Some of our "supporters" are an embarrassment. Millen fluffs one cross and there's a chorus of boos from the back. These idiots never saw or forgot abiut his cross for our goal. The same idiots booing in last 10 when we were out of ideas and booing again at the final whistle. What's wrong with these people? Do we have the worst supporters in the league? No, I didn't enjoy it either, but hands up if you think booing your own team at home helps them play better.

Fuds.

Why have we forgotten how to play football of a sudden, sit somewhere else in the stadium if you don’t like hurty words. The trajectory of the club is going downwards. But it’s easier to blame the fans being a wee bit upset at the garbage we pay to watch. A gormless idiot for a manager and a twisted old b*****d in Sim’s desperation to sell the club because of his mind boggling mistakes. Oh and still greeting about Goodwillie.

This shambles has been ongoing since last November under McGlynn and now being carried on by Murray, either they were are out of their depth or most of the players are

Why is Murray playing Stanton so far back? Huge difference when he's pushing forward towards the opposition box.

We're so one dimensional, so easy to read.

He started Stanton at 10, to be fair, then moved him out left (with a lot of licence to come inside) when Ross went off. 

My issue is that when he decided he wanted Easton on, it was Spencer who went off and Stanton dropped into the base of the midfield. 

If Stanton was a better option than Spencer in that role, he'd have shown it in his ample opportunities before Spencer came back from injury. Stanton has been very good at points this season, but he's not a universal option who can play anywhere. 

We've seen it more starkly in games when we're losing, but I really don't like how quick Murray is to abandon his own ideas. The base of the midfield that you're starting a game with should be robust enough to cope with winning, losing and drawing during games. If he thinks that's Stanton and Brown, so be it, but start that way, and don't then throw it in the bin at the first sign of hardship.

Murray hasn’t a clue what his best team is, he is trying everyone at the moment hoping something works, except big John and Mcbride , even easton is out of favour, desperate stuff

Good to see the majority are now waking up to Murray's failings. 

His only tactic is shoot to the South Stand end first half and hope we somehow go 2 or 3 goals ahead. If that doesn't happen he's absolutely lost. 

In summary, boooo.

Easton is out of favour because he's utter garbage. He's well and truly out of his depth at this level.

The club has went downhill since that awful signing we made along with Mcglynns stinking loyalty to certain first team regulars and outlandish contract extensions if rumours are true , The club have never recovered hence why Mcglynn rejected a new contract offer probably because the budget he was offered . Murray obviously accepted the job on the basis of managing in the championship and probably was offered the same budget as Mcglynn however it’s clear the budget is well short of what’s required because look at Murray’s recruitment young loan signings and a couple of punts . We had so many first team regulars out injured so we were stuck in getting replacements for them throw in Gullan and Zanatta aswell most of his budget was spoken for . No surprise Sim is wanting to sell the club he’s undone all the good work previously with some monumental poor decisions , Goodwillie , Karen McCartney , numerous Shocking statements etc Yet it appears it’s all Murray’s fault ! This team isn’t far away but we are where we are on the resources available

I don’t think I’ve ever ‘booed’ myself and agree it’s counter-productive in the middle of the game. But it’s pretty hard to come to the conclusion the team didn’t deserve every single bit of it at full-time. 
 

We are absolutely shite. Possibly somehow worse than the second half of last season.

For once I agree with you. But the true facts are that Murray has the charisma of a corpse. His dealings in the transfer market have been as bad as Anelka’s. The only exception is Scott Brown.

You really do come across as an absolute cretin. Not really a surprise you're off using phrases from 4chan aimed at mocking those with autism. Get a grip. 

That was an advert on every reason on how bad football can be at this level. Arbroath played with very little intent other than keeping us at bay in the second half. After Spencer went off, we lacked the ability to move the ball forward. 

Millen and McNeil were the only two positives. As soon as the 50th minute hit and folk started losing the plot, the players started to go into their shell. There's no atmosphere in our home games.  I'd prefer we moved back to shooting into the south stand in the second half.

Some save from Gaston at the end right enough.

Raith signed a rapist. Let’s just remember that

Cementing our claim as draw specialists.  Probably had the edge overall but a couple of decent saves earned Raith the point.  They looked less likely than us and created zero - we did little better and this was a great opportunity to grab a third win of the season.  That said, I’ve never such a depleted bench, I think we used all available subs and Oakley’s injury is an added concern.  
Bobby had his quietest game of the season but Shanks couldn’t do much.  Thought Hoti and Bitsindou looked good, Fosu was showed presence up top and nice to see Hilly buzzing around.

Wow.

Are you genuinely saying that Ngwenya,  Millen, O Riordan, Nolan etc are as bad as Anelka's signings? That is absolutely unbelievable.
