I hope our lads are really fired up for this! Agree, all out attack. Kelty haven't won all their games so there's a weak link somewhere. Gerrintaethem! Heart says 3-2 (not Kelty) head mmm 1-1 or 0-3.

Oh dear...I'm not sure all out attack at the start was the right plan. Down at half time 2-0 to 2 quick goals by Kelty's striker Austin supported by their other danger man Higginbotham but since then, we've had 4 shots at goal to their 0, so we're fighting back.

Rovers made Kelty hearts look good today, we need to stop giving silly goals away, and up and down one week and the next nothing, need to win next week.

Highlight of the day was the guys false teeth flying out when the skirmish started with the parents of the Kelty Choir. Very sad to hear young P1 - P6 kids sing about sha@@ing your women etc.. Really disappointed they weren't advised on these primary school kids language. Spoke to a couple of Kelty fans who said they were trying to manage this issue. Hopefully sooner rather than later before it causes issues with opposing supporters. Anyway, best thing about today was Rovers did have decent chances. Really liked Rovers 19 who came on (can't say his name because 19 wasn't listed on teams list I saw). Forfar here we come. Sad that there's no bus and the 20 or so Coatbridge Boys are having to arrange their own travel. Surely we need to address this issue in some way?

We played well today against a good kelty team, can't fault the players for effort but we were simply undone by what a bit of money in this division gets you, a wee bit of quality in certain positions of the field. We won't be playing kelty every week,our cup finals will be against likes of stenny stranrset and cowdenbeath.Onwards and upwards.

100% agree with Robert. Kelty were better in most areas and didn't look like they got out of about third gear. But they're not world beaters by any stretch.
No disgrace today and had a few decent chances ourselves.
As for the Kelty choir - they weren't just irritating, they were irritating as fcuk. Peter is spot on. Their parents must be very proud of them.

A real non-event in the end. Money talks, and the sooner they disappear (ONE WAY OR THE OTHER) the better. Second half was just a training match really: a waste of time on the whole. PS we all thought Rovers had scored with the free kick! Oh, and their first goal was miles offside. Miles. Do you hear me? Miles!!!

Sean Fagan deservedly our M.O.M today: very impressive. The team just needs to forget this one and get back to playing normal, non-heavily bankrolled by one 'local businessman' teams.

Games against Kelty won’t define our season but I thought they made us look lightweight to be honest. We showed them a bit too much respect and to be fair they did press us quite well especially in defence. They were pretty nothing goals, it’s so important just to clear your lines in this league and the third goal was a disaster for big Aldin. Hold our hands up and move on. Another tricky away game next week.

Agreed, Buchanan. All three goals were pretty dire, and we really didn't get going at all. Huge disappointment, but one to forget immediately.

Frustrated by the fact that we gifted them the 3 goals rather than quality play. Granted they have gifted players but at times looked ordinary in comparison by the past examples of big budget squads in Queens Park/Cove and the infamous Gretna. Need to put this down to a lessons learning exercise. I agree with previous comments about the Kelty Choir Boys - they need to sort that out before they face teams with a bigger and more volatile support in the other leagues.

I'm frustrated by the fact that the coatbridge bots embarrassed themselves today with not only racist behaviour towards Nathan Austin but by behaviour of wanting to fight 10 year old kids, if this group isn't dealt with by the BOD I will be asking for an EGM and why they are there
