Big Berk Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I thought Arbroath were just about worth their point. Fouled their way through the game tho, reminiscent of Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a fucking shift. Great on the ball too, few really good runs and lay offs. I think he was decent in his first two games but from the sounds of it he was great Tuesday and today again too, bit of confidence and settled in to the team clearly helping. Throws himself into everything. Why can’t you just get behind the guy I don’t get it? [emoji4]I really like Swankie too by the way think he was decent today but been a bit up and down over the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen us being called Hatchet men on social media which has raised a smile. I didn’t see it at all. I think Ian Davidson alone had more fouls in the last game at Starks than we had today.

Big lichtie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 first of all 1320 one swallow doesnt make a summer . yes he was ok today is he better than we have is he worth paying money for we send hester on loan and give wallace a 2 year deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Didn't look good at any point after the first 20 minutes. The stubbornness of Barry Smith to persist with Buchanan is really harming us. Arbroath were a tidy side and worth the draw. I understand the Rovers support are highly critical, but challenging fans to a square go is just nonsense. Added to that Barr was absolutely awful again.

keptie Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well deserved draw for Arbroath didn't deserve to lose that Raith certainly weren't any better than us, losing both goals from corners was pretty frustrating but we kept going and got our reward and as said McKenna was everywhere put in a great shift but a good team performance all round. Hardly fouled our way through the game Raith players going to ground pretty easily. Good away point and looked the likelier at the end to get all three.

buchan30 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Under the letter of the law it was a penalty. The fact it's never really enforced and if it is, the 'keeper usually gets a warning first would make me say its not a penalty. . Was there not a ref in scotland either this season or last that handed out 3 penalties for pushing in the box in one game? Everyone thought all refs would follow suit, but they never and he didn’t award any more penalties for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Might be a bit unpopular but I really don't think we look any better at the back with Benedictus back in. I would happily have had Mckay in there until he was fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 As you say the inconsistency is the most infuriating thing about it being given, but he did clearly push him and that ref was in a mood that he was going to give a foul like that.

But you mentioning bobby madden helped narrow down the search for it[emoji106]http://www.espn.com/soccer/report?gameId=449428After that they just stopped awarding penalties for it. A shame because it was what fans wanted stamped out by the only way they seen possible and that was awarding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in trying to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you love McCord, all us do, but he’s not been at his best this season and when there’s a squad this good if you fall out the team you need to keep yourself at it to get back in and doesn’t look like that’s happened. McKenna well worthy of his position and glad he’s here. Wallace got off to a good start, the last couple of weeks I think he’s been pretty poor, but he’s got a good record and a good career in the lower leagues. It’s ashame Hester’s away on loan but I’m not sure he’s good enough to be a starter for us yet, I think he needs a lot of games and he’s not getting that here so going on loan makes sense.

grumswall Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 As a former 'keeper at a shit level admittedly it always happened. You get the guy sitting on you trying to get you inside his arse so you either stick a finger up instead or give him a slight shove to create a yard of space for you to take the ball. If it's a penalty for that surely it should be a foul for the guy pushing you back into the goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growl3th Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Was never a penalty! The Arbroath player was elbowing Lennox in the ribs and he pushed him away. How there were only 4 bookings for Arbroath escapes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Supremely disappointing to not win, to throw it away in the last minute for the second week in a row is hard to take. If Lennox has indeed shoved the lad then fair enough, I nor anyone around me had the faintest idea what the penalty was given for at the time. I’ll wait and see the highlights before making further comment.I feel like a broken record but I’ll say it again, Vaughan in midfield is a waste. Smith has signed the boy Hendry and played him for about 35 seconds, and he’s getting a pretty easy ride about it. He’s his own signing, and he’d rather play our best player out of position than put him in. That is not good use of the budget in anyone’s eyes. Robertson is obviously a huge miss as well, we completely went to shit when he went off. A huge deflection on the equaliser but the ball should’ve been cleared. Mcintosh made an arse of his first touch and still had time to get it out his feet and get a shot away. Just doesn’t feel like a season where we’re going to win the league. I’m not saying it’s not going to happen, but there’s just a general shite feeling about us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
