Raith25 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What was Raith fans' beef with Johnsen, btw? To start with he took the brunt of our frustration then he held up 4-2 with his hands, then he was involved in scuffle with mchattie at the end.

Johnsen then turned and gave the crowd a 4-2 with his hands which probably ended up causing the handbags near the end when McHattie went in on him. 2 minutes ago, Raith25 said: To start with he took the brunt of our frustration then he held up 4-2 with his hands, then he was involved in scuffle with mchattie at the end.

RaithRyan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Real gutsy performance over the two games from us. Just hope we can take these sort of performances into the league now and get clear from the relegation play off.Thought over the two games big Mvoto has been outstanding. The big man won most of his battles and really impressed with him. Usually critical of Callaghan but thought he ran himself into the ground tonight - other mentions for Stewart and McManus in terms of work rate.Frustrating point obviously is the fact over the piece - you can make a case for us having a hand in every goal conceded. Thomson x2 giving ball away. 2 pens and if being extremely critical maybe Cat could have got stronger hands to Sammon's effort.I've seen us play in games and have our goal peppered. Over the two games think cuthbert might have made about 4 saves.The defence is resolute - Hardie scoring tonight getting off the mark - here's hoping we can kick on from here and move up this league - some shift put in today so some rotation for Saturday would be ideal. To finish, Don't know about anyone else's thoughts buts Jase Thompson still doesn't look quite match fir yet to me,Hopefully Davo's injury isn't too serious.

Hearts got every break of the ball and both ref and main stand linesman were awful at best. Finally... tyncastle has a capacity of 17400. The crowd announced was what 9500. So it was a little over half full. Aye fucking right. Trump calculator imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P475 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Unlucky the Rovers. One of my hearts supporting mates told me that rovers weren't easy to get past. He said "thankfully raith were robbed and it spared their blushes" That is high praise from this guy because hearts never do any wrong in his world. Well done RRFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hearts were pretty poor last night, but folk saying we were lucky? Come off it, we were clearly the better team overall. Fair play to Raith though, they dug in very well and looked dangerous on the counter attack, not sure what Locke's beef with the penalties were though, both looked stick ons from tired tackles for me. John Souttar needs to cut out the stupid mistakes, that one for the 2nd equaliser was horrific from a nothing ball. He seems to be having one a game just now. Hoping that once players like Nicholson are back to fitness and we have Djoum back as well as a new signing or two we improve, because we'll certainly need to after the last two games. On a side note, where were Cowie and Nowak? I assume carrying knocks, but never seen it mentioned anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Rovers go out of the cup and tire themselves out in the process, meaning they'll be easy pickings for Dumbarton at the weekend. Glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was a little over half full. Aye fucking right. Not wrong there. He's not a defender though but neither on this season's displays is he a captain. His first touch is awful and he's too ponderous. Will welcome Djoum back and even Cowie over Kitchen. He's faded badly since last season. The defence was bad too but has suffered major changes in the last few weeks - Paterson out, Rherras in the African Nations, Rossi away and two new guys in. Add to that Souttar who's still young and makes some dreadful mistakes sometimes. Walker always looks to create something and is always on the move. If we had more players with his attitude and Calum Paterson's we'd be a far better team. It's a transitional period though and there was some good play. Am optimistic we can sort things before Hibs come. Rovers need to bottle the attitude from last night and Sunday's second half. Use it in the league and not many teams will beat you.

Rjc-1988 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 As a neutral at last nights match thought Raith really benefitted from their positive tactics - McManus, Stewart and Barr caused problems and Callaghan was a powerhouse in midfield. Thought Matthews was totally anonymous on right and was surprised he wasn't hooked much earlier. Jordan Thomson disappointed also.Having defended well it must have been gut wrenching for the away support to see their defenders effectively gift Hearts two goals with two daft penalty concessions. Just don't understand why experienced defenders do these crazy things.For me Hearts have really regressed under Cathro. They were miles off the pace for first 70 mins but finally dominated as Raith tired. Walker is carrying the team although left back played well and Martin is promising. Souttar simply can't defend as evidenced again last night and overall if you take Walker out of the line up team looks powder puff. Currie did well and took his goal well.On chances created Hearts edged it but the penalty concessions were right out of the schoolboy defending catelogue.

Rovers1992/1993 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 First of all, Some support we had last night. Was a cracking atmosphere. Some of the chants were outstanding. "You're watching porn on your laptop" was a personal favourite.On the game, extremely unlucky after having to put in all that effort during the 90 minutes, that Jamie Walkers expertise at winning penalties was what finally saw them through it. After the first penalty, I really didn't expect us to score again, so it was unbelievable scenes in our end when Hardie slotted it under Hamilton. Fantastic ball up from Skacel for it. Brilliant link-up play between Hardie and Stewart as well. Who'd have thought, that they 2 could show signs of a decent partnership brewing? When we went 4-2 down and some fans decided to leave to avoid the traffic etc, and Fifes finest started undoing all their work on creating an atmosphere all game by booing our own fans. Not acceptable on any level to start booing your own fans. It's pleasing to see Locke finally see that Jordan Thompson is the weak link in the centre of the park, with him being the first tactical sub in both games, whereas Cal and Matthews played every minute in both games. Callachan and Matthews compliment each other so well in the middle that those 2 should be the 2 starters going forward now. Declan McManus looks to have his confidence up now. He was outstanding in the first half yesterday. Started to drift out in the second as he started to tire though. Mark Stewart was unbelievable the whole game despite blowing out his ass from about the 70th minute yesterday. I really hope that wasn't a blip and that we do take a lot of confidence from that and take it into the league. The thing that worries me is that we know we can play like that and be extremely tough to break down which is why we're still unbeaten against the top 2 this season. We don't play like that against the other 7 teams in the league though. On to Saturday now though. Lets get the 3 points and start looking up again.

Bambino7 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 What? Hearts got not only one penalty but two? I for one am shocked at this. Diving cheating c***s. Regardless of the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I thought Matthews was your weakest player on the night. Looked a complete passenger on the right. Callachan on the other hand was immense in central midfield but Thomson did not deliver sadly.I notice McManus gets a lot of stick on Raith P and B but anytime I have seen him he looks a handful. Certainly his partnership with Stewart was excellent last night. If McManus is surplus to requirements please send him down to Palmerston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Both McManus and Stewart get lots of stick from fans. Problem is the manager is clueless to understand they cannot play as a single striker and they have taken the flack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
