Starks Park has its faults, but when the South Stand is busy and the Rovers are shooting the right way, you can still get some noise.

Fans were superb yesterday.  

The scenes after the 3rd goal were fantastic. Probably the best since we put the Pars out of the Cup a few years ago.

It's a bit like a smaller hampden in that respect, when the game is shit the atmosphere is flat, it's a proper tumbleweed experience die to the stands being so spaced out. 

However when it's rocking it's fucking brilliant

 

Not unlike any other ground then.

From an "easier" draw point of view, falkirk or Darvel, but for an away day, hearts. Knowing our luck we'll get killie or ICT away. Or celtic away.

Celtic away isn’t too bad at least it’s a good payday for the club. Nightmare is ICT shit payday and we always lose to them.

Horrible place to watch a game from an away fan's point of view, especially with that fucking pillar.

Starks is particularly bad for it due to the massive gap between north and south stands. 

Well where would you like them to put the pitch, oot in the car park? view would be well shite then.

As for the extra money to tie up contracts, IM intimated in his interview that we could only afford Isma if we got through yesterday, bloody lucky we did then. I mean there is speculating then there is Raith speculating, just like Sims interview. Imagine the financial mess we could have been in had we lost.  Whoever made the decision either has a great crystal ball, or just massive balls. Suggest they might try a lottery ticket sometime soon.

Any home draw in the next round will do me. Whatever happens, I can't see us progressing whoever we get so home would give us the best chance. Like one of the guys on the radio said yesterday, 'Raith aren't going to win the cup' pretty sure the pundits said that in '94 too

Prefer Rangers away, at least their fans turn up for cup games. The apathy from Celtic fans to games like this is unreal, so many empty seats, even yesterday v St. Mirren it was pretty poor.

Brilliant stuff, loved the on pitch video too. Good to read Motherwell supporters offering praise for our volunteers too as they have really good media themselves. 

ETA absolutely agree about Mcbride, thought he was another 5 minute bench warmer. The lads taking care of that nonsense 👏🏻

Watching the highlights there and the role Brown played in the 3rd goal sums up the attitude and workrate of him and the team in general. He bursts a gut to get possession back while the Motherwell players are half asleep from their own throw and then starts the attack that led to the goal. 

Also, don't know if anyone noticed Millen going absolutely mental in the celebrations, running about 60 yards and round the back of the goal like he'd scored it himself. Great stuff.

Would be amazing to get to a semi final but to ensure a payday we need Celtic, Rangers or Hearts. Remember we are the giant killers this round so should get TV money if we draw one of them. Knowing our luck we'll draw ICT or Killie away.
