Passionate

Whatever happens on Saturday Levein and all his media mates will be moaning good style about the pitch, to be fair you could record his interview just now.... The sport scene cameras will be there apparently, probably get a 2 minute highlight reel before they gush about the old firm again

8th yes I suppose is the target, we are currently 4 th on merit, why not strive for 4th place there is a difference of 140k between 4th and 8th, that would surely help with next season's budget or ploughed into the academy ....

Do you guys think McGeady could back himself into the job, The high wage does nothing mantra sometimes ends that way... I am still putting my money on McCall

Unusual or is it, McCabe on one of his recent interviews on DTV was very coy when mentioning he had a wish list for the newly opened transfer window. Since then nothing, I think we will announce Megwa in a big way till end of the season, (he is on a season loan anyway) it's all smoke and mirrors, Teams below us are panicking big style Ayr, Arbroath and QP all having new managers with Arbroath and QP strengthening and Ayr will probably have to do the same after binning Bullen.. This league changes very quickly , things have been very good recently, but the same squad issues remain the same.. Come the end of the season, we don't want to have any regrets and a couple of additional options this window, will certainly help us no doubt about it..

Wouldn't be surprised if Ian McCall got the gig again, would imagine he would have a clause in his Clyde contract for a full time club etc, not to mention Mark Kerr has just been appointed 1st team coach at Clyde also, McCall it is guys written in the stars..

I wouldn't be concerned too much although although United are rotten, I cannot see them dropping too many games second half of the season... It always looked to outsiders that Raith would internally combust eventually, wonder goals, late goals you must have picked up around 20 points doing that (well done etc). My main point is I think Ian Murray will now attempt to grind out results and play more conservatively, that's in his natural DNA, he was never a particularly positive or expansive manager and is probably out with his comfort zone, Watching Murray take a meltdown last week yanking off Easton, Vaughn and Smith all top players and replacing them with Connolly, Hamilton and Gullan just shows the depth you have in those areas...

Martin Compston gtf. Rhys McCabe should be played by Sean Bean

Some nifty footwork , you must admit.. Enjoy your Saturday brers

I read that and i take all of McCabes interviews with a pinch of salt , we have had a great week 3 wins and gave ourselves a bit of breathing space over the bottom clubs, The facts remain we are the lowest scorers on the league away from home 6 goals from 9 games and 7 points from 9 games, so that needs to improve second half of the season our home record is actually better than Raiths and United big difference is goalscoring and their away records are top class (apart from playing us). We are currently in 4 th place and the difference between 4 th and 8th in this league is about 140k, I would think it would be worthwhile to strengthen in the right areas and give ourselves a chance we are currently there on merit...

Exactly, we have found ourselves 4th in the league, and our mindset should be changing slightly, 8th place has been the non club mantra all season, yes we would be happy with it, survival and all that. With a bit of ambition and get a couple of quality signings in this window, we could then aim to finish as high as possible.. The last 2 games especially have proven how good a side we can be.. Teams around us are and will strengthen this month, we must be active also..

When Megwa was signed it was stated that he was signed until the end of the season, I have not seen anything official to say that has changed.. It is clearly stated on the official website, The season long loans also include Murray Aiken and Josh O Connor.. What other positions do we need to strengthen IMO a left sided attacker in the mould of a Zanatta of Hamilton or Reilly of Dundee both would give us added options as scoring goals even after other recent performance needs to improve.. probably an additional Centre Half on loan wouldnt gonna amiss as cover and let Rhys play midfield where he can pull the strings...

Let's not let the Megwa situation blinker us, even with Megwa in the side we still need a minimum of 2 January signings. In order for us to stay in this league, as last night showed anybody can beat anybody in this league and will be tight right to the last game IMO..

That's good that David Hopkins influence is beginning to show on the field,

How many Raith fans making the trip, your travelling support has looked decent, what do you think 800..

I threw that name in, I am sure Raith signed Paul Harvey and Davie Kirkwood off us as well, good players, agree about Bonar he came through the ranks, but after his move he faded badly ended up playing for the Rovers and Rob Roy in the juniors..

Firstly the performance from Airdrie against ICT was excellent, and as big Duncy said a good technical side.. Recruitment and resigning,, firstly recruitment if Megba goes to the Hibs camp, we always have a chance of getting him back late in the window, but we have big games coming up this month can we wait for Hibs to decide, or do we act now, probably yes we need to source additional players to supplement and improve our weak spots, we won't push the boat out, i am confident of that, i expect other teams below us to "go for it" signings wise.. Resignings... I thought it was interesting that Raith gave Murray a contract extension, Raith know that Murray will be on the radar for another raid on the Premier League, they will get well compensated if and when that happens... Rhys McCabe is not at Murray's level of experience that won't stop Raith taking him off us for example if they want him, for minimal compo, The club has to be more forward thinking with all signing deals, one year offers just let teams like Raith take players off us, Easton and Smith the latest, Paul Bonar if you want to go back a few years.. Under JB he got stung giving Kenny Black a multi year contract, and then decided to slash his budget dramatically and couldn't afford to pay him off.. IMO the club now have to be proactive and keep their prize assets for as long as possible and if they do go on to bigger clubs which is fine we get decent compensation for them..

Personally think he will return to Hibs after today's game, go to dubai for the training camp, good chance Aiken will be be away as well, and will probably loan us him back at the end of the window, that happened last season to a player in League 1 last year, i think he played with Dunfermline (??)

All teams will try to improve their sides, and no doubt have to push the boat out, the finances between championship and L1 are massive , our recruitment continues to be sketchy at best, Rhys having a wish list is great, getting the business done is the hard part, injuries aside we still need at least 2 starters... Not heard any rumours although the Consilium list will be getting carefully followed. Onwards and upwards

Don't think it will be too long before Lidl has the cameras installed, I got stung at Broadwood Farm recently picking someone up and got a nice Euro Car Parks ticket in the post for my troubles, Everywhere is exploiting this now, thankfully we only charge 3 quid for a square of tarmac, Falkirk having been charging a fiver to park in a puddle for years

How the f**k did you guys end up in this state off the park,, did you see this coming or did the blazers blind you with full-time football, training ground , SPL etc, to me Haughey and Dempster are the organ grinders and the blazers are the safe in position puppets with no relative power or heart to challenge "the man".. How far are you guys prepared to go to get your club back...

How much influence does Haughey have, is it his way or the highway or is he just the money man and let's be honest if there is nothing in it for Willie he will scuttle it, it's what he does..

Disappointed you never mentioned Simon Murray (I know it's in the past( So f**k Simon Murray ginger diving b*****d

What a weird game, we looked like an average League 1 side again first half, with a poor Queens Park side looking the much better side, Airdrie play better on the front foot with a fast tempo far too often we let games drift away like the first half today, Second Half was more like it, first to the ball, wanting second balls and more importantly having a purpose to score goals, Telfer was again outstanding, Hancock his usual solid shift, Todorov has scored in this league before, he isn't pleasant on the eye, but caused the queen's defence numerous problems, took his deserved goal well and a very important 3 points looking at the scores again today. Big question was Gallagher injured or just yanked at half time inorder for the match winner to come on.. Any signing rumours, still think we need 3 players although been saying that every January window for years now..

How are the roads around Hampden, travelling from North of City roads still pretty bad round here, nobody out due to some game on the telly..
