Although it worked for us yesterday, I would rather Vaughan cut that out moving forwards. 

He was at it throughout the viaplay cup game aswell. Seems to be a part of his game.

I appreciate that you're trying to stand up for the 'keeper but he'll be disappointed that he didn't keep their first goal out.

It was straight at him, he's flat footed and he's gone with his trailing hand.

You’re absolutely right. Even the Witch at the start of his career  with us was a little shaky and hesitant to do the easy stuff. I was trying to cut Big Kev some slack, he will learn from this. The disappointment on his face tells you he could’ve done better. Watson was giving him pelters.

Hope the officials for the upcoming derby deny Raith a clear penalty in retribution for Vaughan’s cheating.

Sit doon.

Hopefully that contributed to our point that ended up papping you fuds out.

Looks very much like we were denied a legitimate early goal.

Both of the defender's feet are behind the line.

Thought it might have been at the time.

Looking at photo it's in line with left leg so 95% chance is over the line.

But like all the other if's , buts and and's it is no odds the game is over, 3 v 2 result stands. Just further validates that the ref was pish.

On to next week.

It's easier to say this because we've won, but I think it was a split second incident. The main stand side linesman would've had to make the call and it's easy to see why it's not been given.

Vaughan has every right to anticipate contact when faced with such an aggressive team and fanbase IMO.

Watched Murrays interview, thought he was absolutely spot on with everything he said, felt he was very diplomatic in fairness.

I know you’re pure excited about the big game but it’s a whole two weeks away, we know you’ve got nothing else to look forward to before then but we really need to concentrate on our upcoming game with Hibernian in the League Cup.  It’s the round where all the diddy teams are out.  If you’re stuck for football perhaps see if Falkirk are up for a friendly as they’ve nothing on next weekend either.

Thankfully not, he ended up missing a penalty so that we won. He was probably tired from all that falling over, very silly of him.

Oaft, getting that excited over a last 16 cup tie. Wee team indeed.

I genuinely can’t believe you’ve bitten to that tbh.

Nor that you’re flexing about getting beat by Hibs in the League Cup.

Just a reminder that you 'won' a bonus point that ended up meaning absolutely nothing to anyone, whereas the mighty Raith sailed through to the next round and guaranteed more than enough cash to sign Byrne to sit on our bench and GIRUY once again.

On the contrary, it seems to have really upset you, a win-win all round!

Anticipate contact is up there with the biggest nonsense buzzwords in football these days. Along with "he's entitled to go down".  I know your post is tongue in cheek, its ridiculous that anyone can condone diving and try and find reason for it. Needs to be stamped out of the game.

No, just been mentioned said several times already on this thread alone.

Watched the highlights and as I thought at the time the first penalty award is a really poor decision however if it was up the other end I'd be claiming for it myself.
