I don't know where people are reading/hearing folk still talking about DG saga other than on here. I never hear folk mentioning it at games or in the streets, I've got a lot of non Raith Rovers supporting pals who are all into football and they never mention it. A quick swatch at our Twitter and we don't really have people wading in to stick the boot in. Away fans aren't giving it to us tight during games. Vals clearly gotten bored of harping on about it. If there's folk still staying away because of it this must equate to a very small minority - it certainly doesn't feel like there's been a massive reduction/impact on our crowds anyway. I have no idea what the uptake is with hospitality these days but money is tight for a lot of people at the moment, whilst the DG situation probably had some effect (at the time) to assume that's the main factor at this present moment I don't think that's quite the case.

Linlithgow started the game as I suspected, came out all guns blazing and put us under immediate pressure. Can't really remember MacDonald having a save to make throughout the game though and apart from a couple of balls flashed across goal from us we didn't really cause them any huge issues in the 1st half. Fortunate as well that their boy couldn't finish his tea with that glorious chance. 2nd half it was one way traffic and probably a combination of Linlithgow players getting tired and our full time status/additional quality got us through the tie.
Whilst there was never any danger of their being any bother I'd have much rathered segregation was in place so all the Rovers fans were together, was zero atmosphere having everyone spread about the stadium.

Who says Stanton is injured. IM stated he trained during the week and would be on the bench tomorrow.
My thoughts as well. Unless he's injured again between Murrays post match interview and McGill signing.

The fact Fredericksen scores our winner against QP and finds himself on the bench for the next game tells it's own story. Pretty sure Murray said after the QP game there was still aspects of his play against QP he wasn't happy with. His decision making when he came on against Cove won't have done him any favours and I've no doubt Murray is starting to lose patience with him resulting in his comments post match. Will he come good? who knows but my gut feeling at the moment is it's a signing that hasn't worked out.

When you catch a ball perfectly on the half volley and you just know you're about to see the net ripple any second.

Also why the f**k was Easton booked after scoring?

Granted my stream isn't the best quality but it looked like Nolan was shoved in the back resulting in a hand ball. Possibly should have been a free kick for us rather than a pen. Couple of good goals from us, the first with some great build up play and sexual finish from Vaughan.

What’s this Delios being bitter about ! He’s already stated they are looking at other clubs now
Dellios keeping this going in the papers could be his downall. Hopefully other clubs are reading it and can see he comes across as a walloper and give him a wide berth.

Can't for the life of me remember where we parked for the last cup game there, where's best place to park?

FWIW there are still paper tickets on sale from Linlithgow direct
The Linlithgow fans on the match thread are saying there won't be any segregation and if I remember correctly from the last cup game there you can walk around the entire stadium if you want. Got option for folk to think about if they are desperate to go.

Slightly off topic from the recent Sim interview but I see Alegria has been re-called by Rangers, previously was at Falkirk on loan, with possibility of him being loaned out again before the window closes. Any good and worth a punt? Wiki has him down as scoring 9 goals in 16 games.

Going by that interview we better hope to f**k we beat Linlithgow.

didn’t look very diddy the way your fans celebrated.
I think a combination of Big John getting his first goal (a bit of a cult hero amongst some of our fans even if he's not had much game time) and the fact we're the cup holders grinding out a win with the squad we had available.

Is that Oconnell away now ?
For the moment yes, he's not had his contract renewed by Killie which ran out this month. His loan is over so if we want him we'll need to sign him permanently I believe.

Going for some lunchtime bench presses today. Had some time off in January and squatted for the first time in two weeks on Monday night, had a touch of DOMs since.
I know the feeling. Took two weeks off the gym during the festive period. Squatted last Friday, took until today for DOMs to subside

So yeah, we'll no doubt sign Connoll then panic sign a defender on loan and that'll be it.

Decent vlog from Friday's game with video of the Young Team's pre match march. Kudos to them for organising this and creating a bit of an atmosphere, hopefully they continue this going forward and keep turning up.

Would have taken a point before the game and in all honesty felt we were fortunate to come away with a point. That 2nd half was a tough watch at times particularly after a decent 1st half performance. Nice to see a bit of life in the San Starko, night time games are the dugs.

We’ve been pretty good in many of the games at Starks that I’ve seen.
So what's that, about one game?

Young Team planning a march on Friday night from The Estuary at 19:15. Rovers offical Twitter now tweeting it trying to drum interest. Fair play to the youngsters, they are at least trying something and they made a decent noise at the last game against Morton.

We've been utterly rancid this season. The fact a win* here puts us 4 points behind the footballing powerhouse of Dundee would be quite radge.
*we won't win though.

Foreign investment in Scottish football is always a worry for me. Keen to know his motives and why us?

On another note a crowd of over 2000 for a run of the mill league game against ICT is good going. A shite month financially for a lot of folk, shite time financially in general for a lot of people as well, so kudos to the home and away fans that turned up.
