East Fife 2 – 0 Raith Rovers

From the Rovers web site

This sounds too good! Was it?

Doesn't even begin to tell the story neebur.
Laidlaw in the Rovers goal saved us from worse.
Rovers were bullied and out-fought all over the park - cracking finish by Kevin Smith who was stronger and hungrier than our defence all day.
Not looking forward to our league cup tie in 2 weeks against the team that scooshed your league last season.

Brilliant result for Fife, two cracking goals too.
O'Kane and page making a good pairing at the back, in fact getting a pretty good back 4.
I was a little worried with no Walker or Fash today but good performance, only one small negative I though last twenty we were struggling with fitness a little however its still preseason and we scored 2 goals so what do I know.

Who's the number 9?

Excellent result. Well done.

Good performance all round from East Fife. The team kept their shape well for most of the match and were deserving winners. However, it is unlikely that we will be playing opposition as toothless as this every week. for a full time outfit two divisions above us I was astonished at how poor the Rovers were in the final third.
Clearly it is difficult to judge how well we will do until the league settles down, but there were solid, encouraging performances all over the pitch today. Would still like to see another forward added but Kevin Smith looks very much in the mood as captain - the Rovers defenders found him a real handful.

Credit where its due, thought you guys looked very good today. Two good goals from Smith and Page. Our lot didn't look the least bit interested in trying to do anything. Naysmith will surely now be the next best thing since sliced bread with the fans haha

It has taken 15 years but I've finally seen East Fife beat a Raith Rovers first eleven. 2 Injury time goals made it all the sweeter! No.9 was Craig Sutherland - Holds a US scholarship in soccer, has played for Blackpool, Plymouth, Woking, Queen's Park, Cowdenbeath and Stenhousmuir

Great result today, still say team looking good!! No 9 was craig sutherland I'm told Big Cheesing today Raith fans!!

Also I've never seen goals celebrated like that in pre season before in my life. Must have meant a lot lol

Raith fans must be worried after that performance today!! Poor is the word :-)

It meant as much as the piss poor passing from Raith that the supporters kept clapping.

How many times did Raith play the ball to feet in the final third of the park. ...................all.

Who scored the 2nd goal ?
Oh, and I haven't seen any post from Mr Angry or his cronies. Wonder why? I think I know, nudge nudge.

Come on Raithlad have you forgotten how to celebrate a goal. Your next goal should be celebrated by a weeks holiday. So far in the pre season friendliest They have been as common as rocking horse sh--

Page-a header from a corner.

One championship team defeated two to go, roll on already preparing for falkirk

Rovers had a lot of possession today and dominated. East Fife have the killer touch though and showed today

Guys it was a pre season kick around, nothing at stake no points, no next round of the cup, Nothing!! Some are just a little excitable that's all!

Pfffffft Raith dominated, dont think so, must have been watching a different game or colourblind!!

Watch this 'if' we 'do' win the league Mr angry might sue the club for changing his mood and not another season of disappointed he hopes for, He'll be back next week for sure.

Mr Angry will implode if we win the league

The hungrier team won today and if you keep that form up for league and cup games you should do well. By the way who was your number 4 today his dying swan after not being kicked in the head was one of the best I have seen for a long time. So good luck for the forth coming season I hope you have more highs than lows.

Rovers dominated possession but we broke away well most times. The lino's were just very poor in the final third I can only remember Goodfellow having to make 1 or 2 saves and Couser had a stroll last 20 minutes he was on. The shape first half especially was terrific but I feared the worst when Slattery, who was playing the anchoring roll, went off at half time. At 0-0 I thought the game was going nowhere and I would of been happy with that but 2 Injury time goals... For the Raith fans who claim the game didn't mean anything? The 400-500 you brought along seemed to think so when we had about 140 tops . Excuses and sour grapes get you nowhere in life let me assure you. And can someone tell me where the few youngsters were? Seemed like a full team when we had Walker, Fash and Campbell out, 3 of our key players. A forward playing at centre half in O'kane No.4 and a right back playing at left back. You got well and truly humped but all the best for the season

Forgot to say that Craig Wighton was also missing.

DL,
Well said, even for being a Raith Supporter you usually get it on the button are never impolite on our site, which is more than can be said for some of our supporter? Mr Angry his level headed, insomuch as he drivels from both sides of his mouth, he is an utter tit who would be banned from most other sites. Jack as usual wasn't at the match I don't suppose or he would have seen McCord coming on, you couldn't miss someone with ginger hair coming on surely, I suspect Jack is a keyboard warrior. As for M14 Ultra, far from being the hard man leader of the Bayview casuals he is a specky 14/15 who could not lift the skin of the top of a rice pudding. It is just as well your neds were put on a bus to Kirkcaldy our spotty faced we turds would have got a real hiding, most are still at primary school. You are welcome on our site anytime.
