Rovers were absolutely superb: brilliant win. Should have been at least 5-1. Penalty was a shamefully cheating dive. Totally astonished that it was given. So much for the full-time glamour boys! Boyd is just sensational;do let us hang onto him dear pals at Hamilton. But that was a superb all-round team effort: one of our finest victories.

1-2 makes it sound close.
Truth be told we played some excellent football today and if we'd went in at half time 2 or 3 ahead it would have been a true reflection of our performance.
Superb performance from each player, great stuff! great team spirit is growing within the squad.
If we can keep injury free and maintain that level of performance we will fear no-one in this league.
Excellent vocal support today!!

Today at Livi we ended the first quarter with 14 points and bettered last seasons 13 points ....great start. Long may it continue!!
Wonder if Darren set a (first quarter) target at the start of the season?

Great result.
Only down side is Prof predicted the result correctly, which means he will have Chesney Hawkes on full blast on Facebook tonight

VERY tough game for the 'Vers tomorrow but aren't they all in this league? Travelling to play arguably the best team in League 1 on their own patch is always going to be a major challenge. However, we're heading into the game on a high with 2 wins from 2 and no goals conceded in the process! Realistically a draw would be a great result but I'll be greedy and predict a 2-1 victory for the MIGHTY 'Vers!!!! Well, well - Mystic Meg or what  Rovers were quite simply SUPERB today. We took the game to Livi from the off and were very worthy winners in the end. Beating a full-time team on their own patch - can't do much better than that!!! 2 superb goals and their "goal" was a very debatable penalty. 3 wins from 3, 6 goals scored & only 1 conceded. BIG thanks to all the guys who travelled on the luxury Millers 33-Seater today - much appreciated!! |

A fine performance and result: we have a tremendous record so far, especially it seems against full-time teams. The most pleasing thing for me is that every man contributed - MOM candidates for me both Dunlops, Davidson and Boyd. The nature and timing of the Livi goal has me putting this down morally as a third clean sheet in a row.

Looking at the stats history that's the first time in just over 20 years that we've beaten Livi on their own patch.
This Rovers team seems to be re-writing the history books as they go along this season!

To be fair I think we have only played there about 3 times since

I took a work colleague along and he was impressed by the whole team performance, from defence to attack and the passing ability and understanding each player had of each other. He may bypass his beloved Hearts and become a new follower ! The journey keeps on getting better.

One of the most pleasing things about the Rovers is the attacking ethos of the team. Last year was all about staying up:job done; no problemo. This season the team is very much focused on scoring and winning: third top scorers in the league so far. We made a full-time team look very ordinary indeed.

Can't remember year, but some time ago, Rovers playing Livingstone at Livingstone, midweek, and they were flying and Rovers were not, Rovers were very busy in defence, absolutely pinned back, at some point in the second half Livingstone's centre half, just over the half way line, decided to blast a a ball forward which the Rovers forward got in the way of and it sailed high into the air, and then panic among the home supporters as they saw their keeper scurrying back towards his goal line and he did not make it as the ball magically dropped just under the bar and into the net. Rovers held out for a 0-1 win.
Absolute robbery.
Got some abuse in the car park, don't remember seeing any other Rovers supporters.
