    How have we contrived to lose that game? 

    Even a draw would have felt like a defeat. 

    We're flying at 2-1 and Robin makes two unforced (?) substitutions. 

    Can anyone explain this logic?

    Do you not back the lineup that's got us back into the game.....?

    These idiotic tactical blunders have got to stop.

    A win today could have been season defining. 

    I'm absolutely gutted. 

    Tbh I felt your right back was walking a tight rope for a red.

    Look at the players we've got on the park and it's no surprise that set pieces aren't our strong suit. It was particularly apparent on Tuesday night. 

    Morton had Jack Baird, Kirk Broadfoot, Tyler French as a back three, Iain Wilson in midfield, and George Oakley and Robbie Muirhead up front. All six of those are 6 foot plus, big units who'll win headers all day if you let them.

    We've got Euan Murray. If you want to stretch it, Liam Dick and Scott Brown are fine in the air, but to borrow a phrase from Euan Murray himself, they're not meatheads. Even if Keith Watson is still out, just having Jack Hamilton on the park to dig in at set pieces would be a huge help. 

    It's just a reality of the squad we've got. You can't be all things at all times, and we're understandably vulnerable at set pieces at the time being. 

    Ross Millen is probably one of our tallest outfield players, but the shitest in the air.

     

  3. Happy with the win, been a long time since I’ve seen us win at there.

    Josh Mullin could have been bagging a hatrick last night, hit the bar, delayed a shot from Vaughan cut back, and then ruining a breakaway by running off side.

    lots of praise for Vaughan’s running and effort, but a fair few times his choice of option was poor, could have been fatigue, but if you’re taking the ball into the corner you have to get something out of it.

    Shaun Byrne btw, different level

    Just received the below email from the club about Club 1883 (surprised its not on twitter/website yet). I was one who cancelled the Supporters Fund in protest in January 2022.  I said I would re-join if new leadership came in and am delighted they are relaunching a similar scheme so I can do so. Good to see that the money is ringfenced again, too. Also I know its not the be all and end all but its a much better name! Another good move by the new leadership and hopefully another extra boost to get the club moving in the right direction👏

    Don’t see much of an incentive to upgrade from the £12 to the £20

    The singing section is undoubtedly a good idea but having it at the opposite end of the stadium from the rest of the home fans was always going to be an issue. 

    It's a tired argument at this stage? Two left footed people can't play at cb, whereas two right footed cbs isn't ever questioned... It's akin to saying people aren't good enough because they are too young, which is definitely not a side of the fence you're known for tx. 

    Euan Murray is actually as good with his right foot as he is with his left and has played in every position across a rovers defence. One thing I will say, and he admitted it himself when he signed, he does look like he's lost a yard of pace. 

    What is a yard of pace ?

    over what time period is it measured ?

    With you on 2 left footed Centre Half’s issue v 2 right footed Centre Half’s

    We weren't unlucky, we gave away two soft goals thanks to repeat offenders and have clearly done nothing to try and fix that either through coaching or personnel changes. 

    We made positive changes at half time and on another day might have won the game. I have left games this season, the Partick and Falkirk games in particular thinking we need a full root and branch rebuild to save our season. Yesterday, Chalmers, Murphy, Reading, the two in midfield and Dowds all had a good game.   

    Interesting the perspectives on game, I thought the 1st was excellent play by Raith after a wee bit of keep ball.

    The sight of us keeping the ball whilst Bullen stood there arms crossed shaking his head was glorious, a return to Hoof ball hot you back in the game

    I said that at the time. Probably because the referee had no clue what he was doing.. I was surprised everyone stayed on during the handbags scuffle after McAllister got elbowed in the face as well.

    There was no needle in the first half at all but he kept giving free kicks for nothing and ignoring blatant ones.It didn't affect the result at all but seemed to annoy absolutely everyone

     

     

    Think we all agree the ref was pish
