We’re absolutely miles off it so far, not kicked a ball.

That’s us right into the midst of our tough run of games now. We were well beaten at Inverness but should’ve beaten Dunfermline on Saturday. Tonight is another big test at a ground we are regularly well beaten at. Despite that, I have confidence that we can get a result tonight. Don’t imagine we’ll spring any surprises with our starting line up which seems very settled. 2-1 Rovers, Duku with both.

Pretty confident Davidson will be back up when he gets fit again. His replacement, Frankie Musonda, has taken his chance and looks like our best centre half. The partnership of him and Benedictus will almost certainly be the first choice pairing.

There’s a Lewis Vaughan segment on tonight’s A View From The Terrace.

Read this thread yesterday but it’s taken me until now to come to terms with the fact that there’s someone on this forum who throws away 730 socks per year.

2400 streams bought for this game, as announced by Tom Morgan during the Rovers lottery draw.

Surprised to see you say Musonda could do with bulking up a bit. The guy is an absolute unit.

Number 1 on the list of things that will not be happening: this.

I’ve never seen that picture or video before, but they’re both very good.

It was a factually correct message, in all fairness. I don’t see any dates.

Watched the highlights there, absolutely no idea who’s suppose to be marking Duku at our first goal, laughable defending. McInroy seems to be closest to him initially but does literally nothing to stay with him. Second goal OFW comes for a cross he is never getting anywhere near, leaving him wildly out of position and unable to recover to save Musonda’s header in time. The Dunfermline goals are similarly bad bits of defending. As I thought at the time, Tumilty does no where near enough to show Murray down the line and then as RATM noted, I think Jamie MacDonald probably saves it if Musonda doesn’t insight him, as it’s not really in the corner. McManus’ volley is a thing of beauty, fantastic connection but both of our centre halves are less than a yard away from him, and it’s not as if McManus does any sort of clever movement to find the space, they simply don’t mark him. Dow also beats Tait and Ross Matthews so easily and allows him a free run into the box to provide the cross. Pretty sure both sides will be sitting through copious match analysis when they get back in on Monday.

You must’ve not been listening properly, the guys said his second name several times.

Bitterly disappointed not to win, thought we had the measure of Dunfermline for all but that crazy 2 minute spell.

It was about 5 yards outside the box for a start.

Declan McManus really is the worst c**t going, eh? Absolute creature.

Really pish defending for both the Dunfermline goals. Tumilty lets Murray inside far too easily, he’s always looking to get back into his right foot. Second one Dow gets away from two players on our left. McManus’ finish was impressive, right enough.

It was never game over even at 2-0.

Fucking yas.

I fucking love Manny Duku.

Great corner routine, similar to maloney v Ireland a few years ago. Very unlucky.

A minutes silence for Diego Maradona. It’s what he would’ve wanted.

f**k sake, keeper. That’s a howler.

It’s just so short sighted. Imagine we were going to play East Fife and they put the prices up, everyone would be annoyed. I fully understand it’s within the board’s remit to change the prices, but they seem to have failed to understand that it’s within Dunfermline fans’ to say ‘f**k you’.

This is so fucking stupid from the club. 100% going to end up with egg on our face. Annoyed everyone for the sake of an extra £1000, great work.

I remember Dunfermline unveiling a giant scarf and parading it the full width of the pitch during half time at a game years ago. f**k knows what that was all about.
