Oh! Please do, please do!

No idea why if weather was wet but believe it or not sprinklers are needed to provide the best astro surface. I sometimes wonder if Livi or QoS etc take enough care of their pitches

Petty point scoring against Robbo giving it with both barrels to referee and officials in post match interview. You dare not speak out about our useless incompetency. It's as simple as that.

Don't know what it was but it cannae be far off three washers, a tin tack and a furry caramel that's left from digging deep into the depths of the club's pockets. In a word we're skint!

I expect fully to hear that it's been cancelled around 2.00/30ish with once again travelling fans not being thought about as another late decision enters the history books. And if by some miracle it survives then as you correctly mention farce it will be.

It'll be mair than a wee bit wind! Giving 55mph for afternoon. Maybe a bit of rain. This is all before the actual storm makes landfall later in the evening. The game may start but I'd not be too surprised if it doesn't end. If it goes the full whack it will be a total lottery regarding the outcome.

Time tae also pit the Bairns doon and get some time tae oorsel's. Just need to find the 'Do not disturb' sign to hing on the door knob.

Far too reasonable and sensible for some of the Falkirk fanbase in these forums.

Very much THIS! The quiet steady hand behind the scenes but by God they fitted together to make sure we benefited as fans of a wee provincial club performing well above its supposed station in life. Great days, indeed!

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!

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.

Anything but, after that shite fest against Montrose.

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.

What in the name of f*** is a barry pirty?

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.

That's the gemme! You tell 'em Specky!

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.

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!
