Scary Bear Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Well, it’s that time again. Can we do it? Rovers and Inverness both coming off winless 11 game streaks yesterday with our first 3 points of the year. Inverness humping Arbroath is the better result. Who will get the better of this game? All Rovers fans probably suspect they know the answer but that long winless streak against ICT (wins on penalties excepted) has to end sometime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If we fail to win, and go a whole season without beating a team managed by Billy Dodds, then McGlynn should be given his P45 to take down the road with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Strange times, strange times. It seems to me that some of the most vocal Inverness locals have headed for the hills. The ICT home win against Arbroath was a triumph and rather than concede any of their high horse, we're saddled with silence. Whilst acknowledging that I couldn't quite get to grips with the formation that Billy Dodds persisted with, it should be recognised that he changed to succeed. Perhaps those that were so sure of themselves will reflect and register their goodwill with respect to a crucial fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 With the amount of injuries accumulating, I can’t see us ever beating ICT. We were really lucky against QoS. I’d rather we finish in 5th and let the clubs that actually want to battle it out for a play off place. Self sabotage seems to be our credo. It seems to be a fear factor of my club, we get to within touching distance, then someone at the club puts a spanner in the works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Yes, the original Raith Rovers were from Cowdenbeath. Raith stretched from the west of Kirkcaldy past Lochgelly. There's a Cowdenbeath pub called the Raith Arms. There is still a large area of private land called Raith Estate between Kirkcaldy and Auchtertool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked up to see if Raith Rovers were the result of a merger only to find out there was a club before that were called Raith Rovers, so this Raith Rovers aren't even the original. However there is little chance this Raith Rovers would ever merge with a team from Cowdenbeath. Is San Starko the stadium in Scotland that is closest to a railway line in meters than any other club in the SPFL? I know Alloa and Stranraer have railway lines very close to their grounds, right besides, or one corner in Stranraer's case. Raith have only beaten us 5 times in 26 league games, all 5 coming within the first 6 meetings between the clubs during 1999/2000 and 2000/2001. I've probably jinxed us by mentioning this. Get a look at our baggy orange away kit back in them days, anyone know why orange was a good idea, it seemed very random? Raith Rovers haven't beaten us on their own patch since 26th August 2000, the game below was us breaking our duck and 21 years + its still going. I wouldn't worry about jinxing it. This gets brought up every time the sides meet and the only tangible progress we seem to have made is that we can win a penalty shoot out against you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QOS created the two best chances in the game whereas apart from our sclaffed goal we were shooting from distance, but I wouldn't say we were lucky as we dominated possession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toastie Burns was an absolutely quality player for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Finally win a game, we aren't out the playoffs and even 3rd place looks like it might be back in play again. Let's go! Ah, wait. It's Inverness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) IIRC Raith beat Livi who then spent about £100,000 signing Tosh, Andrews and Burns about 2 days later. Edited March 14, 2022 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Surely to fuck you will beat us in the league soon. You've been close the last couple of times. Is it really 6 months since the 1 each at Stark's Park? That was a decent day out. I reckon Saturday was a false dawn for The Caley, Arbroath were laughably shite. I have a bad feeling about this. 2-0 Raith Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a crisis meeting in the main stand when one of the directors at the time tried to justify it as we had booed the team, which included these three, off the park a couple of weeks previous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, 4-0 we beat them at their place with Burns scoring one, Andrews with a double and Tosh's brother getting the other. Some day out that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I was at that 1-5 game, great days with good players, going into every game with the optimism of a win, now we have some who excitably view Saturdays result against a part time team as a title win. I'm hoping for a win but fear it will be another draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
