Wont make that mistake again! No doubt in my mind we would have lost today, regardless of how poor they are playing, how tactically naive their manager is or the fact Buchanan gets paid too much.

Better not take any of our remaining games, can't be doing with stupid kick off times and could have psycological effects like what has happened with Raith.

I know it's not "Sky money" but would the Rovers not have got some sort of fee for the game being covered, don't even know if the Fife would have been entitled to any of it, but never the less I'm just feeling that sufficient knowledge of prevailing conditions were there, sufficient precautions were available, namely the covers, I just feel that, yes games get called off but perhaps this could have been avoided in this case!!! Was under the impression Alba was part and parcel of the whole SPFL TV deal and went into the pot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 If not then youse shat it!!![emoji6] King Kebab making umpteen posts despite not knowing what our suspension situation was, nor how much we’ve lost in hospitality, or how the Alba deal works, or the actual attempts we made to get the game on, sums the utter flump up. A slaver of the highest order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you actually read any of them or did you get an idea in your wee pea brain and let your sausage like fingers do the walking over your keyboard??? And Grandpa Flump playing his flumpaphone was my favourite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Grandpa Flump playing his flumpaphone was my favourite!!! You did ask if there were attempts at getting the game on and you were told that they tried at the earliest opportunity that they were able to get a team of volunteers to put the covers down which was Friday morning. Due to high winds, there was absolutely no chance they were able to put the covers down.They then headed back down on Saturday morning to try again. Again due to high winds, this was unable to happen then also.They couldn’t attempt it any earlier in the week, as the majority of volunteers would have been working. It sounds like you’re suggesting that we didn’t want the game on yesterday? You do understand that there is a very high probability that Ayr will be 6 points clear by the next time we play? Why would we want this to be the case? Hope this clears that up for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullTimePint Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Fair play to the Raith volunteers for attempting to help, even if those efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. I am the biggest critic of artificial pitches (even the bayview one) but think that would have been the only way the game would have gone ahead. Hopefully it will be rearranged for a weekend, rather than a random Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 No weekends left i don't think? I'd imagine will be a Tuesday in April to be sure of weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east fife for life Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If Raith wanted the original tie to go ahead it would have went ahead, if we were missing key players we would have done the same. No matter anyway, Raith have made a c**t of things and I'd imagine they will Raith the play offs too. Next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I don't know the exact injury status of Herron and Robertson but considering their track record I would guess they might still be unavailable for the 27th anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
