Phew we are almost there and we survived!!! Yes folk time to wrap up the season is a coming and where do we look for our football fix, The Euros, The Olympics, whatever you choose I hope you enjoy!  As a Raith fan I should be used to the "sqeeeeeky bum" that comes with the end of the season, but you know what I am not! Last Saturday's (April 28th 2012) match against Queen of the South was one of those games that put the wee heart to the test. A must "point" match to keep alive the possibility of the Scottish First "Fife" division of football.  The sun was shining down on Stark's Park and the game sounded like a wee ray of sunshine on what has been a pretty damp season. Jamie Walker was The Kingdom's answer to Messi by all accounts and of course the player of the year Dave McGurn saving more than our bacon on many occasions! This wee dish of Paella and Bovril comes from the Queens match. Raith 3 - 1 Queen of the South PLEAS

Being a Raith Rover Abroad with Apple products. As some of you know Apple and Flash Player have been at war for a few years now and on most Apple-based products and the Safari web browser, FlashPlayer-based streaming won’t work. A quick step-by-step set up guide. ·       Make sure you are up to date with all your software, if unsure go into settings menu,   go to general,   then you should see the option of software update.   If you are up to date it will say, if not update now. ·       Safari won’t run flash player, therefore won’t play the commentary, you need to use another web browser. There are a couple available through iTunes app store http://www.apple.com/uk/ ·       Puffin and iSwifter are the two that I use on my iPod touch and Ipad 2. (iSwifter is for iPad only)   http://www.puffinbrowser.com/                                                    http://swifter.co/ ·       On your pod, pads and phones you will have the App Store at your fingertips.

Stuck in the middle with a whistle

The season end is closing in on us and maybe in more ways than one the end is near for this footballing year.   It has been an interesting year, clubs skating on the thin ice above liquidation and other having managers that maybe should keep it to themselves more. This serving of Paella and Bovril comes from the not so exciting defeat mid-week at the hands of Livingston (10th April 2012). I know that I have dished up before about the refs but it is a subject that just keeps coming back, maybe to haunt us, and it gets everyone going! Enjoy! PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR MATCH DAY PROGRAMME AND THE GUYS THAT MAKE IT HAPPEN. Paella and Bovril Sometimes people do things that bring out the worst in you, they aggravate your little pet hates, and every football fan has one in common, referees. The man in the middles has had the best game of his life when he is never mentioned. The last thing you want to be as a ref, I think, is to be famous for your last match. Cause if a referee

lost and found in a riot.

Is it me or does it seem to be that when spring has sprung madness is not far behind, riots in my beloved city of Barcelona, last minute goals from left right and centre, men swimming with the boats of Cambridge and Oxford and clubs on the brink of something!  It is the time of year when the some games mean everything and other mean another Saturday not going round the shops (we will have plenty of that in the close season). The season has not been an easy one for Rovers and I for one know that the "at the death" goals have been saving us, and destroying my speakers thanks to the guys at Raith Rovers Abroad ! This wee serving up of "Paella and Bovril" come on the back of two draws and a home win. We won at home to Hamilton in a pretty terrible first half, but more than made up for it with a pretty spectacular (well so it sounded with a pretty long gggggooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllll from the commentary team) second half. Enjoy! PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TE
