We looked out of sorts for the first 20 minutes, only when Ross told Smith to drop into midfield to make a 5 did we actually get a foothold in the game. Yep. We started very nervy. It's as much about the way Raith we're set up as ourselves too. When the first goal went in, they were always going to open up a bit. I think we all knew they were there for the taking once that happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also looked like they want to kick us of the park in the first 20mins . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I hope the Raith players are in as much turmoil and on as much of a downer as their manager. Going by this, http://www.raithrovers.net/raithtv?vid=694 , Yogi has gone Bearseck. A rant of infinite proportions and, dare I say, not exactly motivational.

Edinbuddie Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Just a wee mention for Cammy Smith and Garry Irvine here, as they put in a great shift just like the rest - that was a "complete" team performance today ! Do you get entertainment like that at the cinema? I would also give a mention to Adam Eckersley. I've tended to think that he's been steady enough but thought he was excellent yesterday. Won the vast majority of his challenges, closed opponents down and got forward to support Morgan. I think most of us were very worried when Harry Davis was injured, but big Bairdy has done a great job and looks a different player to earlier in the season.

Stoobs Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I have just seen the second goal again and I still could not see it being deflected, it looks like it just curled in, but this may be because its only from the west bank camera angle. I was in Main Stand. Took a massive deflection off Raith player's back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a "don't blame me, blame them" interview. "The players aren't coaching each other"? Isn't it the coaches job to discipline the team ready for a game?

The, "Players should be more like me, Humble" line smacks of a desperate attempt at deflection. Asking the question, "When was the last time Raith won on the road"? I would have thought that was the reason his board brought him in. Sorry. I might be reading this wrong but I don't believe any player watching this back might just be a bit peeved at the insinuation that Yogi's innocent of all charges and they are totally culpable of this shambolic end to a season. Not that I am complaining as, along with our truly astounding revival, their implosion has been imperative to our chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A classic old school, prehistoric coach who's finally realising his day's are almost over. Talking about bullying players in this day and age ffs.

I think he's spot on You cannot hold players hands on the pitch He did take some of the blame Saying he has been too soft on them when he should have told them a few home truths Saying that if you know your players aren't good enough to play fitba the right way don't set them up that way Still trying to play fitba the right way when that's isn't required this stage of the season Hell mend them anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren TV is, mostly, so wide a shot it looks as if the flippin camera is at the airport. Oh, our 2nd half display, especially, was outstanding.

Sonny Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I loved Morgan's goal. The three lay-offs then roof of the net with Raith players lying all around the place. Friggin brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
