Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Two nothing to us, Dougie Hill to get the first goal, again. The pikey to be choked disappointed at the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Good to have a derby game to finish off our pre-season preparations. Can't wait until the season starts on the 2nd August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hope to get along to this one. That arse Dougie Hill will likely score an own goal or be sent off, he just can't help himself. We'll win comfortably and and they'll say they don't care cause it's a diddy cup etc etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Have Dunfermline made much in the way of additions to their squad? Hopefully its a similar team to the one that played Cowden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Have Dunfermline made much in the way of additions to their squad? Hopefully its a similar team to the one that played Cowden. I'm sure they've added Michael Moffat from Ayr which is a decent addition but lost Danny Grainger..Anyway, I cannot wait til Christian F*cking Nade wrecks the townies. 3-1 to the mighty Raith with Nade, Elliot and Moon to get the goals with Moffat getting their goal.

Broken Algorithms Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 The Pars appear to have gone on a bit of a spree sweeping up players from their league one chums with the likes of Moffat and Buchanan among others. For ourselves, we've yet to see a full strength team feature with a lot of players suffering niggly injuries. It's hard to tell how we'll play as a result. We've still to see Cuthbert, Watson, Hill, Barr and Scott get any game time due to these, but hopefully they'll be fit in time. I'm still not too sure about the state of the Pars team at the moment, but I think we should have the quality to shine through. Christian Nade to get slagged for being fat before the game, before ragdolling the Townie defence left, right and centre while picking up a double.

Larbert_Par Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm still not overly bothered about this tournament, nor the game itself particularly, but it will be a good early barometer to see where we are in terms of Championship standard. We were comfortably beaten last season so would be nice to see if we pose more of a threat than we did then. We've made good signings who certainly ensure we will have a very strong squad for League One. Moffat, Andy Stirling and Gregor Buchanan were all named in the League One team of the year, while we've brought Scully back between the sticks and re-signed Jonathan Page at the back. So we have different options to when we played Cowden in the play-offs, especially as Ryan Wallace is back in training. Hoping for a keenly contested game and a good crowd. If we win then great, but I won't lose any sleep if we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 1-0, The Moff just after half time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Win-win for both teams really should get a bigger crowd than any other fixture in this round we could of got, win the game a bit of bragging rights, lose the game and I doubt either side will lose sleep over this cup which is a distraction until about the Semi-finals. Pars have picked up a couple of decent league one players in Moffat and Buchanan but we shoudl have enough to see them off on paper although anything can happen in a Derby. 2-0 Rovers Moon and Elliot with Hill managing to somehow get sent off while on the bench. Not bothered about this one but at least it should have a bit more of an edge than most of the ties we could of pulled out the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Looks like Rovers have changed their playing style to long balls and set pieces to a big man upfront. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafcburty Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Interesting to note the three suspensions for this match carried over from last seasons competition: Alex Whittle (DAFC) Callum Elliot (RRFC) Grant Anderson (RRFC) If the rumours about Raiths top 3 centre backs being out also is true, it could turn out to be a very intriguing game. Really looking forward to it, hoping for a good crowd to start off the season too. COYP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 At this rate we'll have our 4th and 5th choice centre backs on the pitch along with our 3rd choice goalkeeper. Can't wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 1-0 Pars. The perfect holy trinity of Falky diving, Raith player being sent off and the Moff converting the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If only Pars hadn't bottled the play-offs! Then we could have had some real games at EEP. As it is we've got to make do with a diddy cup game. The battle to retain our King of the Diddies title begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't win this, it should be looked at as a disgrace by every pars fan. That's mind games! I'm serious when I say that I will be very pleasantly surprised if we win the one. We're seriously ropey at the back and have goal machines Nade and Elliot up front. That's why I predict a fairly comfortable Pars win. I don't think you squad looks really much worse, if at all worse, that ours. You'll be looking to win the league this season, we'll be in our usual hovering above the drop position.
