Some Raith fans genuinely thought that they could win this league before this game too. [emoji23] #roaringback

I would think that Airdrie are now out of the play off race so it’s any 3 of 4 with Montrose just about hanging in there. Obviously win a few of the games in hand and that should secure our spot. The Raith thread is great, they genuinely thought that they could still win the league. [emoji23]

Aye?

Caught a beaut of a sunset here in Auckland this evening. Trying to get Munro to stay still is a bit of a challenge though.

Certainly has the attributes to be given the opportunity at a higher level as he has been a stand out this season. A bit like Ross Stewart, a big unit but actually a baller. Thankfully he is signed up for next season so we can receive a fee for him if another club comes in for him. We said the same about Nathan Austin too, didn’t really work out for him at Falkirk but doing ok at ICT, very different type of player to Dowds though.

Ah well, it wasn’t to be but everyone gave their all tonight. Thought that we started the game far too cautiously and gave Ross County too much time to control the game with Dowds very isolated. Much better second half once we came out a bit and got support to Dowds who has put some shift in. He is already a cult hero, never gives up and if he continues the way that he is I’m sure he will have bigger clubs sniffing about him... Just not for a few seasons yet. We created a few chances but wasn’t to be. Some quality saves from Long too, who has been the best keeper at Bayview for a long time. We now have a lot of games in quick succession so we will need to use the whole squad and make sure we get ourselves into the top 4.

Dowds 🥰

It’s been coming. Let’s have a go now nothing to lose.

Mullin is having a field day, we are lacking creativity in midfield, need to sacrifice one of the holding midfielders for Smith or Currie.

We are sitting way too deep now and without Agnew there is no real support for Dowds.

What is with us and our inability to defend corners.

Pretty strong team from us. Mon the Fife!

I see that we are down to 8/1 now. Alarm set for kick off. What’s Gaelic for ‘A hat trick for Dowds’?

Good player. A front pairing of Dowds and Insall. Never seen the likes since Deuchar and Fairbairn.

Jan/Feb is a good time to come over here. It’s bloody roasting, it has been mid 20’s for weeks now and no sign of letting up. 3 weeks will get you to the main tourist spots. It feels like I spend that long most mornings trying to get over the Auckland Harbour Bridge. In terms of the South Island, Queenstown is beautiful so to as nearby Wanaka, we did a kayak trip on Lake Wanaka. Milford Sound is worth the trip too, even featured in the last Mission Impossible movie. It’s a bit of a drive (like most places in NZ) but worth it. I haven’t been any further south so don’t know too much about Invercargill and Dunedin but there is a lot of Scottish heritage there. Wasn’t a fan of Christchurch, it’s still a massive building site post earthquake. Nelson, is probably my favourite place in NZ. Trying to get the mrs to move there from Auckland but she isn’t keen. It depends on what you’re interests are but a trip to the Abel Tasman is a must and walking some part of the track is worth it. As has been said, you can do Auckland over a couple of days, but a wine trip to Waiheke Island is good fun. My parents are coming to visit me again at the end of the year, I swear that they are only coming back to do the wine again. If you need any Auckland based info, feel free to drop me a message.
