If they introduced rules around how long an artificial surface remained without being updated and how you look after it, it would make far more sense. The pitch at starks park plays better than the majority of grass pitches in the country and has done for years. To outright ban an artificial surface because livi is the known with it is just daft tbh. Throughout the country these pitches are building bonds with the local community in a time where councils can't. It's a big attraction for clubs trying to grow and survive. It's going to be self preservation as always though and it doesn't really matter what the end result is for Scottish football with that in mind. Moronic fans who see the pitch on a tv screen scream loudest.

As long as they keep showing the same levels of defiance I'm sure they will be fine. -

Queen’s Park v Raith Rovers
grumswall replied to FitbaSupporter's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Tremendous save from ferrie from stantons overhead kick after making another good save moments before. Ball just wouldn't break in the box for us at times and other times the wrong pass was played. I think that's still a good point though because queen's are a good side. Taking easton off instead of connolly was confusing at the time and for connolly to then need subbed off a few minutes later because he's fucked proved that. Kev only really had one save to make today and as always he pushed it wide even though he's falling in to the middle of the goal, a good save. Matthews at rb was very good considering he's played there maybe twice before. Needed to push stanton on earlier than we did Imo but it does look like it's a move Murray wants to use late on at the moment. Draws probably a fair result overall but again, ferrie with a couple of excellent saves stops us going top today. -

Rudden does a power of work, I'd imagine he will be off for Hamilton at some stage. We've not really got a grip of the ball in midfield today with qp doubling up well when we do get the ball in there. Can't see there being many goals in it (if any) after the first half. -

He's harmless though. He's like dunfermline when we play them this season. Something to be pitied. -

Walking Down The Halbeath Road
grumswall replied to Parscelona's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I'm not even sure it's the overall squad that's the issue. The tactics are woeful. Pass the ball side to side before a fairly aimless punt in to the box. We've had your number this season because Murray recognised this and set us up to let you do it, knowing we had the quality to go and get a goal on the counter. It's not dissimilar to how we struggled with mcglynn when teams figured his tactics out. Hosler didn't look great against us but I seen him against Arbroath? Where he got injured again and up until that point he did look a good player. Why he's been played at rwb, same as ohalloran is beyond me. You've got the players to be doing better but injuries on top of the poor tactics are not helping you one bit. -

Yeah my bad. I was too lazy to check it beforehand and was just doing a rough guess at it. -
Queen’s Park v Raith Rovers
grumswall replied to FitbaSupporter's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I think every game for us now is in must win category if we want to win the league. We need to be in a position to take advantage of any potential slip ups from utd. Even if we don't go on to win the league a win here officially secures second spot. We've been called lucky all season because of the manner of our wins and until Saturday hadn't won a league game by more than 1 goal, but we're verging on 30 games played (almost) so there's only so long you can actually accuse us of being lucky. Qp have vastly improved since Davidson came in so much like every other game against them this season, it won't be easy but we do have a team capable of going and getting the 3 points. I'll take a dogged performance and 3 points over playing nice football at this stage of the season. -
🔴🟡Thistle vs Raith Rovers🔵⚪️ - Tuesday 12th March

Not been massively impressed with turner since he signed. He was decent at Arbroath. Is this the first game we've actually let him take a fk or corner though? Baffling if so. -

Rovers 🔵 ⚪️ v Pars ⚫️ ⚪️- 9th March
grumswall replied to Scary Bear's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I'm not blaming the club for what happens outside the stadium. That's entirely on the police. The club does unfortunately have to take some responsibility for what happens within the stadium though. The police within the stadium did the square root of f**k all as well from what I seen. Lots of pointing and that was about it. The stewards when the first one was thrown and hit a guy (narrowly missing his kid) where telling everyone to leave it alone to burn out. Kids where coming down from the top of the stand and wiping the residue on their hands then faces from it, ignoring the stewards who just stopped trying after the first few did it. The attitude seems to be along the lines of kids will be kids, how can we do anything about it. What happens when someone actually gets seriously injured because of it? That's my worry with it all. -

grumswall replied to Scary Bear's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
The police know where both groups of fans are largely coming from both pre and post match. I said earlier that their presence stopped it kicking off after the game and I did see them walking a group of fans towards the train station where they had a van sitting when I passed in the car. It's poor policing on both occasions though as it's easy to know pars fans where meeting in occonells pre match, where they could then It was pars fans who where stood waiting outside the estuary after the game, with ours walking along, bricks etc in hand. Which again is easily dealt with if policed correctly. I actually had to say to a couple who must stay down that way to hang back so they didn't get caught up in it just before the police did show up. -

Agree but I think the club could do better with that. They tried the railway stand but it was never going to work being at the opposite end of the stadium. I think having a dedicated section for them will help police them better, it's something dunfermline have done very well with the section north West group. Our problem with that is that the perfect place to put them is just not available. Christina is a fairly well known fan. She had her jacket burned by pyro at east end. Pyro hitting a guy in the back who had literally just sat down with his kid before ko even happened yesterday. Moving them to the front of the stand doesn't work. I witnessed something being thrown by one of them at Walton at Tannadice while I was amongst them. They clearly aren't policing themselves. Someone is going to end up with an injury with it all and I genuinely don't think they are actually adding an atmosphere anymore. -

grumswall replied to Scary Bear's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Yeah iv seen them given and seen them not given. Todd going down early on probably didn't help his case there with napier. I didn't think stanton was touched at the time either so was surprised it was a pen but again, I was more worried with him being injured. -

Yeah I'm all for them coming to the game and creating an atmosphere (not that I think they've really been doing that for a while now) but they seem more interested in all the daft stuff at this stage. A designated singing section might help that but at the same time, the stewards know where they are as it is, because as you say, they are all cramming in to that one area.
