roverthemoon Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 What a win. Not pretty but effective. At the time I thought the penalty award was fortunate, but looking back at that video it’s an absolute stonewaller. Thought Kilmarnock looked a bit toothless up front. Never really threatened to score. The return from the second quarter is fantastic. Win next week and it’s even better. Absolutely adore this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not read this thread, but according to the Killie forum he was cupping his ears and clapping the Kilmarnock fans as they were shouting GTF at him.

What a bitter arse. ‘They had nothing’ he says at one point, but my favourite is ‘There’s even a doubt if it even hits his hand.’ Aye Tommy, you’re right… 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top class shithousery from the fat grass. Peter Grant giving the fans a wee clap as they roasted him immediately preceded the mad Dunfermline statement calling out their supporters. I hope we get a similar Killie statement today. As for the penalty, McGlynn's clarified his comments a wee bit in his Courier interview this morning. I enjoy the diplomacy in his subtle switch from "I told Tommy..." to "their bench have jumped...". Stops short of actively calling Tommy Wright a haver, although he clearly is one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like us with league one (and what Falkirk are experiencing at the moment). You think it'll be a fun experience to go to some grounds your team hasn't played at for years, but then all of a sudden the games are of a poorer quality, and the football isn't nearly as open. If Killie win this season, it will feel like they've done their job. If your opponents win, they'll see it as a scalp. It won't help that there's been a real drop in standard in the players who have been brought in. Even before yesterday, most Rovers fans I spoke to were confident of a win and thought Killie were there for the taking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, you see some over the top celebrations from teams and it comes back to bite them in the arse - there's probably folk saying "they're acting like they've won the league" but the context of this is important. We lost Spencer to injury in a horrible incident last week so you'd imagine the mood might not have been the best. But they went out and got the job done - the last ten minutes was full of Rovers players chucking themselves at crosses and shots. To get up to 15 games unbeaten at any level is tremendous - to do it with our resources is frankly absurd. Have to say, I really hope Raith TV keep the pitch side camera. Motherwell have folk on the pitch immediately after games with cameras and it really adds a rawness to the footage. It's perfect for stuff lime the penalty incident yesterday, where it clears up beyond doubt that (and I can't believe I'm saying this) that Collum got the call spot on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been going too long Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 13 hours ago, TxRover said: I’d love to see him get a full half+ sometime before Tait leaves. He will have flaws and weaknesses, but right now he is very reminiscent of Dylan trying to break into the first team. Where I had previously suggested that Arnott might go out on loan to a League One team after January, I cannot see that happening now, as he clearly appears ready for this level from limited viewing. I agree and yeah would like to see him get some more game time as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Pretty awful game really, played like a cup final with 2 evenly matched teams apparently more concerned about losing than winning (at least until the penalty). Defences both well on top and with both Berra and Lang picking up the MotM awards it tells its own story. Hemming didn't have a save to make other than the penalty, it was our only shot on target and MacDonald was clearly the busier of the two. On the penalty, it was the correct decision as Varian was in on goal had the ball not been stopped illegally, I thought Zanatta's strike most unconvincing. Some awful shooting and too many times we took the wrong option but who care a win is a win. Tom Lang is an amazing find as could be young Arron Arnott. Incidentally I think Arnott came on for Tait as he had taken a knock just before that. Regan Hendry is supposedly quoted as saying Arnott is the best player he's ever seen at that age, he looks an outstanding prospect. I reckon he'll more than fill Dylan Tait's boots and in time will make Rovers more money than the combined transfers of Bowie and Tait.

Also mentioned the game v us somehow too like they were really unlucky but I’d say we edged it. Guys lost it and seems like an angry guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
