Can anyone recommend any decent Kirkcaldy boozers open at 11.00 tomorrow? Cheers

Novar Bar is a decent pub open from 10am tomorrow. On Nicol Street, 10 minute walk to Starks Park. Likely the home support will be in it but they'll cause you no problems whatsoever

Further away on the High Street, but still only 15 minute walk to the ground, if you want a quieter pint, the Penny Farthing is open from midday. Locals know it as the "Bent Penny" ....it was never officially a gay bar but it was where the local pooves congregated in the 80s. It's perfectly safe!

The Exchequer is also on the High street just along from the Penny. Opens at 11. Never been in it 

 

EDIT....Totally forgot it's a midday kick off so forget about the Penny

The 4.2 assumes & includes a £1 stake. 

 

Oke doke, cheers for explaining that. Basically the bookies trying to make their odds appear more attractive. Similar kind of shite happening in the supermarkets last couple of years. Disguising price increases by charging the same price but making the products slightly smaller. Cunts think we're stupid. I need to chill out getting to much like Victor Meldrew ?. But your probably to young to know who that was.

Trust me, I’m old enough to know who Victor Meldrew is.

I don’t believe it!

Private parking companies don't take legal action to pursue these "invoices" in Scotland (at least for one off cases anyway, they might well do if you are piling them up with the same company) because it costs them more money to go through the courts than they would actually receive from the invoice. Rules in England are a lot tighter, and rumour has it those rules could be coming to Scotland next year, but for now these "invoices" can be safely ignored.

It's only the police and local council ones that you have to take notice of because they can and will enforce. ParkingEye, Euro Car Parks etc are just utter bandits - check out the Pepipoo online forum on Parking Charge Notices for a bit more info.

That’s not true. It’s not because it costs them more money. They can even try to pass this on to debt collection agencies, but you still don’t need to pay.

The reason why they cannot enforce the penalty is because they cannot legally apply the fee unless you admit to being the driver. This is why the advice is never to respond and just throw the letters / paperwork in the bin. Be careful as well as the website links also try to get you to admit who was the driver of the vehicle as part of their verification process.

The DVLA will only clarify who is the registered keeper and under contract law, this is insufficient for prosecution unless they can prove (or get you to admit) who was the driver.

Is this the right thread for discussing today’s game? Just checking……

Despite last Sunday’s multi changed team, shit show but late late victory, there will also be mega changes for today’s game. 

Something like:-

Lewis

Gurr Gallagher McCrorie Hayes

McGeough Campbell Ojo

McGinn Jet MacLennan

 

[Zeus]

4-1 us. 

Jet, McLennan, Gurr, Ramirez

Thanks both.  Interesting.

Jet will come good 

[StandFree1982]

Mackenzie will likely be out after coming off injured on Thursday. Probably best not to push it and keep him for next week.

Game Day!!!!!

Love the first month or 2 or a season where there's games coming thick and fast and the expectations are high! Even last season under McInnes we were playing good football for a while. Didn't last.

Good game to give Ngwenya a run at left back then

I very much doubt he'll start with anyone outside of the 11 Thursday and the players who played v Livingston.

Woods might get some time though. He'll be rotting on the bench for the whole season unless he gets these kind of games

I'd play Woods in the cup if I'm honest.

Agree, perfect opportunity to get Woods involved

[red kelly]

who made sad hat login, el presidenti?.

someones got tickets on themselves. 

 

 

[aberdeen1970]

Aye, can see a fair few changes today. 

Hopefully not a banana skin. Chance for a few that have been on the fringes to make their move. 

 

 

[Crossbow]

One of the two trophies we have a realistic chance to win. Need to have our heads screwed on properly and not try to be too clever with team selection as Raith will be very up for this. 

[Woodside Don]

[Crossbow]

Hope that McGinn is the number nine. Will be a hard day otherwise as JET is not one. Happy to be proved wrong. Think this’ll be tough. 

[WesthillWanderersFC]

What do we think?

                   Lewis

Gurr Gallagher McCrorie Hayes

                  McGeough

          Jenks.              Ojo

       McGinn JET McLennan 

[muttonhumper]

Seven 1st picks on the bench.

Be Interesting to see the strength (or not) of our squad.

[1983]

This feels like a very big match for McGinn, even this early in the season.

Was miles off it against Livi... needs to show something today.

Completely. He needs to snap out of taking 3/4 touches of the ball and start letting the ball do the work. He’s capable, but he needs to step up a few gears and play at the new tempo

Aye that will be it. 

A few folk called that team up above so fair play 

Chance to see if Gallagher and McCrorie can form a partnership. 

One or two of the front three could use a goal today 

[Ten Caat]

Well I said I wanted players rested for this match and I sure as hell have got my wish

It will be a difficult match bur Raith have been shipping a fair few goals so I expect us to prevail in the end.

[aberdeen1970]

Will be interesting to see if that midfield 3 works as a unit
