Well what can I say, Raith's season is off to a tremendous start and what is even better is the goals are just flying in! What a great job and I will be watching in a few weeks! This serving of P n B comes from a 7 goal thriller against Montrose in the cup In between my sunbathing and general meltingnuss (YES I know that is not a word but no Scotswoman should be baked in 35 heat in her own bed! ) I have been following the ups and downs of Scottish football, although it is very hard to imagine those cold terraces whilst picking sand out from your toes!  So here we are a hot dish of Paella and Bovril awaits!  PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL FOOTBALL TEAM AND MATCH DAY PROGRAMME! Paella and Bovril Being proud of your team is part of being a fan, wearing the team’s colours, flying the flag, even taking to the streets to show how much you love the team.   Or so I thought! I have been living in Barcelona for nearly 6 years now and in that time have

After a couple of weeks of Olympic fever it is time to settle down to some football. The season is here and we were treated to a Raith win at the weekend.  This weekend also saw the return of  raith rovers abroad and it was nice to get back into the swing of things, even if I did have to have an ice lolly at half time to cool down here in Barcelona!  Next game is the 14th of August 2012 so if you can't get to Stark's Park, bring Stark's park to you!  This serving of Paella and Bovril comes from that match against Hamilton, which saw Raith win two nil, with goals coming from the man of the moment Brian Graham.  I hope you have not had too much Olympics as this P n B has an Olympic feel. Enjoy. PLEASE SUPPORT LOCAL FOOTBALL.   Paella and Bovril Oh my gosh it is hot out here in Barcelona. Sometimes it can get too hot. So why in such heat was I chasing a flame around the city? Cause the Barcelona Olympic flame was giving us locals a wee taste

Start the season with the name in the hat!

Phew we have made it! After a summer of sport we are back with the nations favourite, the footy! We are ready for 2012/13 to thrill us, chill us and above all make us cheer!  Paella and Bovril is back for another season and I hope that this season servings live up to last years!   "Paella and Bovril" first appeared, and still does, in the Raith Rovers matchday magazine. To those new to this blog, I am a wee Raith fan, based in Barcelona, who likes to write about football.   Not your game analysis, players stats, but just a fan writing about being a fan! Hope you enjoy! This weeks dinner plate sized offering is from the cup game Raith V Berwick Rangers. A 7 goal match that saw Raith's name making it into the hat for the next round with a 4-3 win!  So here we go, I hope you enjoy the fresh, hot, new hot plate of "PAELLA AND BOVRIL" PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR CLUB AND THE MATCHDAY MAGAZINE !!
