jm86 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Agree with Ayrmad re first EF goal. Ball swerved like a balloon and also dipped right in front of the goalie. A nightmare ball to deal with. A better, more experienced goalie would probably hustle it away somehow, but some of the criticism has been over harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can honestly say that experience tells me that there is no way East Fife would get a penalty at Somerset Park for a similar incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, it was a clear cut penalty, your man made no attempt to get to the ball and instead chose to wrap both arms around our player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think we were part of the old firm, I've witnessed Ayr being refused dozens of certain penalties at Somerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry your eyes and stop being paranoid referee was straight on the spot and booked him it's a free kick anywhere else on the pitch about time this thing was clamped down on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New denotes something that you've never witnessed before. Also, your second question mark is superfluous as you're making a statement, not asking a question. You thick Fife twat.

Mon_The_Fife Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Glad to have helped Ayr march on towards the league title. Looking at your fixtures I reckon Alloa away will be your toughest game however you can probably afford to lose that with your superior goal difference anyway.As for us, we just need 1 point to survive or wait for QP and Albion Rovers not to win 4 in a row and eagerly await the Raith thumping again next season.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Can't defend the 'keeper there. He looks like he was in two minds about using his foot or hand to save the shot. Just get something behind it. Penalty all day long too. EF's number 6 is clearly holding the Ayr player. Fanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll agree about consistency but put your conspiracy theory in the bin. You just have to hope the poor decisions balance out. Which this wasn't it's a clear penalty, you should be annoyed at your #6 not blaming the ref! As for penalties at Somerset - start of the season at home to Alloa we conceded a penalty for hand ball. Jamie Adams headed the ball, the video evidence was clear. It cost us 2 points that day. We get dodgy decisions for and against us just like everyone else.

east fife for life Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Referees and officials have been terrible all season so it's to be expected these days! I'd rather Ayr won the league anyway so it's not all bad. Who have we got signed up for next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 You can see the same player attempting to wrestle Bell to the ground when he scored. Outstanding to manage to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 8 hours ago, ayrmad said: I've not been shy at criticising keepers but I think Ruddy is taking way too much flak for the 1st, the ball is travelling like a beach ball, unfortunately the keeper has already decided where it's going before it's stopped moving around. I totally agree with you. Ruddy was made to look like an eejit but you can see how he was deceived by the flight of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Wouldn't be the first time I've seen a loan player not bothering his shirt. If it's not his attitude that's the problem, then I can only conclude that he is pish. Seriously, were you at the game today caller? A total howler and he looked like he couldn't give a f***. Goalkeepers don’t exactly have to put much effort in. To say that he wasn’t trying to save it is just mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraEFFC Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 To clear one thing up, which will be shown on the East Fife highlights, the first goal was at least 5-yards onside. As far as officials go they are far from the worst. You only have to look at our game v Raith on Tuesday to see poor refereeing....still can’t believe Spence didn’t even get booked for that tackle! You can’t blame the officials for us not winning yesterday. We had a great chance to go 3-1 up which we didn’t take, then conceded yet another goal from a corner.

The ball moves but it's not like it moves right in front of him. A goalkeeper should save those all day. I'll be glad to see the back of him.

We'll just need to back him 'til the end of the season, the defence as a unit has looked far better far more often, who plays doesn't bother me as long as the best unit is on the park.
