chimney Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Davo is an absolute embarrassment, he knew exactly what he was doing and the impact it would have on the the team. He let himself (least of his worries), team mates, club & supporters all down. The rhetoric from the players after the game towards Davo shows exactly what little respect they have for him now. His time is definitely up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'd think that with ICT the law of averages would apply... We were the architects of our own downfall tonight. Caley did well with the chance when it came along and probably were unlucky not to have a few more. It's wasn't one sided but they definitely had the best chances and deserved the win. But it's completely frustrating to lose in such a pedestrian manner. As mentioned, the lack of plan B is an issue. We didn't help ourselves leaving Gozie on when he'd done so little. We really need to put in a solid performance on Saturday but I'm not at all confident given how far off it we've looked the last few games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ugwu is defo a 75 min sub material. Just get Duku back for an attitude emergency. If we stay championship give Mendy a new contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we've been piss poor up front; as I said earlier its one thing to have slick midfielders but no one to finish the moves. Nevertheless, the game ran for ICT, the breaks and the refereeing all going their way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our top scorer. Is it 10 goals he’s got between league games and League Cup games? Who is our next top scorer after that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 That'll be Davidson out for the next two games through his utter recklessness, he needs put out to pasture now or used as the one up front lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 The more I watch the red card , it looks like Davidson was made a target to be sent off , the reaction from the caley players makes you wonder if that was the case 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Saturday is huge now and has the potential to define our season. Win and we’re back in the hunt for a play off up. Lose and we are looking downwards I’m afraid. 2 points from 3 games against Ayr and ICT is a very poor return. If we come away with 2 points from 4 games against them both then it’ll be an extremely worrying run of form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously after a standard grim midweek game you could walk it off on the way to the train station, talk shite with your pals to take your mind off of it. Even get a pint in on the way home. Now you just wait for the full time whistle, close the tab and stare at a fucking wall for ten minutes. I have found this the last few games. The frustration of watching us fail to get the better of Ayr last week had me angrier than I’ve been after a Rovers match for years and it wasn’t even a defeat. Definitely suffering from the lack of the pre and post match rituals to soften the blow. Perhaps it’s also because there’s so little else going on in life that we’re all relying on Rovers for some much needed entertainment and then you sit and watch a sub par performance and it feels like they’ve let you down even more maybe. Weirdly, tonight wasn’t as bad because I was totally expecting us to be shite and to lose. The first five minutes you could tell we were in for another insipid midweek Rovers performance so I never once had my hopes up. The sending off just reinforced that, although ironically we came into the game later on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Davo get annoyed at the 1:10 mark as he feels he was fouled and the ref ignored it. He charged at the player and swerved toward the ref, arm up yelling. Shortly after that, it looks like he jumped over the ICT player and perhaps made head to head contact, but also followed through with an arm shoving the player down. Even worse, he then steps forward to yell at the downed player, after getting a red, and then scuffles with two ICT players who took issue with his behavior, including grabbing a throat of another ICT player. I expect 2 games for the initial red and 1-3 more games for the violent response. I see no grounds for an appeal by the Rovers with any hope of success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I feel like the video can't be showing the full picture, because it looks like Davidson just has his arm over the boy's shoulder. Even if he's pushing across, he doesn't look to have the momentum or the force to warrant a red card. The way the other players react, though, does suggest there was something more to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 There's definitely not enough in the footage to show why the red was given. However it is noticeable that as well as the reaction of the ICT players, there's also a lack of outrage from the Rovers players so there must be something in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
