Raith v Partick

[TxRover]

It’s time!

[stevoraith]

I'm not crying, you are!

[Otis Blue]

Just heard that Lewis Vaughan has returned to the pitch today - so pleased for the lad.  To come back from 4 ACL injuries is just unbelievable.  I had one ACL/leg break myself 30 years back so I've got some idea of what's involved.  Brilliant news.  Hope it goes well for him!

[Scary Bear]

Thistle fans must hate coming here in recent times. First half was one way traffic. Second half has been a snooze.

Return of the Vaughan though! 

[oneteaminglasgow]

Fucking abysmal.

And there arrives the first of our the customary 4 goals shipped.

Booooooo

[SirJimmyofNic]

Had it been 4 , would that have been a jacket on a slack nail

Raith Rovers 3-0 Partick Thistle?

[CountryBumpkin]

Partick just looked abject all game. Very poor performances all round but the stand out being Muirhead who is awful, a shambles of a footballer at fault for 2 of the 3 goals. 

[BdenJag]

An absolute disgrace from start to finish.

From an Ayr point of view, thanks Raith. From an Ayr point of view, that’ll do Raith. Stand down Raith.

[Derry Alli]

I suppose that'll be another week of the Partick fans -whom were all over the board for numerous weeks - will remain in the shadows. Shame.

Ok ,a string of key injuries,back ups that are hopelessly out of their depth and a team spirit and fight that seems flaccid  at best .Only four points off the boil, however,can we afford to wait until Holt,Tiff,Graham,Doc  et al are back and team turning the corner ? Methinks not ….big change needed now before we become lower table Dogmeat .

Having seen this particular tune the second half of last season, you ain’t whistling Dixie, m8!

[bagpuss]

Well that was a lot easier than expected. Seeing Vaughan return was brilliant.. A good Saturday evening now.

1st half was class, great finish for the first and statues in the Thistle defence for the 2nd, clear and definite penalty which was well taken.

Never got out of 2nd gear in the 2nd half but didn't need to, Partick were really piss poor today, can see why that defence has shipped so many goals in recent games. 

All that said I still expect PT to be challenging for top spot come the final game of the season at San Starko, just hope we are up there with them.

[Raith_Raver]

My take on the game:

Thistle started well and dominated the first ten minutes; we scored with our first shot, a corker from Connolly. After that we played some good stuffwith Thistle fading. Connell's long throws are as good as corners and Connolly slammed in one from around six yards. Akinola then gave a way a penalty, having got away with a similar foul at Connolly's first goal.
Second half we sat back and Thistle dominated the whole half. I wouldn't have grudged them a goal. Standing ovation at Vaughan's return.
A win against Accies next week would make us serious top four candidates.

[Reid]

If I was a Raith fan I’d be annoyed after that. We were there for the taking and they could have scored more than 3 if they really wanted to.
