Laid Back Maverick

If Murdo Fraser tweeted it was raining, I’d have to look out the window

This is why I quit the greens years ago. I support gay and trans rights, but the Rainbow Greens completely usurped the policy focus from environmental issues. The Greens were fucked as soon as they agreed the EGM. Patrick Harvie has avoided having to resign by losing a membership vote so he shouldn’t be greeting so much.

Kinda ironic that by playacting to avoid a booking he then gets booked for being vocal about his playacting.

Watched the replay, and there’s little in the contact. If I was being generous, it was maybe a nippy knock to the ankle. Less generously, he goes down too easy then double-downs on it.

I thought Easton was poor yesterday. He was trying too hard, trying to showboat, and making wrong decisions. His dive in the penalty box was embarrassing. When your own fans are shouting at you to get up, stop the nonsense. Frustratingly, he'd tried the same earlier in the half when bundled into touch, albeit not as long.

Politician's answer. Say a lot without saying anything.

Like a few others, I can't make the game but bought a ticket anyway. Seems a bit shan for Lewis having empty seats, but better than nothing.

Heard from someone at the ground that it was an Arbroath fan punched by one of the Rovers young team.

The same rapist that accrued 3 assault convictions while at United.

Have they always got that heater? Hope we’re not playing the leccy

Aye. Are you there to watch the football or just misbehave? Kinda reminds of me folk I knew that just went to football to get pissed and fight with opposition fans. Fannies.

I saw it land on the pitch, wasn't sure if it was a lighter or a vape. Chucking a smoke bomb at our players at the end? Mental. Think it was Andy McNeil that just lifted it off the park though while getting moaned at by the steward.

As long Rejects don't buy the naming rights Ya Hoor Sir Stadium

Ian Murray was a utility player rather than an out-and-out defender. I wonder if that influences his decisions on playing folk out of position. https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/football/raith-rovers-starks-park-gaffer-ian-murray-targets-bringing-in-utility-players-this-summer-4126215

Important difference The OG Kirkcaldy Cottage Hospital Charity Cup. (It's been back at the club for about 11 years now)

A cup that meant so much to Raith that it sat on my parent's mantelplace for about 20 years.

I always thought he got suspended for playing Down Down.

Thanks, Pat Clarke was the niggle at the back of my head. Edit: It was Jason that managed Cowden, Lee played for them (but not the Pars)

With Liam Buchanan returning to Cowdenbeath, it got be wondering who else has turned out for Raith, Dunfermline, Cowden, and East Fife? I know about Stevie Crawford, anyone else? (I'm sure there are loads that played for three - Jason Dair and Gareth Wardlaw come to mind)

That's a photo from 1895, three steam engines and a plough clearing snow at Altnabreac. Almost suggets we've gone backwards in our ability to cope! The resident electronic guru/trainspotter in my office tells me that the electronics on modern trains start failing below -5C so the doors freeze, heating fails etc, so ironically the old rickety trains with the handle doors, are more likely to keep running (although they're usually Baltic inside!)

Yep! Who knew that would actually use any of the Oceanography stuff I learned at uni!

Don't know if this has been posted before, but this is good website for tracking snow movement: http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ It's historical (15mins behind) but you get an idea on which direction it's moving. For anyone that's interested in weather stuff, we're due to continue experiencing La Nina conditions until Spring 2011 at least, which means wet places will be wetter and dry places will be dryer. This is combined with continued negative North Atlantic Oscillation which brings more cold air from the North. Hence the snow and cold!
