Great performance all round last night, but by Christ the commentators wanted a different outcome!
If you couldn’t see the game with your own eyes but listened to those slavers you’d guess we were getting hammered.

On another note special shout out to Alan Mulvanny. Gives a clearly offside goal against the ****e next door and then disallows a clearly onside one against us. Anyone go to school with this Dee?

No but Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Louis Braille did.

I think you are being unfair to the linesman. there was a Raith player in an offside position and I thought he did influence the play. Having got pelters for not flagging the Hibs goal for off side he obviously was very keen not to make the same mistake again. He didn't, he made a different one and just for once we were the beneficiaries. Will it be the same team of officials for the game at Dens? If so, I would not expect to get many decisions in our favour.

I thought that the commentary was fulsome in its praise of the Adam contributions and the McGhee goals, hope McFadden sees now why McGhee is playing in midfield for us!

We'll have to agree to disagree, if that decision went against us (and plenty have) I'd be fuming. The other player was not in any line of sight, interrupting play or near the ball.

As for the commentary it changed once we were comfortable at 2-0. Until then they were very much from kirkcaldy.

The guy offside pulled Fontaine out of position to mark him , Fontaine would have helped mark the goal scorer instead , I know clutching at straws maybe , but as Bill Shankly said if he’s not interfering with play then he shouldn’t be on the pitch , so he was interfering with play in mines and the great late Bill Shankly opinion

That’s as maybe but not covered in the rules. That Fontaine chose to mark him is irrelevant.

The term 'interfering with play' is obsolete. It's been replaced with 'seeking to gain an advantage'.

It was clearly a good goal. A defender choosing to go out to an attacking player doesn't mean the attacker's seeking to gain any advantage - that's the defender's decision.

Some of the best refereeing decisions are the wrong ones.
