I'd be keeping the likes of Helendar and Ramsey well away from tomorrow's match.  

Only due to the plastic pitch I assume.  They need game time to get up to speed.  Tomorrow, against inferior opposition, is the perfect time to get them minutes in the legs because both will be needed soon enough.

Rock and a hard place - they desperately need game time, Annan have a plastic pitch. I'd play them for part of the game as we are running out of runway in getting these players up to match fitness

And the opposition too.  

 

I'd prefer us to set up a couple of bounce matches for them but that's just my opinion.

Experienced professional players know themselves if they are ok with plastic pitches, aye they could still get injured, but they are at no more risk than the Annan players are, who play on that surface all the time! so for me if they say they are ok with it then get on with it! we are running out of matches for Ramsey to get match fit! he is only on loan to us and was brought in to help us win the league, if wants to play then play him

Plastic pitch and we will probably rest a few 8/1 for a draw at ninety minutes or a shock result at 33/1 , we need to be on our toes this will be like a final to Annan .

By the way we are 1/50

Anyone else remember losing 2-1 to Annan at Ibrox?

 

I can't remember anything about the match (thankfully) but do remember looking at a fellow Bear, sitting a few seats away, just before the final whistle and us both shaking our heads in disbelief.  One of the lowest points.

Brother walked out after their second goal one bloke saying there's still forty minutes to go

Yes remember being stunned at the result,but it was not the only one during "the journey",which was always going to throw up what I would call hiccups.

With the quality we have now it is unthinkable that there might be another Berwick.

Our team that day is listed below. Still gives me shivers. Think we did get "revenge" and beat them 2-0 a few years later.
