AIRDRIE 0 RAITH 1 - 4/8/07
Report by Brian Smith
Woke up Saturday Morning, with the normal hangover of too many shots and to much Xbox live, yep the season has started made it to Styx for 10.30 for the standard breakfast of bacon rolls and cup of tea courtesy from Styx saw lots of new faces which is great to see more and more people wanting to travel with Fifes Finest.
| 3 busses headed to Airdrie at 11.15 and somehow I ended up on the same bus as Stelios party tape, which I think had been made up from a rock cd and bananarama's greatest hits, usual banter on the way through with a few entries for worst song of the year but 2 possible songs that might work(which is 2 more than normal) instead of bananarama's "Robert DeNiro waiting, talking Italian" we have now come up with "Marco Pelosi’s playing, he’s not Italian" and instead of “who the fuck is Alice” we have “who the fuck is McManus” but ive no idea who this song is meant to be about ;-) |  |
Arrived at Airdrie for 12.15 when the pubs was busy with Huns watching Caley Thistle great food laid on by the West End Bar, then bus to the game about 2.15. I managed to get in for a child, only £7 woohoo! will deffo be trying that more this season.
Kenny brought the big flag, it always looks great when up and definitely helps for the atmosphere.Was surprised at how quiet the Airdrie fans were throughout the whole game, I don’t remember them singing or chanting at all throughout the whole match

The Rovers fans however were in great voice throughout the game giving great backing to the team. Best chant of the day was Shug's “I cant read and I cant write but that don't really matter cos I come from Airdrie and I don’t have a farm”????? (turned out to be “and I don’t have a father”)
| Great 1 nil Victory, another goal and MoM performance from Super Marv, great displays from Davo Andy Tod, Robert Sloan and Greame Weir, which received the worst red card I’ve ever seen, after the game heading back to the bus a few of us got challenge to a fight by this not to sure if she was a man or a women I think she was a thing with tits saying "fuck off I’ll take you all on" and then we found out one bus would be an hour late so we headed to a local pub but felt we stood out as we were all older than 16 and not wearing trackies and Burberry caps. |  |
Bus was jumping on the way back with the party album in full swing didn't rate the new version of Billy Joel’s we didn't start the fire, where is Lennon when you need him!
Roll on Saturday when it all starts again
