The Tiel Burn Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Asked for my Dad who is on holiday and Raith TV are also streaming so a months subscription of £20 gets you the next 4 games if you are "overseas" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven’t had any success in nearly 30 years. If you want to boast about mediocre league positions being better than our poor ones or winning laughable cup competitions then the wee team tag certainly fits 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAFC. Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Personally I don’t care about Raith games too much. Aye there is a wee bit of added spice, but I get much more nervous with the auld pride against them clowns over in Grangemouth. As for the actual game, I honestly can’t see us losing. Our record at EEP under McPake is sublime, and they haven’t beat us at home in about 15 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be shite. Couple of day outs in finals mind you, but always ending up in defeat…. I guess beating both sides of old firm in cup finals isint for everyone…. Nothing will ever be more fun than watching a stadium full of Rangers fans empty in a huff while you watch your club lift a trophy. A great day for the good guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've spent two seasons above us "in recent times" one in the same league when we had the biggest jokes of Scottish management in charge hilarious comment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning the League Cup in the 90s was a great achievement and should be forever celebrated.

The "townie" patter is as bad as the "wee team" patter and both are as equally brutal Imo. As for tomorrow, 4-2 win rovers win or turgid 2-2. There is no in between. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Dunfermline will always be the Townies much like they say we'll always be the wee team. These names just stick and appears they will forevermore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However In my time supporting Dunfermline I've seen us in the top six of the top tier, I've seen us play in Europe, I've seen us in major domestic finals, and of course I seen that 2011 season. Which is one of two times I've seen Dunfermline promoted from the second tier. If I'd supported Raith I'd have a challenge cup, hold. me. back. I'm not even young anymore, if I was on FM I wouldn't sign me because I'm too old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 There's getting less and less people alive who could say they've seen dunfermline win the Scottish Cup. You can't even say you have so it seems a weird brag @HoBNob All said as someone who seen every major trophy win, Europe etc. I sadly wasn't alive to see our highest ever finish though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m in my late 40’s and have seen us promoted twice to the top league, the Coca Cola cup win, play in Europe, finish top six in the premier league, beat rangers in a « diddy » cup final and win promotion from 3rd their a few times and another diddy cup , happy days tbh but the real test of whether Dunfermline are a big team or not will be if there is a decent meal deal offering tomorrow Edited August 25, 2023 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't trade anything Dunfermline have done in the past 30 years in exchange for the look on my Dad and Grandads face after we won the league cup, to be honest.
