Gemmell was booked for over celebrating the goal but that mattered not a jot. Great match report d7 - but I disagree with this comment - after he got booked the ref was intent on giving Big John absolutely nothing. The Airdrie defenders sensed this and bundled him over at every opportunity knowing that the ref would not give a foul. Unfortunately for us this took away our No.1 threat as up till that point he had won everything in the air. Think that was probably our best performance of the season so far. Although we only scored one, we created way more chances than in any other game I can remember.

We were the better team and the only one trying to play football. Airdrie were awful but done well to keep themselves in the game. Neil Parry done for them what he done for us a good few times last season and made vital saves. Shame he acted like a complete D*CK at the final whistle.
I need to highlight John Gemmell, the big man had a great game for us and scored a superb goal! He bossed the 2 Airdrie centre backs the whole game. If ever there was a performance to let everyone know who should be starting up front for us then this was it. He should be one of the first names on the team sheet every week

Parry had every right to celebrate after that game and hope it serves as a reminder to those singing "Neil Parry you're a w*****", don't give him any more inspiration than he needs.

Bucky - spot on. At each of the three games we have played against Airdrie this year we've heard the same chant. So whilst it's just 'banter' and all good fun, I agree he has every right to celebrate and 'give it large'. That's just banter although a bit less good fun for us.
Shakey - I agree the ref gave Gemmell nothing on Saturday but, and I know this won't be popular (especially with the big man himself if he's reading this), I think he goes down a bit too easy at times and makes it easy for the ref to wave play on. He's a big guy, a real handful and he's got a great first touch. I'd like him to stay on his feet a bit more often.

If supporters wind up players, can you really blame the player when he gets his own back?
Would be better to be thankful for Parry's (or whoever else) past efforts in a Rovers shirt, and leave it at that.

Depends on how you leave. Gaston left and is treated with respect and welcome back any time. Parry left for our rivals and a made comments about how he always wanted to play for Airdrie. Hence the verbal. A twats a twat for all that.
