Paella and Bovril

My words how time flys! Here we are about to hit December and Christmas will be upon us before we know it!  I am happy to say that this time round "Paella and Bovril" is coming on the back of a Raith Rovers victory. It seems that a few extra heart beats are getting the team  going. Sad times also in football this weekend with the passing of Gary Speed at the weekend. My thoughts are with his family and friends.  PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL CLUB AND IT'S MATCH DAY PROGRAMME. Paella and Bovril Being a fan a one of the smaller clubs could be described as riding roller coaster every season. Will you go up, will you go down, will you get a wee cup run and now we have Can we pay the bills ? to contend with. Clubs for sale, stands closing, players not being paid are now all too familiar in football all over the world. It is a ride every football fan wants off of!   At times like these you can find yourself wondering why? But what we need to do at times l...

OMFG the weather here in Barcelona has me searching for two of every animal and a wikihow video on "how to build your own ark!"  Gosh it does seem like ages since I have been able to post the latest "paella and bovril" with a Raith Rovers win behind it! However even from a far I know that support is what needed, from everyone! I hear that a solar related publication may have headed it's lines with something a tad upsetting for those reading and from whom it came! Just remember that a newspaper is now yesterdays news! With twitter, facebook, the whole world wide web to keep your news, today's! I suppose I am trying to say that teams like Raith need your support,today, tomorrow and for years down the line! PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TEAM AND IT'S MATCH DAY PROGRAMME! The last few months have work have been a bit hectic to say the least and I have been working more hours than usual. A few weekends ago it was to be my first weekend “w...

Gosh it seems like a life time since I last served up a Paella and Bovril! I have been trapped by the wonderful world of work and have been out of contact with the real world for what feels like years!  To those who are new to Paella and Bovril or a thinking of trying this a a football blog, but a wee bit different. Even if you are not a fan of the mighty Raith Rovers you will still love this blog! This weeks wee serving is another blast from the past and will contain a "letters from Barcelona" from last seasons match day programme against Stirling Albion. The summer leading up to this letter home was filled with the stories of the Chilean miners!  Hope you enjoy this week side serving of Paella and Bovril! PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL MATCH DAY PROGRAMME! Letters from Barcelona Summer is drawing to a close here in Barcelona. My tan is now just a few freckles and I have swapped the t-shirts for a jumper. It is still 22 by mid-day most days. I have swapped my morning ...
