You're an exceptional ambassador for the Scottish game and a brilliant storyteller for these magical nights in football! It's a national embarrasment that our mainstream channels, press and journalists with much bigger platforms are so poor in comparrison
Sam has no bias to any team in Scotland. which is why his channel does well , most reporters in Scotland are a fan of a particular team so can never be impartial 👍
Watched this game in the US on Paramount+, the second half was just a fun watch. I don't have a team in Scotland and honestly I prefer the Championship games of SPFL coverage as the chances of a good two hours of watching football are high.
i can help. just check LivesoccerTV for daily listings. Not all the Champ games are on, but a lot are. For the Rovers, you also can buy a montly pass for RaithTV (or season). It's on raithrovers.net. Home games only, so two games for the price on average. The commentators are "local" and far better than their league peers. Helps if you know what things like "a wee dunt" mean, but you'll be fine. COYR! @@rubberband1929
Spoke to a thistle fan on the way out the stadium and have to say the ones I’ve spoken to, both whilst at home and at away games are genuinely decent folk! COYR
The passion of the fans, especially visible on a night with horrid weather, makes games like this one even more special. The roar of the crowd, the ebb and flow of their cheering from both sides. The second division, anywhere you see it seems to have an intensity that some top tiers just can’t match.
I went to see raith today. 5 chant overall. 2 sung by kids and 3 sung in 1 stand. Terrible atmosphere. A kid drummer didn’t know what to do ! It sounded like the adult drummer didn’t show up. I hope it was a one off!
Great coverage of an amazing game. I still expect Dundee United to walk away with the title, but Rovers have every chance to be promoted if they go on like that. Very impressive campaign so far, which I did not see coming at all as someone who also follows all leagues in Scotland
Our plastic pitch is better than any grass pitch we've had since we built the new stands in 1996. Would be sad to see it go as it's really helped the club grow as we train on it, and can rent it out for community use. Friday was one of the most amazing games I've been to in a long time though, wish I'd known you were there before now
FABULOUS Match. :-) Generally ‘Firhill Fir Thrills’. BUT...They Were ‘Dancin’ on The Streets of Raith’ Efter This One. Rovers Play Some BEAUTIFUL Fitba Firstly Under McGlynn and Now With Ian Murray. LOVE The Championship. Great League. :-)
I wish I'd watched this game as a neutral because it was a 7 goal thriller. Unfortunately I watched as a Jags fan and was gutted when we lost after being 3-2 up. Dundee United and Raith Rovers are running away with the league this season and that's unusual for the championship so fair play to both of them. That said all it takes is a slight bad run from either of them and Partick or Dunfermline could be right back in it. Well played Raith, get you next time.
There are a number of First Division teams of my youth in the Championship and lower. Namely Dundee United, Dunfermline, Partick, Hamilton and Falkirk. The Premiership is too small, should be a minimum of 16 teams better still 18. With two lower divisions of 12. That's 42 teams, same as now.
Been saying there should be 16 teams for a while now. Even if it doesnt change the old order at the top those teams you mentioned and a few others could guarantee some good games and derbies with the existing prem sides. Lets hope this happens someday soon
@@fraserabel8600 I was going on recent as well as ancient history, in terms of support once you get away from old firm, Edinburgh, Dundeex2 and Aberdeen there's not a lot to differentiate the rest. Some have had a brief period of shining brightly then fading for decades. Like leading Bayern 1-0 away, or beating Hamburg SV 4-2 on aggregate. Supporters of small clubs should cherish these memories.
Be nice to see raith in the premier league, the last time they were there was the 96-97 season when they were relegated. I was not old enough to remember them being there. Partick and dumferline are great also seen those sides. Rather any of those sides than dundee united but its gonna be a tall order for raith to keep up pace with them but the pressure and the match next week between dundee united and raith is a big one.
@@donalonzo63 I can believe it don, the fans I've bumped into over the years. I'm really hoping Raith do it this year x First Celtic kit.... 86 First Scotland kit...87 I think.....tartan trim and tassels.
