The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

I know it’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but not serving food or drinks having played in a game where a club did it seamlessly and made lots of money doing so is just shit. The hard work has been done. Phone Livingston and ask about the logistics of doing it. We are trying to attract more people to games. Serve them refreshments ffs. 
The logistics is simple. Fence the outside area under the stand with heras. Have a steward to show your ticket. Have a snack van outside.

I’m sure, or hope that McGlynn has a few feelers out for a replacement. Why is Raith Rovers so unlucky with injuries?!?!

Hank Scorpio red dotting legitimate questions. What an absolute weapon you are.

Musonda would have the attributes for playing base of a diamond and Vaughan would be fine at the front, but there's already one problem there and then you still need two guys with legs in between. 

Legit to scoff at Barry playing Vaughan so far back when he didn't need to, but if he has to play in midfield in a crisis it's probably ok very occasionally.

We're short whatever way you spin it

We're gonna drop Vaughan back in there, aren't we....

If we do, does it mean Barry Smith made the right call?

The answer is no, but we don’t have many midfielders available and they aren’t particularly experienced. Wonder what McGlynn is thinking about it?

Aye, as much as we were all hopeful we could suddenly leap from loads of restrictions to none, it was maybe always going to be a bit of a stretch. 
 

That said, unless we’re in with a chance of doing something at the business end of the season, five thousand is probably as much as we’d need anyway, and this is hopefully just another temporary step. 
 

Can understand why clubs with far bigger supports than ours will be raging about this, but we won’t really lose out at all. 

The likes of (The) Rangers and Celtic will have a legitimate grievance. 5,000 in Starks is busy. 5,000 in either of their grounds is rattling around in a vast arena. It makes little sense. I suppose they can always apply to the local council for a larger attendance and you would think that would be granted. Not sure what hoops they have to jump through for that or why it’s even necessary.

Careful now, any dissent to our dear leader will be met with tears and snotters from the Lefty’s in our support.

Yea I’ve noticed. Bet they spilled their soy drinks reaching for the red buttons😆😆

It's a change in direction from your overreactive, whinging style. 

Just as shite though.

Agreed. 

Alas, Frankie is also injured. Any idea when we're due him back? 

We could really do with Matthews back as well. Again he is a different kind of player to Spencer, but he is at least a natural midfielder. 

Could even perhaps look at a 4-2-3-1 along the likes of: 

Matthews - Tait/Musonda (if needed) 

Connolly - Vaughan - Zanatta

Blaise played well at Livingston. Solid 7.5/10. I missed Saturday and there’s no doubt he didn’t look good at all from the highlights, but then I wouldn’t have fancied being Reghan Tumilty through Monday’s video analysis session either.

We’re definitely short of numbers, particularly with BRS not fully fit, but between him and Arnott we shouldn’t need to be sacrificing our best player.

A huge blow though, particularly with Matthews presumably still a few weeks away at the very least.

Riley-Snow wasn't great on Saturday at all but played better than that previously, did he not? It's a big ask to throw him into the middle of the park, granted.

You also can't ignore the fact that Spencer's injury might not be as bad as first feared...

We don’t even know if it’s real yet.

Correct, he's one of the prominent arseholes on here.
Some of the others will be here shortly to give him moral support

Out for 4-6 weeks according to the Courier.

Probably can't expect Matthews back for another 2-3 if he's in light training. 

Bit of a disaster really. Need R-S and Arnott to step up big time. Not sure getting a identikit Adam King type loanee in will help.

To be fair, it's the FFP who've got the broken foot story this morning rather than the Courier, going by their online content. I'm not sure about any print editions. 

The Courier have been lightyears ahead of the FFP recently though, there's no doubt about that. Alan Temple doing excellent work covering multiple clubs in the region.
