I believe they ran out of pies before half time! Alan Walker was allegedly the person who ate them all!! He was rubbish but so were most of their team too! We were better than them in every position in the first half but then we sat back off them for some reason and they got a wee bit of confidence after the break. They were still mince though. It looks like we're really pushing for third spot now. It was a happy drive home for us yesterday!  :) |

Despite all the bleating by his team mates about the penalty, the guy who actually handled the ball didn't complain. Good decision by the ref.
For their handball 'shout' the ball clearly hits McCann's chest before he punts it clear. Another good decision by the ref.
And their keeper looks a right donkey as he trips, tumbles and falls into the goals when Scougall's shot deflects past him for number two. Ha ha! Mug.

As good a first half performance as I've seen from us. Absolutely dominated possession and the only time we looked in bother was when we had a bit of a fluff up with a pass at the back.
With the game so comfortable at half-time, we took our foot off the gas a bit and Raith had nothing to lose by piling forward so we were always going to be under a fair bit of pressure. As someone else mentioned, losing Kyle seemed to throw our shape a bit but it was pleasing that we hung on to the clean sheet.
I hear JCAGTL is suspended for this weekend - not massively bothered though as I wouldn't change the team from Saturday. Mango was his usual dominant slef, Watson slipped in brilliantly and both McCann and Booth got up and down excellently - possibly Booth's best game for us so far.
That's two cracking wins under Burke - fingers crossed for three come Saturday night...weather dependant!

A commanding performance all over the park. Yeah there were a couple of wee slack passes but you could see how hard everyone worked for each other to get the ball back when it was lost.
Felt like it was minus 10! The sooner we move away from winter football the better!
COLTS!

Thought the highlights were good, well done the crew for that.
The news feed had a link to the Scotsman that used the term bombastic in regard to our "currently" temporary head coach.
So they consider him to be "a user of pompous words"
The articles I have seen him feature in have not carried that image of him?
Should we do a "Ferguson" in regards to the Scotsman?

Raith Rovers 0 Livingston 2: Raith pay heavy penalty for poor first-half
Raith Rovers kept up their miserable record against Livingston with a defeat that owed much to a dreadful first half display.
Rovers were fortunate to be only two goals down at half-time after being comprehensively outplayed in the opening 45 minutes by a slick Livingston outfit.
An improved second-half effort was not enough to spare Rovers from extending their winless run against the Lions, which stretches back to March 2001.

Great highlights package as usual.
What was Andy McNeil thinking about with some of those passes out from the back; hard to believe Raith didn't capitalise on at least the short pass that didn't reach BO'B
