The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Noticed on Twitter they've unpinned the post about McNeil re-signing.  I'm 100% reading too much into that and hoping it's because there's going to be some signing news today.

Talking about foreign players from the 90’s, who remembers the right back from Finland, Jani Makela (or something similar) had a blonde ponytail, a long throw and was pretty decent if I remember correctly!

A right back of his calibre for next season would be dandy.

Noticing this suggests way too much time spent on Twitter 😄

Perhaps the strip release.

Absolutely. Throw in former kitman Brian Marr as well as his nickname was Gunter.

He was the goalkeeping coach when I was training with Kelty. Brian was a good man

Played 31 games, his only goal was a last minute equaliser against Cowdenbeath, Rovers were twice 2 goals behind finishing 4-4

I'm sure he scored a goal against Airdrie in a 1-1 game at their patch?

The most memorable foreigner from the 90’s must have been Odd Arild Skonhoft, he of the one appearance against the Pars.

Looked it up, it was 2-2 and it wasn't the league it was the Scottish Cup. He scored in the 13th minute.

I'm hoping for two bits of great news around teatime.

Rovers signing, and the pigs getting skelped by Denmark!

Few things to comment on her.

Hanlon is 100% a starter if he signs.

Stevenson is not playing LCB if we play 3 at the back.  He would be LWB.

Soren Andersen and Kent Bergerson were class.  

Janne Makela was also brilliant.  Finnish international (20 caps) who I always thought looked like he was actually too good for us.  Didn't ever go on to do too much after us though. Spoke to him briefly before a game at Tynecastle and he was a decent guy too.
