Nice to see a 4 nil result and Rooney getting 2 - according to the match report was involved in all of the goals - so maybe all is not doom and gloom

Come on Brewster give the young lads a go - Vigours Duff Rooney yea yea yea

Strong ICT team against a young Well side. Interestingly Barry Wilson played at right back and was captain for the day. Did a good job in that position, plenty of tackling and took on a few good runs up the wing as well. Possible defensive cover for next few games?.

First half was a quiet affair but ICT had a couple of chances one for McAllister and one for Zanders, Rooney had a good penalty claim turned down. 0-0 at the turn.

Second half was lot more workman like with plenty of attacking from ICT this was rewarded in the 18th minute when Rooney mopped up McAllister rebound to open the score. Rooney scored his second from the spot after Djedi-Jadi was brought down at the end of surging run into the box. Adam Rooney turned provider for the third, his cross found Zander Sutherland in the clear at the back post he cooly slotted home. Finally a fourth goal rounded off afternoon after Rooney rose to head goalward the ball rebounded into the path of Gillespie who hammered in a low shot from 15 yards. Good second half display allround with some good football being played. Final score 4-0.

Highlights where the performance of Rooney 2 goals and an assist and Barry Wilson at right wing back.

Nice summary GEO , cheers

I believe Rooney has the potential to become a fine striker in a year or two. The trouble is we need someone who can do a job consistently for the first team now.

From GEOs excellent report..."...Rooney had a good penalty claim turned down..." This is happening quite often now. Perhaps he shoud take some diving lessons from Bazza and CC.

Good news too about Bazza at RB, perhaps hat will be a good halfway house for when he tires of doing all that running. This may be what he needs to justif a contract extension. And also managerial kudos to whoever thought of trying it...

rooney seems to have a touch of class. He just needs some experience to play alongside.
