Shocked to that Tom ‘rash’ Lang has been sent off. Vaughan as well now. Good work. Will we be able to field a team next week? 

Yes, we’ll have at least eight healthy…put Thomson at CF and McNeil at AM, and Bob’s your uncle!

Whit was the 2-2 all about?

(Vinti been on the Vimto?).

A Vimto-induced premonition of the impending result at Accies. Pretty accurate I'd say.

It's just as well we've nothing to play for, since we're running out of players to field. To get two reds having started the day with only 4 subs is piss poor. 

Another 90mins closer to the end of this godforsaken season.

Both one game suspensions, maybe they have plans together? More seriously, I think that’s Lang for the season, he was obviously in discomfort.

We made stupidly hard work of keeping the ball v 9 men at the end there, but job done.

We genuinely should have been 3-0 up after 5 minutes there, then made increasingly hard work of it as the game went on with Raith starting to win everything in midfield. Good to see early subs and Blues & Gillespie did make a difference in plugging the gaps in midfield. Thought the shot that came down off the bar was over the line, but we got away with it.

We're still needing too many snookers to make the playoffs even if we win the next two, and funny as they were Raith's red cards don't help the chances of that.

Couldn't write this season if you tried for the Rovers, 33 league games without any player sent off and then today we get 2 sent off. Well done Tom Lang and Lewis Vaughan. Already down to bare bones before today hence why we had only 4 subs and unless any of the others come back and no more have been picked up today then we may well  only have 2 subs for Ayr next week.

We made heavy weather of that and were fortunate that the shot off the underside of the bar wasn't awarded as a goal - it looked close enough that there'd have been few complaints either way. Credit to Imrie for making the subs early which made us much more effective without the ball. Muirhead was largely hopeless and our attempts to 'control' the game against nine men were idiotic, but we got the job done. 

If we can get 55 points (or even 57) then it would be a very good season regardless of where we end up in the table.

NB: Today's other results mean that only we can have the pleasure of relegating that greasy fat mess Hartley at Cove in two weeks' time. Get him hounded.

Scored early on then huffed and puffed for the rest of the game without actually doing anything of note.

Dougie making the right subs at the right time, although you could make a case for Miller staying on for longer. 

Ali Crawford showed more promise than he has been of late and we could do with him showing his true form in the remaining games.

Raith didn't really threaten apart from the shot that came off the underside of the bar. Neat little triangular passes with no end product.

Lang correctly sent off and really should have gone before he did. 

3 points and onto next week's massive game. What a league!

Meaningless yesterday of course, but WTF is the referee doing with Langs imaginary hand ball and Vaughans 2nd yellow? Even the Morton roasters in the stand didn't know what he was up to, running the length of the pitch to pull him away from the edge of the box when he's waiting for a free kick.

Ref obviously can't hack it at this (shite) level.

Anyway, funny Morton celebrating the reds when it means we'll have even fewer players to play Ayr who will finish above them.

”meaningless”, you say??

Apparently not to you………..

I’ve some nice fresh grapes here if you want ‘em - yours seem remarkably sour.
