The season of a league total of 9 points. Two points for the win back then. No home league wins all season, only four draws. Two away wins and a draw. Cuffed 10-0 up at Pittodrie but beat them 3-2 in the Scottish Cup quarter finals at Stark's Park. Totally bizarre! Lost the semi 5-1 to Celtic but it was only 1-1 at HT. Two dubious second half penalties skewed the final score significantly. This hasn't been the best of starts only three games in, and it may yet get worse, but it's got a long way to go to top the 62-63 season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really have to remind me of that 118 goals against that season and that was just the league Edited August 24 by SirJimmyofNic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intention was to illustrate the hysteria around him missing from the lineup. Certainly didnt want it to be taken seriously.

pub car king Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Just seen the highlights. Now owing to the poor camera position. (What's the deal with that by the way. Big new stand on the opposite side and Raith TV have been given an absolutly shite spot?) Anyway it looks to me on what can be seen that Kev has made a mess of the kick out Byrne has then gone down under the challengeas both players went for the loose ball and at some point he's presumably made contact with his hand. If anyone else can provide better footage please do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I was behind the goal and he was definitely clipped. He did that thing that players do where they fall onto the ball and catch it with their hands to try and force the ref to give it in their favour… he obviously didn’t though! He will be suspended for two games so an appeal might be wise if the footage allows! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Tx it's only a one game suspension, I like you thought it was 2 games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did that thing that players do where they feel someone closing them down, anticipate contact from behind and fall down. They should never be considered fouls and I’m shocked that this referee wasn’t conned by it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I’d also argue that he didn’t deny a goal scoring opportunity as the Ayr striker got a shot away so not sure why he changed his mind from yellow to red? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 The red card was correct. He clearly grabbed the ball and he wasn't fouled. It was a horrible touch from a horrible kick by Dabrowski. The fact the guy missed the chance just highlighted how stupid it was to grab the ball. There was a clear foul on Stevenson for the second goal though. Not that it would've changed the outcome right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked the stats on that season, I remember us beating St Johnstone in Dalziels first game in charge, but i cannot for the life of me remember the other two teams we beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions folks? Morrisons my have a time restriction. If you park just along from Morrison ( 100 yards at most aling the road) on the big Esplanade lorry park. It's unrestricted. Has a decent wee take away cafe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
