TopCat Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 FFS, well Dunfermline might as well throw in the towel as they got pumped by a shit Falkirk side. I'm sure the Dunfermline supporters are up in arms......................or mibbie no. Calm down, not a great result. Unlike some I think it's poor going out of this cup to a lower league team but Raith have only lost 1 league game this season. It was half a team, we'd lost our star man to an U21 international last night, so all is not lost. Chill. Losing to Falkirk is hardly comparable. A lot of that Falkirk team were part the side that finished 2nd in the championship last season. There was clearly an issue with Houston at the start of this season and he's left and now they've beaten Morton away and Dunfermline.They'll be up there at the end of the season.

Sonny Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Dundee Utd are playing their U21 team today so it shows how much they rate this tournament. They believe that the Diddy Cup last season cost them promotion. Anyway we should have won that game as they defended with everyone behind the ball in the first half and we could easily have been a couple up. However they took their goals well in the second half as we pushed players forward. Biggest problem today was penetration from the midfield. Young Ethan played the safe ball every time and did not push forward the way McGinn would but I certainly am not having a go at the young guy making his debut at such a young age. Stelios was excellent and Stewart played very well but a couple of other fringe players did not show up well at all. Best of luck to Raith but I am not going to lose sleep over being out of this Cup.

As for your prediction Falkirk will be "up there", that easily debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away wi yer continual shite, it's way beyond dreary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the amount, it's about the goals that are avoidable. Like Billiam said, and it's not rocket science, Ross, like most fans, are counting the minutes till we get our full squad back and fit.

Wilbur Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 So two teams that couldn't give a toss about this competition. Me too, I didn't bother today. Nothing to see here except for the usual negative posters finally sticking their heads above the parapet after a long period of sustained success on the field.

(2)We have six players to come back in next week. (3) That was one inept performance from a lot of guys with first team experience. (4) Three really. Good goals from Raith well deserved win for them. I told a Raith fan last week they would beat us simply because if we struggled badly against East Kilbride we were not going to beat them and I was right Big Big lmprovement needed next week. Where does one start? Perhaps a class on when to use full stops and capital letters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Is The Man Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Defence has been a shambles all year, can't wait for our 2 injury prone defenders to come and save the day [emoji849] On a better note, good to see Gavin get back on the scoresheet, his confidence must've been waining having not hit the net in a while. Hopefully that'll give him a boost in the right direction. Also mentions for Hilson and Stewart who put in a lot of effort and done a power of running. Will give Jack a headache in an attacking sense, shame the same can't be said about defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Some of the drama is hilarious. We were comfortably the better side for an hour. Stewart and Hilson showed up relatively well and on another day, we'd have been 2 or 3 to the good before Raith got a dig away. 2 great saves, one off the line, one off the post, one off the bar and Reillys goal. All this despite it being mostly a fringe side. They scored 2 absolute belters and one that looked offside. Most of the first team missing, that was mostly a second string side and we looked comfortably better. Had Raith pummelled us off the park I might be concerned. But they didn't, not even close.

DumboBud Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 The defence is one that would be a normal one for the first part of the season and was still incapable of keeping a clean sheet. Stelios and Stewart (outfield) were the only ones that really played anything like they should Ethan did ok but I don't think he is quite ready yet to step up the way Kyle McGennis has but give it a few months and he will be better prepared. Was a game for McShane to step up and lead and dictate the play and he quite clearly didn't want to or can't. Dissapointing sums it up.

Kenny fae Partick' Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 This game and the Irn Bru Cup in general were a bit of an irrelevance in terms of our longer term ambitions and were obviously treated as such by Jack. One thing it did confirm is how abysmal our defence is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
