Renton, it came from a number of people I have spoken to today am not sure about the authenticity but posted it just in case there was a bit of truth in it.
Was one of the people Zico?4 -
I’m starting to get annoyed by the common ground we seem to be finding with Dunfermline fans on this thread!
Much prefer the council patter we got in the seaside leagues from the East Fife fans!1 -
I've laughed three or four times today just thinking about this post.
Well and truly clamped.
Same here. Still don’t think the boy realises that!0 -
That’s the last of the highlights by the way folks, I’ll stop spamming the thread every night now! I’ve really enjoyed doing them and hopefully some of you have enjoyed watching them as well [emoji1360]
Dan, thank you very much. I loved every clip!1 -
Think we watched different games
I’m with the other guy. I thought he looked cumbersome in pre season and certainly not someone you could trust week in, week out. That’s even more relevant now that we will likely be in the championship.1 -
Hamilton match - conceding goals from direct free kicks isn't just unique to the last few years for us then.
St Johnstone match - noted the proper thuggery by the St Johnstone right back there. I doubt he ever amounted to anything...
Would never entertain a player like that at Raith!1 -
I hope you’re right Scottydog but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be a fair bit longer than that. My understanding is that they asked for all the tv contracts, communications etc regarding the vote etc and pencilled in Wednesday to start sifting through the details. If they need to call witnesses and such like, it could become fairly drawn out.

Josh Meekings released by Dundee would anyone take him here?
Definitely... we are going to be in the market for a decent centre half! Especially given that Bene is out of contract and Davo surely doesn’t have a championship season left in him. Not as a consistent first choice anyway.0 -
Had your partners in victimhood Hearts and Stranraer accepted the streets ahead principle and took their relegations - the rest of their leagues having been streets ahead of their utter dung outfits all season - then you'd perhaps have a point here. But they didn't, so you don't.
You cannot legitimately argue that it's completely unjust and unfair to relegate teams when they still had enough points on the table to stay up, while at the same time denying Inverness, Edinburgh City etc. a claim to the title and promotion despite being in the exact same position. And if you want to just hand out free promotions like sweeties instead then you'd have to promote fully half of League One, rather than the nonsense 'just let Falkirk in as well' nonsense argument, which was rightly filed in the bin.
I don’t completely disagree with your point however, if it’s unfair to punish teams who ‘finished’ bottom by relegating them, surely it’s also unfair not to promote teams who ‘finished’ top.
81% of teams in the country voted in favour of the proposal, yet it’s ourselves, United and Cove that are being portrayed as some sort of pariah.0 -
2) We did choose to pay our players in full. It seems that this was fine previously, but coupled with the court action might be putting us under strain now.
We didn’t pay the players in full. They only got their furlough payments.0 -
Surely that's obvious?
Theyve looked doomed all season and have almost no complaints about being relegated, while Partick have legitimate complaints with only being 2pts off 9th.
People seem to misunderstanding Budge, again. Shes not fighting to overturn relegations, shes simply fighting to overturn Hearts relegation. If she gets an option to save Hearts but relegate Partick/Stranraer then she would accept it without blinking. Stranraer are of no use to her here so are left to the wolves.
That’s only partly true. Stranraer aren’t involved as they don’t have the cash to take legal action. Partick weren’t going to be included either until one of their fans offered financial support. It was initially going to be Hearts in their own.0 -
It wouldn’t be inconceivable for 4,000 Utd fans, 2,000 Raith fans and 1,000 Cove fans to all chip a tenner in. That would raise 70k and almost half the top end forecasted cost.
I don’t think it’s as bad as some people seem to think it is.0 -
I’m going to suggest a wild premonition here, and I’m happy for you all to quote me on this if I get it wrong...
I’m going to put it out there that there’s no way we will go bust as a result of this. I think the article is complete sensationalism and that the paper in question has ‘assumed’ we will be struggling financially.
Like I said, I’m happy to be proven wrong in the weeks/months ahead.0 -
You’re comparing apples and oranges. This isn’t a throwaway ‘joke’ made in everyday conversation. It’s a thought out comment, saying that all women have no place in working within the senior management of football clubs. Do you not understand how backwards and outdated that is?
Also, if you’re hanging about with folk who are making female driver jokes, I’d advise you get some pals without tragic patter.
It’s hardly apples and oranges, both are examples of chauvinist comments. I also notice you didn’t answer the question.0 -
It’s just completely outdated and deserves to be called out. Nae place in society for attitudes like that. Standing by whilst folk say stuff like that is wrong.
So if in your everyday life, someone made a throwaway joke about a women driver, would you tell them it’s a disgrace rather than just shrugging it off? I’m interested to know whether you are genuinely offended by things like that or if you just do it for likes online.

Stevo and Hank, do you guys really get wound up by comments about women in football to the point you’re asking for an apology etc? Surely you just scroll past stuff like that?

I think the very best that they can hope for is a bit of compensation.

John and Smudger agree a two year extension! Brilliant news!

Being serious for a moment but I have no idea what happened to McGlynn in that run in, he'd obviously won the title with Rovers a couple of seasons before so it wasn't like he wasn't experienced in such things, IIRC the Rovers form was imperious in the last 10 games when they won the old 2nd division. I mean the Raith side didn't have allot of width that year but they'd never played that narrow against us. I'm sure Iain Williamson played out on the right when we got beat twice at starks while Scott McBride? Played against us at EEP and got McGregor sent off.
I suppose a narrow, hard working midfield wasn't that different to what McGlynn normally put out, but the real head scratcher was McNeil. Just really odd.
We shat the bed that day, no doubt about it. Andy McNeil was shaking like a leaf whenever anything came his way, the formation and team selection was bizarre and it didn’t pay off. We punched well above our weight all season and fell short when it mattered. I knew when we drew with Cowdenbeath and you lot beat Ross County with a late goal that we had blown it.0 -
Aye but was Walker not quite good that season? He seemed to tail off pretty dramatically but I'm sure he was very dece that season.
He was good but he was a centre mid. We played that game against you with 4 central midfielders [emoji31]0 -
And Walker at right mid!

Ho ho ho, talking again about the Pars on the Rovers thread?
#obsessed
Yet here you are...2 -
That Falkirk game was the match where JP Javary (I think) dragged Owusu off the ground in a rage when he was rolling about injured late in the game.
Yeah it was. Remember it well!0 -
Didier Agathe... what a find that was! Was listening to the Open Goal podcast the other week and they described him as the best right back in Europe in his day!
