microdave Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 My knickers are not in a twist. I was just highlighting your misinformed statement. The bookies are far better informed than you. I look forward to finishing the season above your lot, didn’t go too well for you last time we met and that was about 5 leagues apartLast time we met, you should've beaten us in the first game and deserved the win in the second. We got lucky by taking it to a replay. And I expect you will finish above us this season. But I'm not sure you know how little bookies know about L2. It's absolute guesswork and your odds will be based upon the record of the last two promotees rather than your own. I do wish Bonnyrigg the best for the coming season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've gone off on one for no reason here, hope you boys aren't this touchy when the season actually starts, could be a long year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again this was in the Championshop and again is an example that the bookies don’t have the slightest scooby about the Scottish lower league or the jobbers that ply their trade there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Silly to make predictions before squads have firmed up and teams get a few competitive games under their belt. But I’ll be silly… 1. Forfar 2. Stenhousemuir 3-7. Annan, Dumbarton, East Fife, Elgin, Stranraer 8-9. Bonnyrigg/Stirling 10. Albion Rovers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a foregone conclusion Rover's finish 10th, but someone has to finish bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty logical to project the team with the lowest budget in the league may finish bottom of the league, a team who conceded the most in the division last season no less. Certainly no need to cry about it as you have done. It's nothing personal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely my fellow Rover although we did fire a wee warning shot across the bow with a deserved win against Kelty yesterday. Of course we’ve been here before- the premier cup is a pseudo pre-season tournament. League Two will have a bit more of a traditional look this year with no moneybags Kelty/Cove lording it over us. I’m assuming Stenny are the club with the most cash with Stirling close behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
