1320Lichtie Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Hopefully that Armstrong doesn't sign on. Raith main man by a mile yesterday even if he was diving all over the joint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Raith by far the better team yesterday and deserved the win. The red card, as wild as it was, deflects from our poor performance. Both Rovers wingers were brilliant, can only hope Armstrong isn’t here after January. Have to add that it’s hilarious seeing forfar and Montrose fans queuing up to have a pop because we’ve actually lost a game, laugh out loud.

CALDERON Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Great day out. Didn't expect anything from the match but there was a great atmosphere from even before the match, fans were well up for it. Arbroath were alright in spells, they moved the ball about quickly and forced Thomson into some savas. That said, we defended very very well. Linn is the danger man, and he barely got a sniff. Even at 11 vs 11 I reckon would have been comfortable enough. Just one of those gamers where the tactics were spot on. Campbell and the Arbroath website I think seemed to have the aasertion that they were the better side second half and I just don't understand it. They had the chance with lad Smith and that was literally it. We could really have been 3 or 4 up with the chances we had in the half, and as the game went on we saw it out incredibly comfortably. His interview also smacked of arrogance to be honest. Ten points is a big gap, so its still a long shot. It's all about how both sides react to this. It could be game on next week, or all over again. Great attendance though and a great home crowd, but great atmosphere in the away end. And absolute seethe from Home fans at the end. Braw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy saying that but it was only 2-0, game was hard enough as it is with TOB missing then Swankie getting taken out of midfield. One goal changes it massively and we got into some good positions a goal wasn't beyond us. Soon as Swankie was off we were struggling. We'd played poor enough as it is without him so after that was always a struggle. I don't think you created much in the first half, the 2 goals were a stunning free kick and the second cross from a corner. Second half you got into a lot of good positions but game was stretched and we had 10 men was always happening. Still think that moment right at the start where Doris took that shot on with his left instead of rolling it to a wide open Bobby Linn was massive, positive Bobby would've scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 We didn't have a huge amount in the first half but when you consider Arbroaths form it was a comfortable as it could have been given the circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Big and deserved three points yesterday.If we had lost gap would have been 16 points,insurmountable,10 points not so much and although its a fair gap think its doable Great turn out by both sets of supporters and blew my earlier prediction of be lucky if theres 1500 and lucky if there would be 300 Rovers supporters right out the water Campbells post match interview is laughable Bitter man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Sandy Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 All this talk about the League brings back memories of last season with Ayr United; mind you it was more of a seesaw with tem than Arbroath.

RRFC2711 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 A wee asides, as I didn't go yesterday listened into the commentary on Raith TV and was amused to hear that true maroon smokies legend uncle fester, applied for the last two managerial positions at the San Starko, but was knocked back twice (maybe for being a townie) good to see that he is still trying to improve and is still trying for a bigger club.......

We have had Thomson, O,Brien, Whatley, Swankie, Denholm, Kadar, McKenna, Doris, Wallace, Smith all out or unavailable so far this season. ETA Toshney also was crocked 1 game after signing Not at the same time though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
