I'm also talking from experience and that is a fact.
Our best players are only just now coming back or are still out from long term injury. The same happened the season before. On Saturday at Dumbarton Hendry our playmaker was fouled the whole game - at one point he was fouled 5 times in a row by the same player before the ref took action. Yes, we're talking fact, what "fact" are you on about?

Your whole post epitomises total arrogance mate.
It might seem arrogance to you but I'm talking from experience. It's fact.

But do we know at what point the financial rug was pulled from under him? That a fair point if he was given a defined pot of money but if it was player by player then the MSG suddenly decided the well was dry? Can you trust that its all Rays fault?Is he? Im not too sure about. I liked his appointment but I am far from a fan now. I am on the fence with him and I have been one of the last to fall to the other side for both Houston and Hartley.Not having this. Bravado aside, no one is disrespecting this league or expecting an easy ride.
It's natural for fans of teams coming down from a higher league to be optimistic at getting back to where the think they belong; no fault there, its not arrogance. But as we found out everyone will be gunning for you, the tackling is often brutal - we lost all our quick skillful players to long term injury, and they got no protection from the refs who are generally of an even worse standard than the Championship. Forget about playing teams off the park, most teams wont let you play.

Hamilton, Thistle, Airdrie, Queens Park and Clyde.
Would imagine all teams will be happy with the group.
Will be good to pump Airdrie and Clyde again tbh.
Aye, enjoy. Spare a thought for us far flung clubs the Strathclyde beaks dont give a Fcul about, who fickin perennially send us away to the HIghlands or North East. We even have to go to Dingwall in the Mickey Mouse cup.

Their barge and run tactics was effective against Ross County for 45 minutes, after which County changed to a faster passing game to cancel out their up and at em physical approach. There was only one team in it after that.

I have gave my answer to this, expecting results is something for clubs like Barcelona not for a stuttering Raith Rovers hence the Messi exaggeration.
Edit on your edit - Whistle Blower rightly states your getting a bit ahead of yourself EXPECTING things.
Lets get this into a nutshell - expecting Raith to avoid defeat against Dunfermline Athletic and Partick Thistle is tantamount to puttin ourselves on a par with Barcelona!
Feck me..
:lol: And feckin Raith fans on a Raith thread are defending him
Oh please, please tell me another

Did you ask Whistleblower what his expectaions are? And is he allowed to have such expectations, seeing its something seemingly taboo in your eyes?
Feck me...

See the two posts above mine, ken?
No. Cant you answer for yourself?

Expecting something and thinking you have a good chance of doing something are completely different things.
They are?
I do expect we'll avoid defeat in those games, because theres a good chance of it happening. A very good chance of it happening. We've 'previous', you see.
Its not a certainty, as you seem to think we're claiming, with your shite about needing someone like Messi to accomplish it. You seem to have taken some serious issue to folk having simple and justifiable optimism about their team.
And this is a Raith thread after all.

Aye, I can also read the part where you lost 7 games. Unbeatable you are not.
This is all about you saying its unreasonable - lacking intelligence even - for us to expect to avoid defeat where we've already played and not lost. We've only lost two away games in the league this season, to Dundee and Falkirk, and we were unlucky both times. Five of our defeats were at home, where everyone acknowledges we're a different team. We might remind you - again - that we had no trouble taking six points at Dumffries but lost to you at Stark's Park.
Is there something about this thats hard for you to grasp?

Saying you should EXPECT to win away is not very intelligent I will give you that.
"Intelligence" - rule 1, learn to to read.
I didnt say I expected to win at EEP and Firhill. I said I didnt expect us to LOSE.

Deluded! coming from the one who says the the only way we can beat Partick and Dunfermline away - nae, beat feckin QOS at Starks is to sign someone like Messi.
And when I point out the ridiculous exaggeration folk think I'm taking you seriously. Feck me
0 -
Not me who is expecting to beat Partick and Dumfermline away from home now is it? The only way I would expect that is if we had far superior players like Messi etc.
Raith Rovers FC - Massive Club.
Point made.

Dude you edited your post and still left that in and sounding like a serious point. No................just no.
Feck me - you think I was being serious?

Settle down, never knew you had signed Messi et al for the run in. You were also fucking woeful in the first game at Starks.
Aye we were woeful, but we should still have buried your team, who created feck all the whole game and won near the end by a goalie's miskick.
We've sorted you out twice at Dumfries, and I expect the same again when you come back up here.
PS - I dont think there's a club in the First Division with the stature to be signing Messi, (name one if there is) so no shame for us there, but it seems your lot will soon be joining the part time ranks with the Dumbarton's and Stenhousemuirs where you belong.

Wins against Dundee on Saturday will give us the confidence we need. After that we've only Cowdenbeath and QOS to contend with at home. WE should never have lost to QOS last time at Stark's. We wouldnt really expect to lose the away games even at EEP or Firhill, never mind at Stirling.

I think as someone else has said that this is our Ayr moment. Most folk seem to be assuming the Pars are either in the driving seat or will now just power on to win the league.
But our next three games are winnable. It will need a tremendous effort to win them but it can be done. The performance at Falkirk showed we have the skill, ability and passion.
And if, big if, but if we win those three games then we'll travel to East End at the very least a point ahead. A draw or a win there will see us going into the last TWO games top of the league. And that's assuming Dunfermline pick up maximum points.
I'm bizarrely feeling more relaxed about being in second place than I did when top. Win against Dundee, Cowden and Stirling and we can win this league.
This is my thinking too. We must be expected to win these three games. Let Dunfermline think theyre favourites - theyre not.

Agreed also.
It's been said millions of times but where McGlynn and his staff have the club right now, on the resources that we have, is nothing short of brilliance.
Absolutely. He's molded a team of average players, many who came up after seasons in the Second Division and made them a hard nut to crack thru shear organisation and committment. Folk say we're hammer throwers. My reply to that is we play to our strengths and its got us where we are. Some of our players couldnt pass water or trap a bag of sand, but as a unit we're the best organised team in the league.

Three of our remaining away games are against Falkirk Dunfermline and Partick, the other being against Stirling (a win there is no certainty). At Stark's we really need to beat Ross County Cowdenbeath and QOS and hopefully take something from Dundee.
At least Dunfermline dont have it any easier.
PS - Unless of course Steven Nicholl referees all their games

You will no doubt be of a different opinion but this thread is not about East Fife and their ancient cup history.
