I'd bite your hand off for a draw right now. At the very least it would end our five game losing run. The pressure really is all on us. Utd know that regardless of the result they will be top of the league by tomorrow and quite possibly very comfortably so. You never know though, a win would in my opinion be our biggest league victory at Starks since we beat Dundee 2-1 back in 2011, and this has already been a season of memorable moments so maybe the team can rummage up one more.

Always got an image of Irvine, CA vs Irvine, Ayrshire when I looked at Cuperman’s profile and read Irvine…I “knew” he was in Scotland, but mentally I was doing the math for getting to SP from Los Angeles when I saw this post.

No Millen anywhere in the squad. Liam Dick captain. Hamilton only a sub as Rudden preferred. Very strong set of subs if all else fails.
This will be an interesting evening, methinks.

The rumours must be true then that Millen is out of the picture then. Scott Brown also dropped. To be fair I haven't found the Byrne Brown partnership in midfield to be working but I thought it would be Byrne to make way. Hamilton who has been in fine goalscoring form makes way for Rudden. A bold line up all things considered.

We are so open at the back but in particular right back that you wonder if Brown for Millen is the answer.
United far quicker to get to the ball and have a hold on the game, yet somehow after twenty minutes were a goal up.
You can see this is running away from us now after the equaliser. United in control. We can't get a hold of the ball and totally unable to keep it.

Well the wife managed to remove me, both dogs and the cat from the ceiling just in time to see big Kevs' save.
Whilst I am not in the first flushes of youth which may account for memory issues but in 50 years of following the Rovers, I struggle to recall such a goal and such a save.
I have no more words

Some game, and we seem to be back fighting for one another, the effort and commitment was a joy to watch, but we still have a wee bit of trouble holding onto the ball. Hopefully this starts a wee run again

More than anything, I am really pleased for the players/ squad.

The crowd played their part which also helped.
Broonies goal is undoubtedly in the top ten in many peoples eyes ( I would guess).

Didn’t make it easy for ourselves at times but when it counted, they did enough.
I am full of pride.
We will be at Ayr next week, hopefully the players will now have a bit more belief in themselves.

👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙😁
