It's one of the things which distinguished us out in the past. You always hear people talk about stuff like the Paisley Panda escapades. I absolutely love the petty stuff between clubs. Like how in our 95/96 season our programme editor adding "not playing in Europe" under every Pars player for the derby. I touted making a big novelty knife and fork (cardboard covered with tinfoil) and chasing the opposition up to the away end when they came out the tunnel when I was having a wee turn in the costume. Got vetoed as it might scare the kids. I'd have loved stuff like that when I was a young supporter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Raithie the Rovers fan was Billy Thomson who I hope is keeping well a good lad and a fine amateur footballer. He played in the same team as John Rowbotham the Italian lookalike ref. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a Pierluigi Collina lookalike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother did his work experience with him at school. As a sale rep obviously. Don't think it'd be too great to shadow a referee in an SPFL game... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't really doing anything wrong but got put in the cells and plod let him out after last train out of Glasgow had left. Our bus stopped by the police station after the game asking if he could be let out and put on our bus, plod refused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roverthemoon Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 So it goes to the last game. Hearts seem to have finally got going so hard to see us getting anything out of that. Looks like it’s up to Queen of the South finding a win or taking a point against Dundee (provided we don’t get humped by Hearts). Starting to feel like it will be us against the Pars in the quarter final. Christ knows how that will go if it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysartrovers Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Both sky sports and flash scores have us 1 point ahead of Dundee. It's definitely 2 isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 It wouldn’t be Rovers if we did things the easy way. Hopefully we can get a result against Hearts and secure 2nd place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That Arbroath game looks really, really bad now. It was bad enough at the time, but if we avoided a thumping from Hearts it would probably have been enough for second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dysartrovers Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I had it in my head we were 5 clear and only needed a point from either game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Anything other than a Dundee win at Dumfries and we finish second, unless Hearts put 7 past MacDonald. Otherwise we need to beat Hearts, which looks unlikely. The most likely outcome is Dundee and Hearts both win, leaving us in 3rd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
