Ro Sham Bo Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 54 minutes ago, Buckfast said: According to the Daily record we have 7 out for Saturday, Docherty, Boyle, Adams and Moore are out. Crawford, Geggan and someone else are doubtful. So only 4 supposedly definitely out then.... I would bet that the 3 doubtful all play along with probably 1 or 2 of the players 'out'.

Broken Algorithms Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Looking forward to Saturday night when Ayr inevitably pull a win despite having half their squad decapitated, and their fans posting about how proud they are of their team for their win against the odds. Falkirk and Cowdenbeath are the worst teams for this, but I guess Ayr can fill the void for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll milk it a bit but then use the fact that we had so many injuries as to why we didn't win the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Just had conformation from the club that Ayr fans will be in the McDermaid stand behind the goals and that if (and you are all very welcome ) wanting to stop in for a drink in the Raith Suite before the game (12:30-3pm last orders around 2:40) you can buy a ticket at the Main office (located at the corner of the main stand) and simply show this to get into the main stand where the bar is. You can then leave the stand whenever you like and head to the away end. Hope to see a good few of you on Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Berk Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 It makes a change that its not Rovers who have half a team out at the start of a season, usally with long term injuries.This is teh first season in years we can pick from our full squad, except our goalie.

renton Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Raith manager and star player win monthly awards for being fucking excellent + major injury crisis at Ayr. Cannae see past a 3-0 Ayr victory now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I thought it would probably take until Christmas to overtake Ayr, but they seem to have bottled it earlier than usual.Callachan is a big loss for us. He brought energy and drive to our midfield. Hopefully the new signings and Matthews can continue the good work in midfield.If Geggan is fit he'll be a danger. Who else plays for Ayr? I see Harkins the monkey man left for Morton. Who are their forwards this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

callum-ayr Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Think it's interesting to note that neither Waite nor Faulds were involved for the 20s last night. I'd have a change of formation for Saturday. Either: Hart Waite Reid Higgins Ferguson Rose Crawford Geggan McDaid McGuffie Moffat Or: Hart Reid Rose Higgins Waite Faulds Crawford Geggan Ferguson Moffat McDaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Not sure what to expect here, both teams won't want to lose the game as these meetings between Rovers and Ayr should go a long way to deciding the league. Will Ayr sit in an play for a point or will they roll the dice and try and sucker punch us in our own back yard. This will undoubtedly be our biggest test of the season so far and is a pressure game for both teams. We look good up front with Vaughan, Spence, Buchanan and Barr chipping in goals while the back seems weaker although they've done well so far. Losing our captain was a blow but allowed us to bring in two players. First goal in this one could be crucial as Ayr will undoubtedly be harder to break down than any of the others we faced in the league. Going to go 2-1 Rovers with Vaughan and Buchanan for the Rovers and Moffat for Ayr. We need to be winning our home games if we want to win the league. 3 points here would give us a nice cushion against Ayr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 1 hour ago, P.C said: We stopped falling for that after we pulled off that result at Aberdeen.. Definitely in my top two away days ever. Rangers at Easter Road was grand, but we'd not pulled off a major cup upset in years before that game, and we had a defence consisting of a 33 year old, a flu ridden Craig Wilson, a centre midfielder and a left winger. Despite that we still won. Walker ripping Ifil to lay it off to Tade was hilarious. As was seeing one of their fans who'd been ripping the piss out of our fans when Smith hit the post, punt the seat in front of her which then smashed in half.
