*****Official Raith Rovers v Rangers Match Thread*****

[allgers 735]

3-0 to us with Halliday back and slotting right into that DM role.

[allgers 735]

Oh and try and make that an early first goal lads, my fingernails won't cope with another game like the last one.

[BridgeIsBlue 66,606]

As long as we win both halves I'm not overly fussed.

[NeoGeo7 10,505]

Hate to say it but I can see a Morton type game tonight, really hope I'm wrong and hopefully with added competition in the forward areas there will be increased performances.

[B1872 20,702]

Is radio Scotland doing commentary of our game? Not sure if that's part of their boycott.

[giffnockger 4,840]

Sure it is old and it is beautiful ??????????

yeah and you are Pele I'm sure.

 

Tell me who this lad should be playing ahead of on merit? I'd love to hear it?

 

I just don't see the point in developing someone from Arsenal who quite frankly isn't as good as players we have on our books. Bar his first game and some nice touches here and there he hasn't turned up.

 

Your Pele comment only serves to highlight what I perceive to e immaturity on your part.  

So you seem now more concerned that we are developing youngsters for other clubs?  Loan deals serve to help both parties that is why we too send players on loan.  How do you feel about developing Billy King for Hearts?

We have no one in our youth ranks who is a better option at this moment.  I believe that is why MW sends players like young Walsh out on loan.  Hope that answers your question.

You pose the question about who he should be ahead of in the team as if there was a binary answer, there usnt. As MW says it's a squad game.  I would play him today for example at Starks Park but would not play him in the cup as we may reuire more physicality in midfield versus Killie.

 

Anyhow TV SETUP, printing ed and good to go, hoping for a convincing win but ultimately will settle for three points.

 

[TMB 14,167]

I'm looking forward to this one.  Hope some of the new lads get a start.

Anyone know where's best to park tonight? 

[Gaz52 11,837]

Big game tonight and no doubt a tough test but I think we'll do the business and move 11 clear. 4-2 Rangers

Nah m8 sorry

[LeeWallaceRFC 3,920]

6-0 (O'Halloran x2, Waghorn, Holt, King, Forrester).

Why not, we beat them 5-0 last time around.

[rfc1990 1,140]

First away game for me in a couple years. I'll take full responsibility if the unthinkable happens and we don't win...

[giffnockger 4,840]

And it's colours they are fine (tonic wine) ?

Hibs play tonight and we will only move 11 clear if they get beat by Morton.

 

[Moody Blue 9,349]

Lets hope for an improved performance as the last two have been poor when compared with Hibs, Dumbarton and first half against Livi. Noticed this as preview on sky's website: -

"Raith Rovers could hand a debut to Harry Panayiotou, who has joined on loan from Leicester City, in Tuesday's match against Rangers. Rovers match against Queen of the South was postponed at the weekend and the 21-year-old could plug the gap left by Mitch Megginson, who has joined Alloa Athletic.Lewis Toshney, Iain Davidson and Mark Stewart are involved after shaking off knocks but the injured Craig Barr (groin) and Lewis Vaughan (knee) continue to miss out."

Cue MW comments but, meaning no disrespect, there is NO WAY we should drop points to pish like them, high tempo and rip this no mark club a new one please.

They will. Heard it here first

Conditions will be poor tonight so I think we'll win ugly.

2-1 Rangers.

Is Holt and Halliday back in?

If not we may struggle again, midfield can't really afford the 2 of them out at the same time (same issue as with Law). Zelalem is a passenger and the team gets a bit disjointed without the midfield presence.

 

Halliday is back from suspension and Holt had an injury but he should be fine for tonight.

Don't see any reason why Halliday wouldn't start. MW said Holt trained but wouldn't risk him if he didn't feel he was up to it so I guess we'll just have to wait and hear the team news. If Zelalem starts we won't win 6-0, has about as much creativity and attacking prowess as somebody who doesn't have any.

If you get there before kick off there may still be a space in front of the raith goal.

I half expected this.

"He's only 19". Ffs, Denis Law was an established international by that age so hardly makes him a wonder kid.
