Missed the game today, listened on Raith TV. Sounded like a decent match Rovers doing everything but scoring, Caley hitting us with the sucker punch from a good cross, Caley turning the screw and big Kev saving us from 2-0 then the turnaround for us to sucker punch Caley. Won’t feel sorry for you lads as we’ve had more than our fair share of bad luck in this fixture over the past two decades with many sucker punches. Anyway great result for us to keep the pressure on Dundee Utd.

Must be Inverness’s turn to go two decades without a win in this fixture, it’s only fair.
Tough one, we all know our record in this fixture speaks for itself but having finally gotten the win will the monkey now be off our backs? We’re flying in terms of confidence at the moment but this is a much improved Inverness team after changing manager who are on a good run themselves and have home advantage. Hopefully we’re a bit stronger at the back as ICT will surely offer more going forward than the Pars managed on Friday. Interesting to see how we line up for this one but if the team can put in a shift like Friday maybe we might finally leave the Highlands with the points. Hopefully the weather holds off until after this one but it’s certainly feeling like it’s coming soon.

Thought the police may move the Hearts tie but I see Ainslie's capacity is 3612 so no reason it should be moved. Well, apart from the police being the police of course.
Don't get the attraction of Clyde v Aberdeen. Forfar v Hibs would better for the BBC's love of a potential upset. A real old fashioned ground and you'd get a great atmosphere. They might also be tempted by Ross County v Partick given what happened in the play-off. But of course our public broadcaster is a law unto themselves so will probably go for Brora v Cove as both teams are called Rangers.
Could be a few penalties in that game then.

Hope we don’t get the televised game this round as it’d probably be Monday night.

Assume it’s 4 televised games this round like last year?
1. Celtic v Buckie (Via Play)
2. Dumbarton v Rangers (Via Play)
3. The Spartans v Heart of Midlothian (BBC Scotland)
4. ??? (BBC Scotland)

3rd time in 5 years for that fixture in the same round. Difference being we had a good team in the previous 2 fixtures.
At least it’s a game where no one will moan about the pitch
. Shite draw for both teams met too many times recently.
Pros - Livingston are not playing well, Easy to get to, more winnable than some possible away days.
Negatives - Pretty boring away day, we’ve met several times recently, we always lose.0 -
Livingston away
not a great draw.

Saw this on Twitter/X earlier. The results of the wee morons throwing flares into their own fanbase. Could have been much worse but still. No consequences I bet either. Someone needs to find them and hammer them.
Absolute brainless wee fud that threw that, throwing pyrotechnics at anytime is pretty stupid but to launch it from the back of a stand and not realise it could hit someone at the front is beyond stupidity. Lucky all it did was burn her coat! Young lads are good at trying to create an atmosphere but this was sheer brainless behaviour.

Very good performance by the whole team. Pars were poor tonight and never looked like getting back in the game. Roll on the next round.

Got a ticket so will be heading through for this one.
Bit of a strange one as it’s pretty mooted for a derby game but 6 a season is just too many and the reason we should bin 10 team leagues IMO. Not overly arsed if we were to lose this one, don’t get me wrong I’d always rather we beat the Pars but this season the league should be our priority. If this was a couple of rounds later it’d be different I’m sure. Not been much between the teams the last 3 games so expect a close match again. Our defence looks weaker but with Hamilton back we’re stronger a the other end. Hopefully an entertaining game to take the chill off.0 -
I see from Social Media the away shirts are now not available until at least January! Pretty shocking considering they sold out within days of initial release. Not sure if Rovers failed to order enough or Joma supply is just bad but that’s extremely poor commercial business somewhere in the chain. You’re also expecting people to pay full price for a shirt that’s already halfway through the season.

Better give him another penalty.

Queen's Park apparently aspire to be in the Premiership but have built a ground that is League 1 at best.
Their plan was seemingly to use Lesser was 'regular' league games then use Hampden for games against Sevco and Celtic, selling circa 45k tickets 3/4 times a season at minimum (depending on fixtures and where they'd theoretically finish).
A total nonsense. Hopefully the SFA would tell them bolt should Queen's ever get promotion. They already make Queen's play games on a Friday if Hampden is needed midweek.
The Queen's board have absolutely rinsed their fanbase. They sold Hampden for a total steal and have somehow spent years trying to build a ridiculously tiny ground (aside from East Fife and Dumbarton, who have one stand, I think Lesssr would be be the smallest capacity ground in the SPFL) that they can't use yet, so they're paying the SFA to use Hampden.
In effect they've basically made a really good training ground the national teams for the SFA at either little cost or no cost when the total of all their rent is added up, all to end up with a terrible ground with a ridiculously limited capacity, which limits their growth too.
Yikes.
Absolutely no idea what the QPFC boards plan was with Lesser Hampden and neither do they it seems. As you say ambition to play top flight football but build a stadium smaller than East Fifes one stand. Surely they need a minimum of 6000 capacity if they want top flight (I know it’s not a rule anymore but anything less is not fit for purpose at that level). The move Celtic and Rangers games to Hampden should be a total non starter too, your ground is your ground. I also can’t see the other clubs being ok with a small away allocation while the Old Firm get 40,000+ and QPFC give up home advantage for them.
It was great to see QPFC finally go professional but they really need to sort their board out before they piss away the money they got from selling Hampden. Lesser should have been a simple stadium initially build two seated stands on either side and if they get up add two terraces behind the goals. As Scotlands oldest club I’ve got a soft spot for QPFC and their interesting history so hopefully they get their stadium sorted soon as Lesser currently looks a total waste of money that’ll need to be rebuilt if they go up.

