Absolutely hate some of the idiot's in our support. Noticed some numbnuts having a go at Russell and Morton for having the audacity to pass the ball back the way when they were just outside the Cowdenbeath box with nothing on. They would do well to watch this video and maybe learn something - in particular point 4. (not implying in any way we are in the same league when playing but the principles still apply) |

Absolutely hate some of the idiot's in our support. What was the nonsense being shouted at our own players this week? Anyway, This was as comfortable a win as you'll ever see in this league. An entirely professional brushing aside of a team that we're simply better than (despite previous head to head results this season). Beanie was a sharp as he's been in a long time and JCAGTL also stood out in team where everyone achieved 'played well' status. As said above, 3 points, 3 goals, a clean sheet and the usual torn faces still bumping their gums. All's well down at Almondvale these days (till the next defeat).  The usual crap about kicking the ball up the park and passing it backwards. It's like we were playing as if we were 3-0 up eh??  |

(not implying in any way we are in the same league when playing but the principles still apply) Agree that we're not in the same league but it's awfy similar to what we're trying to do with the smart ball retention and patient build up in that vid. Look at Jordan Morton's goal against Cowdenbeath from earlier this season for an example of what we can do when things come off (6m 16s to 7m 17s - www.livingstonfc.co.uk/livitv/stranraer040812/livitv.php ). Yet the angry shouty mob will still shout themselves hoarse.  |

I've said for ages and ages that there's a huge percentage of complete rockets in the Livi support and Saturday just confirms it. Strolling the game 3-0 and probably half an eye on the game coming up tomorrow night and some fans are hounding players for keeping the ball with a simple sideways/backwards pass. Deary me.
Thought that was as good a performance I've seen from Livi for a long time. Completely bossed Cowden for the entire game. Aswell as the three goals, Scougs had two great chances, Andreu nearly nicked one off the keepers toes and Morton forced one, if not, smart saves from him too.
Thought Watson impressed slotting in at right back too. Andreu was a spark in the midfield again and Russell is a man bang in form just now - took his goal excellently and set up the second on a tee.
I'm not surprised that we've looked more of a threat going forward since Morton's came into the team. He's not the greatest player and has work to do but I think he adds the drive that we missed at times up there. He's got some ping on him when he wants and when they come off, his twists, turns , flicks and bits of skill are brilliant. Naturally when you try these sorts of things, it can look horrible if it doesn't work but it can sometimes be the wee bit of magic needed to set up an attack. He definitely gets himself into good positions too - someone who looks to have improved under Evans.
Bring on the Falkirk! COLTS!

Scougall hails win as Livi bounce back
By CALUM LESLIE
STEFAN SCOUGALL was delighted to see Livingston bounce back from last week’s defeat and sweep aside Cowdenbeath with a 3-0 win – even if the midfielder felt he should have bagged a couple of goals himself.
Iain Russell, Tony Andreu and Jesus Garcia Tena were on the scoresheet in a dominant first half for Gareth Evans’ side, who banished any lingering thoughts of last week’s loss to Dumbarton.
And despite Scougall
coming close to adding to the tally, he was pleased to see the team secure their third win in four league games.
He said: “It was obviously a great three points for us. We worked hard and we could have made it easier for ourselves, but I thought in the first half
especially we played really well.

Livingston 3 Cowdenbeath 0: Second half positives for Cowden
Saturday’s First Division clash at Almondvale was over as a contest by the interval with three fabulous strikes sealing victory for Livingston.
For Colin Cameron’s side it was a case of damage limitation, but the Blue Brazil refused to disintegrate and restored some pride with a much better second half display.
The two previous clashes this season both ended in 1-1 draws but it would have taken a remarkable comeback for Cowden to have made it a hat-trick of draws.
Cameron said: “At least the second half ended 0-0.
