Raith Against The Machine Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Substitution changed the game, Robertson was excellent.Getting Benedictus back properly involved without losing any points is a huge boon, although it looked risky at times. Last ten minutes he was absolutely out on his feet, but getting that 90 minutes of first team football should benefit him in the long run.Herron, once again, had a really good game. If he can keep up this form, we'll really start to lock down large parts of the starting eleven, in ways we haven't really at any stage this season.

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Delighted with that. Herron was class today again. As was big Willie Style. Very pleased Vaughan got a goal, hopefully he goes on a little run. Once Robbo came on we looked good going forward. it will be interesting to see what team he starts with next week.

Varna Rover Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I feel a tad sorry for airdrie as they deserved a point. But its results like these that win titles. well done rovers, onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC1878 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Disappointed not to come away with something but not despondent. Airdrie were the better team 1st half but fell out it a bit in the 2nd and Raith edged it. Raith don’t look a good side but seem to have the ability to grind out a result. Fantastic away support - more than 160 by my reckoning (don’t know how you can tell) and created a good atmosphere, backing the team right to the end.

Wullie McNaught Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Showed guts to come back from a goal down to win. This is exactly the type of game Ayr have been losing so things looking good right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Thought the referee was terrible today constantly falling for any Airdrie player falling in a heap after a tackle and to top it off near the end gives an offside against the Rovers yet allows the free kick to be taken 3m inside our own half, didn’t know you can be offside in your own half but I’m sure someone will correct me. Also have to laugh at away teams soon as they go 1 up all of a sudden they aren’t in a rush but soon as they are losing they can’t wait to get on with it football eh!

Broken Algorithms Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Well that was pleasing. We were poor in the first half but replacing Buchanan with Robbo and putting Vaughan up top was a superb move. Furtado was brilliant too. Brilliant to see Bobby Barr taking the drop ball after the referee spotted our attack and charge on with the ball. We need that streak in us as there's no point letting clubs take advantage.

Broken Algorithms Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The Airdrie fans were superb today and didn't stop singing. Did enjoy when some of them were goading our fans, only to go into meltdown for our two goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about his reluctance to book Raith players and the penalty that should have been awarded to Airdrie for a blatant handball at the end?

bobbykdy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Airdrie were good, probably up there with the toughest game we have had so far at home this season and can count themselves unlucky not to take a point. WTF are those flags all about though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did enjoy when some of them were goading our fans, only to go into meltdown for our two goals. Was a bit of a bizarre situation. We were effectively wedged in between 2 sections of the Raith fans. Don’t think Raith expected as much of a travelling support. Why does the railway stand not get used? That would have been ideal and there’s no pillars obstructing your view.

We'll only open the North stand for four games this season. We had issues with Arbroath fans doing the same earlier with a smaller fan base. Airdrie look a totally different team now btw. Pressed high yet disciplined. I know they're well off the promotion playoffs but I think next season they'll be well in the title hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Quite enjoyed the Airdrie fans in the main stand, like the Arbroath game, gave the game a bit of atmosphere at times. Always enjoy opposition fans getting excited then being firmly put in their place when we win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Davo and Herron were brilliant today. Airdrie looked alright to be fair and their support was very good. Great 3pts for us. Interested to see how Ayr respond to being the chasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
