Didn't see what happened at the red but it was a catalyst for our performance.

McAllister (Ayry Fairy United) elbowed Glenn Middleton in the pus.
 

Mortal blow on Morton. Like the last twa gehms, was hoping for a win, but this surpassed expectations.

SWMBO was on a night oot, so spent the nicht on the lonesome, but it was still a Carlsberg Friday night, even tho it was Tennents Eh was downing.

It would be great if the grit and determination shown last night esp. in the 1st half, woulda been seen mair in recent weeks, we mighta had it wrapped up beh now. We coulda been miles awa. However we are where we are.

As fir Raith, heres hoping that Thistle are a thorn in thir side. Mathematically, if Raith drap points later, we only need 1 mair win to clinch the title, hopefully against Ayry fairy next week.

MOTM for me Tony Watt.

Chuft

Efter a gehm Eh wisna particularly lookin forward to, and a night oot Eh wisna particularly lookin forward to, yesterday efternanes events gave cause fir great celebration of last nicht.

A very very decent performance against a half decent team. No afore time.

They great saves fae Walton aff the line set the tone fir the gehm.

We musta had a dozen coarners. They had 1. All credit to the lads the day. Brilliant, everyone oe them, and gonna give a mention to the lad McClelland. Get him in the back line every match.

Honestly wish we'd put in a few mair performances like that, esp since the New Year, and we wouldna be so close to the cliff edge as we've been in recent weeks.

Thought the Ref was too saft to begin we Raith, letting them awa we an awfy lot. Nae caird issued fir the deliberate foul in the box fir the Moult penalty ?

MOTM for me Tony Watt.

If we loss next week, I think we'll have had it as far as winning the League's concerned. (jist meh opinion of coorse, no trehin to start anything).

That's when I think it'll be curtains for him, but as Roger sayed, probably too late.

I don't know how I'll react if we dinna win this. Nothing less now. If it's no a good win for Goodwin, then it'll be goodbye.

Shite defending cost us the goals.  Holt shoulda dealt we the 1st twa oe them, and Gallacher fir the 3rd.

On the night, we were baet beh the better side. The side is underperforming. We're way aff it. Somethins no phuckin right. It was Dunfermline Athletic we were playing, no Dynamo Zagreb.

It could be goodbye to Goodwin before lang, and the quicker Ogren sells up, the better.

Dinna hae any much mair to say. Totally seek. phuckin gutted and absolutely pissed off if Ehm honest.

Well thats a butty mair like it. Mostly 1-way traffic the day. Musta had aboot a dozen on target.

Coulda had a barrowful the day, thats meh only wee moan, we coulda had a couple mair, esp. in the 1st half, when we had a couple oe double opportunities.

We drapped aff efter the 2nd goal, and the gehm went inta a kinda lull.

Well done to Grieve the day. Didna dae a Middleton and hit it aff the keeper, passed to the man in the best postion, and he deserved his ain goal.

Once again in the 2nd half, the gehm went inta a lull efter the 4th goal. Efter 80 mins, Arbroath gave up.

MOTM fir me Sibbald.

Thank the Lord for that.

Back to the booing.

At half time it was made clear from folks round me (GF Lower middle) that it was directed at the Ref. It was still 0-0.

After the 2nd goal rolled in, I just stood up with my hands on my haed, as loadsa fowk squeezed past me to get oot. At FT, just turned and went up the stairs. It's mair clearer then wha the booing was directed at.

Thats the way to do it.

Apart from the Ponderosa time wasting for periods of the match at the back, that was a good performance.

QP were no bad on the times they had a break, thats how they scored. There was a period in the 2nd half when they had us stuck in oor ain half, Eh couldna work oot how that was happening TBH, but it thankfully never came to phuck-all.

Goals. Moults - a belter.
Tilsons - gled fir the lad, just wish his passing was better, gave the ga awa a number too many times.
Middleton - Ehv never had 100% complete confidence in him, but he took it well. Full credit to him coz he played well the day.

Twa boys in near me moaning when Moult and Cudjoe were ta'en aff, and they were shouting aboot Goodwin putting on "twa dummies" instead. But Eh was plaesed just a wee while later to point oot that the "twa dummies" had just got a goal and an assist. ( TBH Eh didna want Cudjoe ta'en aff either )

Nae surprehz Scott the Balloon never did us any favours.

MOTM for me, Cudjoe and Thomson.

Fir once, was gled Eh was at the gehm rather than suffering some of the gloating there was on the TV efter the gehm. Heard Goodwin didna even dae an interview? Is that right?

Raiths 1st goal was AFFSIDE. It was right in front oe me. That Rudden-pus was a yaird aff when the boy put the ba in. Eh looked to the left and the lino wasna even in-line we the back line !! Listening fir Robertsons whistle, and ah we heard was they chunts celebrating. Shit luck and shit-shockin officials. Phucking livid.

Loadsa fowk thought that Graham scored the equaliser, but fae whar Eh was, ye could see the ba jist scuffing aff Moults haed.

They went into a huge dip efter we equalised, and we didna take advantage oe it. We bossed maest oe the gehm, but we seemed happy to play fir a drah.

Trust it to be a chunt called Scott Broon to pull that goal oot oe a hat. Bit a shit luck, nae doot, but......

We had over a dozen attempts, oor finishing let us doon. Took us 40 mins to score, and in 95 mins, we only managed to score jist the once. Thats no League winning.

Their subs cheenged the gehm, but oors never. WTF did he tak Wotherspoon aff fir ?.

Still too much pissin aboot alang the back. Graham and Holt slowing the gehm doon. Canna remember Raith passin the ba back to their keeper once.
(but feel free to correct me if Ehm wrang, Eh just canna be phucked annoyed looking thru the recording)

In a contest between Dundee United and Raith phuckin Rovers, thirs only 1 team that should come oot on tap, and it's no they Fife whoors.

MOTM for me Fothery.

Thank phuck fir that result the day. Was beginning to think we wirna gonna get any advantage on Raith.

Was quakin it the day TBH.

Rest easy the night. Goodwin lives up to his name for the time being.
