I know last week was funny and that but we're fucking shite. Have been every game so far.

Were I in a place in which gambling was legal, I'd put money on our getting a red card. We're snapping at everything and Raith are skipping past us.

I'd guess it's Jacobs on the right, unless it's a back four with Fjortoft at right back. Maybe one game this season it'll actually be easy to figure out.

So how r we set up? am not watching the stream, sounds like a terrible start though

[TONofmemories 1572]

Strapp is fucking at it today.

We're somehow packing our box and getting caught out defensively at the same time.

[dunning1874 1403]

We just look like we're out of our depth against a much better team here, exactly as we did for 90 minutes against Dundee and 83 against Ayr. Leaving acres of space whenever they attack regardless of where they do it, and offering absolutely nothing on the rare occasion we have possession.

[TONofmemories 1572]

The use of the "diagonal" is fucking crap. 

[TRVMP 3856]

See that long diagonal in the 28th minute? Straight to a Raith player, then they storm down their left. It's happened approximately 600 tims already.

Definitely a back four with Fjortoft at right back. I think it's supposed to be 4-3-3, but the midfield is such a mess and being overrun so effortlessly it's hard to tell.

[TONofmemories 1572]

This "we work on it in training" is just pish. Its crap football. Boot it as hard as yi can stuff up the park and hope for the best. 

For most part ultimately leads to us losing possession.

It’s all we’ve got as well, we have no other form of attack.

[Pedrodelawasp 131]

What's Raith's camerawork like? I've popped on to the Pixelot stream and definitely prefer our manually operated set-up.

That was a rank free kick just now.

Is that white numbers with a red outline on our jerseys?

[Alibi 310]

This is appalling. Feeble. Hoofing aimlessly and can’t tackle.  No creativity.

I genuinely don't understand it, we're somehow breaking the laws of physics and geometry, we're so bunched up but there's nobody there to pass to.

Oh FUCK OFF McAlister. That's absolutely unforgivable for a guy of his experience.

[The Bewilderedbeast 214]

Jim's Attitude must be shockin .....

[TheGoon 620]

You have got to be fucking kidding me. 

[ChampTon 8]

Another red card? Fuck me. 

[GiGi 1102]

That needs to be the end of McAlister as well. He's obviously done and that came from his own terrible touch.

I'm not going to call myself a footballing genius or anything but this was readily apparent from the fifth minute onwards, and a guy with international experience like Hopkin can surely see it as well. But I bet you anything he blames the ref instead of counselling cool heads.

What has happened to our discipline.

[pink_panther 23]

dont dare criticise our discipline

[bigB 18]

This is painful 

[Chesh 134]

3 red cards in 4 league games is a disgrace

[Deego 845]

How on earth was that a red?
