Probably Albertsons, not many Tesco stores over his way. -

Airdrie fans clear out just in time for the cup final, coincidence! probably be needing their Union Jacks, Bowlers and Sashes today. -
Falkirk vs Raith Rovers
San Starko Rover replied to TxRover's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Like it’s changed since 1985 [emoji23] -
Rangers without the bus money [emoji23]. I expected a good team after their run, what a shambles even against 10 they never looked like scoring and as for their GSE wannabes [emoji23]

Montrose v Raith Rovers
San Starko Rover replied to baillieinleeds's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Well that was the coldest game I’ve been to in a while, I genuinely have Pneumonia and my toes may have fallen off. Played shite and didn’t deserve to win but 3 points is 3 points. Didn’t see the trouble must have just missed it as I was at the station and some lad looked like he’d been smacked by someone. Train home cancelled (cheers Scotrail) took me till after midnight to get back to Northumberland via taxi from Tweedbank. Don’t know who or what started the trouble but there’s no need for it, leave that shite to the Old Firm fuds. We need Hendry back badly for next week our midfield is lost at the moment. -

Montrose v Raith Rovers
San Starko Rover replied to baillieinleeds's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Well took the plunge and book a train to Montrose for the game. Unless McGlynn changes things from the Forfar game I can’t see us getting much. Really need Regan Hendry back and soon. -

Is the pitch no artificial? -
The New Raith Rovers Thread
San Starko Rover replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I’ve little doubt if he stays free of injury that young Bowie will move onto a higher level, how high only time will tell and when he does we should hold out for as good a price as we can get not sell to the first Premiership club for a pack of biscuits, a preseason friendly and a loan player. The lad is happy here and in no rush to leave so unless an offer too good to refuse comes in I’m more than happy to keep him. I’d love to see him playing at the top level and as an international one day after a big pay day for the Rovers but we’re a long way from that at this time so let’s just enjoy him wanting to turn out at Starks. Livingston away = shite draw, not even a good town for a sesh. -
We’ve obviously not moved (well not in anyone’s lifetime anyway) but the ground has been ruined by the ridiculous 10,000 seats rule brought in for the fans of the OF which gave us two enormous ends and a railway stand we will never use unless in the Premiership. For a club of our size we should have been looking at two small stands at the sides with family sections corporate and disabled seating with a social club. The ends should have been covered terracing allowing supporters the choice of seating or standing. An overall capacity of 6-8k would suit most medium sized Scottish clubs. Sadly I don’t see anyway to change Starks short of a new stadium and I’d rather we don’t move away from the centre. So unless someone wins the Euromillions and wants a project I doubt much will change. Fortunately it’s not a bad stadium but it could have been so much better without stupid unnecessary rules about all seater and minimum capacity.

Lowland in the Scottish Cup 2019-20

It’s good to see he’s mixed it up by using Cove instead of Elgin on a Tuesday night. Keeping it fresh. -
Pyramid 2019/2020
San Starko Rover replied to Burnie_man's topic in East of Scotland Football League
Interesting and I’m not sure it’s as ridiculous as it sounds, Colts can play at Tier 6 so the OF could be playing the long game here. At the moment they are battering themselves off a brick wall as the SPFL clubs say no to colt teams with the fans in particular united against them (see the League 2 forum thread). Would Junior and Amateur fans be as opposed never having played in the same system there could be a lot of fans or even board members who have “a big club” or just be less hostile to all things OF this potentially adds more weight behind Celtic and Ranges in club numbers, they can also try to persuade clubs at Tier 6 of the benefits they claim and some of these clubs will eventually replace the current SPFL teams at Tiers 3 and 4 suddenly it’s not a handful of clubs for it it’s nearly half. Would take time but it could be the only way they see the SPFL not blocking it as the current SPFL fans are not buckling. They could use LL as a stepping stone once enough clubs from the former Juniors replace the old EOS allowing a rule change to colts at Tier 5 -

Think i'll head up for this one as I've never been to Broadwood before, what the score with parking? is there parking at the ground or nearby? -
First Quarter Report
San Starko Rover replied to fifer67's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Decent first quarter if not great. Dropped silly points down at Stranraer after getting the lead back. Sando seems to have helped the back sort themselves out and stop shipping silly goal unless it’s Davo. JM got it wrong against Falkirk but turned it around second half so hopefully he doesn’t repeat that mistake. East Fife have been the biggest surprise for me and time will tell if they can keep pace or if injuries will hamper them. Still fancy it’ll be Rovers v Falkirk for the title this season but both teams look like they’ll drop points along the way. Playoff final would be a beauty if it was Rovers/Falkirk v Pars. Overall I’d give us a C+ -
Livingston v Celtic

[emoji23]I’m pretty sure celtic will train on artificial pitch before playing a team who play on one. -

Raith Rovers vs Falkirk - 5th October
San Starko Rover replied to Rovers2017's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Strange game overall and the old cliché a game of two halves applies. Both sides will feel they should have won the match. Falkirk should have been out of sight at half time and Rovers will be disappointed not to grab a late winner. Enjoyable game overall. -

John left the door open and those Methil types nearly snuck in. Don’t worry Daniel has closed it on them and they’re still looking in the windows. -
Raith Rovers vs Falkirk - 5th October
San Starko Rover replied to Rovers2017's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Nice to have a game with a decent crowd and a bit of atmosphere. God only knows what JM was thinking at the start with that set up but he changed it and turned it around. Tidser very lucky to stay on the pitch a red all day long. Hendry gets some shocking tackles off teams at this level. Falkirk pressed us well most of the game trying to close down space but I think they tired towards the end just a shame we couldn’t find the winner. Top after 9 games, I’ll take that. -

Fourthfar vs Raith - Saturday 28th
San Starko Rover replied to Rovers2017's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
What's the parking like for this one? Got tomorrow off work so might go up. Tough game and our record up there is less than good, i'd like to see Baird get game time and we're all well aware of his habit of scoring against former teams. Vaughn is a blow if he's out again but if he's in anyway a doubt leave him out as we'll need him against Falkirk where we really can't afford to drop any points if we're to challenge for the league. Hopeful we can bring the points home but i expect to have to fight for them. Where are the best Bridies to be found? -
Junior football, what is the future?
San Starko Rover replied to Burnie_man's topic in Junior Football
Surprised you’re bothering with the next round of the Scottish cup and not just demanding late entry to the champions league. A win against Kelty and you talk like you’re Barcelona [emoji23]
