Raith Against The Machine

Less than three weeks ago we were struggling to get into a game against the bottom team in the league until a referee sent off the opposition's goalkeeper in a scandalous decision. Nobody's out to get Raith Rovers, ffs.

Tomorrow.

Has your "Sporting Director" considered giving any other sports a go? Maybe football isn't for you.

Right lads that was fun, good game, see you all on Saturday. Now, to the Falkirk thread!

Absolutely. He makes such a difference. You can see tonight how the role he fills just isn't covered by anyone else in the squad. Duku could do with turning up here. Whatever happens in the last five minutes this is still all to play for on Saturday, but a late goal would be a hammer blow for either side psychologically.

Ever?

IMacDonald injured. Brilliant.

"Have you picked up a knock there, Stevie?" "No I'm alright, hold the Mayo"

And if he lifted an espresso cup to his lips, every one of his facial features would disappear from view. Big heid, toatie wee face.

You struggle to see where a Rovers goal is going to come from. Probably Tumilty? We're doing nothing middle to front, especially compared to the Pars who've flooded forward several times after turning the ball over. Makes it all the more galling that we threw away our first two corners. Chances are going to be few and far between. Short corners in and of themselves aren't an issue, particularly when the opposition have Paul Watson and Euan Murray in the middle, but failing to find a man with the first and turning into immediate trouble with the second is inexcusable.

Kennedy stepping out of play when faced up by... Declan McManus. Doesn't bode particularly well.

The commentary team pishing their frillies over Falkirk is a great look.

Are we losing Rosyth to a Chernobyl style disaster here?

CORNERS

He had one "big" one in the centre circle when he stopped an attack, but I'd have thought he could still afford one more before he got the yellow.

I enjoyed the one-two that went "Matthews to Spencer to Hendry".

I suppose there's something to be said for the commentator trying to name the Rovers players as they get the ball, despite clearly having no idea who they are, what they look like, what position they're playing or what number they've got on.

Only his choice of football team.

Wilson being out could be the deciding factor. He's your Matthews.

McManus, Wighton and O'Hara all start. Is this what's happening? I haven't been paying much attention to the Pars' line-ups recently - has he had a few runs out in midfield? Seems like madness on the face of it. The Rovers line-up, on the other hand, is exactly the one everyone could've predicted.

It's almost like he's played more than three games for us.
