Certainly not offside and goalie made full attempt to save, a harsh decision to awArd a foul especially as moments later a similar challenge on bates at the other end and the ref waves play on ! Bates fully deserved mom award best display for raith 👍

I agree with McKinnon that the 'foul' which caused the goal to be disallowed was soft, but not sure I agree with him that we deserved something from the game - the Huns are no great shakes, but once again for 45 minutes we stood off them, admired them and continuously surrendered possession to them. Better second 45 but no support to the forwards.

Pass marks to Cuthbert, Davo and Bates. Harry P looked decent,but starved of service. McKeown and Stewart had shockers.
Longridge very lucky not to see red for his kick out.

Surprised there's not been more said about Craigen having to go off - it looked like he was taken out by a blow to his face, off the ball. Davo was raging about it.

Poor 1st half with Stewart, Callachan, McKeown and Longridge all pretty guff!
Second 45 and we were a far better looking team but still didn't look like scoring although it must be said that if anyone is going to look like create chances then it could be young Harry.

Pity Craigan didn't get longer he may just have done better and had he not needed replaced I think Longridge might have been hooked for Anderson.
Still it's a sad day when the best midfield performance we've seen for weeks comes from Toshney.

I'd have liked to have seen Matthews and either Craigan or McCord in for Callachan and Robertson who have been awful of late, Robertson wasn't anything special tonight and Callachan had another bad day at the office too.

Bates, Bene and Toshney were our best performers one the 90 with Connolly, Davo and McKeown all good in short spells even if the latter ultimately cost us the game with a terrible bit of play late in the 1st half.

Shame really tonight was probably our best chance to take something from a fairly ordinary Rangers team.

Good evening all, RossTheFox back again, sorry to see the scoreline, but a great effort against poss the best team in the league. How did our Harry do my friends?

The atmosphere tonight was dire at both ends.
It's not that long ago that the prospect of playing the Huns at the San Starko under the lights would have whipped the whole town into a frenzy.

Agree Scotty.

There is a lack of belief in the side and its not doing us any good. McKinnon needs to look at the players who let us down most weeks and get them sorted out. Harry P should have been on from the start instead of Stewart Slapstick, who is appalling.

We made rangers look better than they actually were, we stood off them, played the ball to them, slow movement, total lack of skill and surrendered like wimps. Why do our players lift teh ball up to another player when it would be easier to pass the ball on the deck???? As for throw-ins - what ajoke.

Not good enough and yet with some decent passes we could have miracoulously got a goal and an equaliser.

Many Thanks rovers4ever, I'm still buzzing from the result, and Vardy's first goal was "Effin" brilliant!

But this is your forum not Leicester's, so back to Rovers Smile

I'm glad he had a good first game, and once he's up to the pace of your league hopfully he can pop a few in that count this time.

I was at the game tonight and that first half from a rovers point of view was emabarressing.We were far better in the 2nd half but dont have any belief that we can score or win games.Rangers arent the greatest and if we had a go at them then i fancy we could have got something out it.I came away from starks had a wee rant about the performance,moaned about liverpool getting beat then came home.I got in the house thought of ally and what he is going through and said to myself there is more important things than a game of football.
