Richey Edwards Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I thought Raith Rovers played well. They were organised and put a good shift in. The second goal was very cruel and snatched whatever chance they had away, which was a shame. It's a big ask to go to either of the arsecheeks and cause an upset, but if I was a RR fan I would be pleased with how they played and to get through the game without losing anyone to injury. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’d have thunk it? As for the game, we got what we expected. Hopefully we haven’t picked up any more knocks and getting more minutes into Vaughan and Ross’s legs can only be a good thing. The more prominent rangers fans on here are generally quite decent. I think there was a lot of the idiotic ones lost around about the valentines day incident a few years back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Put it in perspective Rangers and Celtic are bulldozing teams in the Premiership never mind the likes of us This was always a case of trying to give a good account of ourselves even more so being ravaged with injuries and we did to a certain extent defensively.Apart from a couple of flashes,not a lot going forward but to be expected as Rangers pressed us high up the pitch Lost a poor first goal at a bad time and the second could have went anywhere but no,it being the Rovers it ends in the back of the net Happy with the effort the players put in and its been a good experience especially for our younger players For me its all about staying in this division and build for next season.

Ian Murray gives a good post match interview Bang on, the gulf in resources is different planet stuff. There has to be questions ultimately of the resources Murray has going into next season. He has shown himself to be worth the backing. Post match interviews on TV today and Raith TV are spot on. I watched the McGlynn one post Dunfermline and the difference is stark. John done a great job but communication like his team selections seemed to be tactical. It's just the ease Murray has saying the honest thing and taking responsibility. We're far from perfect but it's an interesting proposition thinking what he could do if backed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I was hoping for a bit more from us for the last 20 minutes of the game when both Vaughan and Ross were on, but we just couldn’t manage to put Rangers under any sort of serious pressure and the couple of half chances we made never came to anything. We pretty much parked the bus for the whole first half and defended well enough up until Rangers got a corner from the Main Stand side and Goldson finally got on the end of a corner. It’s a shame that the likes of Brown and Millen couldn’t make the team and it’s a shame we couldn’t have tested McGregor more than we did and maybe got a goal. Hopefully we make some decent money from the game. Onwards and upwards. Hopefully we can retain the diddy cup and push on in the league.

stressball Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Only part of my bet that didn’t come up was Rangers getting a penalty. When cantwell got halfed I thought it was happening but of course that dick Arfield scored off of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 1 hour ago, Rovers_Lad said: Put it in perspective Rangers and Celtic are bulldozing teams in the Premiership never mind the likes of us Absolutely this. In the last week the Old Firm have gone to Easter Road and Tynecastle and swept the 3rd and 4th placed teams aside. We matched those results even with a weakened squad. And both of them were at home and we were away. And thankfully we didn’t shit the bed like Hearts and concede after 2 minutes. The best you can hope for in these sorts of games is that they underestimate you, but this cup is realistically all Rangers have left to play for this season so they was never going to be any complacency on their part. Hopefully we can get back to securing our place in the Championship and have a good day out at the Challenge Cup Final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand that type of player. If it's a foul the ref will give it, you don't need to toss yer hair and throw your arms in the air. Back in the bad old days players that did that got extra attention for being lightweights. I did enjoy hoofing wingers into the air, but that was mainly because I was totally shite at the actual football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to the school of Grealish Winging (I couldn’t think of a better word) by the looks of it. Get ball, hope for foul, fall over, hope whistle goes and repeat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bloody frustrating as he's actually a good player, when he just concentrates on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
