This is the diddy cup , not the not so diddy league cup. It's the Premiership U20s and strange addition of Welsh and Irish clubs who get to enter at a later stage that I take exception to. I was hoping Locke would field a much weakened team today, although injuries sadly forced his hand otherwise. All the best to Forfar in the next round.

Paco Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Not bothered at all about going out, never good to lose three goals though. How was Brennan? Wasn't massively convinced by him at Tannadice. The two JT's will come back next week and we'll be much better for it. Shame it would appear Stewart/Davidson didn't do more to deserve to play next week but so be it. Good luck to Forfar in the next round. Great start they've had.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Well done to Forfar, we were done to a crisp today. For us next week I hope that Joel Coustrain has shown enough of himself to get a start, the lad worked hard for the 20 odd minutes he was on the pitch.

A reality check today and should ground folks' feet firmly. Why would you have been going midweek? Did you need to acclimatise or something?

How was Brennan? Wasn't massively convinced by him at Tannadice. First one came from a fair distance, but it was a great hit. Think it'd be difficult to criticise the goalkeeper. Second he was faultless, freekick was smashed into the wall, but it squirmed through and was on a plate for the striker. Third one I don't think he had much chance for either, I'd be pointing the finger at big M'Voto for that one. We had the same problem we always have when Thomson is missing. Not enough drive down the right hand side. Matthews is clearly better suited to the central midfield role. As noted above, it's a shame we had the injuries we did, or we could've thrown in Osei and given Coustrain a longer run. As it was, we just looked a little disjointed and, at times, a little uninterested. Quite clear nobody gives a f**k about this competition. Final word on the referee, who was absolutely dreadful. In the second half alone he gave the Rovers three corners that we should never have had, including the one for the goal. Just a total clown.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Did anyone see any fracas at the tunnel at the end of the game? Someone mentioned folk getting pulled away and the ref getting cards out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 Did anyone see any fracas at the tunnel at the end of the game? Someone mentioned folk getting pulled away and the ref getting cards out. Wouldn't surprise me. Near the end of the game, Vaughan had the ball at one of Forfars throw-ins, instead of passing the boy the ball, he launched the ball at his puss from 2 feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That lot today were savages, I've not seen the like since bouncers at the Barras ballroom 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No really, you deserved the win. your keeper on the other hand blootered the ball at the only Raithshirts in that area, narrowly missed a bairn and nearly knocked an old woman over, if it had happened during open play nobody would have batted an eyelid but it was from a deadball.

nofixedability Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Adam trolling the fans was a highlight. The Raith goalies hissy fit at the end was also pretty amusing. For all the talk of not caring a lot of folks seemed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
