Paco Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I suppose you could argue Smith was the width of the post away from winning the league, and had the best ever points tally for a runner-up in this league. Maybe he could take us up and we could let him go at the end of his contract? Without another full-time team in the league, maybe we don’t need wholesale change. Absolutely clutching at straws here. Can only hope we start well, otherwise things are going to get poisonous very, very quickly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This much is true, but it really is incredible watching a club make hilarious mistake after mistake within such a short space of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev23 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I don't agree with it but he needs to bring in a team that suits the way he wants to play. The league title is the aim and I'll not complain if we don't play pretty to win it however I couldn't tolerate another year of aimless punts to Buchanan. In fact, I don't think I can tolerate another year of Buchanan at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was an opposition fan I’d be pishing myself laughing too, but hang on as inept and feckless as we undoubtedly are we still took maximum points of the mighty Mentil Milan, so perhaps you aren’t best placed to crow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I think there’s a few overreactions here to be frank, as Paco said this side earned the highest points tally to not win this league. McGlynn took us up with less points, as did Calderon. The fact of the matter is there were two full time teams this season and one of us was always going to win it, next season it’s only us that will remain full time and we finished streets ahead of the part time teams. Sacking Barry would clearly cost us, perhaps money we can’t afford and there’s no guarantee whoever comes in isn’t going to be a disaster, it’s a case of better the devil you know here. If we can replace some of the shite in this squad with some semi-competent players we’ll be absolutely fine. Part time football and a new manager could see a repeat of the Dalziel season down here. Pretty much Barry & FT football > ??? & PT football 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngmcnaughtleigh Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Not giving my age away but I've had a season non stop since 1963 There is nothing absolutely nothing happening now that's new You either support Raith or do not I understand the frustration but that's what goes with this territory Stick with it better days are coming At least my grandad told me that and he never lived to see the league cup win or the fish and chip cup victory 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) Bring in two prolific goalscorers and not get anywhere near the best out of them. No plan B and like for like subs Gaining 48 out of 54 points at home and still not winning the league. Poor away form. Mental fragility in big games and away games. All failures associated with our management and yet we're keeping him? Piss off. Edited May 8, 2018 by Michael W 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 This is what happens when you have a board made up of folk who've never had to make any real business decisions in their life. They make not just the worst but completely horrific decisions that kill a business. We had 1200 season tickets last season and I'll be utterly amazed if we get anywhere near that now. I'll certainly not be renewing mine and neither will the folk I sit with. Spineless, gutless, clueless. Another example of "you fans just sit down, pay your money, keep us in jobs and do what you're told" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Is keeping Smith at staying FT really that bad?You’ll be the only FT team in the league which is a big advantage. You were one of two FT teams last season but finished well ahead of the other 8 teams. If Smith stays and you go PT then it’ll be a worry but at the moment I’d say you’re still favourites for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 It's been an absolute chore to watch smiths brand of football this season. Even if he wins us the league next season it will be brutal to watch. He may have had a good home record but it isn't that hard to change it up from time to time away from home to try and win games. He's an awful manager and if this isn't his last season as a ft manager I would be very surprised. I'm very dissapointed in the board keeping him on! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you but by the end of the season (long before that with some) most teams had Smith and his Rovers set up well sussed. I wont mention your lot but pt teams like Arbroath and Alloa had the better of us in the 2nd half of the season and Mr Smith simply hadn’t a clue how to get the better of them. There in lays the worry amongst us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Dispiriting stuff. Looks like we are stuck watching another season of Smith. Money talks it seems. No season ticket for me either. Too much risk that the season will turn into a shitfest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
