didnt see any other thread, everyone must be sick with that result today. first half we were doing ok, scored and then had about 3 or 4 corners that we had half chances from, naismith hit the bar with a header. raith didnt threaten too much in the first half they just kept pumping long balls over the top hoping baird would get on the end of.
second half we were absolutely stinking. erskine had a great chance one on one with the keeper but took it with his left foot trying to place it into the far away corner and it ended up a passback.
raith were first to every ball,and to every second ball, they were hungrier, fittier, faster, stronger, more organised and in baird they have someone who can knick a half chance and gamble on a defence fcuking up, which ours did. i think they wanted to win the match more than we did, our players couldny give two sh1ts. no-one in that team got pass marks. o donnell archie,cole and fox at the back were shite. terrible marking for their goal, soft free kick floated into the back post, no one within about 10 yards of their guy who hit a good volley in.marking was non existant. baird was buzzing about as usual causing us all problems and it was inevitable that he would score.yet again schoolboy defending, cross into the box, archie is indecisive as usual looking at fox, who is equally indecisive, baird nicks in and headers over fox. fcuking disgusting performance. what I would give for baird in my team, he causes problems and looks busy whereas dools and naismith/elliott just run about like headless chickens making half arse attempts to tackle or win the header for flick ons. 3 things were always going to happen today, raith win, baird goal and yet again grant f'n murray would stroll through the game with no-one causing him problems.
dont think the sending off would have changed anything to be honest, paton was fcuking minging in midfield as usual, offers us absolutely nothing in the middle, cant pass, cant tackle, doesnt score, fcukin waste of oxygen. i didnt see what happened but as far as i could tell the ref was giving us the free kick, paton was down holding his foot and got up and said something to the number 10, the linesman said something to the ref and he went for his back pocket, i thought the ref was going to send off their number 10, paton didnt seem to complain too much so who knows. 3 of the 4 teams underneath us all won aswell. time to go Jackie.
