Heaton Posted Friday at 12:37 Share Posted Friday at 12:37 Saw the Raith post with the fixtures v us on Facebook. Some cracking comments in there. Effectively we shouldn't bother turning up as they've got more confidence and arrogance than Engalnd fans before the Euros. Hopefully they also get the same response and realisation once we kick off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted Friday at 13:12 Share Posted Friday at 13:12 Hope you enjoy your derbies with Falkirk more than you enjoyed them with us last year. I think Rovers fans are, with the exception of a few moon howlers, less fussed about this than you may think. We know you "fuckin hate us" really . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted Friday at 13:32 Share Posted Friday at 13:32 I think the Fife derby could grow over the next few years to eclipse the Pars Vs Falkirk rivalry. That's not me underestimating it in the current state, however I know Dunfermline fans generally do look at it a little less than Falkirk for whatever reason. I think potentially because it felt more like hatred than a decent local rivalry. Raith's excellent form against us last season will have irked many, even if they do not wish to confirm that. I think things could continue to be quite heated between the clubs leading to an overall bigger feeling around the game. It is already a big deal, don't get me wrong, just I think some Pars fans view the Falkirk thing bigger, I would probably include myself in that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted Friday at 13:35 Share Posted Friday at 13:35 I want to beat Rovers more than Falkirk this season, putting it out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just seems to be a much deeper issue with Falkirk. Worked in their town for a good couple of years, have a few pals who are Falkirk fans and it was pretty clear how much some of their fans really despised us. Conversely know a few folk who are Rovers fans who sure gave it big licks for a while Last year but it never crossed the line into hatred, it was more like banter/rivalry. And that’s how it should be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the fans need a win over them ASAP. Last seasons washout was a huge factor in the poor feeling I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaton Posted Friday at 15:21 Share Posted Friday at 15:21 Raith is the Derby and a rivalry. Falkirk are just scum. It's as pure and simple as that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's been some well publicised disturbances at the last few Fife Derbies but I've also drank pre/post match in Kirkcaldy last season and had no issues. As you say, it's more banter/rivalry with Raith. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the actions of so many young Pars/Bairns over the last few years have been just depressing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in townieland for 12 years and enjoyed the banter. High five to us for being civil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
