ekok Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Excellent result from Spartans. Dug out 1-0 last week with 10 men, played extra time and pens away from home and did the business, respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leomessi1984 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Tough ask against an Albion who, although bottom, have a couple of real match winners in their squad. Mon the Spartans! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wish you come out on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossilYM Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 50/50 now v Albion Rovers Probably be healthy for Albion Rovers to drop down and take the pressure off the yearly battle with relegation. Having said, they'll now probably stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt that when I seen the scoreline, but are Rovers capable of 2 performances in a row? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi1977 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Really healthy crowd at this one... shows just how much interest there is in the game even when there is something to play for between two sides not exactly known for their sizeable crowds... Pretty poor game. Two sides that really didn't know how to play each other and a draw was maybe about right. Too many pointless high/long balls from Spartans that led to... nothing. Last 10 when they got the ball down they looked like they could cause some issues, but by then, Rovers mostly looked like they were defending the draw and are probably confident they can do the job next week. Absolute salute to the Spartans ultras who filled their wee part of the stand, drummed, bounced and sang all game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, yesterday wasn't much of a performance by eirher side! Rovers avoided defeat in the away leg... so if they can actually raise their game a bit, they must fancy next week with home advantage! Having said that... can't quite see Spartans being as poor as they were two weeks in a row either... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have memories of them being almost admitted to League setup in 2012 when all the crap was happening. Nought against Rovers, just that they finished bottom so should be relegated.

I'm a simple man with simple ideas. No argument with that! Spartans were basically front runners in setting up the pyramid as they have really wanted that place in L2 for some times... and yep, a lot thought they were hard done by in 2012 when a newly formed team jumped ahead of them... *cough* I don't mind Rovers either... but yes they should be relegated! And the HL/LL playoff should be a one-off neutral venue winner takes all match... maybe one day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
