Specky Ginger

And what colour of sauce went best with the pies.

Kids are allowed in the Novar Bar - not sure if there's any stipulation on them having to have food. The Beveridge Park Hotel is right next to the station.

It's a no-brainer to give the railway stand to United fans. Extra revenue for Rovers and less chance of away fans ending up in the South Stand. And above all, it's obscene to deprive fans of entry to a football ground when there is more than enough capacity to accommodate them.

Maybe United would be wise to do the same.

So much more professional and decent than the utterly ham fisted way we went about moving season ticket holders from the main stand to accommodate Rangers fans seven years past.

Interesting that Motherwell moved their game to 12.30 yesterday - not for Sky, who showed no interest in the game, but so they could sell PPV streams, primarily to Celtic fans.

Claught her by the rump, And left poor Maggie scarce o' stump.

I thought Easton was luckier than Vaughan not to see red as he lifted both hands. The Ayr player's reaction was disgraceful, but if the referee had seen it, he could well have walked. In saying that, if the referee had blown for the blatant foul on Stanton seconds before, the whole situation would have been avoided.

In the good old days the supporters' buses would drop off near the harbour. Billy Bridges, the Steamboat, the Smugglers, others I can't quite remember the names of. Top shops.

Munro is bad, but he's not this bad. Looks like he's taken up Riverdancing.

The pie supplier has changed since you were last through here. The steak pies probably aren't just as good as they once were, but there's a much wider choice. A pie, a fudge doughnut / empire biscuit and a drink meal deal.

No real complaints about the outcome today. We had a good spell for 15 minutes leading up to half time and had the edge for 20 minutes after the break, but there were a couple of warning shots across our bows before the goal and Airdrie managed the game superbly after the goal, restricting us to little or nothing. Airdrie defended well, pressed our midfield and took a chance when it came, so no grudging them of the win. My only slight gripe about today, and I'm not convinced that it would have made any great difference to the outcome, but I can't understand the paltry amount of added time today, given that a minimum of 30 seconds is supposed to be added per substition and there were a few injuries on top.

Quite happy with the changes from last week. The team looks like it has a wee bit more width and balance.

As said above, Stanton's injury initially looked horrible - a stretcher job all the way. However, the fact he was able to walk round the track would suggest it was instant acute pain which reduced almost immediately (the kind of thing when two knees bang together). Saturday will be tough. Airdrie two out of two at home this season and desperate not to let a couple of defeats turn into a mini-slump.

Just turn on the sprinklers at full tilt.

Lacking width badly. We've had some rough breaks against this lot over the years, but extremely fortunate to be level at halftime.

The Ross situation is a strange one. We're only four games in and we've gained six of our ten points in the short time he's been on the park, not forgetting the penalty he earned against Morton. I honestly thought he'd kick on once fit.

And come back again.

So the guy who brought an Argentina flag when Casalinuovo played for has no right to be at Stark's Park?

And the Queen Mother was celebrating as not only did she have us as one of her five aways that day, but she began a love-in with Ivan Mballa.

Yes. And Mickey.

I saw the flag in the Estuary before the Pars League Cup game and also on display at Annan. I've always liked to think of Rovers as being a broad church politically and religiously, therefore I've no idea why some people get themselves into a mess over a flag, unless they see the Rovers as being the sporting wing of some political organisation.

Please tell me David Bates isn't involved, and if he is, easy on the jokes please.

The first half wasn't a pretty watch, but I think it was just a case of letting them throw their punches, then picking them off as they tired. Great set up play by Easton for the 2nd and 3rd. Job done.

My thoughts initially as well, but their away strip is green with white chevrons, so I might just about have to give them the benefit of the doubt.
