The overall mix was County had more players of a similar level, plus a couple of game changers. Not worth greeting over, it just shows what we need to do to move up. The gulf is there, the scoreline didn't flatter County in any way, they have better players that can take chances and a keeper who can make saves rather than flap about for the cameras. As I said before, it's time for Rovers to learn from it, get a decent manager in and improve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been hearing how good Raith are all year and then they got bodied home and away by a guff Ross County side. County and St Johnstone are destined to win this fixture for the foreseeable IMO. I think they’ll be be 11th and 12th next season and the one who shitfests their way to second bottom will win the playoff, again. Wait till our new American owners start throwing dollars around.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seemed to shite it every time you had a chance to put real pressure on. Yes, it's been a great season up to a point, but if you don't go up it's a hell of a missed opportunity. Nah, hear this a lot but you are basically saying if they had won almost every game then Utd were in trouble which is undoubtedly true. If they hadn't sclaffed in two worldies against us over winter it isn't even close. Raith would have to be close to once in a 10 year event to be beating our points total. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Thought we where the better team first half but just couldn't find a way to break down the county defence. They where absolutely clinical and as is always the risk with murrayball, picked us off as we threw more attackers on to go for it. Laidlaw earned his cleansheet with a few good saves. Deserved win for county over the two games and congrats to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we didn't need to do anything near win every game to at least take it to the wire. The amount of times Utd dropped points and we didn't capitalise was frustrating from a Rovers point if view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Very comfortable in the end. Exactly what should have happened on Thursday night before County stepped off Rovers and let them back into the game. Let's do this all again next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say County were clearly the better team the first 75 minutes of game one and last 45 of game two. The rest of the time the difference was not nearly as clear.

It just shows the problem Championship sides face in the playoffs, and why the success rate is so low. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embow Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Congratulations to County and the appointment of Don Cowie as your permanent manager. Cuedos for the job he's done since replacing the horrible shitshow that is Derek Adams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very surprised if County paid a fee, however nominal, for 18 months of Simon Murray. Then again, it was Malkkky so anything is possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If Raith Rovers had better players and Ross County had worse players then it might have been closer" is quite the hot take. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Wouldn't say there was a massive gulf between the teams at all. I think some people don't understand what they're watching half the time. County played well early in the tie, but then they ar a better side from a higher level. You'd expect them to have periods of showing that. Raith had spells when they made County look really poor, but didn't make the most of the big moments. That just happens in games sometimes. The second County goal today brought about a tactical change that left Rovers open, and from that point it was always likely to end up in a pasting, but they had no real option. Ross County are the better side, but 6-1 over the tie flatters them and it could quite easily have been very different.

The problem that they face is that they have to beat a much better team more, often than not, over two legs, to go up. Which, if you accept the playoff system, is how it should be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Terrapin Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Gulf my arse. Raith were the better team up until the first goal. County had a match winner and scored their goals at the right time. St Johnstone fans on here in particular scathing and delighted. Have you watched your shite anti footballing team this season? (yes I say this without hint of irony in being a Hibs supporter) Better team won but no bigger a gulf than St Mirren and say.....................St Johnstone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
