It never fails to amaze just how many highs/lows that we as footy supporters go through. Confused

Give the team their due though, they never stopped and fought back. Something that might not have happened last season.

Listened on Raith Tv / exciting stuff - did anyone else’s feed cut out at our third goal - what a surprise when I refreshed the feed!! Almost caught in the web but not this time.

Messed up afternoon.

Played a lovely 1st 45mins, unlucky not to be ahead by more.

Came out 2nd half looking like WE were short a man, not them. Despite this, Queens never really troubled our goal UNTIL possibly the two worst defensive howlers we will ship all season (*beep* hope so!) calamitous doesn’t cover them.

We regrouped, and we all know how it ended! Magical stuff and super chuffed for Lewie to put the finishing touches to them.

We were pretty close there to a Rovers’ fan meltdown this evening, almost made a real dugs’ dinner o’ it.

Special shout out to Dom Thomas and his teammates celebrating their 2nd down by the home fans, cupped ears, little dances, the lot….get it up ye

The big thing for me, so far this season, is the never say die attitude, fighting to the final whistle .
Of course they were wasteful with a number of chances, but the Spider defenders and especially their young goalie provided quite a barrier to overcome - unlike our own defence’s mad moments(give them their due they played pretty solidly apart from the goals!
Anyway, all successful teams carry a bit of luck and sometimes eek out the result the hard way!

I still haven’t calmed down after that rollercoaster of a game. Yes we missed a barreload of chances, yes QP are a very pleasing skilful team to watch and playing against them must be a nightmare, but huge congratulations to the manager for his tactics in exposing the flaws of their high line game right from the kick off and for all the first half especially. Hamilton was immense in causing havoc with their defence at times and on a different day could (and possibly should) have had a 1st half hat trick. I thought we missed him in the 2nd half, Gullan tried hard but I felt we missed the big fellas height and directness as an outlet when we occasionally managed to win the ball from QP.

QP terrific football players but all credit to the Rovers for containing them and not letting them into our penalty box (except for the glaring errors which gifted them their 2 goals).

Ive never seen such a shocking mistake from a Rovers goalkeeper other than when Guido missed his kick and the ball trundled into the net all those years ago.

Again great credit to the manager, spot on substitutions and massive massive credit to the players to have the spirit desire and downright *beep* mindedness to take the game by the scruff of its neck and produce a winning finale like that. Absolutely superb. The scenes at full time were fantastic. For once we turned it around and pulled a victory from the jaws of defeat. On chances I’m sure it could have been something like 14 to 3.

A game which will be remembered for a very long time. Brilliant stuff Rovers, so happy for wee Lewis. Magic.

Hopefully the fans can forgive Dabrowski for his howler following his match winning performance the week before. Great 3 points.

Seems to be a lot of criticism aimed at Dabrowski but very little or none towards the defenders involved in the comical 2nd goal

Wow, what a team effort to get us the three points and a special well done to Lewie Vaughan, he change the game and scored the vital goals.
Whereas goodness knows how many glaring misses we had??

Queens Park had a great plan, they were well organised, very skilful players and were tactically aware. Their German coach has installed a great team.

We were the opposite, we let QP attack and stood back, I dislike the way we defend, the defence looked like they didn't want to tackle?

BUT, when we did attack, we looked dangerous, but we could do with some players willing to take the defenders on, like Aidan Connelly does.

We scored with 3 good goals, and let QP in with two howlers.

Still sitting top equal, isnt too bad.

And a very good crowd today, just below 3000
