King Kebab Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 There was THREE meetings in 1948 East Fife won 2 we won 1 And what was this “third” meeting, Frank??? You only played each other TWICE in the League back then (home and away) and we certainly didn’t meet in any of the cups!!! FYI, the results in these games were East Fife 3-2 Raith Rovers Raith Rovers 0-4 East Fife If you are including any Fife or Penman Cup ties or even the Wemyss and District Tramline Trophy the argument is void!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank conner Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think East Fife have only spent a season or two in the second tier in the last 30 odd years! I'm sure that's a record to be truly proud of although what do you expect from Kebab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
