I'm late on here ...hope for a win. Annan are in the front for the top 4 so will attack from the start. 3=2 to us, perhaps, it all depends how our lads are on the day. Make sure we do urge them on, it's vital.

Charlie Reilly, our only real marksman, not there at all. Is he injured, or suspended? Looks like we're really missing him. First half only 1 shot by each team. Only 4 goals in all in the first half of all games in our division. Come on, Rovers. Let's take this game by the scruff of the neck and score!

Actually, it's only 3 goals. Late equaliser from Dumbarton. By, they're not playing like true potential champions, are they?

Reilly injured ham string issue but doesn't look too bad. Poor result today against a team that I really don't like. Cheated their way through the game with petty falls every time a Rovers player went near them. Ref fell for it every time. Unlucky Rovers. Heads up for next week. Peter |

Absolutely robbed. Annan contributed zero to the second half but won 2-0. Their usual time-wasting and diving contributed to a wearisome afternoon. Ragin', byraway. Rovers played well in the second half, but if we don't score, that's what happens. Annan's only attack in the second half got them the first goal. They are masters of the art of cheating: no other word for it.

Summed up our season to be fair. Even 1st half , excellent 2nd half upto the 80th minute. Two pretty poor goals to lose. I think it would have been a different story if Sonkur had been on the pitch.

A sore one considering we played well with nearly a full team injured. Used to like annan but they are a cheating disgrace these days. Doesn't help when the ref was so up their arse he should have been wearing an annan top. Once again couldn't hear the 50-50 draw or anything else from the P.A. system in the west end of the stand. Firstly, announce the draw after the teams have came off then we might have half a chance of hearing it. Or buy a megaphone. God forbid if ever there was an emergency in the stand but announcements wouldn't be heard.

Not scoring first comes back to haunt us again. We had some decent touches but I felt we overplayed it at times when creating chances - need someone to take a pot at goal and be decisive ! - Joe had great runs taking on guys and outpacing them - but too often passed to teammates and the chance was gone - why not try himself ? Substitutes from the opposition seems to be our Achilles heel as like last week - this time it was Josh Galloway who did the damage. We are a good team - we just need to be more clinical up front . More players hobbling off today - hope we don't end up with a full squad on the treatment table!

Not sure what the total co£k up was before match but we need to bring in decent stewards who can manage a gate.
Kelly family, who are volunteers and season ticket holders, refused entry before 2pm to set up programme stall.
Think it's time for at least one director to man the gates to observe proceedings each home fame. This will at least give us someone in proper authority to assist with issues like this.
The Kelly family have given many years of service to this club. An apology is the least they deserve.
And, why wasn't there any thanks announced for Gerry the H&S Officer who finished up today.
All the very best Gerry.
Your still game ties will be sorely missed 😂

The Kelly family have given many years of service to this club. An apology is the least they deserve. Peter I'll explain my side of this. Ciaran and I arrived at 1.55 to get set-up. The steward with he clipboard nodded us through when we identified as programme sellers. However, the other steward, who normally stands outside, intervened and challenged us as to who we were. To be fair, Lorraine was quick on the scene and happy to allow entry. However, I chose for us to leave and re-enter at 2 pm as the long-standing season ticket holders we are. Freeloaders, we absolutely are not, and I greatly resented the inference. |

Must be a first for Rovers. 5050 ticket purchased at a funeral 😂
Well done George.
No point buying another at next home match. He won two in a row a few years ago.

Nothing each would have been fair.
Had Bevan - who had another good game - scored that chance in the second half it would have been a different game.
Sonkur off for Fagan who I like you always knee there big man would be winning headers. The first goal was some header and the second the same.
Much improved from the game against them in December 2022.
