King of the pea hearts Jordan Thompson starting for Blackpool on BBC two just now. I really hated that c**t.

Just heard Kevin Nisbet has signed an extension. Can anyone confirm?

Hard one for the club to gauge, though. You cannae give too much of a discount because then the folk who would go and pay the gate every week will buy one and the club misses out on money in the long run. Flip side is they give a minimal discount and they don’t get as good an uptake. I personally think they’ve placed the pricing pretty well and will be able to snare the capital when they need it without missing out on too much over the piece. They’re relying on folk being more emotional about it and I’d like to think it’ll pay off for them.

It’s an emotional investment, more than anything else. We want the club to be able to afford the best players. I know loads of folk, including almost everyone I go with, who buy full season books and make an enormous loss on them each season. Why? Because you want the club to do well, and for that to happen we need to stump up. I’ll probably buy one this month despite probably making no more than 5 home games between now and the end of the season because if it enables us to get someone in in January who makes a difference who fucking cares if you lost out on £50? Get them bought.

I see we’re selling the half season tickets again. For anyone thinking about it, I’d urge you to crack on and buy it. This extra cash up front before January could make the difference when it comes to getting a player in when the window opens. First 50 at £110 then £125 thereafter. Hands in pockets, lads.

Belgium now look like they’ve never played together before. Shaqiri been unplayable.

3-2 to the Swiss now, before half time! Belgium gone to total shit since going 2-0 up.

Do us all a favour and have your ‘banter’ in the sinking ship that is match thread, please?

I sometimes think that I’m being really harsh on the Rovers support and that I’m sure most supports have their own selection of roasters, but this really takes the biscuit. The still photo comfortably my favourite image of 2018.

Is that the unit of measurement now, like?

I have had a stinking hangover all day and watching back to back 0-0 draws has done absolutely nothing to make it better.

Kirkcaldy only having one station and places like Dumbarton, Greenock and Coatbridge having multiple is a bit mad. To walk to the top of the town from the station in Kirkcaldy would take over an hour. I think there’s a bit chat about a station towards Dysart but all hearsay as yet.

Folk who play drinking games. Or worse, folk who insists you take part in their shite drinking games.

“f**k up” is weegie patter. I can’t even imagine someone saying it in my head without the nasal twang.

What else would he have on?

Lads, Daniel Armstrong. What like?

Woman on the 1713 Glasgow safari from Haymarket currently on the fourth phone call, spoken non stop since we left. Surprised the person on the other end can get a word in. What is it with folk who think it’s awright to have a long conversation on public transport? Surely the protocol if someone calls you and you’re on the train, you say, “I’m on the train, text me/I’ll call you back”? I’ve tutted loudly and shaken my head, adrenaline is coursing through me.

I had something almost identical typed out but deleted it because I didn’t really know how to word it without sounding like a dick but you’ve done pretty well. Always end up seeing some video of young belters from Castlemilk no doubt spending the minimal disposable income they have on fireworks to fire at each other in the street.

Folk that go to football matches and take pictures of the players whenever they go near them. See it all the time when a player goes to take a corner. Sad, pathetic morons.

Do you boys reckon Loy is finished or just out of form/luck? I know it’s rehashed ground but I saw a post about maybe trying to ship him out in January and would be keen to see, if that was to happen, who would take a punt on him.

[emoji28] Imagine that’ll be the last of Regan Hendry we see in a Rovers shirt, given his loan is up in January. Him, Vaughan and Gillespie all being out for extended periods at the same time is really awful luck. It’s been done to death so I won’t go over old ground, but this is really getting daft now.

Great video from Raith TV, under the premise of a live Q&A with the chairman!

This injury situation is fucking unbearable, man. I’ve never heard of a team in all my time following football who get so regularly shafted losing key players for extended periods of time. We are going to struggle big time without Hendry. Can only see the gap between Arbroath and ourselves widening until we can get some of them back.

Wtf is with all the Celtic fans wearing the same jacket?
