Why did anyone have to bring up Irvine meadow still gives me the fear to this day!

Apparently he's got a decent job too so financially part time football benefits him (atleast I'm hoping that's the case)

Just our usual luck, said the weekend of 23rd which indicates it could be the Sunday

Will end up being a Sunday afternoon tie, might be an excuse for a Monday off! When do dates/ times get announced

No 5 is our Thomas O'Brien, cape to us from Forfar, definitely one of our best signings

Believe it or not im I'm agreement with every statement made there, but thanks for the "give it a break" - I'll keep my light hearted jokes for another thread

Sorry didn't realise You were his body guard, it was clearly a light hearted joke, silly me for forgetting you don't have a sense of humour. pretty sure if I said the grass was green today you'd come back with actually it was emerald Ps I thought Donnelly done ok today wasn't disputing that

We now celebrate Donnelly winning three headers miko motm for me also and Stewart looked decent for being out. Still not liking dick not knowing his starting xl and chopping and changing. bobbys goal was class but wasn't his best game

Relatively the same team for me although I'd have linn and gold on wings and McKenna instead of Stirling just behind Stevie

As was stated above it's hard for strikers to create chances if the balls just getting lumped up. Old school tactics like in my day you play it from the back on the ground which to get to the strikers needs to go through the motions first. I'd give McKenna a punt, not much to lose, he's definitely not a winger or even play him in a role just behind a striker

I'm clearly stating looking at the past doesn't help the present. I didn't mention anything about our strikers having good records so don't know why your preaching that to me. I simply stated I agreed out midfield lacked creativity

Accept that we are a level up now and we are NOT going to be blowing teams away, we are little fish in a big pond and will be scrapping 1-0 wins when possible And happy with it and that's the reality.

And did I dispute that? We are a level up now, times have changed and time you accepted that. Our midfield can't get away with what they did last season. Yes our strikers have a poor record at the moment but could that be due to Campbell not knowing his starting xl and constant chopping and changing no ones settling. Strikers need a run at it regardless who it is non of our three have really had that.

Although I wasn't at the game I can only imagine. I'm glad someone else is seeing it Yet it's always our strikers who seem to get the brunt

Can anyone let us know starting xl? Couldn't make it today

100% agree and also bobby hasn't been on his game the last few weeks when we rely on him so heavily, Harry Kane would find it hard scoring goals for us at the minute with the lack of creativity created in midfield

Raith fans obsession with us is just getting embarrassing now, trailing through our cup feeds now too, It's international week, have a day off mate

100% agree, was starting to think I'd had one too many pints as I just didn't think he showed much at all

Thought we missed whatley and murphy in midfield today although glad to see gold back... hoping he isn't out next week as went down just before half time? Young loanees done fine, although it felt forced for me dick trying to accommodate them (in reality he has to or we won't get a chance to get loans in the future as they could sit on the bench anywhere) when IMO we had better opinions of our own on the bench. People also saying miko was our man of the match must be on drugs if anything thought Stirling had a better game than him! Poor result although confirmed a few things or me, Stevie should 100% start over Donnelly - we maybe didn't score but even his presence, working the defenders, winning balls, creating passes is something I didn't see last week. Dick doesn't know his best 11 and he needs to work it out for us to pick up points rather than changing so much. in dick we trust!!!

Agreed we don't have much of an attacking threat, even more of a defensive midfield but if anyone can cause the defenders problems it is Stevie . Would like to see him upfront with Spence but pigs are more likely to fly than having two upfront. Donkelly had another shocker - can't hold the ball, gets smaller when he tries to win anything in the air, bullied continuously by defenders, linked up a few passes and has scored a few goals, I've actually found him uncomfortable to watch as of recent - decent guy just not gelling at the min imo

Yes agreed!

Totally disappointing/ embarrassing today. question is were we just having an off day or were we just completely exposed by ayr?! IMO everyone played poor, how we picked a motm I'll never know, ball boy deserves it. The substitutions were mind blowing, we are losing 3-0 what do we have to lose by going two up top? Dick seems determined to "use" these loan players - keeping their clubs happy/ all midfielders happy, didn't work today. I've always trusted in dick but today was wrong. If it's true that goldie swanned off on holiday then he deserved to be benched. Mikeys dive was the cherry on the cake of today for me - shocking.

Think you need to stop tarring people with the same brush, clearly stated Spence done well on Saturday on my post prior and cannot think of a time I'd debated the midfields lack of creativity. Aslong as we win on Saturday I couldn't give a monkeys who played in which position if a win means a harmonious gone fishing and 1320 up front I'd take it.

Agree Doris should start up front Spence done well on Friday a lot of running but seemed to only have a few touches despite that! Made more apparent after re watching on tv. ( But all of us better watch saying that - 1320lichtie might start calling us all bias ) A game I might of been dreading at the start of the season I'm now buzzing for!
