CALDERON Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Some East Fife fans and some older Rovers fans think the Rovers East Fife Derby is actually a thing these days. I see it on par with Cowdenbeath. I've been supporting the Rovers for over 20 years and can think of one season where we played each other, and those games lost the edge after the Gray thing became boring. Never got why there is a massive hatred from East Fife to the Rovers. It's an obsession for some. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The East Fife posters really are dreadful, pretty much to a man. I'm already annoyed about the fact we'll have four match threads where 'King Kebab' will end every sentence with either several exclamation or question marks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 How could anyone possibly hate East Fife or even dislike them for that matter? An absolute nonentity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously in recent times, well the last 29 years really, East Fife have been the worst side in Fife, so our paths haven't crossed that much.They are still our Derby game. Back in the '80s and early '90s there was still a health rivalry. Just need to rekindle it. The Cowdenbeath games have always been a bit of a damp squib in comparison. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baillieinleeds Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm looking forward to the real Derby, it's just that East Fife have been irrelevant for so long. I can't wait to see this rivalry come back, hopefully for just one season. We'll certainly have to up our game. If it's true that Dick Campbell is to be the new manager then so be it. Who are we to command better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 All it'll take is for us to win the first derby next season and the big-time RR fans will care about it again, not that that will happen of course. I think the reason it hasn't really mattered or been considered a rivalry in recent times is because we've well and truly been sat upon the mantle piece and playing in the leagues below every other Fife club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz80 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think it's a great derby, not quite up there with the Dunfermline games but matters far more than Cowdenbeath games did. A proper derby. Helps that they fucking hate us too. Always a good sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
