I merely quoted the information received from the opposition hierarchy last week. Unfortunately on very rare occasions I am wrong but as usual it is not of my doing.
One cannot help perfection, isn't that right Buckie 🤔

Think the crowd numbers are the least of our worries!

At least we can concentrate on the league now.

The 600 away support predicted by Peter McLurg, alas did not come about. I thought we played our best stuff for a while the first half without creating too much. Second half very disappointing. Two pathetic goals conceded. McMillan sent on when we’re 2-0 and lost the game . All in all it wasn’t a shock and the club have gone backwards under Sandy. He should have headed down the tunnel after the game, that was only going to end on tears coming over to the fans. Great post Bucky

A hammer blow for everyone associated with Albion Rovers today. Progression was so, so important for morale, to keep the season alive, and on the off-chance of securing a “big” draw in future rounds. Unfortunately, it’s curtains for 2024/2025. Anyone who can’t see that is ignorant or stupid.
I can’t understand why Bright wasn’t, at the very least, on the bench today and why young Adam McMillan wasn’t given a start. He’ll be scunnered. As will, I’d imagine, Alex McCaw - he sometimes lacks an end product, but his pace would’ve caused some problems for Talbot’s full backs today.
The management team’s behaviour at the end was inexcusable. There’s heat of the moment (we’re all guilty of that!) then there’s anger, delusion, and aggression. And it ain’t the first time.
For me, confidence is lost in the leadership of Sandy. Sad to say that, as I was of the belief he could effect change, but his time is up I’m afraid. But he won’t walk, not a chance, and I’m not sure that’ll change any time soon.
I was part of the Board that gave Sandy a new “deal” back in December 2023 to give him time to build a squad that could compete in the league and cups. But that summer there the recruitment was left wanting and we’ve regressed, stalled, and are quickly flatlining.
There would be no shortage of candidates applying if the post was vacant. Trust me. A real opportunity for someone to make a name for themselves and turn things around. My preferred choice was Brown Ferguson when we sacked Brian. Someone of that ilk wouldn’t be a bad move.
Challenging times on and off the park lie ahead.

Paton on before McMillan ……deary me.

It looks as if Prince is out of favour thus now, someone did suggest to me yesterday he picked up an injury a couple weeks ago at training, but no idea if there’s anything in that. Some Rovers fans don’t rate him but I think he does his best work coming off the bench. Talbot were a big strong side but were nothing startling brilliant, the big man would have been a good option.

The day after the night before...
I think we were the better team, we controlled the game in large spells and had more chances.
The two goals we lost are beyond soft. The first we had 6 players watching the ball drop in the net. The second Reid should do better there.
They were a typical junior team. Hoofing it Iver the top and a two quick wingers.
Saying we had chances I think we had 3 shots on target. So we should be making their keeper work.
Duncan needs to be dropped. Every 50/50 he loses, doesn't fight and throw himself into tackles.
This was a perfect game for Bright to come off the bench.
Still wondering what Paton brings? Experience is good when you are leading a game bot chasing it.
Poor day at the office. A massive opportunity missed.

One of the worst games of football I’ve ever watched, only September we’re out of the SPFL Trust Trophy, out the Scottish Cup but hey at least we have the South Challenge Cup! It’s the same crap every weekend and the fans quite rightfully at the end showed their frustrations towards the manager and he seemed he couldn’t handle it telling fans to say it to his face, was embarrassing to say the least, he should’ve just walked off the pitch and went down the tunnel, are fans at this club not allowed to voice their opinion towards the manager now? Should fans just stand there every weekend and be happy with this crap?

No we won't go quietly into the night as they say. Clark (and his sidekick) should be resigning with immediate effect. Yesterday was the last chance saloon for me and he failed. Won't be back until he's gone. Over to him and the club to do the right thing.

All seems a bit hopeless at the moment. A squad assembled to ‘challenge’ looks well short of the consistency and calibre required. New players come in, others are pushed to the sidelines, nothing really changes. Team identity? Not sure we have one. Not sure Sandy would claim we have one either (other than decent bunch of blokes). And the nagging impression remains, that so embedded are Sandy and his associates at the club that he can stay in post as long as he chooses, come what may. Comes across as a decent and honourable guy, so I’d like to hear from him how and when things will improve, rather than just bemoaning the usual error-ridden disappointment. And what do the BoD think? Let’s be hearing from you, gentlemen (and lady).

I always thought of sandy as a pretty decent guy, but after yesterday I cant anymore, his behaviour was abhorrent and I personally have lost all respect for him and I know others have too.

In truth he shouldn’t even have the decision to make if he stays or goes given his behaviour yesterday. The board should be doing that for him. Also got to ask yourself what it’s doing for him health wise if his stress levels have got to that stage. Best all round for him to move on.
Jimbo is also right. I think more than a few will be giving the place a miss now while he’s in charge.
