Moonball Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 1 minute ago, Life on Marrs? said: 2 questions from todays game, After Dangana having his red card rescinded last week, could we appeal him not getting a yellow for the outrageous dive in the box this week? and, has Dowds' shot near the end of the first half landed yet? Amazing how often the referees don't give a yellow for dives like that. Thought we had a better penalty shout when Andy Stirling tripped over the keeper earlier on but the highlights will no doubt reveal all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDLL Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Deserved point from Stranraer considering the second half. We should have been out of sight after the first half though. Hart looked at fault big time for the goal, caught in absolute no man's land, he never looks comfortable with crosses. Even when he punches he looks mega uncomfortable. There's no point having two goalkeepers to compete with each other if one of them's never getting a chance (the better one in my opinion!). I make that one clean sheet in 11? It's not all down to the keeper, but until the highlights prove me wrong this one was. Time to bring back Brett.#BBBHart made the wrong decision which cost us a goal, if he had stayed on his line it could have been different, we looked like a team who had just met each other 5 mins before the start of the second half, game could have been won in the first half had we took our chances 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I’m shocked Stranraer took anything from you as they’ve been woeful all season (apart from v Raith). Just hope it doesn’t derail you as I don’t want Falkirk or Raith back in the Championship 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Can only really echo what everyone else is saying. First half we were well on top and could easily have gone in two or three in front and I don't think Stranraer would have felt hard done by. Stranraer looked defensively shaky and we were creating chances at will. Second half, totally different story. Stranraer were right up for it, played a very high temp aggressive game and we looked like we couldn't string two passes together. On the second half alone, Stranraer could easily have won that game. The only saving grace for the 45 minutes was that the defence held pretty firm. Have to put the goal down as an error on Hart's part. It was a ball he should have left. In saying that, still undefeated in the league, 17 points and in second place after the first quarter is still a great achievement. And this team have definitely shown that they have what it takes to push Raith and Falkirk for the league this season. The second half today was probably our only genuinely poor 45 minutes in the league so far. Week off next week. Time to get today out the system, rest a few tired bodies and come out refresh against Forfar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Sounds like we didn’t play that well but keeps the unbeaten run going. If we were offered 2nd place with 0 defeats after a quarter of the season we would have all accepted that. Maybe the international break has came along at the right time for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brucelee1973 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Started well got our goal and then.... well best forgotten, Anton struggled today and should have been off way earlier than when he came off, not to worry though unbeaten 1/4 way through campaign only Celtic can boast that as well [emoji106] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG1903 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 First half we could have had 3 or 4. Less said about the second half the better!Young has got a lot right this season but he got today wrong. Going to 4-5-1 and putting Dowds out wide (where he struggled) invited pressure on and Stranraer deservedly got a draw, but only scored through a howler from Hart. I'd like to see Long back in next week. Midfield second half was non existent as we sat so deep and seemed content to protect a 1-0 lead. Today was the worst we've been all season, yet we still didnt lose. Some achievement going the first quarter unbeaten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Marrs? Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He obviously spoke to someone at the club then. Seems a bit of a breakdown in communication somewhere. Pretty pish, having presumably travelled a distance. Maybe something we can learn from, I know that won't make him feel better about it though. I remember years ago, circa 1990, my dad went up to Arbroath for a midweek game that was postponed at short notice, he asked if there was anywhere he could get a bite to eat, having came straight from work, missing tea and it was torrential rain. One of the Arbroath players, ( I believe to be Ralph Brand,) got him in for some tea and toast. You appreciate these little things. There would've been staff in the lounge, dealing with those in hospitality, but I don't know what control they have, surely one of them could've contacted an official, or volunteer. 3.35 today, would've been the perfect time for a Stranraer fan to arrive at today's match as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvz2000 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Have to say it’s refreshing to read all the fair comments on here from EF fans , nice to see so many unbiased reports from opposing fans , sounds like a decent 45 mins from us but a very disappointing start to the season and so far , hopefully we can start playing for the full 90 mins . Best of luck for the rest of the season it’s looking promising for you ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hope it doesn’t derail you as I don’t want Falkirk or Raith back in the Championship Not strictly true - our problem is that we’ve been very good, but only in patches - second half yesterday, first half at Airdrie, at Ayr in the cup - not nearly consistent enough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MethilMink Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hope the club refund travel costs for that stranraer fan. Ive been myself and waited donks on somebody dealing with me, its a reception and isnt fully manned on a match day, not great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Need to see what the circumstances were. Hard to prove travel costs, especially if by car. Maybe a complimentary ticket for the next time Stranraer are at Bayview? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
