DAFC.

Falkirk fans should keep silent. We came down for one season, skelped them, and bounced straight back. Taken them 5 seasons to get out of a league clogged with posties and bit part personal trainers. An absolute minter tbh.

That's when I left too. It's like a switch going off in your brain to know it's time to just f*ck off. I think they could have played all night and not score tbh.

Strange take tbh. We all know McCann is not good enough and Mehmet is shit. Wighton is a player who definitely has the ability, but hasn't shown it in a Pars jersey in this league. Kind of player that will end up at Raith, ICT or some other Championship mainstay jobbers and bang them in. Otto, Hamilton, KRH and Todd are all young enough to bring on a game, and I am certain they will, and go on to have good careers at a decent level. There are too many duds though upsetting the overall balance. You need a full squad with subs that can change things. We just have mainly shite, with a couple of injured players. Kane has been a massive miss for us, and if it is true he is out "for the foreseeable" then we are absolutely fucked and I expect to finish 9th. We certainly look good for it. Don't score goals and concede too many stupid goals (mainly chucked in by popadom hands Mehmet) Regarding McPake: he is going nowhere, unless we get relegated. He has came out in an interview categorically stating this club will not go down. If we do indeed go down, there is no way he can be in charge after that kind of statement. But knowing this BOD, they'll extend his contract. The club is a bit of a shambles in lots of aspects at the moment, both on and off the field.

Reported for Anti-Catholic hate speech.

Dabrowski wins that for Raith IMO. They didn't threaten us, and if Otoo's shot goes in, I think we go on to win that. Raith took their chances when presented. Mehmet gifts them a goal (which shouldn't have been allowed to happen in all fairness by the ref) and we totally fall asleep for the 2nd. Out with that, we took the game to them, but just missing that wee extra something that Raith found today. Two games in a row where we have dominated and still came away with f*ck all. Chris Kane is a massive loss IMO.

Todd is miles off it as well which ain't helping.

Yes, they are.

It was never a foul fs He totally throws himself to the ground after Hamilton (I think?) wins it. Mehmet should be doing better though. Once again popadom wrists costing us.

Be as well just not bothering if that's the standard of referee. Genuinely disgraceful.

First derby I've been to at Starks in donkeys and haven't been this "meh" about the fixture in my life tbh. Probably an indictment of our season overall tbh.

No Kane up front is shite. Bit of a bold move to play KRH and Bene especially from the start. Thankfully MWH is fit after that horror tackle.

Maybe 400 tickets still left to go for the away end. Should be near full for kick-off, given how last minute a lot of football fans tend to be with digital ticketing. Decent effort given the pricing and how pish we have been this season. As for the media comments from us: I think it would have been best just to say nothing at all, and TRY to do the talking on the park, but Raith fans, as usual, taking things a bit too seriously and getting incandescent with rage. Christ knows what they'll be like if we win today and Dundee United beat Arbroath. If Kane is back and MWH is fit despite taking studs to the knee, it'll give us the best opportunity today. Not sure about Bene coming in for this as his first game since being out.

If Kane isn't back, then I struggle to see us getting anything. Mad how toothless we look up front without him. Now that we have more options, I think McPake needs to rotate a bit. McCann is 100% needing dropped, and Summers should not be starting either. Paul Allan has had his best games for us the past few games, and has a good delivery from set pieces, so would be harsh to drop him. If Kane is fit, I'd be tempted to have him up front with KRH and Moffat as the wide options. Midfield of Todd, Otto, and Allan. Defence just the usual with what we've seen, but maybe McPake would be tempted to throw Bene in given his experience?

We were poor after the second goal, but up til then we completely dominated and missed some good opportunities: the kind you've come to expect Matty to bury. On another day, he gets himself a brace or even a hattrick. Need to just get back to the drawing board and prepare for a crucial derby. Still think we have enough about us to be finishing 8 at least. I won't get too disheartened about that tonight. Just never happened for us and we ended up blowing out our arse chasing the game.

Very frustrating. The second goal just totally sapped anything we had to give, and you seen that in the players movement and body language. Despite our decent play and dominance, we didn't make it pay. All fart and no jobby. Can't really argue much else apart from not being able to finish out chances. Todd could have had a hat-trick in the first half. Could have played all day and not score.

Just blow FT. We are totally goosed.

Pish defending again. Don't take your chances, you'll never win games. Can't see us getting back in to this at all.

Only got ourselves to blame if we don't win this (that's if we keep up the same tempo 2nd half) Should be sitting handsome and also a man up, but referees being shitebags shocker.

IMO I don't think there was anything Mehmet could have done. It was an exceptional ball in but our defending is poor.

Agreed. I'm sure he'll have a good career, but a total luxury player we can't afford to have in this division. At least Moffat is a bit more nippy and can open things up as well. KRH maybe worth the shot given his legs weren't the recent issue.

Yep. It was a stonewaller.

FS Matty. Should be bread and butter these chances he has had.

Frizzell should be off. That is a shocking challenge.

Fucking shockerooni. Absolutely pish defending.

Todd should have a brace. Better not regret these chances.
