Halbeath Raith Rover

The vast majority of fans would have taken top four this season. We're well ahead of that so far. Five points from the last five games is a poor return, however if we win the next home league game, we would go in to the next Utd game guaranteed that we could go level with them at the very worst. I think the Arabs will pull away from us and win the league fairly easily, but lets try keeping in touch with them, rather than looking over the shoulder, as long as we can. Hopefully the two week break before the next league game allows us to get players back from injury and/or recruit. Corr looked alright today and Turner looks to be a good adddition. The atmosphere at home games has been poor. The South Stand holds 3k even without the removed seats at the front. Im sure we can find space to accomodate a singing section that would get things going. Might be something that can be looked at prior to season tickets going on sale for next season.

Is Matthews injured ? 3 at the back or a winger at RB ?

I'm getting the East Stand too... has the Livi website maybe somehow got your account down as a home fan ? Maybe worth clicking the link from the Raith website and creating another account with a different email.

Tom still not backing down re McGinn

Unless someone is occupying or lodging without permission the police aren't interested: https://www.askthe.scottish.police.uk/view-category/?id=cc59a670-06f6-eb11-94ef-002248405a51 The Pars have done the most they can in terms of a club issued ban, but it's no different to your local pub banning you, if you get caught sneaking in the worst that will happen is you get kicked out/ a temporary ban will be extended. If two people commit the same crime within a football ground, one won't get a more serious punishment due to having been banned by the club. It's a complete irrelevance. Having previous convictions and violating a court issued banning order is a different story.

A club ban has no real implications other than the club won't sell them tickets, and will throw them out if they find them in the ground. No one will get charged if they ignore it. The club may just lengthen the ban. That's not a criticism of the pars, the only trespass in Scotland that is criminal is on the railway. A court issued football banning order is completely different and has much more serious consequences.

Not someome I'd like to see in a Raith strip.

No complaints with the result. The Airdrie right back was absolutely superb all game. In general Airdrie stuck to their game plan and after 270 mins we've got no idea how to beat them. We won next to no second balls, amd we were careless with our passing. Keeper was the only player I thought did well for us. Connolly improved things and I would have him start next Sat. We're way beyond where we expected to be in the league, but the last few games have not been pretty to watch.

Definitely true... cheap tickets generally go quickest on these days too.

Nervy afternoon but after seeing us take 1 point from 12 v a Pars team that got relegated in 12/13... I'll take it. Any one know how many Raith fans were there ?

superb.

I don't remember us taking 2000+ to East End since the 2011 promotion game, so it's shows how far we've come that some people are disappointed with that. Our away support has been class this season so hopefully gives us a lift tomorrow.

I don't care if the pars are playing the under 12's due to injuries, I'm still wanting to see Brown and Byrne start together in midfield.

Louped the barrier there a few months ago glorious feeling. 10 mins later a random guy gave me his day ticket for the subway which I took as a sign from God to bump the bus station toilets everytime in future.

It was a bad night at the office for Raith. Showed some character to get back in to it but we didn't show the same levels of quality as against Utd or the majority of the Thistle game. It's hard to be too critical of players who have been exceptional recently but had an off night last night eg Byrne and Kev. Everyone at this level has a mistake or a bad game in them. Ayr pressed us well and coming forward in the second half at points, you would have thought they had an extra player or two given how vulnerable we looked. We got away with the draw but I'd like to see Murray change things for Arbroath... maybe to a 4,2,3,1. I think Connolly deserves to come back in and offers the legs to get back and provide wide defensive cover when needed. Would be good to see Matthews get at least a cameo too. 3 points v Arbroath is crucial as we then have what are likely to be two very tough away games.

Definitely agree with this. The last trip to East End it was well publicised by the club where the young team were going to be, so you could join in or avoid. No one with any sense wants anyone not to be able to see, however the atmosphere created at points last Sat was superb and probably played a big part in getting us the win. Hopefully the club can publicise a singing section prior to the next trips to East End and Tannadice (Tannadice is the more critical as theres always room to move at East End)

1. Booing Santa. 2. The standard of Santa provided by Celtic:

Maybe as simple as them making the seats available for the first time since they were in the SPL and forgetting to update the prices.

Like the look of that team, with Gullan and Matthews getting some time on the pitch if we are ahead.

A few more tickets up:

There's still a fair amount of tickets not yet released in the stand we're in.

Might be a bit of a bump if/when the buses go to general sale too.

Vaughan I think. Appreciate that's a big and potentially unpopular call though.

Agree with this and if everyone bar Watson is fit, I'd play Byrne and Brown in midfield with Stanton ahead of them.
