How much debt a club has really does not matter. What will kill clubs is cash flow. Bills are still due, wages need paid but there is very little income. What should happen is that the party cancelli g the games should be liable for loss of earnings. The government did not call off the season it was the SFA/SPL/SPFL or whatever they are called. Clubs should be entitled to compensation for business I teruption and loss of income. Of course the clowns that run our game are imbeciles so there are no cash reserves and I would put my house on them not having business interruption insurance.

Fife Police are useless shite bags. A total waste of our taxpayers money. They are not interested in the slightest if it requires them to do some actual real work.

So either. This is already in the budget, in which case its not extra cash. Or it wasn't in the budget in which case the fans need to ask why such income wasn't being budgeted for.

McGurns mistake was awful but the blame has to lie with McGlynn. If he is insistant that we play the keeper as some type of sweeper in all conditions then mistakes like this will happen. The conditions were terrible today. It was a day to grind out a result and we couldn't.

Kirkcaldy golf club is decent for a few before the game. Food and beer and a decent sized car park. Just up from the rugby club on the same road. They will cater for biggish parties of you let them know in advance

Neither player touched the ball for the pen. Vaughan put his body in to shield it, like you do all the time in midfield, and the ref gave a pen. Rovers were comfortable today.

I think this is more to do with mcGlynns tactics than the personnell. Having our defence pass it sideways for 2 minutes and pushing up the park inevitably leaves space in behind. Then they pass it short into a crowded midfield. If we lose possession we are always pushed up high and struggling to recover. That only works where teams give you space. The oposition has us sussed. They just stit back and wait on us losing it. They don't even have to work hard to win it.

McGlynn thinking Mendy is a football player is on a par with him thinking Smith is an assistant. There is a reason Mendy had never played probfoitball. There is a reason why Smith wasn't working in football. Both useless but both rated by McClown.

Can we just stop referring to success of the past. McGlynn was a failure in his first term he took THREE seasons to get us promoted. THREE seasons is not a success

Yep, as far as I can recall he was never convicted of any crime was he. There are probably dozens of folk in the stands who actually have convictions but hold down jobs and go about their normal daily business.

Well if masses of people at the club do read these things then they need to know that RaithFans will back their team. That backing is not without condition though. We won't back rubbish football, terrible selection decisions and poor performances. Its a really simple formula. Play well entertain us and try hard. We will tolerate getting beaten because our opponent is better. We won't tolerate getting beaten because we have under performed.

McGlynns refusal to actually sign players for a position has always got on my nerves. I thought he might have learned but it appears not. McKay is not a right back. McGlynn/Smith dont have the coaching ability to make a right back of him. We can't play in the league with players out of position every week.

He will definitely do a job for you. Still young but good enough, He didn't feature in our 1st team as he went on loan to Berwick and then returned so we were barred from playing him. He showed up really well in the reserves.

Kelty Hearts are paying some crazy money for players. Seems they are determined to make a push for the 2nd division next year.

Would you be happy to get changed in a portacabin in mid winter. Where are the toilet facilities etc. If its not in place by the start of the season then why the heck would you spend that kind of money and not utilise it properly. This will now be year 2 if the 7 year lifespan of the pitch. Lets not forget how often we relaid the grass pitch and how much money we wasted on it because the groundsmen were clueless. We had specilaists in treating fungal infections and insect damage every year. By year 3 the pitch will probably have paid for itself.

Our defence leaked too many goals last year but If we sign right and right backs who competant at defending we will have Davo, Bene, Murray and McKay to cover at centre half. 2 from those 2 in a settled combination should be good enough. The problem this season was having no right back and an imposter at left back.

The Berwick thing ruinedd his season. He was doing well in the reserves. Berwick asked for him to go on loan. He was not given the game time promised and he returned after a short time but couldn't play for us because he went on loan. Poor set of circumstances but a law qualification will be far more valuable. Good luck to him.

I think the Board turned a lot of fans off from contributing anything to the player development fund. Why should we bother when the Management don't play them and if we get a decent player the Board let them go for free or for peanuts. Like many supporters I would probably contribute if there was a clear joined up approach to progressing player into our team. While we see our players leave and other teams youth players getting a chance ahead of our boys then the club won't attract contributions for this.

No, I would keep Davidson for an other year without any hesitation. He is a winner and his attitude shows that. Sure he shouts and moans at the other players. He has every right to do so. He was giving Craine pelters in almost every game. Rightly so becuase Craine was a lazy, useless bombscare of a left back. Davo might not play every week because he is reaching the end of his career but he is a real professional.

Anyone else fearing a return of the en-mass sub standard loanees from Hearts or Celtic? I seriously hope not. I hate watching us develop others teams youth players while holding our own back.

Dobbie seems to transform Queens. Not sure if it's a confidence thing or if he changes the dynamic. One thing is for sure he shouldn't be playing 180 minutes against us. If we he plays at Kirkcaldy and we don't rule him out of the second leg then we need to look at ourselves.

Couldn't agree more. Totally unnecessary and illegal. The fans should be identifying these idiots and handing them over to the police. The police in turn should be pressing charges.

Absolutely glorious and totally deserved. Thompson has proven himself incompetant as Chairman. Having worked with him outside football it does not surprise me in the slightest. Love it.

Why? Is this the guy that does the commentary? Big fat bauld mouthpiece.

It's not a football decision it's a business decision. Something that has been sadly lacking at our club for years. If a budget was agreed at the start of the year and Smith has spent it, then that's Smiths decision. The Board backed Smith when fans wanted him sacked. They trusted him with the budget he agreed. He signed the players he wanted.
