Is the new Raith Rovers youth coach the same guy that was giving Baikie at Arbroath?

Yes

How'd ur team get on today fatboy

I popped along today to pratt street to see some former ef players (whom maybe we are interested in, i dunno)

anyway based on the performance i saw today, NO WAY in a million years would i take fairbairn back to bayview, he was s*ite to say the very least, the only positive thing he done all day was won raith a corner near the end.......ball greedy, useless when on the ball, had no vision of who to pass to, nothing changes then...

as for McManus...he also done nothing worth noting either except looking shocked when he beat a player in the box and toby'd in past the cowdung keeper....then he went back to sleep...crap...no use to us i say, fair enough he scored a hat-trick the previous game but look at his over all form this year....

only player who was worth noting who created chances for them was the Trialist they brought on, seemed to have vision and good positioning...made the quick pass when needed and caused the cowdung defense a wee problem when he was actually given the ball....

As for cowdung, they were the better team today, looked far sharper than raith and more threating upfront for the whole match, made some neat passes at points....although at others they were hidious...i really shi*ey game of football all over tbh....but least i know now not to get excited about any mcmanus bid....

also worth noting that at half time ryan blackadder came out as part of the raith past players things to jeers....jelous maybe?

Spy, how would you know what sort of form McManus has been in? He's been out injured for a fair part of this season. 4 goals in his last two matches is pretty good though.

Was it scary for you to be in such a big crowd?

Heard a rumour (probably shite though) that Blackadder was going back to R**th and Sean Kilgannon was coming to 'The Mighty'.

Jonathan, wasn't scary at all, i was bored stiff, nill atmosphere, for a crowd like that.... :S

and i was talking to alot of raith fans before and during the game about mcmanus so my opinion of his form is based on the views of your fellow raith fans, however i did overhear in the stand "if that bid rumor is true and he DOES go then thats us fuc*ed then"

goes to prove the tallent you've got no?

I would have thought that his goalscoring record for Raith speaks for itself really?
