timlichtie Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The second cracking game of football in 4 days. The points could have gone either way.Wallace going off made a big difference. Neither Spence nor Donnelly seem able to win and hold the ball enough. As a result we were constantly thrown back into defence. Maybe Doris should have come on to play that role.Jamieson the hero again, ably assisted by the daftest penalty I’ve seen in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtielegend Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 At least if the last 2 games have shown us anything, it's that Wallace is our first choice striker without a shadow of a doubt. The threat with and without him is night and day. I think Donnelly is being harshly treated. His height automatically makes people think he's a target man when his strengths are his touch and vision. Spence offered very little yet didn't get half the criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 McKenna won the ball cleanly with a one footed sliding tackle, couldn't believe it was a yellow never mind a red. Excessive force? Come on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC360PUNK1320 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Was on nightshift at work so was not at the game but my son and mates traveled to the game and said we were well worth the point and either team could have nicked the win so a draw was probably the correct result in the end, observations from them were Wallace looked a real threat until he got injured and that Jamieson and Ricky were superb with Bobby excellent again, they also said it was a shame Stevie D never got on but circumstances changed the proposed substitution, they also laughed at the "myth" that Swanks and Pongo cannot play in the same team as they said when the both came on they controlled the game and seen the game out with excellent possession and experience and both were superb. Great result lads and keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The passage of play leading up to Jamieson's save is, in a nutshell, the reason they can't play as a midfield pair. McCord slow to track back despite only being on 15 mins, Gav left in no-mans land between the crossing player and the heading player. They're obviously both good technical players but the only way they'll ever play together is if we're pushing for a goal and, to be fair to Dick, he clearly encouraged us to try and snatch the win after the penalty.

This is more than often seen as foul play by officials and by people who watch football regularly and understand the rules. Often such tackling leads to players who have made these types of tackles being booked, or sent off if deemed serious enough by the match referee. I think that just about covers it and hopefully makes sense to you. May you continue to go to football matches in the future and eventually understand what is allowed and disallowed. I also trust you enjoyed your first live football match viewing experience, nevertheless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said earlier the ref let an awful lot go last night that other more pedantic sorts would have been flashing yellow & red cards at. In saying that Linn won a free kick near the end where he clearly dived & there was absolutely no contact. Now he probably would have been fouled & anticipated the challenge to avoid injury but strictly speaking he dived. Arbroath nearly scored off it too, I would have been raging if they had but they didn't so I wasn't! Thems the breaks! Thoroughly enjoyable Tuesday night though.

EFFC1938 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Docherty comes across as a right cocky/arrogant sort of player but unfortunately he doesn't have the ability to match it and that penalty was awful, you just don't do that when fighting for a play off place with lots of games coming up! Good point in the end and best of wishes to Arbroath next season, hopefully we can join you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby did “anticipate the contact” but dunsmore followed through with his tackle and made contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Fouls before goals, swings and roundabouts!!!We had two claims similarly dismissed on Saturday and Arbroath's winner against us at their place this season involved a more obvious foul which should have been awarded to us in the build up before they scored!!!If anything it just highlights AGAIN the shite level of officiating that we all must endure at this level!!!

afc_36_0 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Agree with most of what’s been said, judging by the highlights a couple of good saves from jamieson and not quite understanding why its not a foul on linn for the build up to east fife’s goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pee Gee Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Jesus! That penalty is even worse than it looked last night. As has happened before with Docherty, it`s all to be about him and sod anyone else! Notice he had previously tweeted that he loved Hazards penalty on Sunday. Well Mark, you are certainly no Hazard and to try that last night was a disgrace! Anyway, great 2nd half performance from us and can go in to Saturday`s game with confidence and with a new penalty taker!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smuggfifer Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ok, I was a bit ragey last night after the game, bit just watched the DY aftermatch interview. He's dealt with it. No need to say any more on the issue. Lesson learned hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
