parsforlife Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Is there anything that gets anywhere close to the hardie free kick? It's a cracker of a goal in its own right but for what it meant it's going to trump everything else. No need to post it, we all know how this it looks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to post it, we all know how this it looks But for a few inches, the best derby goal issue would have been settled with the Kirk volleyed effort off the bar from a lovely flowing move. Would have been a sensational goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was during the covid season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we had the bombscare that was Andrew McNeil who I never really had any confidence in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) If we’d kept David McGurn in goals instead of Andy McNeil we’d probably have went to East End Park top of the table rather than second. Absolutely inexplicable to bin one of the best goalkeepers I’ve seen in a Rovers jersey for someone who was complete tripe. Did enjoy arguing with a Rovers fan in the pub after the game who said McGurn had been brought on at half time for McNeil and it was him who conceded the two goals. He refused to believe that McNeil had just changed his top during the interval. Edited September 11 by McGuigan1978 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it was about ten mins in, there was a long ball over the top that McNeil left that ended up hitting the crossbar… you could tell then it was going to end in disaster! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andriy_Parmolenko Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Got absolutely no idea what to feel about this one. Still a bit worried about our goal threat, and not really sure what to expect at all from Raith. Rough start for them but as has been said many times in the thread already, they've got the players to be right up there. Absolutely desperate to get that record in the bin though. Embarrassing set of results for us against you lot last season, and if we're anything other than right up for it from the first whistle then I'm gonna be seething. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised to see McPake emptied if we win this. Equally, if we lose, there's going to be a lot of pressure on the team to turn things around. No idea what to expect here, really. Freeman and Stanton should be fit to start, not sure about Vaughan. For me: Dabrowski Freeman - Hanlon - Dick - Stevenson Byrne Mullin - Stanton - Easton Smith - Vaughan (if fit) Edited September 11 by Michael W 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be similar, the only questions are about left back - is Ngwenya fit or does Otoo play there - and if we continue with a back four do we keep faith in Fogarty and Young while Benedictus, Fisher and Breen could be available (I would, but Bene is the captain and generally starts when fit). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But personally I'd stick with two up front - Smith is lost as a lone striker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why, but that leaves us with little midfield cover and we're not the most energetic/mobile in that area right now without Brown. Get Easton and Gibson up with Smith when we attack and Stanton and Stevenson running from deeper, we could be OK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d imagine the Dunfermline owners can’t really be bothered with changing the manager given they’re wanting away and their dislike of the fans. Equally the club is going to look even less attractive a proposition to any buyers in League One, so if McPake looks like actually taking them down I’m sure he’ll get the bullet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bene’s not available, so I reckon we’ll stick with Young and Fogarty. Both have earned their spot, ahead of the others who have been poor so far. Ngwenya is a doubt, so I fully expect Otoo at LB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reference to it in Simon Inglis’ authoritative Engineering Archie, or his earlier work Football Grounds of Britain, other than mention of a “Leitch-Style gable on the roof bearing the initials RRFC” suggesting, at best, a pastiche. Consulting local archives, a lengthy piece in the Dundee Courier from April 1922, outline Rovers’ plans to construct a new grandstand, pavilion and offices at a cost of £10,000, following the club’s full acquisition of the ground. The architects are detailed as William Williamson and Geroge Deas of Kirkcaldy. Edited September 11 by CountryBumpkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
