Raithie

Am I right saying QP haven't won a league game since the middle of August?.... Yet are only a couple points off the promotion playoff spot.

Agree with this, I like Millen. Love his passion as well. Oh and glad to hear Blair on one of the previous podcasts complimenting Millens first touch, something I've admired for a long time.

I wasn't far off my assumptions. Airdrie very nice on the eye, organised, can pass it about and determined to play it out from the back. In some way it reminded me a bit of McGlynn's tenure and it was encouraging that we sussed it out early doors and played a high line to try and stop them getting into a rhythm, something we didn't do in the 1-0 game. Managed to pressure them into a couple of mistakes in the 1st half however thought they looked dangerous going forward and had Dabrowski to thank for a couple of good saves. Draw probably a fair result overall. 3 games in the space of a week and 7 points, can't grumble with that especially with a number of players still out.

Connolly left his foot in.

Braw, no idea why I thought they were back in full time training

No idea what our financial situation is like, I got the vibe from Barrowman we had to offload Ross to Falkirk to balance the books however Potter was in the Courier saying work was in place to start identifying targets for January so guessing they have a plan of some sorts. If we're there or there abouts come January it'll be interesting what the clubs end up doing.

I'm maybe making this up but did Murray not say Matthews and Corr were now back in full time training prior to the Dunfermline game?

Only seen Airdrie twice, the game against us then the game against QP on TV. Their style of play and tactics seemed to be exactly the same. Do Airdrie have a plan B? If they plan to stick to the same gameplan/style hopefully Murray has learnt something from the game against them a few weeks ago and how to counter this. Actually thought Airdrie looked not bad in our 1-0 defeat, seemed organised and comfortable on the ball. Fully expecting us to still be without Gullan, Watson, Hamilton, Matthews and Corr and hopefully Millen is ok. We're at home though so that's a bonus.

It a shared gate?

If you log in to RaithTV you can see game with commentary. At full time dug out cam captures the handbags. As for Ross Millen, his passion at full time in games where we've picked up a big result is outstanding. He was almost convulsing when he came up to the South Stand yesterday. Dabrowski in amongst the fans when we scored as well

Millen going for a wee wander

Dug out cam is up, be warned. It's highly offensive and over the top. Don't blame McPake complaining.

Hope the extra £2 was worth the trip through

Couple of videos on Twitter. Can't tell who's who.

Millen at full time

Bahahahaha superb

I'd suspect the bottom rows of the North Stand will be unavailable as will the good majority of the section nearest the railway stand as pretty much all the seats are broken. Decent turnout none the less. As for the game. I'll plump for a draw. Dunfermline looked not bad in the league cup game and didn't look a team down to the bare bones at the game at the KDM Stadium. Always close games. 1-1, preferably with us getting the equaliser through a Ross Millen last minute goal at the North Stand end.

Only 300 tickets left in South Stand. Dunfermline sold about 1600 odds so far.

Birthday cake more like.

I'm claiming squatters rights and will shush the away fans Ross Millen style on my own

Spot on. Just got an email from the club saying exactly that and to pick a seat in another stand for Saturday. Also asked if we want to relocate to another stand permanently so looks like they're starting to wind down using the Railway Stand going forward. I have plumped to return to the South Stand.

Just got email from club. Railway Stand being shut for this game.

These games are usually tight affairs and not expecting anything less on Saturday, regardless of Dunfermline's recent defeats. From our end a lot hinges on who's fit. Unless Murray has mentioned anything about injuries (if he has I've not seen it) then it's either to not give anything away to the opposition camp or things are bleak and he doesn't want to give fans bad news in the build up to the game. I'm leaning more towards the latter.

If you're needing the extra £2 to make it to the game let me know
