The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Fair do's, seems we can all name a centre half or two that scored the odd goal but for me they were all pretty sporadic when it came to goals, Laurie is memorable for his header at Dundee but I cant recall him scoring many more (though admittedly that might say more about me than LE though) and pretty much the same for the rest. The exception for me however is the season we had Sparky and Marv it felt like they scored a right few that season, again though that might just be me. 

 It was good in the highlights to see Nando winning those 3 or 4 headers at corners against Stenny and as neither Bene nor Davo have been great at winning headers in the opposing box let alone prolific  (I'd call anything more than getting 3 goals a season prolific!) it gives us a good option, though admittedly only if  he is improved defensively.  As yet we don't know what Muso will be like in the air (or defensively) but there is good video footage of him thumping a shot home from 30 yards, if he can manage that once or twice a season it'd be nice.

Given the need for distractions, and the virus driving us to drink, I’d like to offer a snap of one of the latest craft brews from a local brewery:

I'll just pour some 7up into my Tennents, thanks.

Having said that, last time I was in Austin they had a great beer: Pearlsnaps it was called.

So, to reiterate: We haven't had a threat at corners since Jock McStay except for Mark Campbell, Marvin Andrews, Laurie Ellis and Euan Murray

Any others?

Did Brian Graham score many headers from corners?

Regarding Nando; I don't think I've ever wanted a player to succeed more.

Imagine the celebration from the big felly if he bangs in a bullet header against the Pars!

I bumped into him when I was picking my kids up from school today. Told him I saw the highlights from the Stenny game and he did well.

Don’t disagree, but I’m a Tetley man myself...but can’t get it here and really can’t drink anyway anymore. Just have to love the name, even if the quality is iffy.

You're shitting yourself son. 

Terrified. On the plus side, if your gang does turn us over at least I won't be there to witness it.

Good luck with the corner count, Craig Brown would be awfy proud.
