| 141. Author: Polt Date: Sat 7th Nov 2026. 11:06 Unfortunately working last night and missed a fair bit of tv coverage. It looked a well scrappy game. Ref’s performance well below standard requirements for professional football game. Fraser got the ball didn’t look like he got any of the player and got booked. Tiffoney should have been off for that neck haul from behind. Commentary even commented that in rugby that’s a straight red never mind football. Now the penalty claim, It showed 2 angles in replay. First one looks like he was poleaxed. Second one behind the goal replay suggested Rae made significant contact with Thomas`s lower body without cleanly taking the ball. It was absolutely a penalty. Another clean sheet, an important point and continuing our unbeaten run. ![]() Reply |

Thomas (aslong as the shoulder isn’t bad) should be nearing full fitness to start, Kane and Rudden can be utilised. We have plenty of options up top. Gilmour can come in for Oyirwoth or Amade, thought he done ok when he came on albeit a short time. Our squad is very big and we have plenty of ok options without any real standouts. Fingers crossed this is where we can kick on where other teams like raith will really struggle with such small squads. Reply |

| 147. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 7th Nov 2026. 13:22 "You know if Adams had scored, it would have been hauled back for a penalty." That would have caused an uproar from the players and staff. The advantage rule "has" to be applied in that scenario. The referee last night was poor - but not quite to that level of incompetence.

The haul of Tod in the penalty area where the opposition arms are around the upper body neck area shows that referees who are used to the back up of VAR may becoming used to that back up rather than using it to improve themselves. It was the worst performance from a referee for a long time. Reply |

| 150. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 7th Nov 2026. 13:51 For me Adams was receiving too many passes with his back to goal. To use his pace against Stevenson he needed a ball to run on to so he could take him on or a ball behind the defence into space. He may have been partly to blame because of his positiong but it should have been sorted. Post Edited (Sat 07 Nov 14:08) Reply |
| 151. Author: Parsdaft Date: Sat 7th Nov 2026. 15:16 We rarely pass the ball up the channels, generally we receive it looking back to our goal. Players don’t seem to want to make the run past the man into space. Reply |
