The New Raith Rovers Thread

[Brashy's Boots]

I was unavoidably late getting to the ground on Tuesday night and missed my timeslot, arriving in the middle of the next one. Got in no bother at all, not even a glance, then today I've got an email saying the club hopes I enjoy the game on Saturday (Friday), then in bold telling me to arrive within my allocated timeslot.

Are they reviewing arrivals after the event to comply with something or is it a standard reminder?

In honour of Iain Davidson's  testimonial, what are everyone's favourite Davo suspensions.

I have to admit to being a huge fan of him contriving to get sent off after the final whistle in a 2-1 win at Arbroath back in 2009.

Runner up is probably 2 years ago when he booted the Airdrie boy 5 yards in the air for no apparent reason.

Away to Albion Rovers in a cup game midweek for me.

I hope he's sent off in his testimonial just so the fans can see it one last time.

Just buy it and stick in a webcam.

Would adversely impact RaithTV revenues.

I mind him getting sent off, that the game that went to pens, right? What was that for again?

[renton]

Superb shitposting from Rossco.

You are just being paranoid, and don’t worry about the Gas Board van down the street, it certainly isn’t a Police Scotland surveillance van.

I’m sure it was a second yellow, possibly for throwing the ball away? We’d missed a penalty earlier in the game and then won on pens after ET. I mind him telling the whole away end to f**k off whilst flicking the bird repeatedly.

Without a doubt, it's the straight red he got for booting the ball into the face of Robert Snodgrass, who'd just taken a dive and was lying on the turf.

That's right, I mind his reaction. Vague memories of the penalties: Sparky stepping up and putting it in the top corner, Silvestro (ex Wee Rovers player) skied his?

The obviously awe inspiring comeback at Airdrie sparked by Davo’s Daftness.

Excellent interview with Davo on the club website

[Michael W]

Booting the ball into Robert Snodgrass' face wins it for me. I cheered that like a goal. 

[CALDERON]

Great interview.  I've been harsh to him over the years but really hammers home that he's been a great servant to the club.

This is the one that springs to mind first for me. Punched the boy on the heid. 

Pretty sure that we were in the midst of the run that would see us beat Ayr to the title and I was beelin at him as he was leaving us short. 

Will echo what others have said about the interview with him. Brilliant.

What attendance were you expecting?

I'm talking if the amount allowed in the stand not the crowd.

I’m sure 99% of us have done the same, it’s inevitable with a player like Davo who has the odd rush of blood to the head but he’s definitely been a great servant to the club and a good player for us and fully deserves his testimonial it’s just a shame it’s limited by Covid-19 but there’s not much we can do about that one. Really enjoyed the interview it’s an incredible achievement how many games he’s played for us and I’m glad he said he’s never had any over the top grief from fans over the years.  Amazing he goes as far back as Anelka seems too long ago for him to still be playing. Hopefully he enjoys his testimonial it’d been a crime if he left without the chance to say goodbye to at least a limited crowd after that many appearances.
