The New Raith Rovers Thread
embow replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
As far as I've always been aware we were very lucky to get Jimmy Nic. Jim Leishman was all but to be announced as the new manager when someone along the road (Halbeath that is!) suggested/asked for Jimmy to have the experience of an interview as he was thinking of going into coaching and to hold back on going public until it was done. He was invited to a board meeting. The rest is history! -
Airdrieonians v Raith Rovers
embow replied to baillieinleeds's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Maybe you should point this out to someone on the board or Rovers liaison officer. No place for this nonsense at all in our club. -
Top of the league and you're no!

Anything but, after that shite fest against Montrose. -
The New Raith Rovers Thread
embow replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Raith Rovers do not ever do cruise control against Stranraer. That will be as hard a game as say Falkirk or Airdrie away will be. -
Apologies it was indeed Bonnyrigg and not Bo'ness as I stated.

Correct but how embarrassing that there were a quite a lot more at Bo'ness v Clyde. Anyway you're through no matter how it came about. Congratulations. Clyde at your Tony Macaroni should fairly boost your takings in the next round.

Absolutely no surprise that's where he's heading. Was there as raw young laddie after being spotted with Wick Academy. -

He used to be with ICT when much younger. Went there in his late teens/early20's after a debut season with the Academy (Wick that is). Always was a decent player even in local summer leagues when a youngster. He'll be a good squad player for Robbo. Also it's only 50 miles or so between Inverness and Hopeman where I believe he lives. -

Crosses and Airdrie in the same sentence is something you don't often see. -
John McG sounding positive enough in post match interview despite loss of two points. Long way to go. Just got to keep grinding out wins rather than draws to match others around us.

Totally forgot about that possible affect on, particularly the Falkirk game, for a decent gate but also others regarding hospitality etc. Total bummer, financially. -

We also had some (perhaps unbudgeted ) income from favourable cup draws last season? Certainly not this season unless the 'Michael Mouse' trophy delivers anything later in the season. Part time football can be successful. Arbroath? An awful lot is to do with management and skills set etc., of those in the team squad. I think this might well be our year. No idea, or irrefutable evidence, why I'm saying this, but I just have the feeling things will turn out ok. -
East Fife v Raith Rovers (28th Dec 2019)

A belter Specky! And oh so true. -
Just dipping in and straight back out to wish A Guid New Year tae and an' a' at East Fife. Dinae want to be hingin' about too much in here!

East Fife v Raith Rovers (28th Dec 2019)

I was only referring to actual silverware wins. But I take your point that 1938 to 1954 is more than 10. As has been pointed out.....in your sepia dreams -
East Fife v Raith Rovers (28th Dec 2019)
embow replied to King Kebab's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
What a load of nonsense! Yes East Fife had a very good team for about 10 years over 70 years ago and have a few more cup wins but really! Everything goes in cycles but Raith have always been one of the bigger of the Fife clubs and until last season have had the hex over the men from Methil for around 30 years. And it's good night from me and A Guid New Year tae and an' a'. -

Useless fact, but my late wife's cousin played with the Tornadoes in the early 60's. Alas the year after Telstar became a hit. Brian Greig is his name. 81 in January. Spent first 9-10 years of life in Caithness with grandparents because of the war. Told you it was a useless fact. -

And folk wonder why a wee rumour at the Bevvy Park is a full blown fact at the fit o' Pratt Street! Gullan may well be recalled. Bairdy likely to be around I would think until his visa, papers etc for Oz are all in order. How long is a piece of string on that one? -
From the Old Manor Hotel in Lundin Links to Lower Methil! It's downhill all the way.........and in more ways than one! Hope you have a grand weekend.

East Fife v Raith Rovers (28th Dec 2019)

On a more serious note. Was there recognition of the passing of an East Fife legend, George Dewar at the match. A very good striker in the 60's in a decent East Fife team captained by Jake Young at centre half. -
