Raith Rovers  players whining about having to play against part timers was what got us going yesterday according to DC...😀

Unless that whining started happening after 70 minutes, I would doubt that happened.  Also, there are a couple of PT players in our squad,so seems a bit unlikely.

It’s been said elsewhere but the substitutions were the game changer.

We were pretty much in control of the midfield but with little penetration. Their goal did seem to be coming and when it did you could see it gave the Lichties a big lift, but it was the arrival of McKenna and Stewart then really swung possession and gave them more control in the middle. Raith on the other hand were struggling to hold the ball up top, LV was well marshalled by TOB and Little and looked to be struggling all day with his touch.  I think McGlynn had originally planned on bringing on Gozie to try to hold the ball up, but at the last minute went for King to beef up the midfield and counter the loss of control but it didn’t work.  At the end of the day it was all square 2-2 on the park, and off it the real baldy messiah  won the 1st half but uncle Fester took the plaudits for the 2nd.

You do know that Arbroath/DC have previous for this?  You've basically re-written the post match inquest from the QOS v Arbroath game a few weeks ago when we were cruising 2-0 up and DC's substitutions changed the game and it finished 2-2.  As fans our natural tendency is to harangue our own sides for the capitulation, but sometimes we also have to just give some credit to the other side - its all part of the game.
