Broken Algorithms Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 This is ridiculous. Really should be three or four up but Fleming has other ideas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Days for Raith Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Not convinced, but we should be able to see this through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Fleming having a stormer. We’re not good enough defensively to get away with missing so many chances. Playing well though, hopefully can get an early third. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We've a terrifying habit of lying off teams in the second half when we're up at half time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Both of those yellows were soft. The first was probably borderline. It was a clear foul but it was very early in the game. The second, well, it was two boys jumping for a header and one coming off worse. Unless there was an arm up that I couldn't see, I've no idea how he's decided it's worth a booking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 The usual shite referees who seem to single us out for punishment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being sent off for booting someone off the ball or an elbow or shouting at the ref is in acceptable but lambasting a centre half for making a tackle seems too far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not there so don't know why he was given a second yellow, just totally fed with barely scraping together a starting XI and then picking up red cards to worsen it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Should never have been that close. Only one team in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first yellow was quite soft, the second yellow was never a yellow and barely a whistle. Davo in for McKay next week, solves the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Greg Fleming was the undoubted man of the match. On another day, the Rovers could've had four or five by half time. But from the moment Fleming tipped his penalty around the post, Regan Hendry seemed to lose his way a little, and when Hendry isn't ticking, neither is the rest of the Rovers side.The second half was a lot more disjointed than the first, although there were still a few chances. Things threatened to get a little nervy with the red card. McKay's second booking came after he lost out on a 50/50 header. While it might well have been a foul, I've no idea why it warranted a booking. The referee had made a similar decision a couple of minutes previously when he booked Watson, and he seemed to be reacting more to the Peterhead player's burst nose than the actual challenge.Replacing McKay should, at least, be relatively straightforward. Either Anderson or Davidson will slot back in. It'll be interesting to see how we cope with the loss of Gullan, though. He offers a combination of drive and finishing that we don't really have anywhere else. It looks like Dingwall is the next in line, but his performances will have to increase markedly if he's to claim that number ten role permanently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait could play for Gullan, with Matthews or Dingwall replacing him as a pure mid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo in for McKay next week, solves the question.The first was soft the second was a defo yellow it was very badly timed challenge. Cant believe fans were clapping him off for being that daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
