First off I'd like to apologise for the early starting of this topic, I've no doubt a few of you will moan, but I doubt I'll get another chance to do it, and I quite fancied setting the ball rolling.

Quite looking forward to the game now, and hopefully we can carry the same sort of performance we showed today into next week. If we can, we'll win!

Unfortunately, I don't think that'll happen. Ayr have built a very good side this season, and I'd be fairly happy with a draw at this moment in time. Hopefully not though, and I'll be there to cheer on the boys.

Mon the Rovers!

Close this - we have a game tomorrow!

My apologies!

But it's not getting closed.

We only post one game at a time.

Close it!!!

Maybe time will have imploded by then. Maybe The Fife Gr£tna will be out of business. Maybe someone from Stranraer will have learned to read and write properly.

Whatever happens, it's a loooooong time away..........

We might have civilised Fifers by next week...although going by today it won't be any of the Rangers "loyal" Fife fans. Anyway, i never like to make something out of nothing but i honestly think that the winner of the title will be decided next week in this game.

I'm apprehensive about this game. I dont see us strolling it like last season at Somerset.

I'd be happy with a point right now

fantastic may your next shite be a hedgehog

difficult opening game for us tho the omens are good... sure i heard quinny said it was his round next week, if so ayr should just give us the 3 points just out of pure shock

Just don't tempt fate, we've still a challenge cup game to play!

It's a very good point. The losers of this game might as well not try for the rest of the season. They won't get the title but they'll stroll into and through the playoffs.

Indeed. A small consolation though for the losers. I personally can't wait to see this league decider.

and todays winner of the worst fishing trip goes to

Sounds to me like the balance of power in European football will be decided at Somerset Park next weekend.

Ayr just lost 2-1 to East Stirling in the challenge cup............

Indeed. The most important event since the creation of the universe shall occur when Alex Williams faces Mark Campbell.

Did David Dunn score?

Williams scored in the 15th minutes for Ayr (he went off so might be injured?) Richardson equalized for East Stirling in the 86th minute & the winner was scored by Rodgers in the 89th minute.........

Very tough game for both teams. I know it has nothing to do with me but f*ck it ! i'm predicting a raith victory.

1-3

Will Monster be writing and performing a lament to mark the occasion?

God I hope not!!!

David Dunn has continued where he left off at Ayr and remains the worse player at his club.
We had sooo many chances today and fluffed most of them. Williams was one of three players injured by the plastic pitch. If he is out for any length of time we may not score for a long time based on todays finishing.

East Stirlingshire's first was a 25 yard thunderbolt in off the bar. They had maybe 3 shots on target the whole game.

You don't get a bigger kick up the arse than losing to the shire so hopefully we will bounce back next week.

I predict a draw however

That's the worst thing that could have happened for us, Ayr will get a right boot up the arse this week and will be more than up for it next week now.

at Ayr all the same.

I'm not really sure how we'll do at all, could go either way! If Walker doesn't recover from his injury in time, we're in big trouble though. He's the dominant midfield player we've been needing, and is calm in possession as well. I'll hold off any predictions until I hear the situation with him - same goes for Williams, who is a major, major player for Ayr.

Ayr will win, simple as

at us!!

We were shite today, especially after Williams went off.

We'll get beat.

I'm not that fussed, i just want to play us a competitive game!!

If Williams doesn't make it next week then i'm very confident that we will win, however, if he does, then we wont.

It really is as cut & dried as that when you support Rovers.

In other news, 761 at the cup game today? That's quite impressive actually

It's quite funny, because the Ayr Elvis (Monster) is always going on about how we only have 700 fans.

I suppose Shire are the Falkirk Gretna now.

Or, we just filled their ground for them


ANYWAYS...to the task at hand. Personally, i just hope for an entertaining match played out in front of a decent crowd (many Rovers fans heading to the game?). A 2-2 would do nicely, just so long as we don't get beaten really.

I hope we do well, Ayr will be right up for this tho. I really can't wait, plus it'll be my first trip to Somerset.

Hopefully we won't continue our horrendous home form of the last 6 years.

If we do 2-0 Raith.

Should be a decent crowd for this one as well and Ayr fans know what happens as soon as we get a decent crowd in....2-0 Raith.

I would suspect the usual couple of hundred if your lucky

Nah, first game, we'll probably take something in the region of 900 - 1000

Down to Ayr? 500 tops, and hope for a big home crowd for the QP game if all goes well at Somerset.

I'd take a draw.

I agree, this game will electric from start to finish. McGlynn has brought in Kevin Smith to cover for Hissy and he'll chip in a fair amount of goals, i've alway's rated him although a wee bit baw greedy. But if he scores goals i don't think we'd be complaining.

Your obsession is flattering, thanks.

Although it may surprise you, not everything is about The Fife Gr£tna.

I reckon 400/500. I'll be there though .

Interesting start to the season this, but I'm afrid I'll miss it.

1-1

I'll be coming to this game, as a neutral of course. Is the train station anywhere near the ground? I'm trying to get some grounds this season that i've never been to.

It's a few minutes walk, but the quickest route takes you past The Horseshoe Bar which is a superb pre-match watering hole.

Hopefully a win for us. Ayr is another stadium I can tick off the list. Looking forward to this... any points for us would do me fine.

Anyone on here play for KaisAyr?

Your better asking that question on

www.honestpage.co.uk

Meh, not that fussed. Just wondered if anyone on here played for them, my team playing them on Saturday morning.

500! for an away game with Ayr? Is it going to be a sunny day with free buses?

I'll save my cash for the real big match live...Albion Rovers away.

We only had 200-300 down, when a win would have sealed the 1st division title in '93.

I might be going to this

Which means we will get beat 2-0.
