Stranraer v Rovers

[badgerthewitness 2,482]

Yes!

[EdinburghBlue 546]

Since when was it against the rules to score direct from a corner?

It's not. It's against the rules to hold the 'keeper though.

Foul on goalkeeper 🤷

Can’t help feeling like this match will sort of define our season. Win today and we open up a nice little gap over Falkirk and pile the pressure in them to win every game.  I know ultimately it’s just 3 points at stake like every other game, but it feels more important, like a statement of intent (or not)

The wind is really lifting now. That's three or four efforts in the last couple of minutes that have gone straight out of play. Ref must at least be starting to ask himself the question...

I’m always terrible for pessimism when I’m not at the game and today is no different. Got a really pish feeling about the last 25 or so minutes.

Feel the same. Had hoped we could go down there and graft out a win. We might still, but frustrating not to hold onto the lead

It's a total lottery. Both sides are getting chances. Bene has just had a volley go wide at the back post because a defender couldn't get a solid header on Armstrong's freekick. But Stranraer have had a couple of really good chances from set pieces of their own. Thomson made one excellent point blank save from a second ball.

The pitch makes playing on the ground incredibly difficult, but the wind makes anything else completely unpredictable.

There's another goal in this one, but it'll probably be someone putting into their own net.

Fingers crossed. Get the win and you start thinking ‘this could be the season’. Defeat and you start thinking ‘it’s happening again’.

Absolutely hate when we're away to places like Stranraer. There's an expectation from neutrals I work with who'll say "oh you should be looking for a win there" but it's a complete leveller. If we can snatch a winner then it's utterly huge, but listening to the commentary I'm struggling to see it happening. I'd think it's far more likely Stranraer will grab a winner.

I wonder if the raith fans will get the same treatment as us big bad bairns fans for complaining about the pitch. It’s shite and it makes the game almost a total lottery. Fact

Tony Dingwall on...I'll be happy to be proved wrong but for me he offers very little. 

[Raith Against The Machine 4,583]

Dingwall has just pulled a ball out of the sky, in 50mph wind, and killed it dead on his toes.

And then driven a crossfield pass right out of play, never within 30 yards of another yellow jersey.

Oh, Tony.

[Easy Days for Raith 100]

This bloody wind...

[Broken Algorithms 3,768]

Full time. If we can get promoted, I'd be delighted that we could avoid having to go to Stranraer for a few seasons. Never get any luck down there.

1-1 Finish. I’ll take that....
