The New Raith Rovers Thread

If you want to go down that road, technically we are in the championship because were voted out of the Premier League by a vote. -

We haven’t had an out and out goal scorer since John Baird, and he was in the twilight of his career. It’s been a massive problem for us for a few seasons now and one that I can’t see being fixed this month. I think, in the absence of a proper number 9, we need to play two up front but Murray doesn’t seem to want to. -

I just look at the whole thing as a marketing disaster. Surely if Sim wanted to sell up then he’d try and promote things a little better in the press. Complaining about funds not being allocated throughout the game, losses every year etc etc isn’t a great way to entice a buyer. Why not focus on the fact we gained promotion, won a cup, finished in the playoffs and have a fan base who regularly help the club out? -

I’d be of the opposite opinion. Brechin are a team who like to get the ball down and play. Some of the opposition might be ‘hammer throwers’ but he’s then getting the best of both worlds. His team who play football and opponents who play long. That’s a good way to develop being exposed to both. -

Raith v Partick
Jilted John replied to Heid_The_Baw's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
The first half was as good a performance as I’ve seen in many a year from us. Second half was all about game management and not picking up any injuries etc. Liam Dick looks a completely different player this season. Even Ross Millen has turned a corner in the last few games. Although he’s not the marauding wing back Tumilty was, I think his crossing is excellent. -

Apparently Vaughan played and scored in a closed door game yesterday! -

I wouldn’t call a promotion, a 3rd place finish and a cup win the work of a ‘dumplin’. I’d also argue that the squad didn’t actually need re built. It just needed a striker. -
Raith of the Rovers v Cove Rangers
Jilted John replied to Scary Bear's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Really enjoyed that today. It was an excellent performance and to cap it all off I heard a Rovers player shout ‘it’s going back to the shy-er’ at a throw in. Hadn’t heard it called a shy for years never mind shy-er’. Talk about icing on the cake! -

I’d have to agree with this. If you take Saturday’s game as a prime example of where our season has been. We lost by one goal… Conceding once in an away game to a side higher up the table isn’t a huge issue, it’s the fact that we can’t score at the other end that’s the problem. We have plenty creativity in the side, we just can’t hold the ball up or finish when the ball is in the box. -

Not according to the SFA registration process they don’t. https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/media/1842/scottish-fa-registration-procedures.pdf -

While I agree the plans look great, I can’t help but feel slightly worried that the costs involved will have to come out of club funds either directly or indirectly. If SSP is spending lots of cash on this, does it mean that less is available to be invested in the football club? Lets be honest, why on earth do we need a new 4 storey building when the main stand has changing rooms, hospitality and conference suites available that already can’t be filled. -
