Scary Bear Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Might as well start a thread. It’s going to be on telly so someone will be watching. Can’t just be me, although I might flick over to the Liverpool game if it’s shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hope Killie triumph so Fife derby doesn't get rescheduled. Just once would like it to be on a Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 £20 at the gate made this one an easy miss. I quite enjoy a midweek away game, but with everything that's gone on it didn't take much to make the decision to stay home for this one. Selfishly, I really hope we win this one because I've got a wedding on the Saturday of the final weekend, and we're supposed to be playing the Pars at East End. Presumably the final will be played on the Sunday, and I'd be able to get to that, and the rearranged derby. On its own merits, aye, not overly bothered either way. It'd be nice for John McGlynn to finally get a team to a final, because he's won three semi-finals previously and never made it to the final, but I fear that if we do win tonight, it might mean the unleashing of World War Three. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did cross my mind. Either a sacking or WW3 seems certain if we win tonight. I’m not especially bothered if we do win or not, but a final with Queens could be a good day out depending on where it’s played. I think we’ll win because it’s very Raith Rovers to do so, while going through a dreadful run in the league. The smart money is on us to progress here and lose on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definitely have vibes of Grant Murray era Rovers, where we could seemingly never buy a league win and then miraculously put on a performance in a cup tie before reverting to type for the next league match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fide Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Couldn’t give too much of a f**k about this. League has to be the priority, but a win would be pleasing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I wouldn't normally be bothered but it is an opportunity to try and win a game. At this stage we need to beat someone, anyone at any point in any game. Kilmarnock to rin out 3-1 winners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Brad Spencer and Ethan Ross back on the bench, which is great to see, and McGlynn has learned from the back three debacle last time at Rugby Park and has kept the same starting setup as Saturday. There were positive signs on Saturday so I don't think there's a huge amount wrong with that. Another 90 minutes without a goal though and I think we need to try two strikers to see if they can shake something loose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Same dire forward line. Kilmarnock whatever raith rovers 0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Are BBC Alba the only broadcaster still routinely using SD cameras? Are they recording onto VHS too? I'm watching on the laptop and the quality of picture on the wide shots is worse than RaithTV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Lively start and could easily be 1-1. Zanatta has looked more dangerous in the first 10 minutes than he has in the last 10 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If either team is clinical they could score a few tonight, by the look of it. Very open game. We’ve wasted a fair few good breaks already in addition to the great save from Zanatta, and I’m not sure how Killie conspired to not score their one-on-one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I do like how quickly the Killie fans got on Naismith’s back, and how dreadful he’s been ever since. Terrified of the ball coming near him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just now, Against The Machine said: SHORT CORNER To expand a little - that's yet another one that hasn't resulted in the ball actually entering the box before we lose possession. I'm not against short corners on principle. You can use them to change the angle for a cross, or to find an alternative route into the box if you don't think you're going to win your headers, but we routinely do absolutely f**k all with them. You've got Christophe Berra who's in the top three most natural headers of the ball in the division, and you're making him run an extra 100 yards there and back for absolutely no reason. Utterly maddening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
