CountryBumpkin Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 59 minutes ago, da_no_1 said: Sorry but that's not correct. We were well on top when you opened the scoring. It ended up 3-0 so looked like a battering but we only "chucked it" when went down to 10 men. Raith Rovers 3 – 0 Dunfermline Athletic | Raith Rovers FC I remember Dunfermline being on top for long periods of that without doing much aside from shooting straight at Thomson when it was much easier to score. Though looking at that line up of Higgenbotham, Hypolyte and El Bakhtaui, its fairly understandable why it finished with no goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll feel that when he gets a chance to break into the team at Thistle, he can do the same as he did with us. He'll be on more money with them and has the safety of a longer deal. We struggled defensively both before and after he left so it's much of a muchness, but time will tell whether both James Brown and Ashcroft change that for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ i was just offering another view on the game, one that your own club website agreed with. Obviously we ended up getting skelped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Typical Glasgow club taking other teams players mid-season then not playing them, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair they didn't take our players he was a free agent. Now we have Ashcroft I'm not too fussed O'Reillys away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Rovers 3 – 0 Dunfermline Athletic | Raith Rovers FC That's fair enough, my memory was probably tinted by the scoreline. Don't remember much of the game itself outside of the goals and sending off - which is probably becau we didnt do much of note up until then. I'd still count a 3-0 loss as a battering regardless, especially against lower league opposition in a competitive game.

I've repeatedly said it ended up being a battering/skelping/doing/humping but up until the sending off it was a game we should have had tied up, which seems to have upset a few folk. I'll be on my way now lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were having digs at goal too, albeit wild ones, with Kallum Higginbotham and Faissal El Bakhtaoui both trying their luck from 25-yards out, but their attempts sailed impotently into the home end. slight exaggeration but it’s been a tough season , you can have it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Was that not the match that Hyppolite missed an absolute sitter in front of the South Stand? To be fair it was a cracking save by Thomson but he should never have been given a sniff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
