parsforlife Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I think that was the reserve league cup. Sure he did it giving away a penalty, which was the last kick of the game.(meaning a long wait for one kick of the ball) you had use all your subs so went down to 10 men anyway but the rumour was the ref was told off for not showing him a red as he was stretchered off. Think that was 2009-2010 but played early 2010-2011. May be wrong. Edit: http://www.dafc.co.uk/articles/20100831/raith-rovers-reserves-3-dunfermline-reserves-5_2207955_2134746 appears the only thing I got wrong was you guys hadn't used all your subs. Still would have been pointless sending him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 We were expelled before. We'd get allowed back in, that always happens when we get kicked out of cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Easiest thing would be to let us decide who gets the trophy but not play in it. The other four teams all play each other and if any team puts in a really great performance - one good enough to beat the inevitable third-rate side we'd put out - we award them the cup. Otherwise we keep it. Far less hassle and far less chance of losing to Shipyard again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Having a look at our fixtures suggests there are very few dates available to get games played, and most of those are over Xmas and early new year not exactly reliable times for getting games on. And that's not taking into account a cup run (either first team or u20s) or postponed games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 December-January aside... looking at the U20 League you have 1 free midweek (Wed 25th March). And possibly Scottish Cup dates if you and Raith both exit. It shows why these local cups always fare much better when most games get played during preseason, on autumn midweeks, or international breaks.

It shows why these local cups always fare much better when most games get played during preseason, on autumn midweeks, or international breaks. League games are scheduled for Scottish cup dates from now on. Agree we should be playing preseason tho, but playing 3 "competitive" pre-season games isn't really desirable. International breaks are difficult as often league games scheduled for them a well, and if not challenge cup games. Autumn midweeks are pretty busy for u20s too. So overall your struggling whenever, but pre-season is best.Edit: we also have a midweek gap between the end of the u20 league and end of the league season. If we were to have played in autumn then we had 2 free midweeks for the u20s, one midweek where the 1st team were playing rovers in the challenge cup.

HibeeJibee Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Even if the clubs didn't want to play any ties pre-season, as you partially allude to there were still various opportunities including: * everyone had MW of Wed 31st July free (then U20 league started) * everyone bar Dunfermline had MWs of Wed 7th & 14th August free * Cowdenbeath & East Fife had MW of Wed 21st August free (then Reserve league started following midweek) * everyone bar Raith had Sat 7th September free And there have been odd midweeks where certain clubs haven't had U20 or Reserve league games. Lack of discipline in using available opportunities clearly contributes. But playing the odd tie pre-season would undoubtedly help. It should also be said that the situation in Fife has not been quite as disastrous as that in Forfarshire. They only finished the 2011-12 tournament in September of this season... 2012-13 undrawn... 2013-14 unstarted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree you certainly have better chance of getting games on if you start in the summer. This seasons could well have been Pre-season. Prelim (possibly played by 1st teams) MW of we'd 31st July Semis (likely played by youth/reserves) Final played by mutual agreement. Must be attempted at 1st opportunity.
