The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Just to let the Raith fans know that my pal and former Raith player from the early 90's, Phil Burn passed away last weekend. He played 60 games for Rovers before heading over to ply his trade at Ballymena. A great lad and only 43. Here's a little obituary from Ballymena's website http://www.ballymenaunitedfc.com/

Very sad, RIP Phil

RIP Phil, sad news.

I remember him. From memory he was at Starks around the same time as Damien Dunleavy. Only 43! RIP

Sorry to hear about Phil Burn. He was just breaking into the side when I started going down to Starks so would have come through roughly at the same time as players like Shaun Dennis and Ian Ferguson.

It would be nice if there is a tribute at our next home game.

My lasting memory of Phil Burn was making me feel shit on what should have been one of the best days of my young life. Rovers mascot for the first time and he made a cruel jibe about my long, skinny legs.

Chafing his ears...

(or was that East Fife)

Going by bus you will be doing well to get back to Kirkcaldy before half 8.

Think I am right in saying Dingwall is around 165 miles and the A9 aint the best.

I managed 2hrs 35mins Dingwall to Inverkeithing earlier in the season.

And to answer the obvious question, I wasn't gunning it.

I bet there wasn't a soul in sight until you got to Perth, that would've made it well easy.

Fair to say 'bigeein' has taken a bit of an owning there.

Aye, he seems to have just gone a bit mental. Or be a bit mental. Still, keeps the bruises off the wife, eh?

Oh God, I've gone and started reading FanTalk. I've managed to steer clear for a couple of months, and I'd forgotten how fucking terrible it is. I sincerely hope I've been "April Fooled" by the bloke who thinks that a lack of an April Fool's Day gag on the official website is indicative of the clubs attitude towards its supporters.

On a separate note, does anyone still buy a programme? I noticed that Stirling Albion now do a monthly magazine instead of matchday programmes, and it looks like a decent piece of work, from the one I had a peek at. I was also thinking that the "Manager's Notes" bit from the programme could be stuck onto the website every week or two, as well as a wee update from board level too (if there is anything to report).

I think the guy was serious about the April Fool's Day thing, mental I know.

I never buy a programme these days. I don't like carrying them about and I don't collect them, so if I did buy one it would just end up floating about the house for a bit then getting recycled.

I know Eric has a look on here so can I just say that's a tremendous post he's made there. Firmly put the guy in his place, without coming across as condescending... which must've been difficult..

Edit: Grant, I'm not sure how over the years you lot have managed to spin that goal into a last minute goal, but there was a good ten minutes left. Late nonetheless, and a sore one. b*****ds.
