Even I wid.

The play off at easter road we were down most of the match, the fans hardly pulled the players over the line, the away stand was hardly bouncing. The team did the job, the idea the fans made the difference is laughable. To anyone with any degree of intelligence or not at the wind up (could be either or both from the hibs fan!) to turn fans away from big games that won't sellout, while teams spend all season trying to attract more fans is a crazy move. I was going with a couple of mates, one not a falkirk fan but wanting to go as a neutral, one a season ticket holder so we would be sitting apart at the game. The game is a social as well as sporting event so it'll be getting watched in the pub now instead of at the game .

Releasing the contracted players would be unthinkable if it didn't tie in so fucking perfectly with every other decision made by Raith Rovers Football Club this season.

Hang on... All players released? Need to build a whole new squad? Part time?

Some good news at last. Saying all the players are free to leave however is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Mathews Vaughan and Callachan are worth good young players worth money and we should be building next year's team around them

Heard that Barr fractured his tongue shouting at Vaughan and will be out for 8 months.

Well, this is awkward. You absolute cretin.

As much as Hibs fans love to boaby sook Celtic please can you refrain from following Falkirk round like a puppy wi your big sad eyes. Celtic may like it but we aren't into it.

We now live in an age where adults, actual full grown adults, post loads of selfies of themselves with a dog nose and ears filter applied over it. It's not even ironic, 'look how stupid I'm being wink, wink.' It's adults with the actual intellectual capacity of 7 year olds.

Not sure if this deserves its own thread, probably not. I just witnessed a fine bit of Karma. A bar I visit occasionally has a one metre hot-dog challenge. It's been running for approx 6 months and they have one "face" on the photo board. Today, a rather plump, loud, belligerent arsehile decided he would take the challenge. I've never seen this attempted before, so was intrigued when the metre board was brought out, with the hot-dog split into sections, some parts had salad in them, other parts had chilli & cheese & nachos. Overall, it was a massive undertaking. One that our fat arsehole friend thought he was up to....to the point that he had all his mates & wife chanting "Carl! Carl!" With his fat face devouring the "dog", time limit is 20mins, he got down to three small sections around the 17 minute mark, at which point his wife got right in his face to shout encouragement. The karma part is, at that point, fatso puked all over his missus. Scenes ensued from me & my mate who had been looking on in bewilderment throughout.

Every year i think surely this is it, ageing side and am unimpressed by the signings, time for the slide, happy to be proved completely and utterly wrong. Just amazing saints have done it again. Certainly would agree with Stuart Cosgrove on OTB that Danny Swanson has shown himself to be a complete professional and i wish him well at hibs next year.

I for one am glad to see the back of the moaning faced c**t.

It would be incredibly rude to give it to anybody else after the magnificent job we did last year.

Bump. It is a belated farewell to one of the thread's most regular set of participants - the gormless Raith Rovers' fanbase - after their team got relegated to the seaside leagues by an Angus bumpkin outfit in their own, horrible midden. Here's some of the gems that we are going to miss when they're going to Methil and Stranraer next season:

One on the left is pissed that she hasn't been taken to the Bakers she was hoping for.

Thick as f**k it is. I've encountered a fair amount of utter, utter morons on this site but you are without a shadow of a doubt the biggest moron of them all.

What I most enjoy about P&B Eurovision is that it's the one night a year where all gay members will be in the same thread...

Just bumping this because it's undoubtedly one of the highlights of the season. "A person close to the transaction"

I we release all of the under contracted players I'm going to support whoever Lewis Vaughan signs for.

Isle of Barra golf course, the greens are fenced off to keep the sheep out.

Somebody put that jakey, dribbling mess Chick Young to sleep.

Sensational news as the official Twitter feed is first to reveal Alex Schalk has re-signed for next season. Absolutely marvellous news.

Limmy's fake WhatsApp chats have been outstanding. The replies from gullible Americans and suchlike have been even better, though.

Thank you Yoko

It'll all come out in the wash.

I think the Belgium singer was a kidnap victim trying to send a coded message for help to the public without making it too obvious to her captors.

I've never heard this Titanium song so I just listened to it on Spotify. It's a total rip off of the German song.

Here's Titanium!

What I would say is that Ian Davidson is a fucking c**t

Dindeleux every time there's slagging banter going on in a thread.

Bumping quotes from 2014. Fucking hell. Possibly the most tragic thing I've ever seen on here. Well done Edited to add that we got exactly what we deserved. This horrific Rovers team squeaking through would have been a travesty

Its real shame for Vaughan that hes been put in this position but says a lot about him that hes taken it so badly. I hope he has a relegation clause in his contract. There wont be a shortage of clubs interested in him and maybe a move away from Raith would be best for him too. At the risk of sounding patronising I feel sorry for the Raith fans. Its been an utterly mental season and I wouldnt wish Locke or Hughes on my worst enemy, never mind both in one season. Hopefully this will kick start some change at the club and you'll bounce back

Dredging up posts from 2014! You seriously need a bird.

Take a fucking guess.

Appointed Locke. Let Vaughan go on loan to a team 4 points behind us. Doesn't know the League's rules despite being on the board. Let Bates to to Rangers for nothing and blamed it on the fans not backing the development side. Not a great year for him, was it? But, no, it'll be the fans' fault. And Gary Locke talked a good game. And Gary Locke didn't like Vaughan. And couldn't stand in his way, eh?

