Donstar83 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Any more with regards to the game being moved from their tattie field of a pitch? Link to comment
Ke1t Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 We'll fuck them. Just stick a few sheep in the front row of the South Stand, and their players will spend more time looking at them than watching the game. Only problem is that might also be true for our players. Slutty whore sheep. 1 Link to comment

Celtic - 34.00 SevCo - 31.25 Qarabag - 21.00 To put in perspective though, Rijeka - 15.00, Apollonius Limassol - 14.00, Maribor 14.00, Aberdeen - 9.00 Link to comment

TynesideDon Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 These are a decent side and by far the best we'll have come up against so far. Not expecting much but as long as we are still in the tie for the 2nd leg, ie a 2 goal deficit at the very worst, I won't be too disappointed. Link to comment

Folk getting conned by a half decent 45 minutes every 6 months. Can play a pass but just can't get around the pitch any more. I’ve got this theory about McGeouch, which is admittedly based on tv viewing and has little proper evidence to back up. he makes himself look good, but those around him look shite. He’s clearly really comfortable in possession, goes looking for the ball, and rarely gives it away cheaply. but to get on the ball he drops so deep the press is no where near him. He has all the time in the world, and he uses it to take way too many touches before passing it sideways to a centre half. All of which gifts the opposition as long as they want to close everyone else down. It just made life that bit harder for McGinn, ojo and McLennan. with brown in there everything just happens that bit faster and that bit higher up the park. Link to comment
bonzodaddy73 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 They are currently 69th (nice) and we are 151st so ranking certainly suggests they are way better. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Think they were group stage regulars recently but they must be poorer if in Conference League now. Link to comment

What number of ranking does Raith Rovers sit at? My point being that ranking number means nothing if you prepare properly and play to your strengths. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Amazing how one bad game out of 6 or so can change everyones perspective. The biggest thing that yesterdays performance showed me was that a) making massive changes doesn't work, you're losing cohesion of a side that's starting to gel b) we don't have enough depth, striker wise, attacking midfield wise. we're lacking. and c) Our fringe players just aren't good enough. A lot of them flatter to deceive. McLennan, good 45 last week, pish yesterday. JET - good few spells, pish otherwise.. Jenks - good goal last week, shite this week. Gurr - just shite. We seem to have a system that works but it requires specific players, and the lack of depth means we're really unable to utilise that same system with the fuckwits we've got on the bench. I'm more concerned than I was before yesterdays game, but let's not forget that we rested a heap of starting 11 players. Link to comment

They used to play there, but based now at Azersun arena, which is nae eess for Euro games. Infrastructure nae up to scratch or something. So now play at Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium (tattie field) instead. Used to be stadium for Azerbaijan national team as well, until they built the Olympic Stadium. Link to comment

Yeah their ranking appears to be based heavily on form from years ago. Last year they got knocked out by molde. Link to comment
