Jan Vojáček Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Callum Wilson made himself quite an important player for you lot, didn't he? He's obviously back at us, but he barely played in his first spell. So I'm interested to hear how he developed at Cliftonhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The clean living guy Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 On 28/05/2023 at 14:42, LongTimeLurker said: Really? Name one former Lanarkshire (traditional boundaries minus Glasgow) ex-junior club people are screaming that about at the moment. Beyond Clydebank and Pollok, the former west region clubs that are by far the most likely to be heading towards the SPFL in the years are pretty much all in Ayrshire. There was a time when Cambuslang Rangers, Baillieston, Blantyre Vics and Larkhall Thistle would probably have been part of that sort of conversation if the pyramid had been introduced a few decades earlier but not nowadays. I doubt it would have been any different for Albion Rovers, if they had been a junior club. Just way too easy to get to Ibrox and Parkhead. You seem to miss the point. When potential is discussed on here it is clubs from large towns who attract crowds of a few hundred with stadiums similar to cliftonhill that are put forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fake news story promoted by the Daily Record on the basis of their sectarian tendencies when writing about football. Simple as that.

San Starko Rover Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Shamrock Rovers Coatbridge, what an absolute load of shite. I was just thinking to myself the other day, what West Scotland lacks is a team with Irish roots they can get behind. If this idea is genuine he’s been taking far too many disco-biscuits there’s already Celtic, Hibs and loosely Dundee Utd covering Scots with Irish roots. Where the hell would a support for Shamrock Rovers Coatbridge be coming from. Certainly not Coatbridge as it’s absolutely rammed full of Celtic fans and the few Albion Rovers fans would either chuck it or start a phoenix club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it’s a question that can be answered until the playing squad is finalised. If they had the same squad as last season then the would absolutely be top 4 at least. They are the best team to be relegated into the LL from league 2. However I’m not sure how much of their squad will still be there at the start of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know when they planted in Drumonye think they had a few flits before securing that piece of land for Asda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
