HoustonRover Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Yeah don't think you can question Cardle and McManus effort. Cardle was fine for us in a team that didn't particularly play expansive football. McManus did what McManus does and just isn't a great footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith_Raver Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If the game's on this shite weather will suit dunfermline more than us, our slick play will suffer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Weather in Kdy is brutal. Strong winds, driving rain and sleet and bloody freezing. Any better along the road? I wouldnt fancy being out in this for 90 mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Cardle, for us, was somewhat anonymous for large parts of the season if I recall correctly. Well... unless the tv cameras were out! Then he'd be scoring 40 yard screamers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't help that our central midfield disappeared as Liam Fox seemed to slow down to the point I thought he might have been an oak tree. Also, our strike force was Elliot, Spence and Smith so not like Cardle had anything good to feed into either. Eventually Baird arrived to bail us out, but f**k me that was a shite forward line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Yeh, I wasn't intending to bash him at all. He was still one of our better players but I just remember fans feeling that was wasn't contributing enough as we lulled through the middle of the season and the frustration as he turned inside for the millionth time. Pretty sure Scare Bear used to call him "TV Cardle" as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Probably because the only time Scary ever saw the Rovers was when we were on the tele. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was still having some joy doing it against us back in the challenge Cup semi tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to be more tolerant these days so hope he does well at Livi. He will certainly get some decent gear, sorry, service there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be me but I thought Callum Elliot was excellent when he first joined. Chipped in with goals and his hold up/link play was very good. As soon as the defeats started around December you could see his confidence disappear along with the rest of the team to the point he quickly became hopeless. Very frustrating because he started the season well. Jason Thomson rated him as one of the best, most skilful strikers he had played with at Starks, certainly in that initial spell before it all turned to shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a game against Dundee. We lost and had someone sent off, but he spent the second half ragdollling their defence with no support. Unfortunately, as you say injuries and confidence got the better of him. Edited February 3, 2021 by renton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Onto the game, our record at EEP is stinking and we haven't won back to back games since the start of the season. Dunfermline not scoring many or conceding many. Meanwhile we are scoring reasonably freely and also conceding goals a plenty. I think a score draw would be a decent result for us here. They will be able to press us better than Charlie Adam's Dundee, and have wide players who should be able to make more of our fragility at crosses. On the other hand we should have enough going forward to cause a few problems for even their stingy defence.

Where is @SteakandGravy's Solicitor ! I need representation. I didn’t come up with the ‘TV Joe’ thing. I just joined the baying mob. I recall having a go at him at times, probably during that time where we won the Ramsdens Cup but were torture in the league. Cardle was okay for us. Highlights being that TV goal against St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup QF and that goal at East End Park in the Ramsdens Cup.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Mcmanus tried his arse off to be fair but it just didn't work out for him at the Rovers. The weather is ridiculous in Kirkcaldy and I can't imagine it being any better 15 miles along the road. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this goes ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Fox scored it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
