If we don't get Loy, we should go for Quitongo. I'm sure his old man would be happy with that

I think Raith need to bring in someone who cares about the club, who has a good record in management and won't be too expensive.............step forward Danny Lennon.
Good shout0 -
Wasn't sure about Durrant but the twitter storm is great reading. Every Celtic fan in Dumbarton now hate us and hope we go down with one guy even stating that we've "lost the goodwill of a large percentage of the local population" [emoji38]
This'll be the same goodwill that sees absolutely none of them attend Dumbarton games on a regular basis or take an interest in the future of the club. Their goodwill stretches as far as "how did Dumbarton get on today?" when they see a fan in the pub and every last one of them can bite my banger.
I'm a St.Mirren fan and I can relate to this big time. FTOF0 -
There was a wee 5 min cameo about raith rovers on bbc news this morning due to to a crime writing rovers fan sponsoring the team. Well worth a watch although it foes show hearts scoring 4 goals against you. Has a wee look behind the scenes and shows off the ramsden cup. Not often a scottish provincial clyb gets that much air time

First Post here.
As you can see from my user name i am a Killie fan, I have lurked on this thread a little bit, but felt the need to register.
I have been a Killie fan for 30+ years, and have many friends who are Killie fans, i can honestly say that NOT ONE of them would vote YES to keeping Rangers in the SPL.
Killie are getting tarred unjustly with the usual "**** without the bus fare jibes {funny how those turn into "**** without the bus fare" when Rangers are in town} simply because we have a bean counter as a chairman. I`m not even sure he has done his sums right. I for one won`t be back at Rugby Park, won`t pay the already inflated prices, buy food or a pint in the swanky hotel if he votes to keep that lot in our league. And there are a lot of people like me. Perhaps Mr Johnston should consider those numbers on a large scale over the course of a season.
Rangers {and the flipside of the coin Celtic} have carved up the Scottish League between them for over a hundred years, those of you who are fans of the "smaller teams" know what i mean:
-They have had the bulk of the money from every source and always wanted a bigger slice of the pie.
-They sucked up young talent from around Scotland and let it rot in the reserves.
-They tempted away promising players from other clubs in Scotland with salaries at 10x their present rate, and routinely paid under the market value for those players. Witness their strop at not being given David Goodwillie when Dundee United sought to get a fair market price for the player.
-They siphoned off local fans away from the areas of other teams, whether based on ancient bigotry or engendered desires to bask in reflective glories. Most often Rugby Park is not even full for the visit of the Old Firm, their away support has diminished greatly, and all around are banners such as "Galston Loyal" or "Auchinleck Bears" and the like.
-They attributed all the political power {see the ludicrous 10-2 veto power} for themselves by loading committees and the power structure.
-They seduced the media with the ability to increase circulation and interest.
Essentially RANGERS {and CELTIC} have broken the league through their own greed.
Yet, despite all of these advantages Rangers felt the need to go even further and cheat the league and their rivals by the use of highly dubious accounting. They bought and paid players when they couldn`t afford them. They stole from us.
I have no sympathy for them because they did this to themselves.
If it was my club we would be left to die. They are not a special case, without the other teams there is no league.
The vote should be a unanimous NO to newco
Excellant post. Sums it up for me
