It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, this whole debacle will have on Raith's form going into the final stage of the season.

I really enjoyed the first paragraph of that post

Ten man Arbroath, looked a harsh red card to me, hang on to deservedly take all three points. A bonus to see big spending Kilmarnock slip up but nobody can now write off the part timers as genuine title contenders. Essential that we win tomorrow to stay close to their tails.

A big few days coming up. This Morton team, under new management, will be a very different proposition to the one we put six goals past in our last league encounter. We will need to be fully focused but six points from these two games could go a very long way to securing a play off spot and even getting us back in the frame for the automatic spot.

One disappointing aspect of this is that while high profile fans and sponsors took a principled stance and many long standing fans and unpaid volunteers at the club did likewise often with heavy hearts and tears in their eyes, not a single one of the experienced male players in the first team squad uttered a single word of concern. Just as bad was the silence of the vast majority of ex players and journalists who make a living from reporting and commentating on the game. It was left to the ordinary people to force the club to do the decent thing.
-
Not to mention the £50,000 transfer fee paid to Clyde. With that, paying up his contract and the on going loss of sponsorship and other goodwill it is likely to prove a very expensive error of judgement indeed.

Hypocrites, the only thing they got wrong was underestimating the reaction from the decent people associated with their club and the wider football community. They knew exactly who they were signing and were prepared to take wnat they anticipated would be a day or two of minor flak. Well done to the women and the men who stood up to them, often at personal loss to make them see that there is, thankfully no place for an unapologetic and unrepentant rapist in our beautiful game. To the decent women and men of Kirkcaldy and beyond, take a bow. To the board and manager of Raith Rovers Football Club, hang your heads in shame but please learn the lesson for the future.

The difference being that in 2016-17 we were hurtling towards relegation wheras, despite poor results and performances, we remain in contention for promotion with no threat at all of dropping down a division. There may well come a time to discuss the manager's future but not until this season has been concluded.

I susoect he will be playing in the Championship next season.

I see that our promotion rivals have signed a player who has been judicially determined to be a rapist to bolster their chances. The player in question is a good and experienced forward who may indeed score or provide enough goals to see them get up but at what moral cost ? I am truly glad that we did not go down that route. However, it does appear that there are some decent people attached to the Kirkcaldy club with two directors , including Val Mcdermid, the fan liaison officer and the captain of their women's team, who had been with the club for over a decade, all resigning. Whoever is promoted, I sincerely hope it is not Raith Rovers, Shame on them.

I am a big fan of women's football which should be promoted and given much more attention than it does. Our women can only play the opposition in front of them but results like these do the cause very little good.
-
My thinking is that we are still in a decent position in the promotion race and we should fully back the man appointed as head coach at least until the end of the season. Should we fail to be promoted, either directly or through the play offs, then that would be the time for reconsideration. For now though, we need to revive the spirit of togetherNESS.
-
I thought that was one of our better performances in recent weeks and we were not that far off the pace. Sickening though that the creative spark leading up to the goal came from Daniel McKay who we ourselves came close to securing on loan.

A lesson to the first team in the art of holding into a winning position.
-
I agree. Raith dropping points at Cappielow is a potential bonus but only if we can capitalise on their slip by taking maximum points tomorrow and next week.
-
Well done both to the boys but to the band of supporters who turned up to back them.
-
I think Austin Samuels could be a decent addition. Although he didn't score, my Aberdeen supporting friends were quite impressed with him during his brief loan spell at Pittodrie. Could offer something a bit different and a bit more energy up front.
-
The whole of Scottish football thought we would be whipping boys the first time we were promoted to the top tier yet, apart from a one season blip, we remained there for a decade including regular top six finishes, cup finals and the premier knock out trophy in the land all on poor crowds but prudent management. There is no reason why that can't happen again but the priority this season has to get there which is the frustratingly worrying aspect to our lack of business this month.

You beat me to it. We could do with a speedy left sided features editor.

I can't help contrast our activity this month with that of Kilmarnock. They have replaced their faltering manager with someone who will be, by a margin, the highest paid in the division, brought in Ash Taylor, Kyle Lafferty and Daniel McKay on loan. By contrast, we have brought in a few on loan that, I for one, had never previously heard of. Killie have, for better or worse, bet the farm on going straight back up whereas it looks like we are maybe hoping to pip Raith or Partick to the last play off place That said, surely we now have a great incentive to beat them for the third consecutive time on Saturday.

Not sure whether to be overwhelmed by the fact that he has been, not so very long ago, been on the books of both Manchester City and Liverpool or completely underwhelmed by the fact that, according to Wikipedia, he is a forward to has never scored a senior goal.

Could be the core of the side that gives us our second Scottish Cup triumph a decade after the first.

Could it simply be that Billy Dodds, despite being given his own first team debut by Chelsea at the age of 17, is just not willing to show faith in younger players?
