Looks about 800 so far. Poor from them
The two sections at the end of the stand will be out of use however they've sold out the two middle sections and a number of seats in other areas of the stand. Well over 800.

Didn’t work too well for Raith on Tuesday in the 2nd half though so they will need to figure that one out.
Didn't work too well? we won the game. With 20 minutes to go it was about seeing the game out and I suspect Murray had confidence in the team doing that, which they did, without needing to go gung ho.

Used to be a poster on Fantalk years ago. AuthorUnknown….beginning to think this is you.
When it comes to posters, for the wrong reasons, he was absolutely the best one I've seen. The meltdowns folk would get into when he posted was hilarious. Some folk just take the internet too seriously at times.

Rovers setting up to attack and put the tie to bed is risky business for them. This could create space which Thistle can and will use.
Thistle setting up to attack and get back into the tie is risky business for them. This could create space which Rovers can and will use
High stake game for both teams, neither team are under more pressure than the other imo.

Couldn't believe how poor it was, I get that not all goalkeepers are comfortable with the ball at their feet but his kicking out of hand was also pretty ropey.
From the odd training clips that occasionally goes up on Twitter it seems to be something he's trying to work on and there's always seen to be an emphasis on this in the warm ups as well however I always shit myself when he gets the ball at his feet. Absolutely no concerns with any other aspect of his play, some of the saves he's pulled off this season have been outrageous and he's not been as flappy as of late. If we were to do something mental such as make the final then seeing him potentially save the winning penalty to give us promotion would make me greet, such a likeable guy. I say that he'll probably have a clamity on Friday now

1st Leg: Job done. We faired better than I anticipated but it was a bit of a pisser that Thistle got themselves back into the game with the jammiest of goals when we looked to be relatively comfortable. Kudos to the team for not having a complete arse collapse. I'd have taken a draw so to come away with any win was fantastic. You could argue Dabrowski kept us in it albeit none of his saves were out of the ordinary. I thought he done well with balls into the box, still a bit questionable with his kicking though.
2nd Leg: First goal, if there is to be one, is crucial. Can imagine Thistle will come out all guns blazing and if they are able to take the lead in this game it'll be interesting how we respond. Will also be interesting to see if Doolan starts the team that finished yesterday as their subs definitely made a difference. As for us, well once again who knows how we'll line up and if Murray has something up his sleeve.

Ray McKinnon all over again ahead of the playoffs

The law of averages must be with us in getting something against this mob
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.

See also Las Vegas Raiders NFL T Shirts. I suppose the ‘ultimate’ example of this are NY Yankees baseball caps. Everywhere… clearly no-one (or 99% of them anyway) wearing one is actually a baseball fan, it’s just about the logo. As an NFL fan myself, if I see someone wearing a Raiders item, I generally don’t reckon they’ll be into the sport. I saw a guy in my local Tesco recently wearing an old Reebok era Cincinatti Bengals jersey, said ‘Go Bengals’ to him in passing, and he was a fan. Was too niche a jersey to be a ‘fashion choice’ item.
Doesn’t always work out, but you can usually differentiate between a fan, or someone who went to Lids and came out with a Raiders cap.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

Easton away most likely.
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.

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.

Better still just cut out the middle man. Either wait until we're knocked out to moan, or when we get promoted moan about any number of issues that brings you.

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

Think I'll wait and see who we're playing first!
£24 is a disgrace too.
Maybe wait and see score from 1st leg as well.

One player that really caught my eye on Saturday was the boy Alex Samuel. A complete nuisance of a striker, built like a tank. Maybe not overly prolific in front of goal but I thought he was good, and has been good any time I seen him this season. Sure he scored two at Starks against Raith.
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'?

I just hope we can keep the feel good factor going into next season!
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.

Looking forward to a real rivalry next season with the Falkirk.
At least you might beat Falkirk.
