Felt you pressed well yesterday and played some decent stuff at times. Fair to say officials had a nightmare yesterday. I fully expected the ref to blow for the ball hitting dicks arm. Low & Gold will be back soon which will feel like new players and hopefully Livingston keep winning and it could happen I know the goal is 8th but we are better than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see more than one or at a push two of the current bottom five finishing ahead of you so 6th, or 7th at worst, is easily achievable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUAFC Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Thanks for clearing that up. Still reads like a rant, but if I've managed to follow, you blame the manager for his tactics and the fans for not supporting. I guess I really must be simple for not being able to follow your logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactics got us to the best part time team in the county, 5th in the championship while being the 2nd top goal scorers in the league, Along with praise from other teams commenting we are one of the best teams they have faced,I'll take that all day long, like it's pointed out it wasn't that long ago we near finished bottom of league 2, I 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC has taken us from nowhere to somewhere in quick time. Of course I sometimes wonder about a selection or a subby or a post match remark but overall he’s been brilliant for us. To get caught up in minor quibbles is madness IMO. Totally agree about slagging our own players. This too does no good whatsoever. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't too long ago a lot of people, and I'm probably included in this, dismissed him as a yesterday's man. Fair play to the guy as a lot of full time teams would happily snap him up if they had a chance of getting him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was managing Forfar at Gayfield one night and went parading down the touchline, right past our dugout, to berate the linesman. Cut a pretty daft figure. Not so now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 We were pretty hopeless here but Raith are a really good side and well deserved that win. Do not understand bringing JT back in out of the blue against the best winger in the league just now. Do not understand why Hilson is playing left wing when Nicky Low is not playing. Absolutely zero creativity Or magic from midfield. If Hilson is to play from the start it needs to be in McKennas position. If he plays left wing it should be as a substitution when we are trying to defend a lead. Raith will challenge for the title I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need extra creativity when Low is missing. JT is a tougher one as the only way he's going to get fit is to play him so I get that logic a bit more. I probably would have kept Hamilton in though as he has been solid. What's the issue with Gold. Facebook page and the paper both said we had the full squad minus Low available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw that, but imagine it was tame in comparison to his remonstration on the pitch at Ayr in the Scottish Cup a few years back. Although, to be fair, he had every right to lose the plot at the referee that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
