Let's be fair, if saints were on top of their game they'd have won irrespective of the way rovers played. It's one of those games where your team needs to be at their absolute best and for the opposition to be below par for you to pull a win off. Anyway, all that matters is the 2 points which you have. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks

Completely agree and as Cullen said teams have to make the most of the situations and capitalise which rovers did, Saints will play worse this year and win.

I agree. You need Saints to be having an off day to even have a chance at beating them, and that's still a tough ask as we found out by scraping through with a 1 point win. Not many teams will go there this year and pick up a win, regardless of whether Saints have an "off day" or not.

I’m waiting for the day when a pundit describes a Rovers win as fantastic, despite the opposition been at the top of their game. Do doubt you’ll be the first on here rolling your eyes and calling them sarcastic!

Thats the whole point that will never happen

Correct!!! Rovers will never win a game if their opposition are on form, you've finally got it!

Apparently Saints were rubbish thats why we won

If Saints had played to their full potential, they'd have put a decent score on us, as they would any opposition.
