    Brian Wilson/Van Dyke Parks (yes his lyrics, which are quite straightforward for him?) - Superb Song Though

    Surf's Up 

    A diamond necklace played the pawn
    Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
    To a handsome man and baton
    A blind class aristocracy
    Back through the opera glass you see
    The pit and the pendulum drawn
    Columinated ruins domino
     
    Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
    Are you sleeping?
     
    Hung velvet overtaken me
    Dim chandelier awaken me
    To a song dissolved in the dawn
    The music hall a costly bow
    The music all is lost for now
    To a muted trumpeter swan
    Columinated ruins domino
     
    Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
    Are you sleeping, Brother John?
     
    Dove nested towers the hour was
    Strike the street quicksilver moon
    Carriage across the fog
    Two-Step to lamp lights cellar tune
    The laughs come hard in Auld Lang Syne
    The glass was raised, the fired rose
    The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
    While at port adieu or die
    A choke of grief heart hardened I
    Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

    Raith have backtracked on the Goodwillie signing now though. Now seeking to terminate his contract after the backlash and comments from sponsors, fans, and members of their ladies team.

    Interesting HOWEVER I believe that the damage has been done, and just maybe no way back

    An interesting Statement by Raith Rovers over the Goodwillie signing

    They obviously understood and considered the gravity of what opinion such a signing would make BUT it does beg the question WHY ??? considering the ramifications (losing main sponsor/Directors etc...) 

     

    As announced on our website last night, Raith Rovers FC can confirm that we have signed David Goodwillie from Clyde FC.

    David is a proven goal scorer, and this will be his second stint with the club, having previously played for us on loan from Dundee United during season 2007-08.

    As with all new signings, the club has carefully considered our position as a Community Club and we completely respect the differing views among fans and stakeholders, many of whom we have spoken to directly in the past 24 hours and are continuing to engage with.

    As David has previously played for Raith Rovers earlier in his career, we consider him to be part of Raith Rovers Football Club. The management team is familiar with David’s career and background and – in particular – his footballing ability. That is our foremost consideration, and we believe that he will strengthen the Raith Rovers playing squad.

    Please be assured that as a community football club we fully acknowledge this signing has divided opinion amongst our loyal fans and commercial stakeholders; We aim to rebuild that trust.

    While acknowledging the gravity of what happened ten years ago, as a club we fully support and encourage rehabilitation, and many factors influenced our signing.

    First and foremost, this was a football related decision.

    Hoping he proves me wrong, but I think asking Martin to play a 3rd game in 7 days is asking too much and we are likely to see a leg weary game from him. I'd have liked to start Weimann up top with Semenyo and Benarous in the ACM role. 

    Difficult choice on the keeper, Max needs to show some guts today in coming our to catch/punch balls into the 6 yard box, unless of course Klose wins them all!

    No wonder we are crap at set play WHEN you are threatened like that by your own Keeper ?
