I ended up playing against Craig O’Reilly in a Sunday league in Edinburgh about 7/8 years ago. He was a fucking cock. 

He said you couldn't tackle a fish supper.

Went back and watched a few of the videos again. It is a bit sad actually looking at the South Stand in them and seeing quite visibly the loss in support from them until now. 

Yeah. I remember dead rubbers after we got relegated getting 1200 odd gates. Even a league cup tie on 9/11 got over 1k.

‪Five games into the 04/05 season, Claude Anelka’s Raith side were still looking for their first win following a 2-1 defeat by Ross County.‬



After trailing at half time, Falkirk blew Rovers away with four second half goals from Darryl Duffy and Andy Thomson.



‪After picking up only 1 point from 8 games, angry Raith Rovers fans gathered outside Stark’s Park to demand the removal of manager Claude Anelka.‬

Wasn't that final Ayr game the one that the Raith chairman Mr Gray allegedly bet that we'd lose?

Yeah. I think we played a team almost entirely made up of fringe and youth players. 

Yeah we played the youth team. Lloyd Young was about the closest to a senior player, as I remember.

We were safe, the mostly Spanish players that Calderon had brought in had already been told they weren't being kept, and weren't keen to play and risk injury. A bunch of them came over and joined us on the terracing instead.
