Pars vs Rovers Part IV - Box Office
Specky Ginger replied to Cardle is Magic's topic in Domestic Cup Football
He maybe watched it on the same dodgy firestick as Michael Matheson's boys. -

Murrayball from minute one. -

And "Yesterday's match of the day was at Tannadice, but our cameras were at Cappielow". I used to love it when part two started after the ads and it homed in on the ball in the centre circle and all you could see were the socks of the guys about to take centre. -
The New Raith Rovers Thread

100% correct. I doubt we'll let Andy McNeill play in the cup for Edinburgh City on Saturday for the same reason. And I doubt we'll let Kieran Mitchell play for East Fi..... Oh wait. -

There was one season - and 80/81 rings a bell - where they "swapped". Scotsport was traditionally on a Sunday afternoon along with Cartoon Cavalcade on STV. -

The New Raith Rovers Thread
Specky Ginger replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I was a wee bit disappointed. When Bill Leckie said the night would finish with a song, I thought John Barnes was going to get up and give us the Anfield Rap. -

That's the guy who was sent off against us in the Diddy Cup Final last season. -
The New Raith Rovers Thread
Specky Ginger replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
I meant that Dundee might want him back in January, therefore they might not want him cup-tied by having a clause in the loan. They would have no problem with him playing in the other cups as Dundee aren't in the challenge cup and the league cup is finished before January. -
The New Raith Rovers Thread
Specky Ginger replied to Hank Scorpio's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
If he knows his contract isn't going to be renewed at Dundee and Rovers were to offer an 18 month or two year deal, he might well sever his ties with Dundee without it costing the Rovers a substantial amount of money. Who knows? Maybe Dundee have been impressed with him, want him back, and therefore ban him from playing on Friday. -

It could well be the case that Dundee don't want Byrne cup tied, but, as said above, it wouldn't be McPake or Drysdale's decision. Drysdale doesn't have anything like the clout at Dundee that he had at Rovers. He's not the CEO at Dundee. -

Dunfermline's under 12s got in free as well. I agree that £24 is steep for Championship football, but I also think £15 for a 13 year old at East End is steep. -
You just know they'd hold it in Livingston.

He left for Dundee United weeks before I started going to games. I was at school with his son Dean and his wife Diane took the Tuesday night Cubs in Dunnikier. Very sad news. -
Mighty QP v The streets of Raith
Specky Ginger replied to spiders4ever's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Was speaking to a former Rovers player, based in the west, a few days before the game, who opined that if Rovers stopped Dom Thomas they would win the game. Queen's Park's manager pretty much did it for us. -

So how come Liam Dick missed the Pars away game, after his red at Easter Road, and will serve his second game in our first league cup game of next season? -
Players offering to fight supporters
Specky Ginger replied to standman's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Bobby Wilson would have been the manager then and I can't imagine him picking a fight. In fairness to Wellyboot, there was a ding dong between Connor and fans at Meadowbank. Possibly 87/88 when we punched above our weight for most of the season before running out of steam, and a defeat at Meadowbank effectively ended our title hopes. Some fans turned on the players and I think that's when Connor offered to reason with them over a quiet pint in the Golden Gates across the road. -

Not on that occasion, although him and Yogi apparently had a wee tiff when they were both at Livingston. -

Bobby Barr on more than one occasion during his time at Rovers. And going back a good bit further, although not a player, Frank Connor once opined to a punter, when you were allowed to stand behind the dugouts at Stark's Park, that "They'll be selling tickets for you and me big man." -
Mighty QP v The streets of Raith

Great to go in a goal up. Let's see if, for once, we can start the second half of a game we're leading in fully concentrated and switched on. -

Not happening this season, but it might be more amusing if they passed Cowdenbeath on the way. -
Raith Rovers v Airdrie Utd
Specky Ginger replied to Enigma's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Thought the challenge on Vaughan was a penalty at the time and watching the highlights hasn't changed my mind. Other than that, I thought the ref was fairly decent yesterday. It was a pretty clean, free flowing game anyway, but he did his best to let it flow. -
All the best to your boy Hancock. Decent game yesterday - ironic that both teams scored in the half they were second best in. Airdrie have been a breath of fresh air (both yesterday and the game at the Excelsior) after watching some of the agricultural tactics employed by many other teams in the league.

Brilliant . No wonder newspapers are dying when you can read a report like this for free on Pie and Bovril.
