FURY IS LOUD & CLEAR

Rovers staying silent on Goodwillie storm but raging fans chant “sack the board” in stalemate

-

Furious Raith fans called for the board to be sacked but the club refused to offer any comment as the David Goodwillie saga rolled on.

Arguably the worst week in Raith’s history didn’t get much better after a dreary draw with Hamilton.

And several attempts by the mmedia to get manager John McGlynn to talk were reburebuff­ed as vice- chairman SteveSteve­n McDonald confirmed no cocomment would be made from anyone at the club. Loud Lo shouts of “sack the board” boar came from the home fans after the final whistle but in amongst all the con controvers­y a football match ma did take place. Accies A dominated and came ca agonisingl­y close to an a opener on 21 minutes when w Kai Kennedy cut inside in two players before unleashing un a f ine shot wh which was superbly saved by JJamie MacDonald.

The Th veteran keeper was quickly quic called upon again when he saved from Jamie

Neil Cameron Hamilton and then recovered to keep out David Mayo’s shot on the rebound.

All Raith could offer in an attacking sense came before hal f- t ime when Aidan Connolly had a shot blocked by the legs of keeper Joe Hilton after fine work from the tricky Ethan Ross.

Hami lton should have taken the lead on 65 minutes when Mihai Popescu headed a corner over but they had to settle for a point.

Accies assistant John Rankin, standing in for isolating boss Stuart Taylor, said: “Considerin­g the conditions I actually thought it was a good game.

“I am delighted with the clean sheet. You can see how many goals Raith have scored this season and we have done well from front to back. We are obviously disappoint­ed we never took our chances but we did create them. It’s just a case of at some point we are going to need to score.”
