I'm not sure you could genuinely get a majority of rovers fans who would fully agree on what our strongest 11 is. I could come up with a different answer in the space of 10 minutes for that.
I'd rather just win games, than have an identity tbh.
How's this for positivity, we're finishing second in a league we finished 7th in last season. Anything more than that is an unexpected bonus.
I agree fans are all going to have a different opinion on our best 11 but the manager doesn't seem to have a clue what his best 11 is. That for me is a worry.
Successful teams who win the majority of games usually have a playing style/ identity.
I said everyone pre season would have seen 2nd as a huge positive but the way the season has petered out has been very disappointing. We are two ties away from Premier league it really should be treated as a great opportunity to get promoted not oh well if we win it's an unexpected bonus but it's hard to be optimistic given the current run we are on.

While everyone would have been happy if you told us we would finish 2nd at the start of the season I can see why the manager and team are on the receiving end of some criticism. For a manager to be 33 games into a season and still have no clue what his best starting 11 is insane. I could probably more accurately predict the starting 11 of any other team in the league rather than the team I watch most weeks.
2 years of Murray now and I still have no idea how he sends out his team to play. We have no identity at all, some times we boot it long, sometimes we try and knock it about a bit. Sometimes we press the opposition other times we don't.
Would be nice if we could win the next few games and at least go into the playoffs with some momentum and positivity.

You’re both pitiful fair weather fans if you feel belittling players when the team does poorly is the answer to your frustrations.
f**k right off with that nonsense. Supported the team all my days through Anelka, Goodwillie and all the other shite. I called Tammy Abraham dog shite, same with Fredrickson or any of Anelka's dross. The next time we sign a player who looks like he hasn't played football in his life I'll call him dog shite too. Certainly doesn't make me any less of a fan than some guy who watches streams from Texas.

Disagree vehemently. JBrown is a much better defender. Our defensive problems are in the middle with inconsistency, confusion and SBrown. Now, JBrown isn’t IM’s preferred attacking FB, but he’s certainly what we needed with the Millen Affair.
J Brown is dog shit. No danger is he a better defender than Millen.

3 subs made and Vaughan still on the bench what the actual f**k.

tbf your admin has made you look like right mugs
Lol no some people like you and the clown I quoted just take social media posts far to seriously. We have had a good season and the admin winding up the like yourself and that townie cretin made it all the more enjoyable. Was fun while it lasted.

Slipping into the league end!
Gies a cartoon, go on, goes it!
Seeing your own teams playoff hopes disappear but you are absolutely loving it because a team who you allegedly don't even hate is getting beat. What a life eh?

Why is Brown (the Scott variety) anywhere near the backline when Murray, (the Euan variety) is fit enough to get a place on the bench? He should have been on at the start. It could have been changed later if required.
Aye it's a ridiculous decision again by the manager. Murray had been in terrific form until he took that head knock in Dundee. If he is fit he should have been one of the first names on the team sheet.

Utter shite. We look miles off it.

Not playing a proper defensive midfielder definitely hindered us but it was our inability to cope with high balls into the box that cost us the game today, not the CM situation.
Disagree the long high ball tactic was so effective because we had no one in front of defence winning the second balls.

Piss poor team selection today madness not to play Byrne imo. As easy a win for United as they'll have all season. Think the league is gone now but hopefully we can keep the pressure on and at least take it to the final game.

Did Raith Rovers sell over half of their allocation today?
Hope the toilets in the away end at gayfield survive your gangs visit today.

Thought I'd try my luck at phoning up and buying a ticket for United end. Was told anyone who hasn't bought a ticket in last two years couldn't buy one. When I tried my excuse of having worked abroad for the last two years the woman said "Sorry we can't. The police have told us to put this game on lockdown"
wtf.
I wonder how many genuine neutrals or lapsed United fans have been denied tickets. Anyone know if you can buy tickets from stadium without providing registered email address?

Pathetic this from United. No doubt that when they do get back to the Premier league they will sell the Jim McClean, Jerry Kerr and Carling Stand to old firm fans, maybe even Aberdeen and Dundee fans too.
Seems to me like they are still upset about our social media showing video of their keeper falling over.

maybe not so much him right enough, but you do with Ferry, Kyle, Mcfadgen and all the guest they have on. You should give it a listen.
Try and be a bit more tolerant and less of a snob
If you find Simon Ferry insightful I genuinely worry for you. Unfortunately I work with a boy who insists we listen to open goal every week in work van driving between jobs. Kyle is even worse than Ferry and you surely see enough of McFadden elsewhere to get any insight he has.

I doubt either side will win the league with more than a game to spare, if that.
The average points required over the period since we went to 3 point for a win is 74, which would then require 17 out of 21 to be "higher than most seasons", isn't going to happen. If I had to guess, 4 wins, 2 draws and a loss (14 points) would probably win this league, as the final few games will feature plenty of desperate sides. failing that, it'll be one of us going 5-1-1.
Don't take my posts so seriously. We definitely won't win the league with games to spare. Was just making point about how bad United were on Friday, while we played ok yesterday.
I honestly can't see United only winning 4 out of 7 though. They aren't going to line up like they did on Friday again. I reckon with our inferior goal difference we will need to win 6 games including the one in Dundee to take the title.

We were due to play Airdrie next weekend, but they're playing in the Challenge Cup final.
Cheers forgot about that.

Would have much preferred if we had moved our midweek game until next weekend like United. Anyone any idea why we haven't?

No need to be nasty just pointing out you will never have a better chance
Both our teams play like we have this weekend for the rest of the season and we will win the league with games to spare.
As for it being our best chance to win the league for a decade. That is just absolute nonsense. Points tally required to win this year is going to be higher than most seasons. Not often you get a team in champ with your budget either. If you beat us to title and only Livi come down we'll be favourites next year and I'm confident our board will further improve the squad.
United on the other hand will be bang in trouble and will be meltdowns galore if you don't win the league.

Been poor so far but defending well again. Hopefully sneak another 1-0

Heard he was holding out for the mighty Rovers.
Well some of your fans seem to believe we are being bankrolled by some sort of drug cartel so you never know. Maybe we'll take the boy yous call KRH as a back up for Mullen and bring in Matty Todd to clean Sam Stanton's boots.
