I know it's speculation but was the Russian meteorite spawned off the meteor that passed us by today

Why do you think so?

Russian rock was travelling in almost the opposite direction, was nearly a day earlier etc. Not much chance of them being related.

Well, ..., no.

If you look any of the Russian videos the meteor was traveling in a North / South trajectory, whereas, Asteroid 2012 DA14 was trveling in a South / North Trajectory. They literally were coming from opposite directions so they could not have been part of one another.

See below

No. The Russian meteorite was travelling from east to west. Asteroid 2012 DA14 was travelling from south to north. Also, the meteorite was travelling at about twice the speed of 2012 DA14. They are entirely separate. The fact that they both arrived on the same day was a coincidence.

No, it's not.
Please add additional information in the form of a link, from the Russian space agency,
NASA, or the ESA that has published on line, the contention of quote "speculation"

No. They were moving in almost competely opposite directions relative to one another.

The reasons why I KNOW this are this Spaceweather.com page and the commentary on CNN and / or MSNBC that I have on in the background.

No. As far as can be known, the meteor's orbital motion was backward compared to the asteroid.

no, unrelated.