What a video mate! Always hyped when you post a video and in my opinion, you’re doing videos from the best country in the world. Especially the fav RUclipsr doing it for what a cracking game. Me looking on OneFootball and the score keeps going up 🤣.
Great stuff. I watched the game from the comfort of a sofa in NYC, but watching RaithTV as the dialect on Paramount/CBS is a bit unintelligible. 😜, Keep up the good work. See you in the top div.!
Is Bovril just a UK thing? I have never heard of it or anything similar at US sporting events. If it's cold we usually drink coffee or hot chocolate, or just try to finish your beer before it turns into a slushy
It's a hot beef based drink and it's great on a cold day or night at the fitba,a pie n bovril was/is the staple diet for many fans over the years,and the bovril is great with pepper.
Probably the EFL 2 or the National league the standard would obviously be higher if there was more money up here and the fact that people from towns like Kirkcaldy etc support or more likely say they support one of the old firm,it is a very competitive league with a few teams of the same size as in fan base with Dundee United being probably the biggest team in the league.
Yes Raith Rovers have been in the top flight before the last time Raith Rovers where in The Scottish Premier Division was season 1996/1997 the same season Rangers clinched 9 in a row they have not been in the top flight since that season. When Raith Rovers where last in the top flight it was known as The Bells Scottish Premier League ( Bells Whisky) at that time they Sponsord all the Professional divisions in Scotland after the following season 1997/1998 Bank of Scotland took over The Sponsorship over The Sponsorship & The Top Flight in Scotland changed name to The Scottish Premier League Irn -Bru sponsored Divisions 1,2 & 3 after that for two seasons I think it was if I remember right. I can remember Raith playing Bayern & Also beating Celtic in The Coca Cola League Cup on pens. Alan Shields Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland.
Saw you at half time when you walked infront of me and my son. We both said 'hi'. My son then told me that you were the guy from Footy Adventures so I guys he is a fan. I ask him if you were like The Oldham Groundhopper.
Raith Rovers:- 1994 Scottish League winners (2-2 beat Celtic on pens) 1995 Uefa Cup v Bayern Munich(Christian Ziege,Dietmar Hamman,Mehmet Scholl,Jurgen Klinsmann,Jean Pierre Papin etc) Raith 0-2 Bayern Munich Bayern Munich 2-1 Raith Rovers If i remember they had a few Scottish internationals i.e. Stephen Crawford,Colin Cameron,Dave Narey! Famous fan-Ex UK prime minister,Gordon Brown
Livingston,Ross County and St Johnstone to name 3 teams that RR could probably compete with although I think Livi will get automatically relegated and St Johnstone will,pull away from the relegation zone,but if they did go up I don't think it's a given they would come right back down.
Nice one mate!
Thanks for watching! Much more to come!

Outside of online streaming, I had no idea a game like this would be possible to watch.
Raith are on another level this season. Would love to see them back in the Premiership ❤
Me to bru... Best o Luck Rovers. I'm a Celtic fan, but Raith, I have a wee soft spot for.
@@Scottie444Surely your lot will bump their little gums about another "artificial pitch."
@@Alan_Wigz not me though Alan...I'm more concerned we haven't got the striker needed when Kyogo doesn't play.

Glaswegians. We are sound mate..ptfc
As an Auzzie Jaggie have to say there's quite a bit of respect for your club.
Also shout out to big Kev. What an amazing keeper he's turned out to be!
For what reason is he known as "Big Kev" ?.
@@UnbelievableEricthegiraffe because he's big and called Kevin.

Good game seemed , and well done Raith Rovers they deserve to go up .
Awesome vlog. Great early morning viewing in Dallas TX.
96/97 was the last time the Rovers were in the Premier League Sam.
Scottish football is CRAZY
I'm from Yorkshire.... I'd rather watch Scottish Football.
@@Scottie444Good lad.
@@donalonzo63 it's more than my love of Celtic don....it's the full thing pal. I can't wait for Clarkie and the boys too. 😀
@@Scottie444 Heard recently that per percentage of head count of the population of Scotland, Scottish football is the most supported in Europe 👍
@@donalonzo63 I can believe it don, the fans I've bumped into over the years.
