Need to look at your team here, you have a more than decent squad, one which should be top half come end of season, but are sitting 0 points from 5 games, why are you not saying we were really bad we lost the lead v a very poor Albion rovers team I agree. I went along today because I wasn't hardcore enough to travel over six hours to witness a 3-0 defeat in a Force 6 at an industrial estate in Aberdeen. However with Wharton, East, Osadalor, Docherty, Peters and Hawke, it all felt quite familiar (where was Fotheringham?). The ref got a lot of abuse for the red cards, but although I thought the first was just a robust 50/50, it was high. The others fair enough, but it did spoil it as a competition. Hilariously entertaining as a spectacle. Stirling Albion do seem to be less than the sum of their parts this season. Good to see Peters score a goal, it was an instinctive turn and shot, but shouldn't have troubled the keeper from that distance. Other than that I just didn't see a goal threat. What little we did see of Bikey was terrifying though. Rovers quite exciting to watch going forward and pleased to see Smart at the centre of everything. I feel we offloaded him too quickly but he does seem to have developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Nichols tackle was any more than a yellow. It wasn't high it was on the ground but he went into the tackle showing his studs. Wilsons red was a second yellow which I didn't realise. The new laws on handball are farcical but the same for all teams. Frustration about the inconsistency of refereeing isn't sour grapes. I (and a lot of others) saw many positives in our performance today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pastmaster Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gregor Fotheringham has left the club as he is moving to England to take up a graduate engineers post with Rolls Royce. He goes with Rovers best wishes, having played such a big part in `The Great Escape` of last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that doesn’t think that’s a red should stop watching football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason King Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That's a leg breaker, anyone supporting that really needs to go to Specsavers or start watching Rugby instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That's a leg breaker, anyone supporting that really needs to go to Specsavers or start watching Rugby instead.Have to agree, have read quite a few comments on Facebook from fans who are saying it wasn’t a red and KR came out and said it after the match but I’m struggling to see their reasoning in truth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaver1 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It was McLean who was sent off for the handball. Straight red. Can someone clever tell us what the laws now say on the matter? Was it a straight red? If that is the rules, then the rule is an ass.Least said about Kevin Nicol the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you’re right, it was McLean. A straight red must mean the ref saw it as a deliberate attempt to deny a goal, which is ridiculous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_the_rover Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Oh dear, who was that?

Basically for a pen to be awarded the handball doesnt need to be deliberate team only need to gain an advantage, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a Suarez-type save on the line but would have gone in if his arm wasn't out. Red card seems harsh now, viewing the clip: but I don't know what rhe law now is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza81 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 If the referee deemed that he was stopping the ball going towards the goal it is a red card. Can only assume this is what it was given for? A yellow card for handball is only given for stopping the ball going to an opponent or trying to score illegally I’m sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stop a goal scoring opportunity by committing any foul it's an automatic red card, that's always been in the laws of the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our physio [who is also an excellent P&B poster] wasn't in attendance nor was his assistant. Not sure why that was but fair play to Stirling for agreeing to help. Now to the game and we were woeful and only won due to playing 9 men for long periods; even then, we were far from convincing. Stirling though were really spirited in adversity and whilst they'll be worried about being adrift at the bottom they have a level of fight that we didn't have when in a similar situation last season. Goalkeeper was murder for the goal and if PJ Morrison is available for loan, we really should be getting that done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
