Livi v Peterhead - Sat 19th Nov '16

I'm expecting nothing less than a convincing victory tomorrow.

I'm expecting nothing less than a game of football.... I wonder who'll be most disappointed just before 5pm?

Seriously... I expect Peturheid to sit in and try to frustrate us.

I've really only been disappointed with our efforts in one game this season, losing to Albion. I didn't see the losses at Hampden or Methil. I think we should be good enough to win but I will not expect anything other than 100% effort from the guys who cross the white line.

We were the better team but it was just one of those days when we couldn't put the ball in the net. We weren't helped either by some shocking refereeing.

I would say how the hell did we lose that game but we've gone off the boil in front of goal and didn't take any of our numerous chances in the first half. Second half we're throwing more and more players forward, which gave Peterhead the chance to hit long balls up the pitch to their lone striker to chase, odds on they'd get a chance or two to hit us on the counter with a sucker punch.

Still, Buchanan pulled one back with 10 mins plus injury time to score again and salvage a point but we didn't really push on to do so and the game got bogged down, which suited Peterhead.

We're playing well in attack so hopefully things will start clicking in front of goal again soon. There is still a long way to go till the end of the season, and we've hit our first bump with back to back defeats. Next week gives us another beak from the league with a difficult cup game against Airdrie and to try and get things going in front of goal again.

I wasn't at the game but a sore defeat by the sounds of it.

I know the usual faces will have a pop but, in my opinion, it's a disgrace when we get beaten by part-time teams. I've always thought that.

The boy livibudgie/livimoaner used to have some stats regarding our absolutely terrible record over the years against full-time teams but we hardly cover ourselves in glory when up against teams cobbled together with plumbers, brickies and forklift operators either.

Hi, usual face here.  
Aye thon Rory McAllister is a plumber I hear. I also hear he is on a contract at Peterhead that more than a few full time teams couldn't afford. The full time/part time thing is not as clear cut as it once was with a lot of part time clubs spending as much as teams like Livi and Airdrie. We're not talking about coal miners finishing their shift at 12.00 and cycling down to the fitba pitch to play. Keeping fit these days with the plethora of gyms everywhere is easier than it once was.
You're right though. We should have won that game cos we were the better team. On another day several of our near misses would have gone in. 
I'd be more worried if we had been rubbish. We weren't though. As you will know sometimes in fitba shit happens for a variety of reasons.

Aye, we thrashed them 1-2. Peterhead scored both goals against the run of play, the also defended like bears when we got any chances and when we got through their defence we couldn't finish and they adapted to the heavy conditions better, especially when the pitch started cutting up. No home games for a month, so hopefully it gets a chance to recover.

Officials were worse than useless, failing to penalise innumerable overly heavy challenges & pushes in the back and being inept at identifying offside. Nothing directly influenced the goals we conceded but who knows what any of the unawarded free kicks we should have had could have led to. There was also an occasion in the first half where we would have had a clear advantage if he had let us keep going but he called it back for a free kick, which he didn't blow for until our player got clear and ready to set up an attack that would have seen us with a numerical superiority heading into their half.
