Firs Farewell
It was a match to forget with three sent off including assistant manager Paul Martin and three goal conceded to bottom side East Stirling. Not the best way to play in what could be Rovers final trip to Firs Park.

Next weeks team selection will be all the more difficult with Willie Martin and Alan Benton being suspended for being red carded. Referee Willie Hornby and his nearside assistant should but shall probably not be censured by referee supervisor John Fleming who attended the game.

Another Draw
Rovers one all draw with Elgin City was their fourth draw in five matches. John Gemmell got the equaliser from the penalty spot ten minutes after City went ahead.

More Extensions
Goalkeeper David Scott and defender Alan Benton have extended their contracts for another season.


(19/3/08)

Reid Signs On
Alan Reid has become the latest player to commit himself to Cliftonhill for next season by signing an extended contract. Robert Walker, Chris Hughes, Callan Adam and John Gemmell had previously signed up for next term.

Match Rearranged
The Stranraer match so controversially postponed on Tuesday shall now go ahead next Tuesday (18th March) at Cliftonhill with a 7.30 kick-off. One interesting thing to note is that the referee is not the same one who called off the previous attempt to play the tie.

Race Night Update
A reminder that the supporters' trust dog racing is being held in the lounge at Cliftonhill this Friday (14th March) commencing at 7.30pm. If you don't yet have a ticket don't worry as you can pay on arrival (£2 per head including pie & peas).

Things to remember - bring money to bet on the dogs, bring your own booze as there is no drinks licence! There shall be some soft drinks available but best bring your own to guarantee satisfaction.

"Ridiculous" Call Off
Referee Alan Boyd made what one fan who walked on the pitch was a ridiculous decision to call off tonight's match against Stranraer. The whistler judged the pitch was unplayable despite both sides apparently being happy to go ahead. The pitch was soft after rain in recent days but despite it cutting up would have been fine in seemingly everyone else's opinion.

To call off a match against such far travelled sides at around 6.30pm is the latest of several such decisions this season.


(8/3/08)

EF Game ON
Due to heavy rain in Fife this match is in doubt, the referee has asked for the pitch to be spiked and hopefully this shall drain away the excess water.

**Update**

Game is on!


(6/3/08)

New Signing
Bobby Barr has joined on loan until the end of the season from St. Johnstone. The 19 year-old winger started the game in Elgin and was subbed late on.

Oh Dear
For the second time in four days Rovers lost to a side who climbed off the bottom of the table after beating them by a single goal. It was former manager Jim Chapman's first trip back to Cliftonhill since being sacked in the Summer and his new charges Dumbarton took all three points back with them.

McDougall Signs
Rovers have signed 18 year-old defender Jamie McDougall until the end of the season. Jamie was on the bench for the last couple of matches as a trialist. His last club was Alloa Athletic.
