smuggfifer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 As I can't see a thread , thought I'd just chuck one in here. If we can play at the same level we did in the last 2 games, I honestly think we should take points from this one. Outplayed the league leaders first half, but only our failure to find the net more than once, cost us the game, BIG STYLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHS rip Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 We are overdue a home win and it looks like we only do it against teams from the Kingdom 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Last time we played was 5-4. 4 goals so far within the first half hour. Anyone's guess at to what it might end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuggfifer Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Ended up in a shitfest, where there was only going to 1 winner. Any positives from the defeat last weekend were thoroughly knocked out today. We were woeful in the 2nd half. Conceding goals for fun just now. Xmas presents to all our opponents it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawheadrover Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thriller of a match; amazed it was only five goals at full time. Both teams got stuck in ; Rovers' swashbuckling forwards gave us the edge- just! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east fife for life Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Wasn't at the game but a disappointing result nonetheless and I'm sure Albion Rovers will be delighted to get the 3 points especially after that last game against us. Darren Young must be feeling the pressure, big couple o games coming up for him. [emoji21] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawheadrover Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Rovers very pleased indeed. Both matches have been wildly entertaining: 14 goals in 2 games. Sort of made up for the 4-5 game. Oh and the East Port bar in Methil is a splendid pub. Was in there before the first match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHS rip Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 As I said earlier. We win all our home games against teams from Fife. Can we now pretend that Airdrie are from the Kingdom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold Rover Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Great to get a win, especially after going a goal down. Two of our goals shouldn't have counted, though. The first followed a clear foul on the halfway line and the winner from a free kick awarded for a legal tackle. I'll have to remember this when things go against us another day. Clear weaknesses in this Rovers team which need addressed although we should have enough to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Snuffleupagus Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Decent entertainment yesterday, and I thought we just about edged it over the piece. Trouten's goal was a belter as was McLaughlin's free kick; the latter has been close a couple of times so great to see him nail one. I thought East Fife fell out of it in the second half after more than holding their own in the first, and they're very similar to us in that they're a real threat going forward but really shaky defensively. Fisher was the best player on the park for me, and back to his classy best. There's few midfielders at this level better at quickly beating a man and driving forward into space than Gary, although it was nice to see Graeme Holmes doing the same thing yesterday too. Finally, well done and thank you to the East Fife fans, not only those who contributed monetarily to the appeal for the local Food Bank, but to those who brought food, toiletries etc. through with them. I still can't believe anyone would trash a Food Bank, but the response has been great with £636 raised at Cliftonhill yesterday and 40+ bags of shopping collected too.

Vodka Vic Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Great 3 points and a battling performance that we need from now on in. Thanks to the EF fans for contributions to the food bank. The site of the two East Fife Santa Clauses handing in food donations fairly warmed the old cockles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer67 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Getting very frustrating week in week out losing games mainly down to the opposition having more hunger and desire than the East Fife players. Work rate just not there no point just playing when you fancy it. Agree with Darren Young the players who show no hunger or desire need moved on and bring in guys who at least will give everything for the cause. Last 3 away games Forfar , Queens Park and yesterday the opposition have wanted it more than us, footballing wise these teams have been no better than us but their players have shown a better hunger and work ethic than us. Time for Darren Young to sort it out and he’ll know who is letting him and the fans down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
