North Terrace Gazza Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 He managed to singlehandedly give a goal away through 3 or 4 individual errors recently and was given MOTM and folk were glowing about his performance, there is a bizarre mancrush on him at Tryfield Place and i am not on message.What a bizarre statement. Murphy was been one of our most consistent performers recently not sure what your blabbering on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Murphy has strolled the last couple of months, back to the player he was at the beginning of last season. (I've missed around two games during this) No idea when the 3 or 4 mistakes leading to a goal was? Certainly wasn't today or Stenny, Brechin, Forfar, Cowdenbeath or Peterhead games. I think it's just one of those odd dislikes of a player, I vaguely remember something about not rating Mark Roberts either 😂 (As a player) Murphy has made mistakes during the season however at the moment is by far our best centre half.

itzdrk Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 What a bizarre statement. Murphy was been one of our most consistent performers recently not sure what your blabbering on about. Hopeless at the first goal, taken out of play by his lack of movement Then the absolute state of him in the next part of the highlights which is the second goal should show you what i am on about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Think you have to give credit to the goal scorer not sure any of our present central defenders should have done any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Murphy had Wallace running towards him, Gilmour was tracking the Faissal run. It was a cracking pass and there is nothing any of our defenders could have done about it. If he tracks the scorer Wallace has a free run at goal. Massively clutching at straws to blame him for the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 As for the Cowdenbeath game he did make a mistake but the goal was further on in the movement and was not solely his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch it again, it all comes from him, slow releasing the ball and gets tackled then is absolutely lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he did, I was thinking in terms of making three or four mistakes in the lead up to a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Was suprised at how tame Ayr were today. Thought with there still being a remote possibility of winning the league, that the lads would come out all guns blazing. Stevo was virtually anonymous. I must be the only Ayr fan who doesn't rate Forrest. One good bit of skill or play out of five Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Trying to blame Murphy for all our problems is just a bit strange, we lost today because El Baktoui showed a bit of class we didn't show today, end of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMessiah Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 And so ends Ayr's attempt at a little spat with a big team. 11 clear with 21 to play for and a vastly superior goal difference over Peterhead. As I said after the 3-2, the league is won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The league is over, best squad won. Good luck to Dunfermline next season no reason why you can't compete in the championship. Just hope we get things together and can Join you guys via the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you that one, it wasn't as bad as that in my head for some reason 😠Today's second, I appreciate he loses the ball but it's a completely different phase of play. You could argue he doesn't follow Wallace well enough but he doesn't have the legs and is best getting back to the centre and not getting dragged out of position. I know his wee bits of skill over egg his performances in people's minds but feel it would be very harsh to blame him for both goals today.

Honest_Man#1 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Can people stop arguing with itzdrk over Murphy. It's just another Mark Roberts scenario where he's latched onto one of the better players and has a strange dislike for them regardless of how they play.

young buck Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 That game summed up this awful league for me. Big crowd in to see the two heavyweights slug it out and that's what happened. An absolute snore fest like two old battleships shelling each other. It was a pitiful excuse of a game from two teams who should know better. Personally I felt cheated but my money was spent on the boy who scored the goals from Dunfermline. He's the chap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larbert_Par Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 That second goal from Faz gets better and better each time you watch it. At the game all I could say was "what a f*****g goal!" over and over again. This morning I found myself repeating it even more. Fantastic. Two great pieces of forward play were the difference yesterday; Wallace's pass and Faz's finish for the first was good too. The first half particularly was scrappy at best - not a lot on show from either team, though I felt the referee at times was a bit too stop start with the whistle. I was surprised Ayr didn't open up a bit more, especially as the pitch wasn't particularly suited to fast flowing, passing football for us to counter on. In the second half I thought we controlled things much better and once we scored, I was confident we'd go on to win. The second goal knocked the stuffing out of Ayr entirely and we saw it out very comfortably. I look at yesterday as a good, gritty performance at the toughest venue (IMO) we had left in the run in. To win is very pleasing. That's four wins out of five in all competitions against Ayr this season, and that, plus the points gap, speaks for itself.
