  1. Much better sense from last night how Morton draw you into their game. They are physical sure but their press and intensity on the second ball is miles ahead of any team I've seen. Noticed Imrie first to shout to the ref to stop play for Murrays head nock. He didn't stop play but Dougies heart of gold was there to be seen. Happy with the point and wouldn't fancy playing them in a play off. Top 4 pretty well defined now unless someone caves in. Thistle better get their act together with Dundee united up next!
  2. Brilliant effort all round, the hype does work with both clubs pushing how big a game it is. Can't understand anyone like some on X posting comments nitpicking on the "marketing" of the game. Also can't see where the ' won the league at Tannadice" criticism comes from. Haven't seen or heard anyone at Rovers saying it was. A lot of excitement at beating league favourites but not much more. Regardless of tomorrow's outcome we're in a position we've not seen (on and off the park) for years. Out straight from work with my 2 United workmates and can't wait. Both annoyingly good guys so they make it hard to dislike United. The gate both makes the case for there being a group of clubs with something to offer the Premiership and that the cutthroat championship brings more excitement.
  3. Guessing the origin is the club, player, staff, board rep etc. Must travel outward unless its all mischief.
  4. Most annoying bit of this is the rumours come from inside the club. They have done well to avoid this so far. Not great for motivation, allows us gossips to have a field day and probably magnifies a more tepid version of the truth.
  5. Nice editing what was that about folk who are not 1883 members shutting their mouths in your first draft? Hey ho, I like that the Fife Grenta tag is being taken head on. The boldness is something I can see other boardrooms struggling with which is great.
  6. Only flaw in your point being that I'm not a member. Like others I haven't got the spare cash. Just think it's fair folk get a bit of time to take in the detail as a wee perk before we all get the news.
  7. Not your call to make, nothing to do with feeling special. Kinda pointless the club trying to reward folk when you know best!
  8. Well done you, no point letting folk who have been rewarded by the club have a wee perk. How dare they look to repay folk who have chucked in a few quid. It's much better you choose when to break the news to the widest audience than the club.
  9. Its amazing how much Journalists get away with "told Raith TV" I clicked on the Fife today and Courier ones thinking they might have new detail. Good of the clubs volunteers to help journos fill their pages. The press must have saved a fortune in actually paying guys to report on Rovers.
  10. The club are doing a great job in raising the profile. Seems like we are the must talk to outfit just now. I might even break my Si Ferry boycott if reports are good. Others love it and fair play but not my cuppa coffee.
  11. See it both ways, never really bothers me when it leaks. A bit of a kick to the media folk when their work takes second place to an ITK guy. Seems its not a "guy told me down the pub" so maybe the club need to deal with the leak and this doesn't happen. Anyhow, delighted with Byrne staying. Hoping for some central cover still. Edited to add, never met Bill Clark but he seemed to be a good guy. Like an earlier post mentioned a minutes silence fits for this type of loss.
  12. Agree with all of what's been written on Dan, would have been happy if he stayed but an 18 month deal doesn't suit us. More concerned by the tweet that Thistle are after Byrne. Securing him is better than a new signing IMO. Hoping Mathews can push on.
  13. "Good old days" claptrap. If it worked the list D schools, kids' homes, and Borstals would have been empty back in the day. One thing kids with no role models and unlimited freedoms tend to get plenty of is firm back hand discipline. Never done me any harm tosh. The lads are falling from a high height, and now their "hard man ultras" fantasy is shown up for the charade it is. If they have guidance and choose to ignore it, they should find out pretty soon their decisions have consequences. A chance here for both clubs to reshape the derby and how their "young teams" support. Encouraging noises from both so far.
  14. Going to be a bit 2 faced here as I like his stuff. How can footy adventures be able to post the footage before the clubs? Bigger issue is why a 12.00 wait time anyway. Its not like the BBC are using footage for their highlights show.
  15. Just watched the highlights, our entire season in one piece. I dont even recall Kevs save at the start. Ross Millen not buying into the thistle player trying to provoke a reaction great too. Keepers jersey clash was weird and the ref was wildly lenient. That penalty claim for Stanton!! Should have been out of sight, should have been happy with a point. Never satisfied to go out without a bang. Magic, planning to watch it all again tomorrow, never really grasped we can do this on RTV Like others a question if there is going to be a post match can't recall one being so late. Edit- Dont want to appear critical re interview, just look forward to them. Its a great package, extra angles are the difference in quality we are now used to.
