It’s that fucking yellow strip.
How many decent performances have we put in while wearing it? Get it tae f**k!0 -
What is often forgotten is that there was an experienced (if error prone) keeper behind them, one who Davo didn’t give any shit to, and who constantly talked to his centre backs.
But the same keeper was there when Bene came back in and we started leaking goals again......
For some reason the Bene/Davo combination just doesn’t work and the only people who can’t see it are Barry Smith and John McGlynn [emoji849]1 -

I would have played McKay with Davidson in the middle.
This is the only centre back pairing that hasn't looked like an absolute bomb-scare in the last two years.

If we don't sign a centre half (a capable one) and a striker I find it hard to see us taking anything. Shite that I'm not looking forward to the opening day one bit.
This statement could just as easily have come from a Raith fan.

Cheers Zen.
Not sure if it was the Sept 99 or Oct 2000 game I was at. One of the two though.
So looking at the link Zen posted, Raith have;
Lost the last 12 games against ICT.
Lost 16 out of the last 17 against ICT.
Not won in the last 18 games against ICT.
A grim record indeed!

Think the only one I’ve seen us win up there was when Agathe played for us...
I've only been to Inverness once and we won.
I can't remember many details of the game but I think it may have been 2-1? It must have been around '99-2000 so probably the same game.

[mention=74830]RossBFaeDundee[/mention] 's fault? No I doubt it was. Probably the boards fault tbf.
I like Raith, but you are ruining the high standards of Raith posters by being an utter melt.
Please ignore Frank, most Raith fans do.
He’s harmless but doesn’t cope well with ‘banter’.1 -
Even David Bowie would've thought twice about getting a hairstyle like Kieran Bowie has turned up with this pre season.
Proof that Davo is a bad influence on the youngsters [emoji6]2 -

Were does the website say that? I ammused the (*) was just in regards to the new signings. I’m possibly wrong.
It pretty clearly states that the asterisk denotes part-time players. [emoji16]0 -
Club confirm MacDonald, McGurn, Anderson, Miller and Victoria as part time.
And Davidson as full time. [emoji53]
Was that already common knowledge and I just missed it?0 -
The replacement of the word ‘I’ with the letter ‘a’ in a written format is the most baffling thing.

He’s huge, he’s French and McGlynn has seen enough to sign him after only a few days pre season rather than wait till the friendlies? I’m not one to get carried away but I don’t see how this doesn’t turn out to be our best signing ever...
He can only be our best ever signing if he's black.
Another cult figure in the Rougier / Marv / Tade mould would be just braw.

What are they singing about?

It will look a lot strong with Vaughan, Dingwall and 2-3 loan players. Would be fantastic to get some regular fixtures against the Townies again, wouldn’t complain if we switched leagues though!That would be better than the status quo, but imagine how good it would be going back to the old division one we had for so many years in the 90's when it was us, Dunfermline, Falkirk and Dundee.
Four really good, well supported sides within a few miles of each other battling it out for the league. Those were the days....

Fuckin hell, some folk just really dinnae like the Rovers eh?
Never mind.2 -
In fact, if you break down the performance of the top three into quarters of the season, you can see exactly where it was won and lost.
Quarter 1 2 3 4
Arbroath 21 24 15 10
Forfar 9 15 22 17
Raith 17 18 9 16
Forfar had a phenomenal 3rd quarter, on a par with the performance of Arbroath in the first two quarters, but their shite 1st quarter left them with too much to do. Had their 1st quarter performance been on a par with even their worst of the other three then the title goes down to the wire.
Raith were relatively consistent, with the exception of a shite 3rd quarter. If they'd returned the same points in that quarter as in the other three then the title goes to the wire.
Arbroath won it in the first two quarters. The third was mediocre and the fourth was downright poor, although you could argue they wrapped up the title with a few games to play so took their foot off the gas.

I would hardly call it a collapse. You came Third, worst professional team in Scotland, next reason you will be luck to get in the playoffs, bye bye Nizzy....
The point was Arbroath got 20 points less in the second half of the season than they did in the first.
10 points less than we'd managed in the first half, and most folk said we had a shite first half to the season.
So if we hadn't been so monumentally shite in the second half of the season (the exact same haul of points that Arbroath had) then it would have been a much closer title race.
And in the exact same manner, Forfar had a far superior second half of the season and had they collected more than their relatively poor 24 points in the first half of the season they would have been genuine title contenders too.

That table proves what I thought but couldn’t be arsed to work out.
The general perception is that Arbroath were so good all season that there’s nothing Raith could have done to catch them. Pish.
As Rovers fans we all wanted an Arbroath collapse in the second half of the season and we actually got it, we just didn’t realise it because we were too pish.
As inconsistent as Rovers were in the first half of the season, if we’d managed to return the same points haul in the 2nd half we’d have been joint top.1 -

Some clubs never learn eh?3 -
Wouldn’t be surprised if Dave McKay signs a new contract now Murray is away.
Was maybe hedging his bets trying to decide if he was likely to get a game and that will definitely have bumped him up the pecking order.3 -
Ten thousand pounds for a decent League 1 player is a cracking deal, in my opinion.
Murray has been good without being great, still don't know what his best position is so if Mcglynn gets to re invest that money then its hard to feel short changed at all.
It’s not often I disagree with your opinion mate.
If McGlynn has replacement/s lined up then maybe it’s not such a blow.
Like I said above, if the figure was somewhere around £30-40k or so then I think that would be fair enough as we could get another player in with the fee as well as a replacement with Murray’s freed up wages.
Not suggesting he’s actually worth that much but anything less and we’d have been better keeping him in my opinion.0

Don’t think results elsewhere could have gone any better for us.
