Dunfermline Athletic v Greenock Morton


Recommended Posts

The penalty decision demonstrates the nonsense implementation of handball right now as well. Nesbitt gets penalised for a ball that drops and grazes his arm unsighted because the Dunfermline player made a total arse of timing his jump directly in front of him. You can't reasonably be expected to anticipate that and take evasive action. 

Good technique from McAlister for the first goal and we do seem to be more willing to break forward as a team rather than just pump the ball up to a forward while the rest of the team stays camped on the edge of their own box.

I will be an extremely happy man if I never see that millions logo in my life ever again.

If there is one team I seriously cannot be arsed to see us up against it’s Morton. We need to get out this league asap. These German lads better make it happen soon [emoji23]

We’ve been done in the past by decisions like the handball and a bonafide goal not given. These things “even-ing themselves out” didn’t even help yesterday. Morton’s game plan was spot on.

It’s frustrating, your going to get moments in games and over the season where you get lucky and moments where your unlucky.  It’s crucial that you take advantage when you get some luck as when the bad luck happens sure as hell your opponent isn’t going sit back and be sympathetic.

Aye, these things happen to every club.  It's taken 2 years, but the "goal" not given for Morton on Saturday was I suppose the evening-up of the "goal" at Firhill that turned into a throw-in for Morton in an even more ridiculous decision the day after Ray McKinnon slithered off under the Cappielow exit door.  Still, in both cases the mistake didn't alter the eventual result.

Do...do Raith fans think we get upset at that cup defeat? It was nearly two years ago and, whilst it was shite at the time, was soon forgotten.

I understand why Raith fans enjoy it obviously, but it doesn't have any more relevance than me posting photos from our 2-5 win at Starks in 1994.
