dee_62 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I will also stand corrected. Rovers player still had the ball within touching distance to score. But...the foul didn't look as bad from that angle as it did from my seat. Still wondering why Coxy #7 got booked for that challenge. Looked a perfect sliding tackle.

Broken Algorithms Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'd wager it was that the fact he's squaring up to the linesman and Vaughan, might've had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I'd agree with all your points until four, it was pretty much attack versus defence for large swathes of the match, although Forfar defended well for almost all of it. Not disagreeing that it was attack against defence but I thought we were starting to run out of ideas in the last 20 minutes and I didn't really feel that a goal was coming.

The club are running with a small ground staff at the moment due to our stadium manager leaving for pastures new and another stalwart unfortunately passing away hence the minutes applause yesterday. Hope you weren't too uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I agree I thought in the last 15 minutes we had run out of ideas there was a lot if switching the play from side to side and crosses their big no 5 was mopping up it seemed nobody wanted to shoot. I think tiredness contributed to the late goals the third was a mistake forced by Spence running at the defence. Just seen the highlights and Buchanan has nipped in ahead of everyone for a speculative ball into the box for a deft finish. There will be a few games like that this season teams just sitting in to frustrate and rovers will have to find new ways to break them down. I think being a full time club the fitness is a real edge and there will be a lot of late goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Alsonagree that Vaughans delivery from set pieces was brutal but he does look to be our best player bar Callachan whoni thought was excellent yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lister goes down at the slightest contact, after poor communication between Davo and Robertson. Number 7's meltdown is on the video which is rather spectacular. Also, cracking shot from RaithTV for our first goal which is good use of the North Stand. The north stand is just a giant glorified camera tripod this season. Cracking FK from the Forfar boy, absolute rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen the match highlights, Forfar maybe be unlucky with sending off however the Lister challenge no way a sending off he through himself to the ground to easily along with that wee fat baw cox who had his teeth tickled and collapsed to the crowd in agony . Think playing against 10 men hindered the Rovers as Forfar just sat back but rightly so in there position. Don't know how Davo is getting a game he's a liability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in the rule book does it say a defender is allowed to impede an opponent ,who has a clear goal scoring opportunity ,by grabbing hold of his wrist and upset his balance. Free kick for Forfar, red card for defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyrfalcon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Enjoyed yesterday's match, as I did midweek. Raith looked very strong and well set for a big tilt at the title. Think Forfar will struggle and truth be told Brora would probably beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impeding the forward run...foul, free kick Punishment...not sure, im no ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 If a player goes down like that with as little contact, I'd be more inclined to book that player. He went down looking for the free kick with no attempt to stay on his feet. That to me is a dive regardless of the amount of contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
