Rovers1992/1993 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Should be a decent atmosphere here. How many fans will United bring to Starks? 1500? 2000? I'm probably in the minority here that think we'll actually get a result next weekend. I've said all week that we'll lose to St Mirren but we'll beat either Dundee United or Hibs within the next fortnight. There's more chance of it next week than there is at Easter Road IMO. Bobby Barr will be back in the starting line-up next week which will be a massive boost to our attacking set-up. Roberts and Matthews would lose their place next week ideally for Bene and Barr but it'll probably be Johnstone and Roberts to lose their place. Looking forward to seeing Toshney at RB up against Barr. 1-0 Rovers with Jordan Thompson getting the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashirearab Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 There will be dancing in the streets of Raith if that happens. 2-0 to United just to save your Dad Dancers any embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancing in the streets of Earth? I'm assuming that's a typo unlike the original faux pas. I'm hoping VdS and the ginger ninja are back for this, if Murray is still out we should bring in Tommy McKay. Otherwise the team is pretty much picking itself at the moment. Not been down to Stark's Park for a while. There should be a statue of Turnbull Hutton outside the place.

Ro Sham Bo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 United will probably win this by about 3 goals. We'll do well to even manage 3 attempts on goal during the 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I think from what McKinnon was saying post-match (and what Murray had said before the game) that he will be out for a few weeks. Sadly I am missing this one, I would have loved to have gone (this time of year if United are playing away I'm very much on husband duties which next weekend involves shopping for gifts). With Hibs away to Morton later in the day it would be great to set a marker for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I may be getting overexcited but I think 1500 would definitely be at the lower end. How many does the away end hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many does the away end hold? 3500 and if needed you can get the away section of the railway stand which hols just under 500 extra I'm sure. Doubt you'll need the railway stand though, only Hearts and Rangers have needed that stand.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'm thinking around the 2500 mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire the optimism you have in our strike force but short of McKinnon giving us a head start where are our goals coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sense that our outstanding recent defensive record surely has to end at some point, might as well be against a San Starko cauldroned against Ray. Attack the flanks is my advice, anything long is cigar time for The Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr mince Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 At the moment all we've got is a long ball to McManus who will inevitability miss or a long ball to Stewart who is currently attempting to set a record for number of offsides in a season. I look forward to eating those words but the last few games have been torture. It's like the team that gave you a game at the start of the season have suddenly decided all those complicated things like tactics or teamwork aren't essential to football.

Aye, the difference when he appeared was night and day, hoping the limp he had after he went down wasn't anything serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffelz Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Another clean sheet for big Willie and Durnan. We'll probably shitfest this again which is music to my ears. 10:38 train is going to be a fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Really looking forward to this. Should be a great atmosphere. I've always liked trips to Starks Park. If we play like we did at Ayr, we won't win. But this is a great opportunity to put a bit more pressure on Hibs given they don't kick off until 5:15. 1-0 us, as always.
