Raith Against The Machine Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hadn't realised he'd been booked for it too. No idea what the logic is for that. It's one thing to say "any time a ball hits a hand it's a penalty", but it's something else altogether to book players when there's nothing they can do about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Well, this has been a lot more comfortable than I expected. Are we better than we thought or are Arbroath pish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Pleasantly surprised by how much better than Arbroath we were today, all over the park. Up until Bobby Linn shot straight at Jamie McDonald from an acute angle in the 91st minute, I don’t think Arbroath had a shot on goal in the second half. Our midfield bullied theirs and their centre backs struggled all day with Manny’s physicality. Armstrong and Ross looked dangerous on the break. Hard to pick a fault with anyone. Would’ve ideally stuck the penalty away for the icing on the cake, but that’s just nit picking. Great to have league football back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, the whole game suffers because of an ineffective piece of technology implemented to appease people. The whole game, and in particular the majority of games which don't even use the VAR, ends up with joke decisions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 That was seriously impressive once we got ahead. Should've been more in the end but delighted with that. That penalty and red card was absolutely ridiculous though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 When you consider the penalty we didn’t get v Hearts and compare it to the one we did get today, it’s not hard to see why people are sick to the back teeth of this rule. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like the competition of Ross and Vaughan being fit might be what gets him to hit the heights he can more regularly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Really impressed with us the day, once we got ahead we never looked back. Should have been more than 3-0 really. That penalty at the end and Red is really harsh on the Arbroath lad. This new law on handball in the box is ridiculous and to give a yellow for that after far worse wasn’t carded today is shocking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Excellent win and performance, great way to start the season. The first goal changed the game, Arbroath were the better side until that point. Very surprised at the way they collapsed after that but credit to us for lifting our game. Genuinely not a failure in the team. The midfield 3 of Tait, Matthews and Hendry were outstanding. The front 3 looked a threat every time they got the ball. When Armstrong is in the mood like that, he is a joy to watch. Full backs were good too and it’s nice to have a threat down both sides this season. Even the much maligned Bene and Davo were very solid after the first goal, although Arbroath played into their hands with the amount of long balls towards them. Great save first half from MacDonald as well, could have been a different game if that had gone in. The only criticism you can have is that we really should have scored more and were very wasteful in the second half but can’t complain too much after scoring 3. Finally, that penalty and second yellow for the TOB was ridiculous. Would be raging if I was an Arbroath fan losing a key player because of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 We started slowly, with both sides middle doing well, then after a couple of Arbroath chances, things completely changed. Arbroath were “physical” the whole game, but it didn’t pay off for them. Not terribly disappointed the second penalty was saved, because the rule is shite. Anyone else notice five red cards across the Championship today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Great start to the league campaign for Rovers. It would have been nice if we’d scored that penalty and made it 4-0. I only saw about 10 minutes of it on Raith TV as my kids had things on. Missed all the goals. Not birthday parties for once. Swimming Club and skatepark this time. I can’t wait to be a pensioner. I can’t wait to see Dick Campbell’s after match comments. Hopefully Raith TV get that sorted. If you could get some footage of him just shouting “fuuuuuuuccckkk” and stomping on his bunnet, that would be entertaining.
