Mattyboyd8 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Forfar may well be the worst team we play this season, we played well lacking a cutter edge and a proper right back, Fash is getting better holding up the ball much better and a superb free kick. If someone can teach Mcfarlane how to kick a dead ball I'd be delighted. A striker and a right back that can run please and the squad will be in a much better place! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m all for kicking a club when they’re down but Forfar were far better than Edinburgh City last week!!!

Just you wait till Ray sees this post, he'll have Edinburgh city looking like 2002 Brazil when we face them next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Don’t think anyone who witnessed the 90 minutes would say East Fife didn’t deserve the win. I can understand Forfar fans being frustrated watching that style of football every week. Forfar are all about stopping the opposition playing at all costs with little to nothing in the final third. Don’t get me wrong they are well organised and the opposition will find it hard to break them down but as soon as they lose a goal you would find it difficult to see them creating much to get back in the game. As it was it took 2 set piece situations to break them down Austin’s brilliant free kick and Troutens penalty. Referee was very poor Forfar committed foul after foul but ref only chose to book anyone that talked back to him.. Been a decent bounce back from the Fife after our horror defensive show at Elgin. We still seem to be giving up cheap goals on Tuesday and today both goals definitely preventable. Next up Stirling Albion away who had a big result today. Hopefully the ghost of Borough Briggs will be laid to rest and we can take our home form on the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve described us perfectly , we can see it opposition fans can see it, why can’t the board ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon EF Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Yeah, I don't think it's possible to be 100% sure whether there was enough contact to take Austin down or not. Both angles kind obscure the potential contact with either Austin or McCallum. If it wasn't a foul, it was a very good dive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 One of these ones when you say "why on earth would you dive?". Fash has taken it round the goalie, it's on his favoured left peg. Stick it in the pokey and he's on a hat-trick.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not commenting on the actual foul in question, but footballers have shown on plenty of occasions they'll dive when scoring looked easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bizarre as the above is, it's also true. Just to clarify, like MR, that is not a comment on the foul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_bully_wee Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 That is an absolute shocker of a dive from Austin, he's already chucking himself to the ground before McCallum's extended his left arm out. The latter's reaction says it all, keepers often protest a wee bit but never with that level of indignation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can very clearly see that he doesn't even attempt to take the next stride with his right foot, just trails it and sends himself to the ground when he sees McCallum is going to ground. I'd disagree with anyone who deems that inconclusive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
