However, I’ll wait until May before buying that... haha! If anyone can point me in the direction of the middle or bottom, it would be greatly appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where you'll get one though. http://www.raithmuseum.org/?page_id=91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I had the middle one on my 1st Raith scarf along with one with a playing card saying "Raith Ace of clubs" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I got given the bottom one sewed on to a bobble hat many moons ago. I think I still have the hat but not certain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 If we fail to go up this year it will mostly be down to Barry Smiths signing policy, I think he's made the classic mistake made by so many before him in bringing in quality over brawn. Look at McCall's Ayr some decent skilful players and a right few who are more than happy to mix it with the opposition. Even some the skilful ones like Shankland aren't exactly shrinking violets. Put simply I think their balance is better. Meanwhile we have bought a relatively lightweight midfield and forward line. Having a team of footballers is all good and well in a league where they'd be allowed to play but it'll only get you so far in the leagues below the Championship. I truly believe the only reason we escaped from this league the last time was because we brought in Marvin Andrews. I'm not asking us to kick the opposition off the park but it'd be nice to see us not getting bossed and bullied by bigger if less technically gifted individuals every other week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Russell Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It’s simple IMHO, Shankland is the most effective player in this league by a big margin. We don’t have him, Ayr do. Ayr had a clusterfuck of a keeper who they replaced as quickly as they could, we didn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Our next 4 matches consist of an away trip to the bottom side, at home to Airdrie and a double header against an Albion Rovers side sliding steadily down the table. 12 points are an absolute must I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I would say is it’s clear Ayr have a larger budget than us, we’re evidently trying to do things more within our means. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 should Smith continue playing LV center midfield ? not really a success in this position surely would be more effective up front playing with either GS or LB why at Alloa did McHattie take the first corner and then Vaughan took the rest, his corner taking is sadly lacking in goalscoring opportunities 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A budget only does so much. If you had a semi competent manager in charge you might not have spunked most of your money on two strikers that have done very little and gave a new contract to an absolute cluster f**k of a goalie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you put it like that, its amazing we only find ourselves a point behind the best Ayr side in generations. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but with the exception of our attack we’ve been pretty weak so far this season what with injuries. What I’m saying is had Smith recruited better in pre season you could be doing much better than you currently are. But from the outside he seemed to pin his hopes on Buchanan and Spence scoring a barrel load of goals each which they haven’t done. Wouldn’t worry about it though as both teams have shown they can’t run away with the league so I’d expect top spot to change hands at least twice before the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 When you put it like that, its amazing we only find ourselves a point behind the best Ayr side in generations. This is not the "best Ayr side in generations". Defensively we are weak with a goalkeeper (until recently) that was a liability. Our midfield is powderpuff but we have a cracking strike force. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I don't think recruitment is the whole issue. A team containing Vaughan, Spence, Barr, Matthews, Robertson, Buchanan, Thomson should be able to be a better away record. To have won 10 from 11 home games and not be top is not good at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