What a team performance to fight back with 10 men. Need to see the red card and penalty decisions again but absolute scenes at the end. QPFC must hate playing us, that’s twice we’ve done them at the death. Enjoyable day out in Glasgow too. Respect to any Glaswegians who choose to support QPFC or any of the non old firm clubs.

Bit shit getting stuck at the corner flag area. South Stand is massive, surely a section closer to the middle could be used for away supports. Not like you require real segregation in fixtures like these. What sections are open for the Home fans?

From who?
Why wouldn,t it last long?
Did you both stand for the minutes thought/silence pre match for Remembrance?
What does observing a minutes silence for Remembrance have to do with Someone’s opinion on the Union Flag? Are you suggesting that Remembrance and Unionism are linked and someone who is a Nationalist can’t observe Remembrance Day?

Two questions for Raith fans:
1. Where do you think you will end up in the league?
2. When is the last time you played in the top division?
1, Think everyone is hopeful we can secure top 4 but the higher the better, can’t see past your lot taking top spot as I can’t see who is going to beat you at the moment. We might be holding your coat tails right now but we’d need a lot of luck to keep up the consistency we’ve shown so far.
2. As said above 1997, we didn’t want to be part of that SPL nonsense anyway! High time we had a wee adventure back up there. Need to make Europe as we’ve unfinished business with that Bayern lot.1 -
Morton fans: Surely our defence can’t be any worse than conceding 2 headers to the leagues smallest player!
Morton Defence: Hold our beer!

I’d pretty much forgotten Corr and Mathews were even in our team they seem to have been out forever. Actually amazing how well were doing with Mathews, Corr, Watson and Gullan all still injured. No idea what the plan is with Ross how’s he doing at Falkirk? Great player on his day but another who can’t seem to get fit.

Airdrie arrive looking to end a winless run while we’re looking for a wee bit of revenge after our only loss in the reverse fixture. Expect a competitive game as Airdrie will no doubt be out to prove a point to their ex players and former manager. Hopefully Easton will be fully fit for this one and it’s great to see Connolly back in the starting 11. We need to win this just to try and keep the pressure on Dundee Utd and we’ll definitely need a better performance than we put in last fixture at Airdrie where I thought we were poor and deserved the 1-0. Looking like honking weather still so wrap up warm and grab a pie and Bovril for this one.

Not enough attention being paid to this absolutely mental lie IMO.
Agreed, i’m not believing anyone is turning down a “100% end away for sure with a somewhat attractive lassie” to watch Morton v Raith on a Tuesday night

Absolutely delighted with the start we’ve made and there is such great team spirit in this squad which is reflected in the wins when we’ve not played well and the late goals. Long way to go but we seem to be up for the challenge. Still can’t see past DUFC taking the top spot but hopefully we can keep pushing them all the way. What a turn around from January 2022 when we signed he who shall not be named and all the fallout that brought, certainly didn’t see us with increased crowds and sold out shirts 18 months later. Credit to the new board members they’ve clearly got ambition and have done the work to get folk through the gates.

Anybody worried yet?
Why would any Airdrie fan be worried? Every man and their dog had you down for 10th place before a ball was kicked but you’ve proved us wrong so far and are sitting in 5th place. There’s a long way to go and it’ll be a tough season but you’ve shown you’re a competitive team and have a good chance of staying up. See you on Saturday guys.

Dundee United 23/24

Na bud we’re just riding the wave right now, don’t think any of our fans seriously believe we can challenge Dundee Utd for the league but we’re enjoying the ride so far this season. Ultimately your strength in depth should be too much for the other 9 teams in this division and I’m sure you’ve got the resources to bring in a player or two come January if you’re not clear of us. Looking forward to our away day to Tannadice not been before and hopefully we’ll bring a good support up.
