The New Raith Rovers Thread

[renton 5,266]

Well Smith said 4 + a keeper in the press last week, so Milne in leaves 3 to go. A winger, striker and full back? Almost certain we'll play games with either Matthews or Vaughan out wide so will probably go with one specialist winger just now.

[Wardy 2,062]

Milne stated in his interview that the Rovers are a MASSIVE club. So that’s enough for me.

If the Challenge Cup was a video game then beating Rangers in the final means we’ve completed it.

I must admit, I’ve always had a soft spot for it, but it’s very much a loss making exercise, which is far from ideal.

That said, I look forward to Lewis Milne scoring the winner in this season’s final.

Nothing much been happening with the pitch for weeks. Will it definitely be finished for Christmas?

We’ve decided to play on tarmac this season as a tribute to the young fans who used to hone their football and kerby skills on the streets of Kirkcaldy.

We will also be installing kerbs, and will shortly announce plans to host an International Kerby Tournament with teams from as far afield as Methil, Greenock, Bellshill and Outer Mongolia taking part for the greatest prize in World Kerby, the Golden Kerb.

To get the tournament going, there will be a debate in the centre circle between two eminent professors from the University of Edinburgh philosophy department on the merits of the game and whether it is Kerby or Curby.

For added ‘reality’ at random times throughout the matches a speeding car will move along the pitch to disrupt play.

I am sure all true Rovers and Kerby fans will get behind this visionary idea.

In other news, Iain Davidson (Davo) has gone on a journey up The Ganges.

Iain turned to Hinduism to get over the disappointment of last season. He hopes this will recharge his batteries and give him the inner strength to captain us to the League 1 title.

I am sure we all wish Iain good luck for his trip and for next season.

It does look that way on the pitch cam, but the resin was being laid/installed/poured last week on top of the type 1

I'm glad you put davo in brackets,otherwise I think i might have struggled to work out who you were talking about

[SuperHans 189]

Jesus this is fucking boring! Can we have another speculative rumour that Vaughan might be leaving so at least we can have something to talk/panic about?

I personally think we should keep him. He's definitely going to be the guy that wins us the league this season. Last season he was just warming up.

You've changed your tune.

You've changed your tune.

It's Martin that doesn't like Vaughan, his dad is a big fan.

[He's Got No Hair 46]

 

[Typicalrovers 150]

Aye. C’mon. Forget Vaughan. C’mon. Talk us through finding Martin with the laptop.

Will this be on Sky or Alba?

Stuart Phinn (physio) leaving to take up a roll at East End Park....

Maybe a good thing we didn't sign Flood - he has terminated his contract at Dunfermline to head to the far east!

Apparently they've first dibs on him should he return to Scotland as a player. I reckon he'll retire after being at, eh, Bali United?

[Ro Sham Bo 3,137]

The last thing Bali needs is another Flood.

Cold but funny

No doubt some radical left tit on here will be offended

[Brashy's Boots 564]

Well played Sir. You have won the internet today.

Nothing exciting in this weeks FFP other than a recently released championship midfielder who can also play in defence is training and discussing terms and still talking to several other un  named  targets!
