just seen the goals on MOTD, thommo's first was an awesome finish!

Great second aswell from distance. MGP with a tidy little back post tap in aswell!

Thank god thats over now a home tie to colchester! Savage's debut next! (he was on MOTD highlights aswell! looked very happy with thommos goal!

[92er]

Final whistle.

[youandwhosearmy]

phew!

come on thompson and MGP!!!

[Rovermatt]

Thompson's first goal was a scorcher, Pedersen's was sheer class.

Nicely done Rovers.

[tcj_jones]

They very nearly scored from Friedels failure to collect or deal with a cross. They also scored from a cross that should have been dealt with by the defense.

Saying that im exstatic that Thompson scored and MGP is certainly making a case for why he should be in the team.

I really look forward to hearing what people have to say about Thompson's performance.

Well done boys!

I was smailing Gamsten's celebration.

(the game live on Tv !yes!)

[storyoftheyear]

Second top scorer. Dickov 7 goals, Morten 4.

[Maverick]

A great result. Nice to see Thompson at his best and MGP still scoring goals. Hope he never stop doing that. Anyone know if MGP got to take some freekicks today?

Can't wait to get Savage in midfield. Then we get some good breaks and hopefully score more goals on counter attack.

[storyoftheyear]

I heard Morten almost went up in the stands while celebrating, even got a cheer when coming "back on"!

[Hasta]

I'm beggining to get the impression that MGP is by far the most popular Norwegian footballer. His fans are everywhere.

Still 3 goals in 3 games - fair play to him!

[blue/white]

Oh boy...

If Gamst keeps tapping them in- I'll have to up my dosage of humble pie to the entire tin..... He is most certainly loved. Now, can we address the dodgy haircut? He looks like the Revolver era Beatles

I am loving 2005 so far !!!!

[Alan75]

We must have the best haircuts in the Premiership.

MPG, Tugay, Nissa, and now Lilly

But well done rovers-sounded as if Matteo and Neill were woeful

Matteo woeful? I don't believe it! Last time he played was against Cardiff and he was shocking in that match, so it was good to hear that he continued the tradition. Gray or McEveley surely have to be brought into the team over him.

But in regards to the game, a great win, which sets us up nicely for a home game against Colchester and the real possibility of having a good cup run. Thompson's first goal was a brilliant move, with a great finish. Pedersen scored another good goal and he is showing what he can do when he is given a run in the team and fair play to him. By the sounds of things we were lucky enough, and seeing Langly's miss from a yard out, Cardiff could consider themselves unlucky. But that's the FA Cup. Too bad Johnson wasn't able to get a game.

Also, when Reid came on for Gallagher, where did he play and what players did Hughes change around?

[modes98]

Great second aswell from distance.

Great???

Good dummy by Gallagher.

Didn't you see the way he looked up saw that there was an opportunity then put perfect spin & pace on it to stop galli touching it while letting him put off the keeper!

Think we are due some luck to be honest!

Would be happy with nissa in at left back and mokoena at cb. Thought lucas had a very good attacking game and did ok defensively just fell slightly asleep for the 1st goal!
