Always nice to see former players/managers at Rosewell. Just a pity Elgin were non league back then as Albion Rovers remain ww s only league scalp in the Scottish Cup. Surprised at that statistic-WW has some really good teams in the 80’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took manys a league team to a replay but never managed to follow it up. A midweek 2 1 victory in 1987 remains our only league giant killing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowin In the Wind Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Looking forward to the game on Saturday (weather permitting). Will be a tough one for the Brox. Not much between the sides when they last met at the Albyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even at that age I realised how sh!te it was being a Hearts fan, still had all the tops, posters, etc. but only because that’s how I was brought/dragged up Doesn't help I moved around a lot when I was younger or my main TEAM would probably have been WW, loved going to Rosewell but never really get the chance now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past it many a time before, but that was prior to starting watching Musselburgh so never ventured inside. Really liked the set up, good seating areas. Pitch a bit bumpy, but I’d always go for a park like that as opposed to 3G. I appreciate why clubs go for this and I am sure Musselburgh will change over in the future, but grass is best!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d usually disagree with you, I like a good 3/4G surface for a number of reasons but after seeing the (recently renewed) pitch at Fauldhouse this season and how it’s managed anything that’s been thrown at it with no hassle at all, it is possible to have a good, consistent grass pitch too. Something WW really need to look at once they’ve finished paying for these lights! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Looking forward to welcoming you guys to NCP on the 18th. Havn't seen you play since our first meeting last season at your place. Results look to have picked up a bit in the last few weeks for you. Always liked Janczyck at the Rose and Swanson was a thorn in our side in the EOS so some familiar faces to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covering yer tracks from the Kelty Hill o Beath semi you've predicted I see It'll be a tough ask on us for sure but it's no coincidence our results have improved since Swanson signed,though to be fair the games we haven't won and from what I've seen I'd say it's only Dunbar where we deserved nothing. Ye never know in this game,yous might be distracted by the pressures of trying to win the league and you've had a few cup shocks since turning senior. Heres hoping Mon the welfarrrrre!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres hoping Unfortunately for you Kelty don't have a game the following Saturday - it falls in the first midweek of a free fortnight for them (they and Gala brought their game up to week past Saturday) so with 11 days until their next game v Bonnyrigg there may be less pressure to rest anyone. I fostered similar 2 hopes in the previous round but they blew us away despite rotating various players. "Anything possible" though and they're previously been stung by LTHV, Spartans, Threave, 'Shire, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
