Welcome back to the Oh No No No podcast. Robbie is joined by Leslie and Allan to preview Saturday's visit of Mark Wilson's high flying Jags to Stark's Park. The Maryhill side arrive at Stark's in fine fettle having gone unbeaten in 10, and with Rovers being on the end of three consecutive 3-0 losses it's safe to say this is a slightly more nihilistic episode! A note on the Intro for this episode....

The Rovers’ October of horrors continued on Friday, with a real Fright Night in evidence at East End Park, with Barry Robson’s men succumbing to a 2-0 defeat which, in truth, could’ve been even worse.

The Oh No No No podcas...

There was no feast of football at the Albert Bartlett Stadium on Saturday, but Blair and Duncan do their best to talk through the points of interest that did come through in the 0-0 draw.

Never has one man called Lloyd been so lambasted since Ari Gold's assistant in the late 00s/early 10s comedy series Entourage. While Raith travelled down to Greenock to face Dougie Imrie's unbeaten Morton in a showdown, it was ultimately the man in the middle who was conspired to give this podcast most of it's talking points. A collector's item header from Dylan Easton was enough to separate the s...

Having had to wait until December to see a win on the road in the league last season, Rovers travelled down to Somerset Park to face an Ayr side many tipped to be best of the rest.

Robbie is joined by Allan, Blair and Scott to tal...
