Robbed by the referee! Now there's an effin' novelty! Great performance all round and three points should have been ours. Up yours, ref! Thanks to all involved in my birthday announcement yesterday as I join the bus pass generation!

Rovers should of won today, we need to stop late goals going in from other teams, but a point gained, is that 3 games unbeaten now.

Referee was outrageous. Free kick awarded to Stirling for hitting Jamie Leslie in the face. Another great performance from the boys though. Keep going Rovers!!

Thought we should’ve been out off sight at halftime some of the football we played today was excellent, made some excellent chance’s can’t fault anyone in the team today, and what a save in the second half by Leighfield outstanding.

Another predication correct but no comfort in that - when you look at late lost goals/domination of games over the season we are down 12 points from where we might/should have been! Yet again we seem to suffer from another rookie ref from the conveyor belt of mediocrity! One day we will give some team a sound beating - the lads need to continue their belief - it will happen !

It will happen for sure. Rovers are playing good stuff, and I am enjoying watching the absolute commitment and great spirit of the team. Stirling were garbage: so much for top of the league. Thuggish, diving cheats. Their twitter person actually disputed the sending off, FFS. Lucky it wasn't a Jim Deakin style multiple leg break.

The day will come when we give someone a good thumping. We should fear no one in this division but we need to learn to put teams away while we are on top, otherwise chances will come their way and the inevitable happens. Everyone put a shift in today but a special mention to Leighfield in goals for a truly spectacular save for us early 2nd half!! As for the referee, his performance today was atrocious. The standard we get half the time is beyond a joke, but this clown today needs to give up. Completely lost the plot today.

Didn't get a proper look at the incident that gave them the free kick, but it seems they got it for hee-haw. I am as biased as most when it comes to refereeing decisions, but I think this season the dodgy ones have cost us several points. Ian and I spoke to a couple of Stirling fans at half-time who reckoned they were lucky only to be one down, which is a similar story to last week, so although we are still very much in the danger zone I feel confident that this will not be the year we disappear.

Yes the referee was poor however the reason Rovers never got the 3 points today was their own fault.
First half rovers actually played some tidy stuff particularly in the middle third. Leslie and Malcolm were very good and so was the colossus at centre half.
However when Stirling got a man sent off I believe around the 70th minute mark. Rovers immediately regressed and invited waves of pressure. Irrespective of why Stirling got the free kick if you sit back against the team top of the league they will find a way back into the game one way or another. It looks like they had 11 and Rovers 10.
The substitution of brining the boy Wright on with no aerial presence or pace playing up front as a lone striker was also very questionable. Everytime I have seen the boy Reilly play he looks fearless when taking a man on and has pace to burn….surely he would’ve been a better choice?
Would’ve bit your hand off for a point at 3 o’clock but by 5 it must be seen as 2 points dropped.
