Wullie McNaught Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Would probably be playing at a higher level tbf He did when he was with us, looked good very occasionally but was mostly a lazy sod. Something of a reoccurring theme throughout his career unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Nowhere near full time fitness. Couldn't cope at all an was out the picture by Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Lichtyear Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 It's a running theme with McCord. Think all Arbroath fans concede that if he had the natural fitness of most of the lads in the league, and more drive he wouldn't be playing in this league.

1320Lichtie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Davidson has held his own against much better players than Doris this season, doubt that would have impacted things too much. Of course it would've impacted things. Would've saved us from playing a left winger up front. Can't be many 'much better' strikers than Doris in this league aswell. Personally the only strikers I would have from other teams in this league instead of him are at your club. He would've made a massive difference to us yesterday. One of the main reasons we won at Ayr. His hold up play is phenomenal and allows us to get up the park. Raith are a better side than we are, we know this. We're not saying that a fit Stevie Doris would've meant we beat you yesterday. Just saying he's a massive miss, and it really showed up against a better team. We've got away with it against lesser sides but to go up against the best we need him in our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typicalrovers Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What about Auld Doris giving her 70 year old man a row for single handedly storming the Rovers support in the Main Stand after the second goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big lichtie Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 great post 1320 to the point and correct in all aspects.pongo getting it tight from the raith fans yes he is carrying a bit of timber but as a fitba player he is pivotal to us. on the swakie situ him and doris showed at ayr when they play together they can totally win games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone notice the steward when the auld boy and Kev were going for it. He looked like he had no idea what to do and looked like he was going to burst oot greeting fair play to the auld boy storming in but it would have been more impressive if he had done with windmill arms as he was running in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 How do you know Doris would have made a difference thats hypothetical he could have had a poor game likewise if Kevin Mchattie or Benedictus had played for us we may have won 5 nil your argument is nonsense . The fact is we won you never whether Doris played or not if the guy is any good he wouldn’t be playing for Arbroath likewise many Rover players they find there level.

We're not saying we would've beat you. We're saying we would have had a much better chance, as Doris is one of if not our best player. He is very good for US. And a good player in terms of this league. Why would we not have good players for this level btw??? [emoji1] IMO the best 3 performances yesterday came from Vaughan, ToB and Danny Denholm..Imagine one of your best players had been missing in your hardest game of the season, you'd probably be saying the same afterwards. You could maybe get away with missing Vaughan against Forfar for example but when it came to Ayr he'd be a much bigger miss. Coming up against as good as a side as yourselves yesterday, the fact he was missing really showed up, when it hadn't done as much in the games against the lesser teams. The fact we're moaning about it shows how good a team you've got so not sure why some of your fans are having such a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan gets all the plaudits, but Euan Murray was stand out for me. Showed a lot of experience and stood up where needed. Was very unlucky not to get his first goal for us. As for missing players in big games, we went into the Ayr game and lost our captain in the first half. We had pretty much a defence with only two defenders by the end. Even then the media only got soundbites from McCall about how they had half a team and how it was their best performance.I'm sure Doris would've made Arbroath more of a threat. I guess we'll find out in December... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hopefully if Davidsons playing Doris gives as good as he gets and gets stuck right in to the big bleach haired cunto. [emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact we're moaning about it shows how good a team you've got so not sure why some of your fans are having such a problem with it. But one of our best (Bene) was missing. Given that our young RB was making his home debut, the LB was playing out of position and the central pairing have hardly played any game time together then yes the Rovers defence could likely have struggled more against a decent forward. Kyle Benedictus is easily the best defender we have at SP if not the best in the division, He was in great form prior to the leg break v Ayr and has had the better of most if not every one he's been up against. He may or may not have had the measure of Doris but boy was he missed at Albion Rovers and his availability would have seen all 4 defenders playing in more comfortable positions. It's immaterial and un-provable either way but even if both sides were at full strength then I don't think it would have changed the outcome.

Usually it's the corner section of the main stand but generally it's unsegregated as it goes on with Rovers fans sitting more towards the directors box area. It's probably the right call from the club to keep the North Stand closed. Aside from Ayr and East Fife, there won't be many teams who justify opening the McDermid stand. Good to see we're likely to have Robertson back for this one. We really missed his presence and leadership against Albion Rovers. I think Smith's interviews on our site and with the press will hopefully shed some light on how our injured players are getting on. Ideally in the next few weeks, we'll see McHattie, Benedictus and Lennox all come back. That'd make us a lot stronger compared to our makeshift backline at the moment. Not wanting to sound "i told you so" but the organisation was a shambles, there was a decent Red Lichtie support there hemmed in by Raith fans either side of us with a few stewards and no Police, as it was a big game tensions were running high and loads of banter from both set of fans ad your Captain so it was no wonder there was a bit of skullthuggery when things boiled over, surely the best thing would have been to open the opposite end and this would have stopped any bother and folk getting ejected from the ground and helped your stewards, hopefully next time this happens to save a lot of hassle and before anybody jumps in here both sets of fans were to blame but Raith never helped the situation with putting us in that area.

Broken Algorithms Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Your support doesn't justify opening a full 3000 seater stand. If you have fans in your support who give it out, and then get precious when they get telt from our fans and captain then they need to learn to deal with that. We shouldn't have to lose money on stewards and catering staff because your fans can't behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakngravy Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The only reason that we are having away support in the main stand is that we get extra money from the ones that use the Raith suite bar. They will never change this not unless someone reports them to the Health and Safety and I am sure that there will be video footage showing what happened. I for one did not have a problem on Saturday but on previous occasions when newco was there I did. Two hundred fans in one corner of the North Stand in a taped off area would probably take as much stewards as we had extra in the main stand on Saturday. As for catering the Rovers don't pay for that, the guy actually leases it from the Rovers qnd he pays us a rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
