Great effort by the team again today - more than held their own against a physical Clyde side. We more than matched them - they must have got a rollicking from Danny Lennon at half time because they came out and seemed to step up a gear. No ground lost today - still more than capable of winning our target games. Also as mentioned the Clyde Yob culture that seems to haunt them just now - message for them would be see you next year as Peterhead will probably go up !

Agree with all of that. Another 2 good saves from PJ kept us in it at 0-0. Rovers easily the better side in the first half. Clyde were well fired up in the second.
Their goal came from a free kick that never was with Goodwillie throwing himself about like a rag doll. Really good ball into the box was left by the defence for the keeper...... and by the keeper for the defence....... Net result was the ball clattered off McNiff for 1-0 and that was it. I bet Kevin is raging at that.
Defensively we are rock solid. Plenty no nonsense clearances which leaves us playing the game in our opponents half - I like that and it suits us. Osadolor and Byrne up front are lively and kept Clyde on their toes today. They didn't create many chances but there's enough endeavour there to do so against poorer defenders than Clyde's.
Good chance in the first half when Clyde played the sort of kamikaze pass across the back 4 we would have been proud of ourselves a few months ago and although we stole in we couldn't finish. Osadolor created space for himself in the box in the second half and hit a fierce shot off the post at 0-0.
We look like a proper football team. Even if we do finish 10th there's no way EK will be anywhere near as cocky as they would have been a few weeks ago. Cannot believe things have turned round so fast.
Massive credit for that must go to Kevin and his team for getting rid of the dross, replacing it with better quality and organising the team so they look like a professional outfit. Hats off to him for that.
Crowd was 560 today which is good. I mentioned the neanderthal nature of the Clyde fans after the 1-0 (0-3) game previously. Today they were just as bad. Guy near me with a wean about 3 years old. The wean only knew about 6 words and five of them were swear words! Unfortunately no life guard on the gene pool.

So much effort from the lads today. Proud if their effort. Deserved at keast a draw. Very poor attitude from Clyde fans who are so rude and angry. I'd hate to see them if they were at the foot of the table. Big n arch next week against Queens Park. Let's win this and put done daylight between us and Berwick. Also, great coverage on Sky Sports today. Peter Most of them went there when they were at the foot of the table just a couple years ago They have a real grudge against us I think its jealousy as we have been up and down leagues last couple years and they have been nowhere. Horrible bunch of people

Great analysis D7. Bang on. This was a hopeful 1 point at best but the way we played it should've been 3. Onwards and upwards for the 3 points next week.
As you know I've been a critic all season long but cant believe the turnaround myself. Most welcome though.
Come on the MIGHTY Vers đ

Very proud of the boys today. Ok, fair enough; Clyde probably edged it. But where does the arrogance and dreadful attitude of that 'big club' come from? I found the behaviour of their team and fans towards the end utterly dreadful. Ironic comments about Cliftonhill from a team which has not owned any ground since the 1930s. Very funny when the 'glamour boy' missed a sitter near the end; and I hope we end up in the same division as that 'big club' next year. No dispute about their win; but an utterly dreadful attitude.

If there are a more horrible set of fans in the league Iâve yet to come across them.
Also Danny Lennons antics were laughable today as well. Including screaming for a penalty when 2 players challenged for a header, going on a huff because I laughed when he did âwe donât laugh at your commentsâ then screamed âI hate beggarsâ when we shouted for a foul on one of our players.
The man was clearly feeling the pressure because we matched them and went toe to toe with them, but didnât cover himself in glory, thatâs for sure.

A good performance yesterday against a decent team. We tried to stop them playing and largely succeeded in that but also had a mix of half chances in the first half and Smart's effort in the second half that smacked off the post. Would have been an interesting game if that one goes in.
Clyde FC are the Donald Trump of Scottish football.

More than deserved a point out of that yesterday,matched them all over the park,very unlucky with the goal. if there was any team for Peters predicted skelping then Clyde would be top choice. Cant stick anything about them.

Really good performance which merited at least a draw. I think the biggest difference in the team now is their physicality as they are no longer being bullied by the opposition. Actually enjoying watching the team again. Observed that our former keeper Chris Fahey is Cyde's goalkeeping coach and was full of praise for PJ.

the difference between Clyde and Donald Trump is some people like Donald Trump I don't know . Rape, racism and financial chicanery . I think they're a good match. Certainly the Clyde fans are a cross between a Trump rally and a NASCAR meet.

A Clyde fans response on P&B to this âaccusationâ âI think youâll find itâs the Democrats that are  the angry mob - howling at the moon and arranging attacks on themselves to blame Trump supporters, assisted by the media that clearly hates the president that the people elected. Otherwise, good.â Enough said hahaha đ¤Śđ˝ââď¸

Had to move from behind the goals yesterday...Clyde fans have a disproportionate level of scum in their ranks. Terrible bunch. Think even if we end up bottom at least now look like we could compete.
