Vodka Vic Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Tough one this for Rovers. I can see us coming a cropper here as Annan will be strong on set pieces. We score goals but ship them too. Would love to see us keeping a clean sheet as I think we are dangerous going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers programme boy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Annan should be embarrassed with there gamesmanship today rolling about like they’re being shot every minute and wasting time at every goal kick and throw in with the referee to scared to show any cards to the Annan team.Plus the goalkeeper falling over screaming trying to get our striker sent of for nothing and even a few Annan fans chuckled at that. I think even Annan fans will admit there players were a disgrace to Scottish football today. Not to worry about the referee because the assessor was there today and if he watched the same game as us the referee will be in the lowland league next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feared for Annan early on after their slow start and a bad error led to them falling behind but Rovers couldnt deal with the long high ball into their box for Nade or Muir all day. Keystone Cop defending saw them fall 3-1 behind. No idea about the penalty award from my angle but Rovers didnt otherwise look like scoring again. Annan's style wasnt pretty but it was effective and they deserved to win. The time wasting was obvious but no more than I would expect from any other side holding onto a 3-2 lead. I would expect the same from our players. Aaron Taylor was pretty embarrassing though. I was embarrassed for him to be honest, the unnecessary rolling around was that bad! Pretty pathetic. Didnt notice it from any of the outfield players though. Edited August 17, 2019 by Skyline Drifter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Another goal fest. Unfortunately the wee Rovers on the wrong end this time. I will be in Glasgow next weekend, I think I am going to take myself along to Cliftonhill and watch the Rovers take on Brechin. Watch, it'll be a 0-0 draw now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had that been Rovers yesterday, I'd have been turning a blind eye to it, or even laughing at it. Anyway, it wasn't Rovers as we threw away a decent start and lead. Once again, we failed to deal with simple balls into the box. The Gayfield-style wind didn't help but Annan managed to cope with that so it's not an excuse. Still, as is becoming my mantra, it's a hell of an improvement on the Year Brogan! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
