Attempting to decamp from the Twitter binfire. Still Raith Rovers. Still hate sparkling water.

I have a bad feeling Ross County's luck is about to run out. Would be a disaster for us if they came down.

If anyone needed an illustration of the gap between the Championship and Premiership, St Johnstone finished the season with a squad of 45(!) and have been relegated.

That took me right back to last season.

We are still in it, at least, even if that was not an ideal result. At least we know if it's possible and what we will need to do before we play QP. No surprises.

This seems unideal ahead of their most important match of the season.

There is not a more predictable starting XI in the league than our own.

We won't be finishing 4th this season, so at least we've taken the chance to sabotage the chances of tonight's opponents doing so.

Oh look, we're now losing. Unacceptable.

Appreciate that it's not his squad, but Robson's use of subs (or more accurately, lack thereof) is already becoming tedious.

An absolutely dreadful game of football. It would've finished on minus goals if it were possible to do so.

Nothing about that match is indicative of how the rest of our season will go. The gap is simply too wide. Use of subs was a bit concerning though.

Really not pleased to see him blatantly making things up here. Negative fan comments came only when it was apparent to all that he had downed tools.

Michael Watson @watson2711.bsky.social · 25/01/2025
To paraphrase, he's not expected back anytime soon. Was delighted with this signing when it was made, but he hasn't done what we hoped he would and his inability to stay fit has proven infuriating. I don't think he is suited to full-time football.

Stanton being sent to a team in the league below, on loan, tells you absolutely everything you need to know.

Michael Watson @watson2711.bsky.social · 19/01/2025
Massively unexpected win, with several players missing and a bit of a thrown together team. Absolutely fair play to Robson for seeing that through.

Of all the reasons tomorrow's match might get called off, "gas leak" was well down my list.

Hanlon injured in the warm up, 2-0 down in 15mins. A dismal start. Probably get a red card as well today to complete the misery.

David Martindale doesn't half talk some nonsense. Complaining about Livingston having no money whilst they pocket c£1.5m in parachute payments and UEFA solidarity payments. Funds that no other club at our level benefits from.

That's another excellent win. Only a point behind 5th place now and with a game in hand.

Delighted for Aidan Connolly. Looked like he was on his way out, but he's been a breath of fresh air since coming back into the team. Great to see him back at his best.

The last 12 months in Raith Rovers: a thread. Raith Rovers are 2-0 up against Arbroath, who have so few substitutes they need to put their reserve goalkeeper on as an outfield player. He scores from 40 yards. Arbroath go on to draw 2-2.
A substitute footballer prepares to take a shot from 40 yards.

More competition whilst we are also seeking a new manager is far from ideal.

A big, big result. Undeserved lead at HT, but we were much better in the second. Probably a bit fortunate overall, but what a night.

An absolutely dreadful performance. Even the penalty was the worst that I've ever seen scored. And yet, we lead.

Nothing like a silly light show in an near-empty Hampden. An absolute embarrassment.

1 point away from home all season and several players out. Never mind - mon the Raith.

Reflecting a bit again on the result - really hope that's something we can kick on from. I know the Pars are having a similar season to us (i.e. crap), but we were missing a few players today. There's a lot to be taken from today. The overriding emotion remains relief, however

Michael Watson @watson2711.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Nearly the weekend. And it's derby day tomorrow. Not sure I've ever looked forward to it less.

If Brown is out for any length of time, we are in big trouble. I was working on the basis we likely wouldn't retain Dabo after January, but that's another problem potentially opening up. This season, eh?

We need January. Badly. The squad that finished second and lost none of its key players is just miles off it. Whatever the reason behind that, change is needed.

This was obviously entertaining for those watching, but a score of that nature at HT is quite pub league.

We needed that today. Lower level opposition, but 1) an away win and 2) putting a few goals past the opposition. Both rare.
