Only decent thing is Thomson and Duggan back on the bench. In fairness, Milne, Wedderburn and Flanagan especially needed game time on the back of an interrupted pre-season. So I don't actually mind them playing too much - yes, an injury would be a massive set back given our small squad but on the other hand that very small squad necessitates us having evetyone operating at peak condition. Davidson was bound to play. Would probably have dropped Murray and Gillespie to allow Stevenson or Berry and Valentine some game time right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding Dang Doo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 This cup really is a joke and just need scrapped. Can't think any teams actually make money out of it. I know if you get drawn away to any of the Welsh or Irish (and now English) teams the SPFL give you a contribution to your costs (£5k I'm sure but maybe someone can confirm) but I know any team who played away last season lost money. I've no doubt by using the floodlights etc tonight we will be down.I'm actually amazed we got that much tonight so fair play to anyone who went down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 It's also an utterly wrong view, I've got an unbiased view of Queens Park but if I was to suddenly say they should be challenging for the Premier league title it wouldn't then make it a fact would it? Not really, if clubs like Dunfermline, Falkirk, Patrick and United were in the top league like they really should be then Raith would be in the very position I said... They’re better supported than Hamilton and Livingston. Raith are underachieving, so are Dunfermline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a top end Championship side/lower end Premiership side, we're right where we should be and deserve to be.

Ancient Mariner Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Wedderburn deserved MoM, a different player than on Saturday Milne and Flanagan will do this club proud. Watson far better than his few games last season Good performance all round. Best to come out of tonight's match. Duggan and Buchanan did nothing to justify starting against The Fife No goalkeeper in Scotland would have saved the Aberdeen goal, well applauded in the South Stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Johnstone are just as big as Partick, Falkirk and ourselves, if they were in the championship you'd inevitably be telling them they're underachieving, it's nonsense. And Hamilton and St Johnstone are bigger than Raith so even if they dropped down would you expect Raith to finish above them? There's a bunch of clubs of around similar sizes in Scotland and not all of them can fit in the Premiership, that's a good thing as it creates good competition in the championship, you can't say though that four teams are underachieving in the championship when there isn't space in the Premier for them? And we've not even mentioned Ross County, who although with a smaller fan base than the teams mentioned (although larger than Raith) have a generous owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we've not even mentioned Ross County, who although with a smaller fan base than the teams mentioned (although larger than Raith) have a generous owner. This about sums it up very nicely. There's varying differing attendance tiers in Scotland. Some clubs go between them, others stay static. The Pars fall into a category with Dundee, Falkirk, St Mirren and St Johnstone who are all teams who'll go between the Premiership and Championship. St Johnstone currently have been in the top flight for a good few years, but will fall down at some point when things come about. Clubs like ourselves, Queens, Morton and Ross County probably have a naturally level of mid table Championship with the occasional spell in league 1. Some clubs defy the expectations or rules in one way or another. Accies seem to pull a rabbit out the hat each season and survive at the top. They've achieved far more than us over the last ten to fifteen years in the way of promotions and youth talent they've brought in. Ross County have Roy McGregor propping up the club on the back of Global Energy Group. Livingstone somehow got promoted against all odds. I'm not sure why anyone would be too bothered about the goings on at other clubs. It's pointless until we get ourselves back up in the Championship, and look to see how we can grow as a club. We're at least making the right moves with steps like the new app released, and trying to get more ideas into the club to make things more engaging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Anyone know the last time we had a lower crowd than last night? My initial thought would be the mid-80’s, possibly before I started going, but I’ve genuinely no idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was before I started attending but I've seen it mentioned a few times as a low point for the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Wedderburn and Murray both picked up knocks last night and will be assessed prior to the game on Saturday according to the Courier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
