There isn't a high street in the country that's been as thoroughly ruined in the last twenty years. You obviously haven't visited Kirkcaldy recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in Fife for around 20 years , always thought Kirkcaldy was Ayr’s east coast twin town . So many similarities between Fife and Ayrshire in general : Lochgelly/Dalmelington , Ballingray/Drongan , Aberdour/Maidens … 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be the Lagan Botanical Gardens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then we’re on a good run and Ayr seem to be sitting mid table inconsistent. If we want to challenge Utd for the league (big if) these are the potential banana skins we need to overcome. I’ve no doubt Ayr will want to come to Fife and burst our bubble they’ve beaten Airdrie last fixture something we don’t seem to be able to do and will be looking to keep that going. Plus side Murray seems to have pretty much a full squad to call on if you saw our team sheets last season you’ll understand the difference. No offence to Ayr fans but I’m hoping we can continue the run for a Merry Christmas. Fair play to any Honest Men fans who make the journey for this one. Ayr are still giving away a couple of easy opportunities a game and most teams have been taking them. Had Airdrie had a competent forward on the park, we could have lost by at least 2 goals. Our game plan seems to be, defend like f**k and hope to sneak one on a quick counter attack. Raith will follow the lead of every team that has played us this season and just bombard our right back for 90 minutes.

I think teams have a limit to how many games they can stream. I would have thought the whole point of moving this game to a Friday would be to stream it. more people will buy a stream than will travel up on a Friday night, the last day most people will be working before Christmas. I fully expect a routine home win, with Raith being home and hosed by half time. I do also think that when a team does something good in this league, it is normally followed by a smackdown. Can Bullen mastermind an Ayr win(no) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Feeling strangely confident about this. With a fully fit side and Ayr's rotten fullbacks, I reckon we should be able to do a fair bit of damage to them. Especially if Hamilton is fit to ragdoll the centre backs. Never pans out that way though. 1-0 the Rovers, Josh Mullin 86th minute winner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUcal Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Going to be up Fife way anyway this weekend so I will be in attendance - I hate myself for it already. Where's decent for pre match food and drinks in Kirkcaldy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Presumably this will go down as a 3-0 walkover, with Ayr United FC having no option but to fold entirely after the release of that "Somerset Boab" video. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever you decide, probably worth booking in advance given the proximity to Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid_The_Baw Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Will take a 94th minute winner in this one. Will be good to get a winner in earlier than normal (Saturday being the exception to the rule). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's decent for pre match food and drinks in Kirkcaldy? Aye Novar and Duchess are closest with decent enough food although as said above you’ll probably need to book. If you just want to walk up and grab food there’s also the Exchequer slightly further along the High Street which is your standard chain pub with pub grub and live sport. There’s O’Connells as well but no idea what it’s like as I’ve not been in there in years although used to be fine. Pubs there’s a few at that end of the High Street in addition to the food ones. Montagues, Alfie’s and the Penny Farthing are all fine and no issues getting in. Closest to the ground is The Estuary (Link Street) bit of a dump especially the toilet but never had any problems in there. Obviously some will be busy final Friday before Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
