Second half here we go; only change: andrews on for grella. Cheers to BMatthews for the great and spot on comments.
I sure hope that goal doesnt come back to bite us in the butt, the refs interfering to much with this match, which has contributed to its choppy style. Heres hoping rovers come back out with a new fire and win this one
