Clan 2 : 1 Flyers (League) 06/12

[mrough]

Worst bit is Jones is worst goalie in the league! Lack of quality shots, sorry correct that lack of shots huge part of downfall.

Everyone on here is deluding themselves if they think we can go to the shopping centre and bang a barrel load of goals against a tough clan team!

That was a decent-ish road performance from Flyers in which we were a bounce off a crossbar or a bad call away from a point.

I must be aff ma heid for thinking that or maybe just realistic.

We are not going to go away from home and control a game with refereeing performances like that either!

They are a better team than us,better players, somehow a bigger budget supposedly, And just have better players with more ambitious owners end off.

Sounds like Dutes thinking of changing things
Now is the time to do it or we will be on the outside looking in again

No they aren't a better team than us, there is actually not a lot between us and Clan at all considering that they are meant to be a big budget team.

As others have said that was a very good road game by Flyers and we had a plan that everybody stuck to. That type of game isn't Flyers hockey though, it's not the high intensity, fast paced, cycling game we like to see in Kirkcaldy but you have to adapt and have different game plans and I thought we carried out ours really well and were unlucky not to get something out of that as I too thought we had some excellent scoring chances

We didn't get caught running around in our own end, Clan haven't got the speed to do that, or put under long periods of intense pressure and once again easily coped with their powerplay

Thanks for the updates stirling. Great stuff as always. Some interesting comments here.

Top of the league and 11 points ahead of us, better team. We could be there tho if the owners and coaches were interested.

The usual culprits again let the team down last night.

If only they put in half the effort Scott Fleming puts in every game then we would be laughing.

I actually agree we need that 12th import but sometimes these threads make me shake my head.

We lost by a whisker AWAY to one of the best teams in the league and you'd think we were in crisis and that we have a divine right to be winning these games. Come on folks eh?!

Think how Clan fans must have felt after their last 2 visits to FIA.

If we had a 12th import power forward for the third line, how many of these 1 goal losses would have been victories. Maybe this is what Todd is talking about, could be a season changer if true.

We are also now 3rd bottom of the table and in all likliehood out of a playoff place after tonight's games, when some your top players are not performing the lack of numbers makes things worse. We are basically playing a form of 2 line hockey, it's amazing that the lack of one quality player stops us icing a full line

[millar]

I want to take this a little off topic, but still to do with lastnights game.
Im never one to complain or moan about out support, im vocal at games as is everyones else but lastnight took the biscuit for me. The lack of respect for other fans around our section was pretty shocking by mainly 1 constant abuser who just couldnt sit and watch the game! If you feel the need to sit for 3 periods and spout your pi$h towards clan fans, the refs and linos then be fair and spout it to our own players who you seem to think the sun shawn out their erses and can do no wrong on the ice.
Also if you REALLY feel the need to scream everything you "say" then have a heart and think about the people around you. You were aware of what you were doing, you even mocked about it reading a text so next time lower the tone or supply us with ear plugs ?

Need to watch them again but why were we called for a penalty for Clans 2nd goal when they should have had an interference call just before that?