I'm really hoping Raith do it this year x
First Celtic kit.... 86
First Scotland kit...87 I think.....tartan trim and tassels.
Great content mate!
Brilliant match and as you say, the best league in the country.
I watched the game on TV last night and it was such a great game, with quality football. A match that had everything!
They were in the Premiership in the mid 90s.
Really enjoy your videos, especially this one and the last time you were here!
Would love to see Kevin Dabrowski in the prem as a NO 1
still wish he was a Hibee
Your loss was our gain. He has pulled off some great saves to keep us in it this season He is a character, the fans have really taken to him.🙂
l'm a United fan but l hope Raith do come up. Hopefully in the play-offs.
What a video mate! Always hyped when you post a video and in my opinion, you’re doing videos from the best country in the world. Especially the fav RUclipsr doing it for what a cracking game. Me looking on OneFootball and the score keeps going up 🤣.
Smashing video. Love the contents bro 🎉
Nice to see my cousin Robbie back on your channel pal thanks for that 🙏💚
It was a great game last night, especially the 2nd half!
Come on the Rovers! 💙
Premiership next season?
@@FootyAdventures Ayr will
@@FootyAdventures I hope so it would be amazing for the fans, the club and the whole town! Just can’t count the Rovers out this season, let’s go! 🥳
Great stuff. I watched the game from the comfort of a sofa in NYC, but watching RaithTV as the dialect on Paramount/CBS is a bit unintelligible. 😜, Keep up the good work. See you in the top div.!
What was the deal with Partick's kit - they looked like they were running around in the buff.
Sort of gear you have on just out yer bed 🤣
They are.
Scored at starks park a lot of years ago …against Ross county , and the old bayview also against Ross county
Still the best Football Show on the Go Nothing as real on sky sports or council Tv
Watched it on bbc Scotland what a fantastic match Sam .i love watching the championship best league out there.
Was there mate and saw you just before kick off, what a game
Wales has some stadiums that you would love . First on your list should be Merthyr town fc stadium, Penydarren Park. Its got your name all over it :)

What would be the equivalent standard in England? National League or National League North/South?
Probably the EFL 2 or the National league the standard would obviously be higher if there was more money up here and the fact that people from towns like Kirkcaldy etc support or more likely say they support one of the old firm,it is a very competitive league with a few teams of the same size as in fan base with Dundee United being probably the biggest team in the league.
I CAN SEE AND HEAR THE JAGS GROUND FROM MY BACK YARD FA
Yes Raith Rovers have been in
the top flight before the last time Raith Rovers where in
The Scottish Premier Division was season 1996/1997 the same season Rangers clinched 9 in a row they have not been in the top flight since that season.
When Raith Rovers where last in the top flight it was known as
The Bells
Scottish Premier League
( Bells Whisky) at that time they Sponsord all the Professional divisions in Scotland after the following season 1997/1998
Bank of Scotland took over
The Sponsorship over
The Sponsorship
& The Top Flight in Scotland
changed name to
The Scottish Premier League
Irn -Bru sponsored
Divisions 1,2 & 3 after that for
two seasons I think it was if I remember right.
I can remember
Raith playing Bayern &
Also beating Celtic in
The Coca Cola League Cup
on pens.
Alan Shields
Hamilton
South Lanarkshire
Scotland.
Fifes finest without doubt
There needs to be 12 teams in the Championship.
❤❤
I was at the game it was amazing #RRFC
Saw you at half time when you walked infront of me and my son. We both said 'hi'. My son then told me that you were the guy from Footy Adventures so I guys he is a fan. I ask him if you were like The Oldham Groundhopper.
It's always raining in Kirkcaldy but made up for by the welcome
Raith Rovers:-
1994 Scottish League winners (2-2 beat Celtic on pens)
1995 Uefa Cup v Bayern Munich(Christian Ziege,Dietmar Hamman,Mehmet Scholl,Jurgen Klinsmann,Jean Pierre Papin etc)
Raith 0-2 Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich 2-1 Raith Rovers
