Enigma Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I’m delighted with the win, obviously in an ideal world we’d love to have won that 5-0 but that was a game we could have easily drawn or narrowly lost so I’m more than happy to just get the win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers1992/1993 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Extra defensive training for the remainder of the week. Protect Lyness at all costs. Those Poppadom hands might snap if they get a shot in If it wasn’t for Lyness, we’d have drawn that game. Absolute outstanding goalkeeping at the end of that game. Also the save from the free kick earlier in the first half as well was a great save as the ball was swerving in all directions. I’ve been very critical of Lyness since he’s came here as he is a shocking keeper but give credit where it’s due. If we do end up getting past Forfar then he’s certainly played his part in it. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Need to get behind the team now. None of this ‘he’s shocking’ patter. It’s all about Saturday now and getting the right result against Forfar. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen our goal back but other than that I thought your keeper did pretty well, the last minute scoop away when Bain was in saved a goal imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sandy Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Three really good goals,don't think there was much Lyness could have done with that rocket from Baird, right into the "postage stamp".some goal. Interesting to hear McGlynn's view about Lyness, for this match, compared to some of the usual "experts"suspects on here!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Why not 6-0?Because if we won 6-0 I’d start to feel a little sorry for Forfar. It wouldn’t be very nice for them to have to suffer that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's not alone in that respect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I wish the SPFL would look at the scheduling of these matches, if at all possible. We were up against Liverpool v Barcelona last night meaning those who went were denied the chance to watch a classic comeback and then the 2nd leg of the final goes up against the FA Cup final. Madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 But yet here we are in the real world and you have a very narrow one goal lead on your way to Station Park... Which is fine... Out of interest, is there likely to be segregation in place on Saturday at Station Park or will we be free to swap ends as is usual? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 A solid, if unspectacular performance but it gives us a result we can cling onto. Forfar played the better football but were limited in their chances. We had limited chances but took them when they came, and were unlucky not to have a third with that shot in the first half. Station Park should be bouncing on Saturday. We should be looking to take up a good away support, even in spite of a disappointing home crowd last night. Will there be segregation or the usual where you can stand at either end? Gullan should be on from the start, and I'd be happy if we gave Gillespie a run out from the start over Wedderburn who offered very little last night. We can't allow Forfar to overrun us from the start on Saturday. We need our players to be aggressive and press them to put pressure on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmosphere should be great even if segregation. Looking forward to a fast and exciting game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 We should easily have 500 or so fans up there so the crowd will hopefully break the 1,000 barrier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent record is P 10 W 9 D 1 L 0. Should be a cracker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness.What a load of shite. What are you expecting the SPFL to honestly do here? Play the final game on a Sunday, or a Friday night, or a 12:30 on a Saturday even? Also, when should have last night’s game have been played? There’s a Champions league game on Wednesday night and Europa League on Thursday... Honestly, if you are that so desperate to watch the Champions League or the FA Cup over the rovers, feel free. I’d have watched last nights game over that Liverpool game every day of the week. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Felt a bit sorry for McKay last night, he looked totally lost being asked to play right wing-back. Not sure if he maybe wasn’t helped by Davo as when we were defending it looked as though the two of them wanted to occupy the same area but neither were willing to put in a challenge. Then going forward there was no help from the midfield to give him an out-ball. The Murray-Crane partnership on the left was much more successful. Two brilliant saves from Lyness I thought which makes it harsh to give him pelters for almost getting to a rocket into the postage stamp corner. Also interesting to hear Forfar supporters claiming we were hatchet men when from a Raith point of vie I thought Forfar were very cynical with some heavy challenges and were fortunate not to pick up more bookings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
