs- always had plenty of time for the fans. What's not to like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I well remember his "Bobby needs a full-time social worker" quote. I wonder who fills that role for Bobby nowadays, or has he finally grown up.
