Raithie

Ray McKinnon all over again ahead of the playoffs

I'll not begrudge you the win tomorrow so long as come full time on Friday we're in the final

As much as I'd hope for the ideal scenario of Thistle being fatigued and us being sharper I'm not expecting that - I suspect it'll be a relatively close game with both teams looking evenly matched. I'm surprisingly calm ahead of this, which is not normally a good thing.

Your post got me thinking of an interesting interaction me and my old man had many moons ago with someone. Back when I was 15 me and my parents were on holiday in Florida. We were on a bus and spied someone wearing a Raith Rovers cap which we thought was quite bizarre as the rest of his attire had a very 'American on holiday' vibe (polo shirt tucked into chino breeks with mobile phone holder on his belt and cotton socks up to his knees with open toed sandals. All that was missing was a bum bag and an American flag somewhere on his person). When we got off the bus me and my old man went to speak to him however it became obvious very quickly he had no clue what we were talking about or who Raith Rovers were. Always got me thinking how and why he had a RRFC cap. Maybe it was @TxRover

He seems keen to stay going by what he's said lately to supporters however could just be paying folk lip service. There was a rumour of Motherwell being after him but appeared to come from a Mothewell fan notorious for chatting shite. As for Chalmers, a Rovers fan/group mentioned it on Twitter a day or two ago but I assumed they lifted it from here. The post and the account has since vanished. You boys will know better seeing your team week in week out but everytime I've seen Chalmers he's looked arguably Ayr's best player.

That's some pile on. The boy in the wellies lobbing the chainsaw over the hedge though

Seen a post on Twitter and the Ayr thread that we're apparently keen to sign Logan Chalmers.

Nice end to the league campaign. Really good performance and energy from the team where they just seemed to want to get forward at every opportunity even when game looked dead and buried at half time. Could and probably should have been more.

Corr looked in a lot of pain, head in hands the lot. Dislocated shoulder maybe?

McGill has looked really good this half.

My comment was directed and aimed at Ro Sham Bo (hence the quote reply to him) not what to do as a collective support .....Jesuschristalmighty...some folk...

Maybe wait and see score from 1st leg as well.

You need to login to Fanbase for the tickets to show.

He scored a hattrick in 1st half against us way back at the end of January. He was indeed a complete nuisance.

Anyway to watch this online if you are 'overseas'?

Absolutely. In the past couple of seasons there's been Arbroath and QP going for the league and they've quickly tumbled down the table thereafter. Notable mentions to Ayr and ICT as well who have found themselves down the lower part of the league having spent time challenging for the playoffs in seasons gone by. Only Partick seem to be a team consistently up there in the top 4. Hopefully the additional revenue from finishing 2nd and the experience of being in a title fight can give the club a boost to crack on and see what we can do. Obviously nothing is decided yet on what league we'll be in but should we end up playing Championship football next season it's going to be another b*****d of a league to get out of - Dunfermline, Falkirk, potentially Partick, Airdrie and who knows maybe a surprise package from another team could make for yet another hugely competitive campaign.

At least you might beat Falkirk.

What?!? There's no way Utd are not winning the league mate, you're home and hosed.

They have both tops on display in the club shop, they look really nice albeit they are only display options. Doesn't look like the stock has arrived yet. I've held off pre-ordering until they come into the shop as I've no idea what size to plump for so would rather see them in person.

It would give me the upmost pleasure if we met Airdrie in the playoffs and got our act together and papped them out. We got the ICT and Dunfermline at East End hoodoo off our backs this season and instead inherited Airdrie-fooking-onians as our new bogey team. They've been a monumental pain in the arse in our games and have been absolutely the best footballing team I've seen us play this season. Tactically McCabe has schooled Murray time and time again so if they get past Partick, which is totally doable, they'll fancy themselves against us. The final might be a step too far but you just never know.

If you get upset by Twitter you need to give yourself a shake and go outside for a bit

Remember seeing scores come through for that game, sounded insane.

Airdrie have been an annoying pain in the arse for us this season and kudos to them. They've bossed us in every game and McCabe certainly has his team well drilled and organised when they face us. I was in two minds last night about whether we were due a win against them but then I thought back to games against Dunfermline where people were saying the same and look how that panned out. Overall though last night was grim stuff. No idea what to expect from us between now and the end of the season. We've never really faired well in the playoffs and mentally I just hope the team are up for it. I'm confident we won't throw away 2nd place so with that comes some element of financial bonuses which is a positive. If Airdrie somehow don't do a bottle job themselves they'll fancy themselves whoever they come up against. I don't exactly relish a home and away tie against them that's for sure (yes I get they'd have to get past Partick Thistle first).

Yon Morton fan sounds like the same guy slavering on Rovers Twitter post about this. Nae c**t got injured/died, the boys been found, banned and Utd are assisting the police. Hopefully it'll be a deterrent to others.
