Trapdoor to Hell
Raith Against The Machine replied to HibeeJibee's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
What an odd statement, tonally. Paragraphs two and three sound like they're setting up for a fire and brimstone "We will be appealing in the strongest possible terms!" and instead the final paragraph is just a wee "Gee shucks, what can you do?" meek acceptance.- 378 replies

Morton v Rovers
Raith Against The Machine replied to Scary Bear's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
And the one hundred and four yellow cards you've received in the league this year were, what, mistaken identity? -
After recovering from an injury, Byrne went straight into the starting eleven against Arbroath, a game we lost. He then didn't start the next three, two of which we won and all three of which we kept a clean sheet in. Having now had a negative result, I expect he'll be back in contention for a starting place. I don't think we need the conspiracy theories.

You'd have to think Euan Murray misses this one after his head knock at Tannadice, so Scott Brown will continue in defence. Quite simply, Ross Matthews or Shaun Byrne must play. Nothing against Kyle Turner, but we can't just play a bunch of attacking midfielders again and expect to have any semblance of control.

I was searched on the way in, having been greeted at the turnstile by a steward asking "voluntary search?". Hard to see how anyone has foiled that system.

It's a dive, but it's a dive Moult gets to make with a huge chance of success as soon as Watson puts his arms around his waist. There's nowhere near enough force or contact to send Moult to the ground, but all the referee sees is Watson's arms around him inside the box. Can't blame the referee for giving it, and Watson has to be smarter.

Can't agree with your first point here, but wholeheartedly agree with your second. I saw no lack of effort or endeavour, but we perpetually lost two key battles all afternoon, both of which were down to players being asked to play out of position. Scott Brown at centre half and Kyle Turner were given an absolutely torrid time by the movement and physicality of Moult and Watt. They were getting change from Brown when they competed in the backline, and change from Turner when they dropped off. Ian Murray has some mitigation in playing Brown in that he's done it in more than half of our games this season, but why he thought Turner was the best option in the base of the midfield completely baffles me. And it's particularly galling that the best way to solve both of those problems only involves making one change. If Keith Watson starts that game alongside Euan Murray, and Scott Brown plays in midfield, that's a totally different game. We might still loss it, who knows, but the two key weaknesses that United exploited today disappear. The overriding emotion for me after that is disappointment. It's football, and United are a good side, so a defeat was always a distinct possibility, but the Rovers were hamstrung from the outset by the line-up and never recovered.
