Damaged seats in other parts fixed by scavenging those ones that are most at risk from play. They say they are looking for replacements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Elgin's keeper is in short sleeves, and without an undershirt. There must be a reasonably significant chance of him freezing to death before full time. Was just coming on to say how much I respect the Elgin keeper for that acy of manliness. Solid c**t IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy's Ghost Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Just not our night. We gave a decent team a 2 goal start with awful defending and couldn’t quite get back on terms. The more I see the red card the more I’m convinced it’s a bad call but good luck to Raith in the semis! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Elgin, other than a wee flurry in either half, were absolutely awful. Had paid absolutely no attention to how we play and were happy for us to have the ball. We didn't get out of second gear but absolutely cruised it for the most part. 3 goals scored by our youth players. Braw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithTheRover Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 I’d respect the RRYT using the ‘you fat b*****d’ chant if not the keeper wasn’t the skinniest boy on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin were nowhere near their best either and your fans were asking for the final whistle against 10 men - hardly a glorious victory! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom & Gerry Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Should have been 2 2 at HT and stone wall penalty turned down we could have been up. Raith were only cruising when we were down to 10 and then still not good enough to kill it. Never a sending off either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy enough for teams to start playing when they are 2-0 down. We had more than enough in the tank to win that game, 10 or 11 men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won the game so fair play but I didn’t see anything in that team to suggest they were cruising - if anything they looked a little rattled towards the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late goal would always lead to a late rally. In reality we had a couple good chances at 3-1 before the sending off, and two absolute sitters after it. Elgin threw bodies forward towards the end, and we dealt with it. The end of the first half was the big chance, felt we looked comfortable after the break and deservedly went through. All the best for the rest of the season. Elgin is a good away day and if we don't go up this year hope we at least get a trip up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Elgin were a decent side, Sutherland looked a player. As has been said we never got out of second gear.... but I’m not sure if we had it in us to up a gear had we needed to tonight. Don’t think that was a red card either to be fair. From a Rovers point of view, surely the players get frustrated with McKay playing right wing back- every time we start going forward and he gets it the play slows, stops and goes backwards as he puts his foot on the ball and plays it back or sideways. Kills any momentum. I still think he’s a good player for this level but at CB, not wing back. Finally, credit to anyone who went tonight, f**k that when it’s freezing and the game is on the telly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Is this stonewall penalty the one that hit andos shoulder? Never a pen. Fairly comfortable night and as others have said we didn't need to get out of second gear. All the best to Elgin for the rest of the season. Was a good away support considering its a Friday night and was on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Where I was sitting it looked like it hit his shoulder. Fair enough if it is shown on TV it hit his arm. It 100% hits his arm and is definitely a definitely, tbf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No awful injustice with that or the red card - just footballing decisions that sometimes don’t go your way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
