Levenmouth Rover Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 It is truly sad that this 4-1 rubbish is their best they can come up with. They can probably count on one hand how many of their fans saw even the most recent one of their cup triumphs. Come on rovers two more for literally thirty years of hurt. .

In terms of home fixtures for East Fife, it’s 30 years tomorrow since they last beat us. They won 2-1 on January 2nd 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIT THE CHANNEL Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Is Zannata still available? If so I think the same team will start. Another huge game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he signed until the end of the season when he first came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levenmouth Rover Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Scary. Sure we beat them at old Bayview on that date. 13 seconds to go and dalziel scores to give us a 2-1 victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, for some reason I had it in my head it was only until January. I personally think he has been far better over the last few games - quite hopeful that will continue and he will be a solid asset for the remainder of the season.

San Starko Rover Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Well we have every right to feel confident at the moment, we are certainly grinding out the results so far and fortune has smiled on us with regards to Ayr the last two weeks. However a local derby always levels the playing field and East Fife will really want the monkey off their back against us. I’m going to say 1-3 but I’d take a scrappy one goal win right now. Hope it’s s good crowd sadly I’ll have to listen on the radio. Any idea how many tickets left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levenmouth Rover Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I’m sure Angus Fifer or Liam will correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t the last fife victory over the Rovers in Methil in the cup tie in January 1983. A Robin Thomson wind assisted goal at the Aberhill school end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRFC2711 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 yeh came after the 7-1 tanking when they were well into the game when the centre half got sent off....i remember the parachutists that game as well. (7-1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Bit nervy about this. We won three times away from home in the league in 2017. Think a bit of the confidence comes because one of those wins just so happens to have been our last away match. Will Buchanan play? Smith has stated in the past he struggles with three games in a week. With Barr out at the weekend we have just eleven ‘first team’ players fit, two of whom are goalkeepers. I thought we played well enough on Saturday but Stranraer were beyond dismal. Doubt we’ll see the same from a fired up East Fife. Any win will do but despite their poor form I think this is the big chance for East Fife to finally beat us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Think east fife will be up for this, they have been pretty inconsistent, which makes this unpredictable.They played ok at starks park and maybe could have had something from that game. An improved performance and it could be a very tough afternoon.They also gave ayr a fright a few weeks back, not as confident going into this one as the 1st bit we have picked up recently and are on a good run of form and i think the 1st goal will be crucial.

Last time they beat us at their place was 29th August 1987 when they beat us 2-1. So already 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History aside, Methil has a population of around 11,000, Kirkcaldy 50,000 give or take the odd beggar. East Fife average attendance 700, Raith Rovers 1750. Given both teams are in the same division would it be prudent to question whether part time East Fife are punching above their weight or that a full time Raith Rovers are just utter dross? Go figure.
