Raith Against The Machine Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 4-4-2 Saturday. Flanagan right wing, Crane left wing. Duggan up top with Nisbet. Old fashioned McGlynneyball and this tie's not over.Queens can definitely be got at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Started well. Finished well. Shame about the 70 minutes of absolute dross inbetween. Queens defence is ropey as f**k (as is ours). No excuse not to just go for it on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 A great result for us. I'd have happily taken 1-1 beforehand. I'm pretty pissed off at how we finished though. Dykes should have made it 4. Instead, the lead is just 2. We're big favourites, but it genuinely is still alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmy_cammy Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 If Dykes could score from 8 yards out my 4-1 prediction would have come in and we could get the cigars out on Saturday. As it is we still have a bit of work to do. We won’t ride our luck as much again so if we give Raith as many chances as tonight we will need to score a few of our own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith-radgie Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Duggan changed the dynamic of the side.He needs to drop Davo go 4 and play percentage football as high up the park as possible Sat.It’s the hope that kills you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Saw that and presumably by next April more of the same. Falkirk down will be a big obstacle. Tougher league next season for all. No mugs.If it was me as chairman lol it's part time and be the best of the rest as we won't get above Falkirk. With Alloa and Arbroath in league above its probably the most realistic bet. They say that it's better this season re funds. That bad season was paying off twats like Locke and Jackson along with yogi Hughes etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Firat half was very much a case of fine margins in terms of finishing. Queens did well to kill any momentum in the second while picking us off. At 3 down we're down. Fair fucks to McKay getting one back. Keeps the tie alive in some sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We have absolutely nothing to fear now. So we just go and get it finished. Well beaten by a superior team. Even Alan Martins mishaps and still couldn’t make it count. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Raith have to score first in the away tie. The goal gives you a chance but I just can't see how that defence keeps a clean sheet on Saturday. Absolutely atrocious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 As soon as the rovers stopped punting stupid fucking long balls forward and actually ran at queens and passed the ball we cut them open and scored. Learn the fucking lesson mcglynn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoanEhRaith Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Tie is still alive to some extent with that McKay goal, I’m happy to be in the final but for us to inevitably lose because of our defensive mishaps is just so frustrating. We need the first goal on Saturday if we have any chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Everyone keeps referencing the Champions' League comebacks.

R.R.FC Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Congrats to QOTS, tie over now. We needed that 2nd goal to stand a chance going into Saturday. We’re definitely capable of scoring a couple in Dumfries but there is no chance we can keep a clean sheet. Not unexpected, we are not good enough as shown through the season. I genuinely think if McGlynn had got this lot promoted it would be up there with anything he has achieved as a Rovers manager. Only 3 or 4 players I’d be really disappointed to lose. Didn’t think there was much in the game in overall play but Queens took their chances and deserved to win because of that. Dobbie is a class act but I actually thought Dykes was even better tonight, he bullied our defence all night and pulled them all over the place. Thought Duggan was excellent when he came on, would like to see him start on Saturday. I’ll still be heading to Dumfries, we won’t come back but on the 0.00001% chance we did, I’d never forgive myself for not going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am hopeful that Johnston will have them going out in an attacking frame of mind, instead of just settling for and trying to defend what we have. Taking everything into account, I am very pleased with how the first leg has panned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
