Sadly not a fan of either top this season so thought I'd saved myself a fair few bob. Then I realised Joma sizes are shite and my son is now into adult sizes and he wants both.

Raith TV sat down with Captain Quint to talk about his experience with Raith Rovers pre season tour to the Canary Islands....

I have huge sympathy for anyone suffering from tennis or golfers elbow, both painful and frustrating in equal measures. Had a bad case of tennis elbow a few years ago and at it's worst couldn't lift a pillow off the bed. Tried everything from massage, hot/cold therapy, ibuprofen, compression strap but rarely could I get any relief. Eventually over time it healed itself and not had any flare ups.

The club shop side of things needs a massive revamp, we've still got Lang and Spencer modelling stuff on the website.
There's also no sign of any training tops, shorts hoodies etc.
I popped into the club shop before the game on Tuesday and asked about any new leisurewear, was told they are just waiting on everything arriving.

No idea what that even is tbh.
Probably because it's called the Fair Fortnight not Fife Fortnight.

That's one a hell of an assumption of the older generation. I am 63 and have NEVER thought like that. Rather blinkered view from you.
To be fair he said 'some' not 'all'.

Just out of curiosity but where did Goodwillie stand with declining to get involved in a civil court, was he duty bound to co-operate and attend or could he have said he wasn't interested in any further involvement on the back of charges being dropped in a criminal court?

Surely he would have been PAYE? Where did this tax bill come from?
He intimated in the podcast it was for some previous unpaid agent fees from a while back.

Goodwillie also touched upon in the Podcast how he still has that competitive football mindset that he can't shake...but that fans have a field day shouting abuse at him, that he gets hounded in the media and that he has daily suicidal thoughts. Makes no sense to want to willingly put yourself through that for a game of football paid or unpaid. I do feel for his bairns though who will eventually have to have that difficult conversation with their Dad on why kids at school are calling him a beast.

Nope. Read an awful lot about it but not the transcript itself. I had no idea in regards to the toxicology report and I find that very worrying and disturbing
I'd really encourage you to have a read. The toxicology expert actually works out what her alcohol level would be at certain times throughout the evening/morning - I think by the time she was back at the flat she was at something like 3.5 times over the legal limit to drive. A mute point but another thing not picked up on is the fact the transcript mentions Goodwillie left the flat, went back to Bathgate to get his car and drove back to Stirling, where I'd assume, was very clearly well over the drink drive limit.

What does that even mean, what does completely intoxicated mean?
The toxicology reports indicated her alcohol levels to be near fatel levels.

£25k a week.
I spoke to Kenza during their times in England and was told they'd all met up (Conway etc) and by the end of the night Goodwillie had his top off and had stole a lassies lipstick and adorned "£25,000 a week" on his own chest.
Funnily enough he was asked on the podcast what he was making at Blackburn. He chuckled and said he didn't want to say.

I get some folks won't want to watch the podcast but for those that don't, but regardless are somewhat intrigued by the content, I'll summerise below. This is from memory from watching it last night so apologies if some of it is skewed:
* He's adament Denise was aware of what was happening on the night in question and can't understand why the next morning she claimed she can't remember a thing. Adament he did not spike her drink and adament Denise made the choice to stay in the flat when Goodwillie and Robertson left in the morning and it wasn't a case that they just left her without at least trying to get her to leave.
* Stops short of basically saying she's after money after reading her background reports in terms of her upbringing/lifestyle/family life.
* Said John McGlynn was like a father figure to him and was assured by Raith Rovers things would be fine when the deal went through and that albeit there was some pushback it was felt it would blow over. Admits he wasn't overly keen on coming to Rovers and had reservations about it. Doesn't go into detail on the deal itself and how it came about. McGlynn being at the club was obviously a big factor.
* Admits other teams on top of Rovers were keen to sign him from Clyde but didn't want to name clubs.
* Speaks about the guy in North Lanarkshire Council who put block on Goodwillie turning out on loan at Clyde from Rovers and that that particular gentleman has allegations against him for sexual crimes.
* Says he had no idea what a Civil Court was and when questioned what would have happened if he had simply said he wasn't prepared to turn up says he doesn't know and never queried this. Says he was under the impression if found guilty in Civil Court he'd have went to jail.
* Denies that he went bankrupt solely to prevent paying Denise. Says he got a £42,000 tax bill that he coudn't pay and the advice was to declare himself bankrupt. Was given advice by his laywer to sell his house of which he got £170,000 (I think that was the figure) and that this went to paying his legal fees. Did not receive any legal aid.
* Says he would happily sit down with Denise to discuss matters. Says he would quite happily go back to criminal court tomorrow if that was possible to clear his name. James said he would happily have Denise on the podcast if she wanted to say her piece.
* Says Denise has never actually said she was raped and that all she has said is she can't remember what happened on the night in question of which Goodwillie says was consensual sex.
* Feels both him and Denise are wanting justice. Denise to know what happened and Goodwillie to be seen as not a rapist.
* Says he is currently working and has been for a number of years. Would play football for free if he could and on the flip said with the rising cost of living was keen to earn some more money for his family playing football if possible. Wife has told him to stop pursuing football.
* Says that he's contacted regularly by managers wanting to see if he would turn out for them but has knocked a lot back as he knows what outcome will be.
* Says he has not spoken out about things after being given advice to keep shtum.

If the Annan game ends up a bit of a dead rubber, then hopefully he can get a bit more game time to build up confidence.
If what Dunfermline fans are saying is true then I do worry about not just Ross but some other players as apparently Annan were quite 'industrial' shall we say. Crocked their golden boy last night.

Got an email from the club last night, I'm assuming anyone signed up to the Rovers Digest email would have got it also, which included a survey about the matchday experience. A lot of emphasis on the singing section with one question being the preferred location so at least they're taking into account a possible move back to the SS if that's what people would rather.

If Twitter is to be believed Murray won't be signing for us.

What happened? I couldn't really give a shit that he went to Dunfermline, it was a step up from playing another season in league 1 tbh.
Aye this. Basing any negativity on signing Murray because he left us for Dunfermline is rather petty. Interestingly a few Hartlepool fans were saying on Twitter Murray put in some good performances towards end of the season. On the flip side they think Paterson is one of the worst players they've seen in a Hartlepool shirt.

Which is why there’s speculation that the home fans will be moving to the North Stand as part of some master plan. Obviously it wouldn’t be this year, which is why the “Singing Section” announcement seemed a bit surprising.
I don't think that's the case. Having a dedicated singing section in the SS would be tricky. There's a dedicated family section which would mean a no no having it near there (language etc) and anywhere else means asking umpteen season ticket punters to forego their seats the following season (if they don't want to be part of it) not to mention deciding how big a section to give to the young team. Hibs fans are already up in arms at the fact the club want to trial their singing section in another part of the ground impacting folk that don't want to be part of it. At the moment the railway stand is the only logical place and a perfect size... but, as is clearly the case, impacting the atmosphere in the SS/main stand. However part of the issue with atmosphe at Starks is being so far away from the away fans and yesterday was fantastic in the railway stand, and I won't lie, I got right into it at times. Just a pity we don't have the home end we could use as it would be much more beneficial.
