I noped the f**k out as soon as I heard that the last half hour was going to be via microphone. Thought I might’ve been hasty so popped back in, just in time to hear someone ask, “can we win the play offs?”. Straight back out.
I’ll raise you the ‘can we have a Liam Dick poster please’ question.

Murray has managed 10 Raith V Airdrie games.
6 for Airdrie and 4 for Raith.0 wins
2 draws
8 defeats all by 0-1
It’s a bit much to put his stats as Airdrie manager against us into the mix surely? Even for Ro Sham Bo

When did Vaughan actually last play on the left? Feels like he did well there in about 2018.
Im sure it was during Barry Smith’s first season. He played there and scored in a ridiculous amount of consecutive games before being injured.

I don’t think Brown is anything to do with Connolly playing badly. He wasn’t very effective when Millen was in the side too.
The one that’s interesting just now is Vaughan. We look a lot better with the 4231 and that leaves him out of the side. He’s been pretty ineffective for a while too which I never thought I’d hear myself say!

Three wins from three home game is what’s needed if we’ve any hope of pushing United for the title. So that’s one down, two to go. Keep winning and we can go above them when we play Inverness on the Friday night to put a bit of pressure on them. Have to beat Airdrie and Thistle though which won’t be easy.
Airdrie certainly won’t be easy. I hope he plays the same formation as he did today with three in the middle. The wind stopped us seeing that work as well as it could but it’ll stop Airdrie passing through the middle of us.

Thoughts on James Brown?Would you have him for next season if available?
Think he’s been a 7/10 most weeks.We do miss Millen going forward but Brown has helped make the defence more solid since he came in.
He put in a cracking cross in the 2nd half today as well.
He’s been a good loan signing for me.
I think he’s poor. I wasn’t a big fan of Millen but he’s a downgrade on him too. He is however all we have so we just need to get on with it.

Never knew that. That is madness
3 x 14 Clubs would be a good format. Just can't understand why ? this was VOTED down 
I don’t think many fans would disagree with that, or at least a variation of more teams in fewer leagues.

explain this mate? how did you get voted out of the premier League ?
Back in the 90’s when we were in the Premier League, the powers that be wanted league reconstruction which reduced the number of teams in the top flight meaning an extra team got relegated… guess who that team turned out to be? Also, even more strangely, it was us that had the casting vote which ultimately relegated us. Our chairman at the time believed it was for the greater good of Scottish football to vote for it!

To be Fair, Falkirk didn't get promoted due to the CORRUPT VOTE
Well we got relegated from the premier league due to a vote and then promoted to the championship on a vote so I guess that evens it out doesn’t it?

I put his post match comments down to him being annoyed and disappointed at the result. I’d like to think once he went home and watched the game back, he’d realise we were miles off it.
Even the penalty that was given, although it wasn’t exactly a stonewaller, his reaction was a bit over the top.

Do people actually think players not having a pre season these days makes any difference? It’s not like the olden days where they would come back having put a stone of weight on. Most players at our level will be in shape all year round.

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.

If I recall correctly, there was barely 1500 at Gordon Dalziel's testimonial and that was at the end of a season where we scooshed the league and he was player of the year.
That was against St Johnstone, midweek during the season as well wasn’t it? I’m sure Colin Harris was a guest player that night and scored in a 1-0 win?

Fully get that, but this is literally our most loved player in the last 30 years. If he can’t get 2000 Rovers fans to turn out we’d be as well never giving anyone a testimonial ever again.
More than Colin Cameron, Gordon Dalziel and other members of the Coca Cola Cup and European sides? Steady on a bit.

I’m going to play devils advocate here and say that there’s not been enough done by our social media team to get anyone excited for this. Who’s playing? Have we got any ‘legends’ coming back to play?
The timing is also silly. Should have been in pre season rather than during the run in.
£15 is also over priced for seeing our fringe players play a non contact, walking football style for fear of injury against a Hibs youth team.
Lewis deserves better from the club on this one.

Will be really weird seeing a potential centre back pairing of Ian Murray and Dylan Corr this week. I can actually see Murray and Potter getting more game time than Corr.

No need to be nasty just pointing out you will never have a better chance
You say ‘you’ll never have a better chance’… Dundee won the league last year with 63pts and Killie the season before with 68. I’d say those seasons were a better chance?

I think we will get to the playoff final and in the second leg Ashcroft will be on the bench, having not been completely forgotten about. He will come on for Watson with ten to go and head in the winner.

I am looking forward to the game(s) against Las Palmas (and possibly Tenerife). Its a rare opportunity to watch our side play top level (La Liga) European sides away from home, in the sunshine. I had the opportunity when I went to the Faroes and Germany (missed Akranes away as it came along to quick). Now its my kids/grandkids turn. Not the UEFA cup of course, but as close as we will ever likely get again!
Much more glamourous than Hibs any day. I will still be there for that game of course.
I don’t disagree with any of the points you made, I just think don’t think we gain anything from it, other than an expensive jolly for the club. It’ll almost certainly be at the expense of a better crowd/game for a club legend that’s all.

We should have played this game in pre season to honour a player of his quality rather than keeping dates aside for a potentially pointless trip to Las Palmas. What exactly will the club gain from it? A few shirt sales? It’ll cost us thousands!

I feel a bit sorry for Vaughan and the timing of his testimonial. Assuming it’s the current team that are going to be playing and not a mix of former team mates, I’d imagine it’ll end up like a walking football match as no one will want hurt ahead of the Dundee Utd match. This should really have been pencilled in as one of the pre season matches where it could at least have been competitive.

The guy involved posts regularly on here and is one of the reasoned and insightful posters.
Well he must not be posting on this thread then… unless he’s from Texas that is?
What was the story with Stark’s Bark, did they not get the bullet for writing something similar or am I getting my wires crossed with the above?

Just watched the highlights back. Didn’t realise at the time how much of an impact Hamilton made when he came on. Won so many flick ons, including one leading up to the second goal. Hopefully he’s done enough to earn a start on Tuesday

If that’s in reference to the Liam Dick comment I made, it was very much tongue in cheek from me. I know it came from Mr Meldrum, the chairman of the LD Supporters Club. I was having a sly dig at him rather than a genuine moan.
