FT 3-2.

What game you at?

[Dante Lavelli]

Thanks for the updates, sounds a good match.

[Percy McCarthy]

I was chatting for a lot of the second half, but I could swear it finished 2-1.

Barton looks really good. Hope he's no relation.

[dave.woodhall]

Bugger. Blasted phone.

[PeterWithesShin]

Got a bit cold during the second half. Thought we were quite poor if i'm honest, especially in the second half. Fortunately Celtic weren't up to much so didn't take advantage. Thought Bateman and Barton looked okay. A bit disappointed with the likes of Carruthers, Drennan and Grealish.

Celeb spotting included Tayls (of course), Black Danny, Albrighton, Sid and a special treat for me as my main Rovers days were the glory times under him, Bobby Hope.

Downer of the night, the twats who started the Tracey Andrews song.

[dave.woodhall]

I thought Carruthers played well.

[Legion]

The Brigada Ultras went down in my estimation of them for the Tracie Andrews song as well as a few choice other ditties, especially considering the make-up of the crowd being highly populated by very young children.

Carruthers was very good. Well taken goal. Poor second half.

[PeterWithesShin]

Indeed Leeg, it's a youth game, do we really need so many songs about small heath, a lot of swearing and most disgustingly as mentioned, the Tracie Andrews song.

[Chipsticks]

What sort of attendances do we get at these games?

[PeterWithesShin]

I thought Carruthers played well.

He was okay in the first half, good goal but gave the ball away a lot, which got worse in the second. Did a lot of donkey work though including a couple of challenges. Guess I just expected a bit more from him and a couple of others at that level, especially as I thought Celtic looked quite poor.

[PeterWithesShin]

What sort of attendances do we get at these games?

Hard to tell where I was sat, but i'd guesstimate about 1200 tonight.

[Legion]

He has only just recovered from an injury and has played far, far better than today's performance suggested. I really think he is (going to be) something special.

What sort of attendances do we get at these games?

Hard to tell where I was sat, but i'd guesstimate about 1200 tonight.

I'd be surprised if it was over 1,000. We never have got big gates for these sort of games.

I could well have overestimated as it was hard to tell where I was, although from my angle it did look quite full in the section North Stand side. Also, I was still giddy with excitement at seeing Bobby Hope again so wasn't seeing straight.
