Motherwell 3 Rovers 1

Match report by Brian Smith

I might not be the correct person for writing this report, as Peden Baz and myself were all off and PC took a half day hols we decided to meet up at 3pm at Styx and then found out Funky Monkeys were only 50p a shot, 16 Funky monkeys later we were on our way to Fir park, a ground that I have never been to before.

Only real incident of note on the way through was Squire telling everyone how much he need a pish and eventually had to ask the driver to stop whilst we were at traffic lights, I was looking forward to seeing Squire running down the motorway ala Morton last season.

Managed to get in for a consesion again that’s 3 out of 4 away from home this season the only away game I’ve paid full price for the season was Cowden and we all know what happened that game so I think its now my duty to try and blagg it at every away ground all season.

Onto the game, What a shower of tossers the steward were again once again being told to sit down and when we pointed out the Home fans were allowed to stand we were told they weren’t a problem. Stotty deceided to take this further and spoke to the head steward who looked liked he had just finished his back shift at McDonalds and forgot to hand the drive through headset back, but was again told we couldn’t stand but the home fans could.Good banter in the away end the had to be increased to allow us all in with great songs like “Too thick to sing a song” and “You stand and you still don’t sing” but once again I was amazed at how quiet the home fans were. Although we battled well and took Motherwell all the way the fact that we don’t have a great striker showed and we missed and few chances and went out 3-1 but I really enjoyed all the away fans singing “we love you Rovers” at the end the Motherwell players must of come off thinking “why aren’t our fans like that?”.
