In the space of a week we have virtually handed the title to Raith. Theirs to lose now. However, once the seething and gloating are over, it is indisputable that Forfar were incredibly lucky to win that game. On another day that could have easily been six or seven nil to Ayr. The stats tell their own story. But that’s football. You get lucky wins and unlucky defeats all the time. That, however, is the luckiest win I’ve seen in decades of watching football. It was very hard to believe at the end. Two nil up with 17 minutes to go, cruising against a team at the bottom of the league that had averaged less than a goal a game and had already lost 8-0 to us over two games this season. What could possibly go wrong. Even I, as a born pessimist when it comes to football, reckoned it was in the bag. Normally I’m only comfortable when we’re 3 ahead with 5 minutes to go, but Forfar had been so toothless it was hard to imagine them scoring one, let alone three. The only slightly disappointing thing was that we hadn’t scored at least six. Their goalie had one those days where he was stopping everything. Maybe it was just a lucky day for him, but it was the best display of goalkeeping I’ve seen in many years. Then our always suspect defence decided to go haywire and let Forfar have 3 shots on goal, all of which went in. Our goalie was very suspect at two of them. So I suppose it boiled down to a game of two goalies. Amazing how often in football a good run is followed by a bad one when it ends. We can’t afford to let that continue . It will be hard to regain confidence after that absolute disaster but Stranraer on Tuesday has suddenly become a must win game. Is that where your problem lies , your defence is poor however going forward your fairly prolific in terms of goals scored?Maybe that’s how we are only 2 points behind now because I’m sure we have only conceded 3 goals at home. Is it not the case it’s the way McCall plays/ sets up the team? Either way if you can’t defend your asking for trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levenmouth Rover Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Ayr have been dodging bullets for weeks. Late goals for a good few weeks including two to scrape past Queens Park. Although you eventually won at Methil the Fife should have been four up at half time. That ‘going up” song must be sticking in your throats tonight.

Everyone is still in gloating mode of various degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 There's plenty twists and turns yet and both teams have shown they are capable of some daft results. Seeing as we play Forfar then Ayr, I think it's a bit daft to gloat. That said, the 4-0 predictions are a bit funny now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm86 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Totally disingenuous Dindeleux. You know fine what the phrase “on another day” means. Simply if the luck had gone the other way we could easily have won at least 6-0. Unless you believe the concept of luck has no place in football matches. Could be the basis of an interesting philosophical discussion on the part that pure chance plays in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hadn't been for Moffatt scoring right on half time i think he would probably have been taken off at the break for Moore because I've no idea how he lasted the 90 minutes. How much for your goalie Forfar, do you wish a goalie called Jordan Hart as a swap? Close to the first thing Weir did on arrival was tying the keeper in to the end of season 2018-19.

jm86 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Got it in one Basher Brash. Our prolific goal scoring has covered up our defensive frailties all season. If, for whatever reason, we don’t score heavily, we’re always dicing with defeat. Our attack and your defence would make some team at this level. McCall, I suppose, sets up the team to play to our strengths and hopes our defensive deficiencies don’t scupper us. I don’t like to single players out, but the goalie cost us today as he did up at Kirkcaldy where you, no doubt, witnessed the two softies he conceded against you. I thought he had got over the Kirkcaldy disaster as he has played reasonably well up to today and saved us a few points in tight games. Maybe today he had so little to do he got caught cold at the end. We’ll have to hope Raith toss away a few points before May, but despite playing shite for most of the season (according to their own fans) they keep grinding out the results. Anyway, long way to go. Anything can happen over the remaining games. I just wish our fans didn’t indulge in all this “league’s won” crap or, even worse, the “invincible” rubbish.

steely59 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It is starting to look like a repeat of a few seasons back when Ayr and Raith were fighting for the title and the Ayr fans were bumping their gums about winning the league and who in the end won it. NOT FECKING AYR. COYR but a long way to go yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
