Raith Against The Machine Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Hard to be too bothered by that, to be honest. Play that second half 100 times and we score by hook or by crook in about 95 of them. You've just got to congratulate Accies. There are things we could've done differently, of course. I'd have had Ngwenya on for Dick the second the red card came out, for one, but ultimately that wasn't an embarrassment or anything. The Rovers created enough chances to win two games but bad luck and astonishing goalkeeping kept them out. These things happen. You take it on the chin and you move on. Enjoy it, Accies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) We made a huge mistake taking Isma off and not altering the approach. I know Hamilton had a backs to the wall job on their hands after the red card, but we took off our only forward with physical presence and continued playing as if he was still there. You will always struggle a bit to break down resistance in these circumstances so at least keep a player capable in the air in there. A very, very poor call that one. Nevertheless, Hamilton played the game brilliantly after suffering a huge setback. That red card was an absolute joke. I know we have our own history with Colin Steven, but he really is beyond help. Should be nowhere near refereeing at this level. Edited March 26, 2023 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Well played and well deserved accies, especially Ryan fulton. Enjoy your night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Fair play to Accies. No idea how we didn't score, but there were far too many moments where we dallied on the ball and didn't ever look like we had any idea other than hoping for a break of the ball. We've had a remarkable run in the cup. Hope the Accies fans enjoy their night! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Raith fans seem to be following the Ibrox mob's example by fucking off at full time after a final defeat. Poor show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Well played Accies. Ultimately, the manager got that wrong tbh. Taking Isma off was the wrong call, Vaughan was the obvious option. After not scoring in that 5 minute period after the red card - we had absolutely zero physical threat and ended up not really making the numerical advantage tell too much - after a frantic 10 minute period - and ended up with about 6 attacking players on the pitch all trying to do the same thing. Some fantastic goalkeeping and defending, and there was chances, but can't help but feel that wasn't the right way to play against 10 men. The set pieces especially were dreadful.

ScottR96 Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Well done Accies. Going out to the eventual winners always softens the blow somewhat. Delighted for John Rankin, too. Brilliant player in one of my favourite ever Clyde teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isma was rank rotten when he was on and holding his back for about ten minutes before he went off. If he’d been left on, the likelihood is he’d have kept doing nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isma was poor, but he was left isolated tbh and having to deal with punts forward. Which as we've seen, isn't his game. We had 40 minutes with a huge amount of set pieces, with no centre forward and no physical presence, yet floated balls into the box that were a dream to defend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outcry over VAR is drowning out the problems that exist in the three lower divisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
