How to Listen to Raith Rovers abroad on iPad, iPhone and Ipod touch.


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.  Tap on App Store and type into the search “puffin web browser” or “iSwifter”. Charges may apply. (79c here) 

iSwifter (iPad only)
·      Is mainly for playing Flash-based games but does have a browser.
·      Once you have downloaded the app, open it up. It may crash a few times the first time you use it, be patient.
·      Once it opens you will see a webpage with the address box at the top. Type in http://raithroversabroad.net/ and you will be taken to the page.
·      Continue as you would normally
·      iSwifter can cause the audio to run slower than the chat box, so you may see the goals in text before you hear them.

Puffin (iPod touch, iPad and iPhone)
·      Once you have downloaded the app, open it up. It will open a page that looks like any other web browsers.
·      Type in the address box http://raithroversabroad.net/ and you will be taken to the page.
·      Continue as you would normally
·      Puffin can cause the audio to run slower than the chat box, so you may see the goals in text before you hear them.

Formulaic fun

The festive season is creeping up on us and there feels like no escape. We can only hope that the weather is kind to the Scottish football grounds. A few weeks ago the topic came up "what would you change about the scottish game". This wee serving of Paella and Bovril gives you an idea of what I thought. What do you think? This was first seen in the Programme of the Scottish Cup tie with Deveronvale on Saturday 1st December. Raith went thru to the next round with a 2-1 win Paella and Bovril It seems that every 5 minutes somebody somewhere wants to sweeten the Scottish game it by changing it’s structure. Mix this division with that league, add a dash of grass roots, stir them about and voila! -the perfect cocktail of football. Well that is what they keep promising to serve up to us. What would give Scottish football the perfect flavour? Regional divisions or fewer teams, maybe bigger leagues; but what about the actual 90 minutes? On a recen...

To quote a great Mr Simpson "see you in spring toes"! It is the festive "fat-up" here in Barcelona. I am in the middle making my THIRD Christmas dinner in less than a week! In 2013 I think I will be staying out the kitchen for a few days and running a wee bit! This serving of Paella and Bovril comes from the Fife Derby against Cowdenbeath on the 29th December. After a being 2 goals down at half time Raith came back to get a point. Enjoy. PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR MATCHDAY PROGRAMME. Paella and Bovril When I was a wee teenager I would regularly be found on a football terrace. Being a pupil at Balwearie High, just behind the railway stand here at Stark’s Park, meant that I could use my “study” periods to come watch one of the reserves games that used to be regularly played.   Of course you do not expect a large crowd at these matches, I am sure that at some of these games I was the only supporter there. But it was a reserves match ...

day out at the football!

The calm before the excitement Monday morning has never been my favourite period of the week. This Monday, I have to admit I feel a little tender.  I decided that cause Raith were having a big day at Stark's Park, I would have a "big" day in Barcelona. But I did not think that this was going to happen. Scottish football ain't a big crowd pleaser in Catalunya so trying to find a host for my day out was tougher than I thought. This serving from Paella and Bovril comes from the Scottish cup game against Celtic at Stark's Park. Raith played well and the 3-0 defeat does not reflect the performance.  PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TEAM Paella and Bovril Unthinkable to believe that Stark's Park has never played host to the miles of cables and the numerous cameras that come with live games. The ground's previous live TV outing was seen in Iceland when we played host to Akranes.   How exciting today the stadium will ...
