Blame Me Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Moaning about the refs in the aftermath of a defeat just looks like sour grapes but can you blame us when they've been so woeful. Additionally, as much as I despise the NW mob there can be no argument that their numbers and hostility has an effect on the linesman. Sadly due to the layout of TFS we just don't have that ability to, ahem, influence the officials to a similar degree . Any statto's able to pull together penalties awarded to us shooting into the North Stand as opposed to the KM (when temp seating hasn't been used)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Rovers game in the Covid season. Two Dunfermline games this season. We won at critical times after Cadette, but after Higdon?? We're due a playoff win this year.

Raith Rovers game in the Covid season. Two Dunfermline games this season. We won at critical times after Cadette, but after Higdon?? Surely the issue with that, is that since Higdon you haven't had very many very good teams? Without knowing the story behind them all, but for allot of the games you mentioned did you not need to win at critical times to put yourself in the position of getting to those games? It's sore losing cup finals, but you need to win critical games to get there. For the Kilmarnock game did you not finish second in the league and beat Hibs in the playoff? It goes on and on. It's something I've seen discussed amongst Dunfermline fans, our lack of bottle to win bad games over the past decade. When in reality it's not bottle, it's purely and simply that the games we've lost, we tended to just not be the better football team. And over the past decade that's been really pronounced because we've been absolutely pish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 The Championship - Premiership playoff system is completely fucked. To go up as 3rd or 4th placed team you have to win 3x 2-legged ties which is a joke. To avoid relegation you only need to win 1. League 1 - Champiosnship is so much better. Realistically should be top 2 up, bottom 2 down or bottom two guaranteed down, 1st place - automatic promotion, 2nd and 3rd play over 2 legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) The goal that wasn't simply adds to the frustration of how things have played out in the games against Dunfermline this season. Out of the 4 goals we've lost. One was a silly penalty given away by Henderson after todorov had crossed the ball out the park. One was a free header at a corner, one we now know wasn't actually a goal at all and one was a horrific back pass. So 3 gifted by us and one gifted by the officials. On the other hand Dunfermline though don't gift you anything. You have to do it the hard way against them. Our only goal was through decent football it wasn't a defensive mistake we had to work for it. You can't expect to win leagues if you gift your biggest challengers goals in the big games unfortunately. It's a pisser that the officials made a complete mess of it and who knows what may have happened if we'd held out a bit longer. The goal certainly spurred them on but we also have to look at our own performances in these games and we really can only say that we've played some decent stuff in about one half the first half of the first game at east end. Otherwise we've been disappointing. Edited March 8, 2023 by Shodwall cat 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 So, the play offs it is. Of course, our record in play offs isn’t the best, and we haven’t had any success via that route. If we do it this time, it’ll be a first. It will be a first for our management team too, as McGlynn hasn’t won through the play offs either. I think it’s four times he has taken a side into the play offs, and hasn’t won any of them. Hopefully this time…… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a rigged system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStander1876 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Not sure if people are aware, but the display originally planned for the dunfermline game will be used on Monday night so if you're in the south stand please get involved or it will look ridiculous 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
