  1. After that horrible first half, for whatever reason, it was good to see the shackles come off and just go at them. Could`ve been 5 or 6 by the end. Craig Wighton scored 2 but could and should have scored at least 4. Missed 2 absolute sitters. Still, once him, MOH and Jak came on and Lewis moved to the wing we really looked the part.

    Arbroath looked utterly done. There was no sign of any kind of "bounce" at all.

    TBF if the shoe was on the other foot I,d be the same

    I dont think for one minute that we,re doing it on a shoestring budget and I would think most supporters quietly question how its being done, I certainly do but for now all I and other supporters can do is enjoy the ride

    End of the day the proof of the pudding will be the annual accounts

    Sense at last 👏

    I'd love to know exactly who we're splashing the cash on... One striker from Livingston, A goalie freed from Hibs and a load of Championship/ league one players.

    You do know that money has to be spent on people who do stuff other than kick a ball about eh?

    I heard a figure last night for one non-playing member of your staff. Eye-watering.

    First of all you ask where we are getting our money

    I didn't.

    They are not at your club to invest heavily in first team matters.

    I'm OK with that to a point, to be fair. We've chucked money at it in the past and it didn't end well. Raiths "strategy" looks out of this world because they're winning most weeks. If and when their form dips fans will start to question everything.

    This is a thing a lot of Raith fans do. They try to make out that we're all arrogant flanges who think we're a massive club and 'deserve' to be in the Premiership.

    The arrogant word comes up all the time, as does the big club. The vast majority of our fans are accepting of our place in the grand scheme of things, there's always a few wallopers that every single club carries. However that doesn't fit the Raith agenda that we're all Billy big baws just because we sing a song about them being wee.

    Our board are about improving the team on the pitch, commercial and social media activity and links within the community with schools etc.

    What a novel approach from the Raith owners. More clubs really should try this! FFS.....

    The difference between our boards are you have German investors that have no interest in the first team and are clearly wanting to set up an academy to profit out of any youth. 

    Substantiate

  6. Few of us really know exactly what both clubs are spending. From the outside looking in Raith invested heavily early doors getting players in that would be in demand. We waited and waited then picked up guys that were struggling to find a club, so would perhaps lead folk to believe that these guys were on less money.

    Anyway no complaints tonight. Beaten by the far better team on the night.

    He's an absolute liability. Hank Scorpio described him as like watching a player in a charity game. In the last match at Starks, he sold the jersey stepping off Easton before our goal. Tonight at the first goal, he looks like he gives up. He's an absolute embarrassment of a footballer and I'm delighted every time McPake plays him.

    Christ what a state to get in.

    It's hardly a massively unreasonable shout though.

    If Raith were to go up and offered a contract, why would Edwards not consider it? He could get more money in the Premiership and could get more exposure, so potentially could then sign for a bigger club.

    On paper he'd be an excellent signing for any bottom 6 team.

    But I think you know he's fishing.
