Pretty dreadful all Rover ! Stranraer were not THAT good to be honest but we made it so easy for them it was Primary school playground defending stuff with every man for himself all over the pitch. Thank goodness for Cowdenbeath this year , but next season who will be saying thank goodness for Albion Rovers ?

What a complete waste of an afternoon. Sad too that someone from the SFA was there watching our goalkeeper for possible Scotland U21 call up.
A day to forget.

Dreadful. We are paying money to watch football not a bunch of lazy players who don't want to break a finger nail. If there's any truth to rumours of a considerable number of players not re-signing if Reid's in charge then that could explain it and I wouldn't blame them as he must have pissed of a lot of players. Regardless this squad is decent and have underachieved and the buck stops at the manager. Not good enough and not the man to take charge for next season for me. On a side note I'm told a club official moved the drum brigade from behind the goals to the stand. If so thanks for nothing. Atmosphere is one thing but mindless noise for the sake of it is another. Ruined any enjoyment of the day til they left. I'm often told they are the future but if they drive the rest of us away then it'll be a quiet future especially if they do what they usually do when they get older and clear off to the usual big clubs. An all round crap day.

1st goal couldn't believe their goalscorer had such a clear run whilst unmarked as the defence focused on shouting for off side rather than playing to the whistle. 2nd goal their striker left our defender standing easily enough and the rest was plain to see. one goal in particular saw a jinky wee player waltzing around our players with ease before burying in our net. A woeful day at the office.
We have not progressed this year at all but appreciate the need for good financial housekeeping and our manager to make best use of funds provided.

A totally insulting performance. I am so furious about it. That looked like a squad who had already decided they were leaving. If so, please leave. I paid £13 to watch a team who obviously could not give a f--k about playing for us. Lewis Wilson was the only one who gave any effort. Utter waste of time and money. So furious, as the great performances of the last few weeks have been cancelled by that shambolic training match today. I was totally ashamed of that team today. Utterly dreadful from start to finish.

I felt sorry for the Rovers fans that paid £13 to watch that performance, I'm a season ticket holder so thankfully did not have to pay. I also felt sorry for the fans that stood around that boy banging his drum, I stood beside the tunnel and it was making my ears ache from there. I heard a couple of folk at half time say surely the second half won't be any worse (team wise). I guess with hindsight now be careful what you wish for. What annoyed me most was the last goal Stranraer scored, not even half hearted tackles leading up to it, what an utter joke. Just a bad bad day to watch that game.

Is there something going on which we don't know about? Players already 'tapped' by other teams for next season? Is the manager still in charge?There must be some explanation for the complete shambles of yesterday: compare that disgrace to the win at Annan...

Agree with all of the above. Probably as poor a performance as I’ve seen from the Rovers, including the Brogan debacle. Yep it was that bad. Chris should be glad he spared his son from that otherwise he may well have had social services at his door.
The first Stranraer goal could have been offside but outside of that it was brutal stuff. The team were so far off it, disinterested and so poor that not even jaydee on illegal stimulants could defend that yesterday.
Woeful.

I think some sort of explanation or apology from someone would be 'helpful'. But there was something seriously wrong yesterday...

Ask the gaffer who's probably caused us to lose Binnie who was having a great season. One of many reasons Reid has to go.

Not a word [no interviews; nothing] from anyone at the club following the insulting performance of the 'team' on Saturday. Surely some sort of explanation is due?

I'd had enough and left at 0 - 2. Couldn't believe when I arrived home that it ended 0-5. That was the worst display by a Rovers team I've seen for many years. I've tried to look for positives but there are none. I'm well aware of the budget constraints on the manager but that team on Saurday are lacking any form of ball control, vision or the basic skills to compete in this Division. They are lacking a senior player on the pitch to guide the. I would stick with the manager but goodness me has he got a lot of work to do in the close season or we will be back to square one next season. Surely there are players out there with a better skill set than we currently have.
