I hope we pump this six-fingered mob from over the bridge.
Oh, and Yorkston is still a bawbag.

I think many of the six-fingered mob agree with you on Yorkston.
Funny feeling they are going to be our bogey team this season.

I can't see us losing this, our away form has been fantastic this season, and with Cardle missing they wont be as likely to cheat the ref into getting a penalty. And Mullen wont be taking ours if we get one, so lets give this mob a good pumping and bring all three points home. Mon the Amber Machine.

Fighting in the away support more like handbags at 900 paces. Some idiots on the away support though.Show your passion via your voice not fists!! And some who know the square root of feck all Im sorry to say.
But lets discuss the game. NO EXCUSES beaten by a better team who have a superior budget by a countrymile to us.
We are punching away above or weight the target this year was and is survival.
No complaints first goal was just bad luck and we never recovered. But we move on the mighty Brechin await at Almondvale.
Lets get right behind the boys in Black and hopefully secure 3 points.

That was a sore one, the first goal set the tone for the game, it just wasn't to be our day.
Much better second half though and Hoppy made the right changes during the interval after we were getting ripped down our right hand side. Todorov moving up front gave us much needed height and muscle in our attack for the long balls being played up to our strikers too, just a pity we couldn't get our first goal a bit earlier to put pressure on them, or if we'd got a penalty instead of the offside given against us before our player was chopped down in the box.
Good win for Dunfermline and they played well so no complaints about their win, they were the better team on the day, we'll just need to dust ourselves down and get ready to go again next week against Brechin.

Not completely right. Dunfermline were the better team in the first half wholly due to Hoppy persistently trying to play with a back three. We don’t have the the type of players to play this system. Dunfermline’s mid-field dominated the first half and it was to easy for them to have shot after shot. After we changed to a back four we were much better and I am sure we would have won the game if we had started with this formation. It is not the first game he has had to revert to a back four to try and get us back into the match. |

It is not the first game he has had to revert to a back four to try and get us back into the match. Was more down to Hoppy sticking with Toddy in defence and Mullin backing him up, looked a straight swap 2nd half with Gallagher taking over for Toddy and McMillan replacing Mullin, that's where we were ripped for the second and third goals. Josh is good going forward but not so good defensively and twice he got taken on our right wing by Aird, and Toddy was too far off to stop Aird and Higginbotham's shots. Don't know why Hoppy stuck with Toddy in defence when Gallagher was back from suspension, but i'm not going to be too critical about it, he had us sitting second and we're now third, he's doing a great job and at least made the changes at HT to fix his mistake. Toddy up front also made a big difference in the second half, he should've started there. There were a few other things that just didn't go for us and the freaky goal at the start didn't help. We even got the same thing up the other end when the ball hit off our player but it didn't carry back towards goal with enough on it to beat their keeper, and he got back to catch it before it went in, and his point blank save too, just wasn't our day. Still not convinced Penrice was offside when he got chopped down with a two footed tackle from behind, irrespective of it being given offside, that was still dangerous play and deserved a booking. |

Don't know how anyone can say we can't play with a back 3, we've been doing it for most of the season, at least in the games I've seen & we haven't done too shabbily.
