Saw them earlier, looks like KB is ready to top himself.

I was in the old stand just a few yards from him. He seemed to be as wild about the refereeing as much as his team falling out of the game. Everytime Airdrie got a bad decision in the second half (which was almost non stop) he was out at the touchline waving his arms in fury.

Thought a draw would have suited yesterday but without the "penalty" I just couldn't see rovers scoring. Good points were the performance in the first 30 - 40 mins, Marc Smyth, Dosser,Hollis, Donelly, Kb not playing waddel and homer played well. We were much better in the first half and homer should have put us ahead in the first 5 minutes but his shot was perfect for fahey. The only missing link in the first half was kev mac at right mid.

Goal was well taken but we didn't really push on enough from it.


Second half same old defensive tactics but we could have been quite dangerous on the break with a quick proper right midfielder ( dougall ) instead of a slow backward passing midfielder. Penalty was a dive , Hislop's wave to us at the end just rubbed it in. Second goal was quite good but we just backed right off. Think it was sharpe. Wouldn't be calling for blacks job yet though, we were better than raith yesterday but just didn't finish it off. Not very impressed

Make your mind up. You were better than Raith for most of the first half, and we were better than you for most of the second half.

I think most Rovers fans would concede that a draw would have been fair.

At half time I would have been delighted if we got a draw. I thought it wasn't going to be our day.

We haven't drawn this season have we? It's won 7 and lost 3 is it not?

Yes, won 7, four of them on the road. The two home defeats right after the international weekend knocked us out of our stride. Theres still something lacking at Stark's, despite yesterdays win. That first half was as bad as the Ross and Ayr shows. The other defeat was the Central Park embarassment.

What's the news on Carcary, has anyone heard anything? Like, is he out for the Alloa game, out until Christmas, or the rest of the season?

I'm quite sure he'll be back next week bearing in mind it was an elbow/punch to the face. Maybe a black eye but he'll be fine.

Ta. You must have seen the incident better than me. I thought he crashed into the barrier and duffed his shoulder after Lovering's assault.

Really? I thought the opposite, despite the last two home games, and despite the fact we've lost on every previous occasion we've gone behind, they responded to it very well this time, and even at 1-0 down I wouldn't have taken the draw. (I know that's easily said with hindsight but I thought it at the time too.)

Yes. Mind you, I am probably basing that on the first 20-25 minutes when Airdrie had all the possetion. We picked up towards the end of the half and started to more of the ball.

A very good result though and I am looking forward to playing Alloa next week. Hopefully we can keep our wee run of recent results going.

I'd actually forgotten about that goal. That was a peach.

Saw him in Harlem later on. Took this on my phone. He just gets younger and younger.

I wasn't at that one. I'm having to think back a long way for a better home goal.

I seem to remember Stephen Adam scoring a belter for us against someone a few years back.

Wasn't that a freekick against Peterhead? Didn't he go to East Stirling after that? Looked a decent player...