Get yer crowdwanks to f**k. It's all about Wiley now.

It's "We are the Steeple" ya Fifer bellend. Personal favourite is "and you'll never take my Falkirk away" We supporters saved our club from administration unlike some other dead *** entity.

I'm not entirely convinced the long ball tactic was necessarily a planned strategy by Naysmith. Certainly far less so than it was under Skelton who signed tall wingers specifically for that role. We often tried to play it out from the back, but none of our defenders are especially confident on the ball and would panic and hoof it long. Higgins, Brownlie and Marshall were all particularly guilty of this. Dowie less so, but he would just play a square pass to one of the aforementioned who would then launch it. Our best run of form coincided with the combination of Hamill and Anderson down the right hand side who seemed to build up a good understanding, and largely got the balance right between, overlapping/covering each other etc. Confident full-backs are key to playing out from the back. Marshall isn't the most confident on the ball and has never had a consistent left-midfielder with which to build up an understanding with. It is key we address this in the summer. We also suffer from a lack of a "Mark Kerr" type of player who is happy to drop off and take the ball from the centre-backs. Jacobs was usually the deepest midfielder, but his passing is terrible and he can't really take men on so he is another who panics then launches it. Rankin is the closest we have, but he has been guilty of some sloppy passing, and I can think of several occasions where he's got the ball caught in his feet trying to take men on, and then given it away. Naysmith has shown a liking for an "old fashioned big man/wee man, 4-4-facking-2" system but it remains to be seen if that is his lineup of choice, or a case of going back to basics and seeing the season out. It's possible to play that system without constantly punting it up the park, so it's not as if the players' hands are tied. They need to take some responsibility themselves. Treating the ball like a hot potato is the lazy and easy option as you pass the responsibility onto someone else. The worst of it is, in Stephen Dobbie we have a player with sublime close control. Rather than launching it high the minute you feel under pressure, a more preferable option is launch it low in his general direction because nine times out of ten he will control it. Maybe not quite that much, but more often than he'll win a header. Hopefully with a fresh start, and no imminent threat of relegation the players will have more confidence and try and express themselves a bit more (I hate that phrase but I can't think of a better one to use). I think most fans would prefer to see a player try something that doesn't come off than just pass the buck and choose the easy option all the time. I certainly would anyway.

The 'look at me' persona sounds familiar.

What a grumpy c**t.

That's all the scores in (except Irvine Buddie and of course ... Eckthearab ... think I'll have to remove him from the league table next week ) In the Premiership, there's a new dog in town (is that a phrase? If not, it should be)... Congrats to MSU who scoops gold, and a smaller but still significant amount of congratulations to Alang1993 who clinches second. Dee_62 and Livi Lion are for the drop with Kincardine in the play-offs. Meanwhile, plenty of drama to be found in the SWL. AFJ has romped it with Peasy23 in 2nd with points to spare. Three teams, including my own, vying for the play-off question. But the fickle nature of Quiz Difference has decreed that Eednud finishes 3rd. Equally as thrilling at the bottom of the table ... Swarley returns to the BHL. There are 5 (cinq) teams on 26 points, but our old friend QD has decided that Madwullie is relegated and Welshbairn is in the play-offs. And in the BHL, Jagfox has romped it - mainly thanks to his perfect 10 at the start of the week. Leeds Saint has scooped second ... and doth mine eyes deceive me ... is that Bully Wee Villa in the play-offs?!?!?!?!? (It is .. again thanks to QD) So the play-offs! As much as I enjoy the "How much time between 2 major events" type questions, I'm not sure I can handle the opprobrium I received for getting the right answer wrong, so the play-off question for @The_Kincardine vs @Eednud and @welshbairn vs @Bully Wee Villa is.... The last bare-knuckle world heavyweight championship boxing match was between John Sullivan and Jake Kilrain in 1889. In which round did Kilrain lose (by virtue of his trainer "throwing in the sponge") ? ... answers on a postcard by Sunday evening please. Btw, was doing a bit of research into the Beazer Homes League... these days it's called the Evo-Stik League Southern and is sponsored by the adhesives company Bostik. The world is truly an amazing place.

My wee boy has taken to calling Babybels "cheesy bells" I laugh every time

At least twice. And that has feck all to do with it. Don't get me wrong if I felt that du were going to sell out the rest of the ground I'd have no.complaints about us getting 1500 and it being all ticket. However, there is really no need to make a game all ticket when your going to be lucky if it's much more than half full. Why make it as difficult as possible for fans to watch their team.

Yes, that attitude of yours pretty much explains the whole problem. And yet we hear about Celtic whinging about a couple of hundred possible tickets less than Aberdeen and it's all over the media. Fans are what makes this game what it is. If we ALL don't start to recognise that ,especially for teams outside the bigot brothers, attendances will only diminish further.

It's really not that close at all. Who really cares what they do with that stand anyway? Totally irrelevant to Rovers.

You could show a film on the girl on the left.

My absolute favourite photo in the world.

My second daughter was born this morning at 11:05. After she burst her waters at half 7, I'd say that's not too bad. Baby was 7lb 10oz and fair play to her Mum for getting her out with just Gas and air.
