Now for the REAL truth.


Pastor Andrews butted Gilfillan hence his collapse and then head butted Howat as well. (Howat was taken to hospital for a brain scan.)

The good Christian thought the Howat incident was very funny and this incensed the Cowden fans as well as the Cowden dug-out.

Something everyone on hear seems to have seen, but no-one actually noticed during the game....

I certainly saw no headbutt on any Cowdenbeath player, and for these Cowden fans 'going mental', I think you imagined that. The only time there was any major shouting was after the referee's inexplicable decision not to book Davidson for his karate kick.

Incidentally, I thought Davo was hilarious, although I suppose unprofessional. The keeper had a wee swing at him with his head, nothing major but if in the Premiership or something would no doubt have resulted in a red card. Handbags at dawn really.

As Steven has said, as well as countless Raith players before him, Cowdenbeath as a club really do lack class in the way they approach many incidents. I'm not placing all the blame on them for this incident, but seriously, for a manager to assault someone? It's ridiculous and sums up the way the club act, especially at home matches.

Oh, and I can now know for a fact that Cowden players retreated into the dressing room, locked the door and shouted childish insults from behind the safety of it. The only part of my earlier post that is definitley true.

I have no idea what Hill done to Garry Wood, but Davidson is by no means a jessie. I'm sure half of Kirkcaldy High School knew that 10 years ago

Borris is fucking mental. Just ask the sons fans about his discipline last year...

Quite disapointed with Davidson's conduct towards the Cowden keeper, No doubt that had a bearing on the alleged "incident" later. I'm glad the keeper didn't rise to it though.

bit harsh in the second half davo chased a ball and it went into the keepers arms and davo nudged into the keeper and the keeper went to headbutt davo but missed as davo jogged past hence all the verbals for the rest of the game

Happily Welshy gave him his tatties in the tunnel and the preacher man ran and told his mates. The rest was handbags at dawn with the usual suspects on both sides doing plenty o pointless posturing but no action. One brave Raith warrior waited until a door was safely locked then ran up and kicked it

Both teams later enjoyed tea and scones (In the pastor's case Tattie scones)

Ahh, always the voice of reason, eh.

Seriously hope something is done about Welsh because, as previously said, a manager assaulting an opposition player is about as low as it goes.

Lets face it, if there was a real fight between between Welsh and Marv, therw ould only be one winner. And it wouldn't be the fat one.

Did they find one?

I can see why Cowden fans are upset in fairness, there players went down 3times with head knocks after Marv goes through the back....but everytime he wins the ball.
Doubt Marvin would ever intentionally hurt anyone considering he is actually one of the most down to earth players around.
If Welshy has struck him he deserves to be and should be punished in the strongest possible form, violence of any kind is wrong and doesn't deserve to go unpunished.
As for Davo, his "Tackle" on the cowden player was reckless and was lucky he got away with it so leniently. His treatment towards Greeting faced Hay wasn't that bad IMO, yes maybe it was unprofessional, but Hay over-reacted to a shoulder nudge and Davo just tried to get him wound u more.

Presumably the Gilfillan incident was the one where he got treatment, then got up and collapsed again before requiring further treatment? I'm pretty certain that it wasn't Andrews involved in that incident. I think from memory it was either Walker or Goodwillie who was involved as I remember noticing a Rovers player holding his head while Gilfillan was being treated.
I vaguley remember a Cowden player going down in the 2nd half but I can't remember seeing anything unusual, although it was at the opposite end of the pitch. If it's true it's unlike Marv but it's guaranteed that the sparks will be flying at the next derby anyway!!

[pub car king]

this was my first game of the season and for me raith deserved their victory both strikers played well as did the number 3. rovers played well without setting the pitch alight and i just felt they could have turned it up if they needed too where as cowden huffed and puffed and chased balls down but it didn't get them very far. as for the various incidents don't know why the cowden goal was ruled, out the raith goal should have stood it was never hand ball and the pictures prove it, the incident with the cowden player getting a knock and then needing treatment twice really didn't look much at the time and personally didn't think it was malicious as for iain davidson it was funny the goalkeeper trying to nut him but he seems to get involved far to often. all in all your average local derby

It looks bad but players get injured all the time in games so your either ignorant or looking for an argument if you really think that marv [who travelled halfway round scotland to visit a bairn in hospital] would go out to deliberately injure anyone.

Marvin would never mean to injure anybody when he attacks tha ball both eyes are on the ball then if he goes for the ball and the other player is tight to him he'll go through them. Theres nothing wrong with that
