It is a technique that can be especially effective for a team with either fast or tall strikers. The long ball technique is also a through pass from distance in an effort to get the ball by the defensive line and create a foot race between striker and defender.[1] While often derided as either boring or primitive,[2] it can prove effective where players or weather conditions suit this style; in particular, it is an effective counter-attacking style of play in which some defenders can be caught off-guard. - Wikipedia

What's the weather forecast like for the coming week down Fife way? I think I'll be leaving the train booking until the last minute for this one, just in case.
As for the game, I would imagine we'll be back to a more familiar team, other than the weakened one we fielded yesterday. But will Gardyne play ? Personaly given the state of the pitches of late I think we'd be better off playing Morrow anyway.
Both teams need to go for the win I would say, so hopefully will be an entertaining game

Raith will be difficult to beat, but we should have the quality to take all 3 points. Hopefully Gardyne and Lawson are on better terms with the management before Saturday!

Shocking idea.
It could actually work. Sounds like Corcoran had a great 90 minutes v St Mirren.
Use all the subs please Del.
Prediction County to ultimately win 2 - 1 in a tough encounter.

I wouldn't say that. He made the 2nd penalty with an excellent run, but spent most of the first half on his arse.

Thought he was a bit hot and cold, seemed to end up slide-tackling himself a lot, and made some poor decisions (shooting instead of playing it across goal). But worked hard, never hid and did have some good moments. I have a real soft spot for him and think if he got more games he'd jump on and we'd see more of the good stuff.

Just looking at the forecast, and it's due to be pretty cold Wednesday to Saturday in Kirkcaldy.

We have a decent set of covers and ground staff, unlike Hamilton, we don't f**k about.

It could be much ado about nothing, but there is plenty of hearsay and conjecture regarding why neither played yesterday. After the game Lawson also posted a cryptic tweet along the lines of 'Oh well that's my decision made'
I'm sure the straw-clutching Dundee fans will be creaming their pants at the prospect of dissent in the County camp.

What did Lawson actually say? Heard a couple rumours but was on his page and didnt see anything...

I still don't really understand how Twitter works, I somehow must have gained special County player stalking privileges

Aye, I'm not on it myself. I just hear the gossip, google 'twitter' and the players name, then take a deek. So no stalking privileges for me
Got some cracking pics of George Adams in the shower though.

AT least 4 going towards Edinburgh before half time, HTH
On a serious note I really dont know how to take this game,
will we be rested and fresh after the lay off or will we be jayded and rusty without match practice,
one thing for sure is County is not the team I would hand pick to play after a week off.
Is Counties cup replay this week? If so then I will be hoping for the full extra time and penalties (with County progressing obviously)
so that maybe their players will be not so fresh on Saturday.

Watch out for the County fans. I heard they are prone to biting people.
Rovers forward line will click in this march and we'll score three. We'll definetly concede though, so hopefully three is enough for a win.
Life is good.
