Hank Scorpio Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Huge blow to now likely be without three starters after today. Benedictus, Varian and Matthews - if we don’t appeal - are all big losses. Away end is sold out, atmosphere will be good, can’t wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Fully expecting a shite quality game, with Rovers eventually winning 2-0. Young team will be out in force on Tuesday night so I’d leave your grandmothers in Kirkcaldy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worried about Pops for Varian and Lang for Bene, but Riley-Snow as the likely replacement for Matthews is a less sanguine thought. I don’t expect an appeal, as the video from the Railway Stand looked like a convincing red card challenge. 1 hour ago, Cardle is Magic said: Fully expecting a shite quality game, with Rovers eventually winning 2-0.

I’m kinda doubting that PG won’t find a way to shitfest his way to a draw and extend his term at EEP, luckily for us (except those damn draws). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 We have drawn 5 of our last 6 games, so it certainly wouldn’t come as a shock. Asked my mate if he wanted a ticket and he just laughed, which sort of sums up how Pars fans feel about the club right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Poplatnik could barely last 70 minutes today so I can't see him having 90 in him on Tuesday and the only option on the bench is Mitchell. This will be the game where our small squad costs us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 zero enthusiasm for this. I can only hope the board decide 10 games and zero victories is enough to get a new manager but I doubt it. We can draw this, and hopefully that's enough to get us closer to 9th or 8th. Anything more would be a miracle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Even if Varian makes a recovery I'd still start Poplatnik, I think he's a better option for bringing our midfield into the game. Varian ploughs a lone furrow without quite achieving the same link-ups. Lang's a good player, I'm a big fan of his, but I would be much happier with Bene. It's just such a strong partnership that he and Berra have. Big shoes for Lang to fill, but we'll see. BRS is a bit of a wildcard. I wouldn't be astonished to see McGlynn pull Tait back into the base of midfield and put Ethan Ross into the attacking three. It'd be bold, but I'd quite like to see it... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 It wouldn't shock me massively if we were to scrap a win here if Raith are without Mathews. I'm not saying we'll play well, or even deserve it, but with the amount of vital and good first team players Raith could be missing I see an opportunity for us to shitfest an undeserved 1-0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a rovers win and grant sacked i'll be happy. Unfortunately that unlikely, our choices are between a rovers win and grant staying or a draw and grant staying. So i'll take the draw, despite that being a shit result in the context of our season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An astute observation. It's the Rovers' way after all to gift points to lesser and lower league teams. Our erses will have been skelped by 21.40hrs Tuesday and you called it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Get Wilson, Breen and Kennedy in for this. Dow has been anonymous, Vytas is clearly carrying an injury and Iain Wilson is just a tremendous footballer. Not got much enthusiasm for this tbh but I can see us getting at least a draw. The PG draw machine keeps on churning, boys. When was the last time the Rovers beat us at home in a league match? Genuinely struggling to remember. Was it in 2009? Think they won 2-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like you looked it up and pretended you didn't I couldn’t be arsed going through results over a decade ago in all honesty. It was just the first game that popped in to my head. That’s quite a shit record Rovers have at EEP tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Won a couple of cup games there since but yes, the league wins in the 2000s have been scarce. Time to put that right midweek. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 If Iain Wilson is fit enough he has to play, comfortably our best midfield player and despite being out for so long I thought he changed the game when he came on yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Aye our recent record at East End is very poor, not sure Dunfermline’s is all that much better at Stark’s though, home advantage has key in the derby in recent years. The Grant Murray years really hurt our record in this fixture. This century our record, outwith Grant Murray’s tenure is: Played: 24 Won: 9 Lost: 8 Draws: 5 Under Grant Murray it was: Player: 6 Won: 1 Lost: 4 Draws: 1 On to this game, with Matthews and Benedictus likely to be out, I would gladly accept a point right now. Agree with everything RATM said in terms of Ross in for Matthews which is obviously the brave option and also as much as I like Lang, I would be much happier with Bene in given his performances this season. Poplatnik comes in for Varian for me, even if Varian is fit. Hopefully a good game, weirdly looking forward to being in a different stand, the fact it’s sold out and right beside the Pars fans should make it a good atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper this is an easy win for Rovers. We are a better team with a manager who is light years ahead. But we’ll be missing three starters and the guys who played yesterday have had a tougher shift than usual having to play the second half a man down and don’t have much time to recover. Add in the fact it’s a derby and the chance for an ‘upset’ is a reasonable one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
