22 today Happy Birthday Rooney

Fantastic from the fans - jimmy say i to a killie pie - brilliant support for the team as well. They encouraged them at all times during the match - but there's always one ass**** shouting abuse at his own players - this plonker seemed to hate Rooney - before he left he called Rooney a B--tard - some supporter ye Maybe he did'nt like Jimmy's pie Jimmy says i to a Killy pie Well done to the true fans ye

Johnny should be ok went of with a dead leg - so has a few days to recover

I was at the match on Saturday and have to say I really enjoyed the entertainment - the team tried to play football and it was a joy to watch. I think the weather had a lot to do with some of the changes we missed but at least we created chances and got the 3 points. ( Big Positive ) I thought the new guy Duff done really well in midfield - he just done the simple things all the time pass the ball and find a player - also noticed he was trying to encourage the younger lads on the pitch. Hayes and Rooney were brilliant and Sanchez did well trying to find the pass. So well done to the team and management and hopefully we will have a good result this week. Happy Fan

All i can say it well done to all the lads you gave us a great day out and showed us just what football games are all about. It would have been nice to bring the cup back - but once the 1st goal went in against us we lost our way. We sat back and let Dundee come at us. Hayes was great at getting the ball into the box just what Rooney needs - we need the same balls coming in from both sides though. I think Sanchez went of with a injury but in saying that we did need someone in midfield. Anyway well done to everyone, including the supporters so lets get behind the team and let them hear us for the rest of the season.

Now lets not have negative comments the team won and we got 3 points - we need to take each game as it comes and work hard. So well done to the team and management. The last time we played Airdrie we only drew so its nice to get another home win under our belts. And going into next weeks game it should give the lads more confidence. ;)

Maybe something to do with the fact, that apart from scoring a rebound from a poor penalty, he'd did absolutely nowt for the whole game. What about Proctor at CB and keep Tokely at RB? There you go again Renegade - running down Rooney were you at the same game? Rooney played his heart out yesterday for the team he was everywhere. The problem with the game yesterday was a lot of the other players did not do the same. He scored a goal thats 5 in 3 match's so get over it You obviously never saw Proctor at CB under Brew in the SPL. He was awful.

Well done Rooney - at least today you have shown what you are capable of given the chance. I also think Foran and Rooney play well together - Dougie gave in some good crosses today and well done to the team and the management. At least now we are winning against weaker teams which we were doing up to this. So roll on the good times and get top of the league Always knew this boy had claSS

Why would Rooney be replaced? did he not score as well ? Id go with the same team - more experience it this side than ever - I can't remember the last time we scored 5 goals. Can't wait for Saturday

Well - I think that we did go with a "plan" and that was to keep it tight at the back - basically ensuring that we had at least five outfield players behind the ball at all times - Granty and Bulvitis were evidently two and only went forward fer dead ball ploys - Golly was evidently told to stick and Proctor and Duncan holding as well - that gave Rosscoe a bit more freedom to move forward. It looked like the ploy was to play Imrie and Foran as wide as possible which gave Sanchez the room he requires. I thought Rooney did a great job and practically kept their two central defenders on the back foot all the game. But to me it was the clear direction to try and play football and go forward that was the most encouraging - and not to shut up shop but to go fer the jugular - I was fearful that we would go in to a more defensive mode when we equalised but we went fer it. I think you got it spot on ! Proctor - Duncan were the holding midfield - as I've said before Foran is at his best on the wing and so is Dougie - Rooney well Im delighted for him to have got a start ( and a goal but then again never doubted that he would'nt score given the chance ) well Rooney's job was to battered and hold the centre halfs so as any loose balls etc could be picked up by Foran, Imrie - and Sanchez well he does whats he good at picking out the pass - I just hope Butcher plays the same team on Saturday. And lets face it - we had a wee albeit vocal following yesterday - We have surpassed it on many previous occasions but there was the old "togetherness" / the craic with the players and the management. And lets say a few positives about the stewarding as well. The players were given freedom to express themselves and enjoyed the experience - the same can be said fer the fans. Bring on the Tinks

Sorry above should be 4 - 4 - 2

I would go with 4 - 2 - 2 formation and an attacking side ( we need to win this) Esson Proctor Tokely Munro Golabex Imrie Sanchez Duncan ( or Cox) Hayes Foran Rooney

Nothing for rumour Harry. I've seen Darren at other games. He often goes to watch local matches. As for the game I cant add anything that hasn't been said already. Great three points. I do, however, wonder if Rooney needs some attention from IHE. It seems to me that when he's in on goal some psychological barrier comes up and he bottles it. Whats ur problem with Rooney ? Only for him last night we would not have got the goal. The only problem Rooney has is not getting enough time on the pitch.

How can you possibly judge Rooney fairly considering the amount of time he's had? Rooney is always the one that comes on and wastes all our chances. Some of which even i could score. maybe you should go for a trial as a centre forward and see how many goals you can score when you get from anywhere from 1 mins to 20 mins

I like that team but im not sure if i would play Cox in midfield instead of Mcbain. Imrie will be better on the wing as last year we saw Butcher play him as a centre forward but to no avail. Hopefully we get a result The last game was a disaster. Think Foran and Rooney up front will work as they both battle, Foran is inclined to ramble about the pitch while Rooney will be in the box. Come on Caley lets get some goals.
