And we seemed to have 21/22 spec Chalmers rather than 22/23 spec. McCann definitely motm. Raith seem to have signed a load of good attacking players but I'm really not sure about that defence, and Dabrowski didn't do anything to change my poor opinion of him after seeing him for QotS. Will be putting money on both teams to score every Airdrie v Raith game over the season - printing money. I would expect that back line to be different when we play in August. Thought it was a decent game to be honest. Neither side are complete yet, as solid as Dunfermline were they look even worse in the final third than us - Wighton is a bit shit. Felt Rovers played some lovely stuff at times, but ultimately not a huge amount to show for it. Draw was about right, although some good saves from the Pars goalie in that 2nd half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That defence included a midfielder at right back and a youngster playing his first senior competitive game in anything other than Lowland League. We're still shopping for defenders and nursing Millen back to fitness. But aye, Dabrowski has to work a bit harder to convince most of us I think. He IS dishy though, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Since it changed format I’ve not went to many of our League Cup games as they usually have the feeling of being glorified friendlies. This was pretty decent though especially in the first half. Thought the Pars keeper looked much better than ours , which was probably why we didn’t win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the Diver Vaughan for them they’d have brought out a commemorative poster and T-shirt by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Quite a bit of stick for Otoo from my family whilst watching that. Although I thought he was a bit iffy in midfield, he is absolutely fine at centre-half, and will be a great player for us there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the fault of the bar staff, they did their best, but there just weren't enough of them to serve everyone. Waited almost 15 minutes to be served before giving up and fucking off up the street to Alfie's where we got served right away. Stayed there until leaving for the game. Was absolutely soaked on the way to the game. Got caught in the pishing downpour. Was fucking roasting after the game though. Polis were being knobs at the train station and confiscating booze from folk. Had to hide my bottles down my jeans. Train conductor was sound. Clearly saw the beer and didn't care. O’Connells is the gajy toon o a bar. Bar staff making venoms hence a big wait on a peeve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We completely fell out of the midfield when he went to CB as Allan and Chalmers don't have the same physical presence or instinct to break up the play.

roy of the rovers Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I see Raith have set the prices for our visit on Tuesday as £12 adults, £6 over 65 or under 21 and £3 under 12's. Not bad, they're plugging buying tickets online, is it likely they'll be a cash gate too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be a cash gate as such, but you can buy your ticket from a pod right outside the stand then scan it at the turnstile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might (we got through with 8 last season) but it's very unlikely. You'll have to get something against Kilmarnock too almost certainly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
