It was indeed different: we won the division at the first time of asking and waltzed back up; whereas your rabble have clearly found your natural level. 

Thanks for playing anyway champ.

It’s consistent anyway. Still haven’t received an answer either of his memories from Morton’s Scottish cup win.  

Not been in the top flight since 1988. 

Not achieved anything of note since that cup final in 1922. 

The very definition of “meh” in Scottish football. 

We aren’t much better don’t get me wrong, but least most of us on here have vivid memories of our cup wins.

Back then the League cup was pretty prestigious, I think we may have qualified for Europe? I might be wrong. Can anyone confirm?

Think we went on to play 1860 Munich?

That you did, but the previous year Cowdenbeath and Livingston embarrassed you by putting 5 past you oh and those pesky lads from Hamilton managed to score 10, it’s probably still on PornHub under public humiliation were the St Mirren fans uploaded it.

With no football to look forward to over the next few weeks, keep us entertained with your stories about watching your team in the 4th tier of Scottish football. We've never had the pleasure. I bet you've got some great tales to tell.

Yet another season floundering in the seaside leagues, getting horsed by plumbers and brickies from Peterhead to Stranraer. 
What a terrible, wee shame that is for you.

I hope I'm never that board in life on a Sunday that I have to venture onto an online forum and into another teams thread for some relevance in life.

Except that you're not better or even on the same level as us champ. Raith Rovers have: 

- won no significant cup competitions in their entire history. (0:1)

- won fewer league titles (8:10)

- spent fewer seasons in the top flight (36:52)

- and spent more seasons slumming it in the seaside leagues (12:8)

Forever living in our long. cold and dark shadow. And forever gubbins. You hate to see it happen.

Bonus fun fact: as a result of yet another attempt to slither out of the seaside leagues proving to be a total failure, Raith Rovers will now officially record a grand total of three seasons playing in the top flight of Scottish football between 1970 and 2020. 

Three. Just let that sink in.

How many of these top flight appearances and glorious major cup wins were you alive to witness? I’m going to guess none.

Your.

Memories.

From.

1922?

Why the 1970s?

Why not after 1988?

Appearances:

Morton: 0

Raith Rovers: 3
