Very positive interview fromIM.
Gotta say I think we have one of the best squads I can remember.

Till this season I don’t think we have had the quality in depth that we would have liked.

Of course this does not guarantee any success, Lady Luck often likes to intervene, not necessarily in a good way.

Hopefully the squad will all be pulling together for the greater good.

We are of to Portugal early Sunday morning. Said we could watch the Rovers play ICT at san starko, at which point she rained on my parade by reminding me that we cannot buy “ one off” tickets from abroad. It a shame as it means losing revenue. Am guessing it is a legal matter.☹️.

First half a smidgen pedestrian, and it has a wee bit of the "pre season friendly" feel about it. No doubt it's the heat to blame. Wink

1st half been exceptionally poor.

We have not troubled them at all. Gonna be an ear bashing methinks.

Do the new rules about punishing players for deliberately holding onto the ball to stop the opposition taking a quick free/kick not apply.

I mention it because if these new rules apply across the board then there was 2 occasions when 1 of their players walked away with the ball and another,I think, where he carried it away to allow his team mates to get back.

Blinking officials need to get a grip!!.

IM will be ripping them a new one atm. Rolling Eyes

Adam scores from a Vaughan cross…

And then Lewis scores on his own…

And then Easton crosses onto Hamilton’s heid.

Yup. Well deserved based on the 2nd half performance.
3 well taken goals and neither our keepers were over worked. Laughing

Aye. A better second half. Well done Adam Masson on his goal it was a peach. More importantly, I thought he played a solid defensive game as well. Well played that MAN!

Tx, you didn't think that was a clever pass from Dylan Easton, finding LV in space for his goal?
Comfortable victory but would have been very " interesting" if Cliftonville had taken either of their clear - cut chances before we scored.
Good to see Adam Masson get a run out and he performed well once he settled down. He was happy with his goal😆.
Aidan had to dust off a few cobwebs , but he'll be pressing for a starting place quite soon.
I couldn't name The Rovers' best starting eleven just now , so I don't envy IM. For the fans, there's a great feeling looking at our strong bench.
Robbie Thomson had his thigh bandaged up at FT and not taking any weight on that side. Hopefully, just a precaution but more likely a few weeks out?

First half was such a bore.

Second half, better with three well made goals.
