Great to see an opposition player sent off

Fantastic chance to put the game to bed and get another player on the scoresheet.

Rare thing in Saudi it's lashing down. Doesn't rain often but chucks it down when it does.

Update from match

Quick break by Inverness, Rooney fed Cox the ball and he hit the post from six yards, the ball rebounded onto keepers head, scambled clear.

Still all Inverness, fog worse.

Must be too late in the match now for the match to be abandoned?

Any other subs?

[Guest Mahonio]

Do Raith look like scoring because i am nervous a wee bit because our missed chances COULD cost us.

Also who would you say is Man of the Match?

[RossP]

Also... just noticed Raith have Thierry Gathuessi (who played about 45mins for us last season?) on their bench.

[Scotty]

Gatheussi is on the park ... came on in 71 minutes (after the sending off)

[Pele_Is_God]

County have just scored, Vigurs.

Good 3 points and a clean sheet. Roll on the pars!

[crownjaggie]

three points and moved up one place with Pars and County drawing.

[Yngwie]

Just relieved the match wasn't abandoned. Always good to get a win, but I've already got that "meaningless end of season" feeling that accompanies mid-table mediocrity.

[Pele_Is_God]

10 points beind, 20 games to play. Bit ahead of yourself there Yngwie... We have to beat them on Boxing Day though.

[Yngwie]

10 points beind, 20 games to play.

By the end of the season they will be more like 20 points ahead of us. Mark my words!

[AJS]

Just back and can't believe we didn't win by at least 5 or 6.

It is safe too say that Raith didn't get a sniff at all. The fog made it difficult too see there area in the first half but by what you could see it was a good finish from Rooney at the near post with his left foot. Hayes free kick had it gone in would have been fabulous.

2nd half was more of the same. We dominate. Eric and Hayes were causing problems as was Sanchez and Duff and Cox both linked up well with others. There goalie made some superb saves. The one from Cox was birlliant reaction stop and Cox also hit the post.

Really efficent performance to say the least and if we are as solid as we looked and that includes Lionel who also played well then we can finish strongly. Eagle came on and gave the ball away a few times but he also sent in a dangerous cross towards the end. Stratford even managed to make a contribution today...he ran down the last few seconds on the clock when he came on for Hayes.

Real pea souper today. I doubt the North or South stands would have seen the other end of the pitch?

Despite dominating the first half we only went in 1-0 ahead when it really should have been 3 or 4. How the ref didn't give us a penalty in the 1st minute when Rooney was felled in the box I'll never know.

Much scrappier in the second half but luckily we managed to hold on for a deserved win.

I assume Imrie is away in January as his cameo today was p**h and he looked like he didn't want to be here
