Usually the way it works. I’m sure a lot of Pars fans have sore memories of Allan Walker’s looping header dropping into the far post at EEP at about 5:15pm.
That one didn’t even bother me at the time tbh. It’s amusing that scraping a draw with us is still considered one of raith rovers’ greatest ever moments, though. The 3-0 Cup exit left me utterly raging but more at Crawford and the team than anything else.
Sorest Pars goal we ever conceded has to be the 2nd Hafnafjordur goal in Perth, although I was only following that on the teletext. Worst at a game I was at would have to be the Thistle equaliser in the 3-3 at Firhill. We had played magnificently to go 3-1 up and would have been safe with a win, despite a points deduction. Had the gnawing feeling leaving the ground that we were heading for League 1.

JJ didn’t relegate us tbf. He was doing just fine until we went into admin, released half the squad and got a points deduction.
Also worked for free for a good chunk of time as well IIRC.

The utter melt downs to one bloody word has made me laugh. I never once said I was a Unionist. I just don’t like Sturgeon. Nothing to do with being a mouth breather or a Tory, it seems humour is frowned upon greatly.
I absolutely guarantee people inwardly groan when you speak.
Textbook ‘Pub Bore’.

I’m not a c**t. I just dislike the woman, no need to invoke the wrath of The Clique of Virtue
You’re entitled to dislike anyone but the snide nicknames are only dished out by complete mouth breathers or Tories.
Can’t decide which is worse tbh.

Seems like there’s a lot of pars fans here, still rent free from that 3-0 thumping?

Safe bet that anyone who calls Nicola Sturgeon Jimmy Krankie turns out to be a bit of a c**t.
Not for that comparison per se but just always seems to work out that way.

Didn’t know there was an issue with them but obviously they need maintained. The tannoy is in dire need of being sorted. Can hardly make out what’s being said and it’s loud as fcuk when you are walking out the NW.

So it seems the floodlights have finally been sorted. Hopefully the tannoy is next.
I didn't realise there was an issue with the floodlights tbh.

Not sure if he’ll play much but Matty Todd has already achieved the impressive feat of making me sigh every time he is brought on.
There’s still hope for him though and as has been mentioned, we’re decidedly jobber-free so far.

Can’t help but feel there’s at least 10% dread in this post.

Honest.
Please.
Nah Ludo I think you’re a sound c**t normally on here but that’s just not on.

He can be a bit slow and lumbering but he's good on the ball and very strong physically. Think about a slightly more mobile and more talented Nat Wedderburn and you're probably not far off.
Sounds better than Paton anyway.

Man, I’d forgotten Josh Edwards existed. Now I’m getting flashbacks of the Alloa game at EEP where he melted his career.

It leaves them as reserve/back up striker I'd imagine, our preferred starting 11 won't play every single minute of the season, McCann and McGill will get their chance.
Craw likes a loan wide player and they're usually decent.
There will be even fewer chances in a reduced season though, where McCann especially should be looking to play every week.
I know a few clubs tried to get him on loan but Pars didn’t want to let him go out so he must be well regarded.
Edit - For every Dom Thomas and Greg Kiltie, there’s a Dylan Duncan and Josh Coley.

While Thomas and Dow will start most games, what happens when one of them is having an off game, or one is injured? We have literally no cover out wide, none of this nonsense about Turner being able to play there. We need at least one wide midfielder, after a goalkeeper it's our most needed position.
I think most of the cover positions will be loan deals which won’t be happening until the Premiership has been up and running and squads are sorted out.
I like Turner but he didn’t make the impact I expected last season. Really wanted to see him nail down his place and dominate games but it was a firmly 6/10 campaign.
Not sure where McManus and O’Hara signing up leaves McCann and McGill. Perhaps one of them will be shifted out wide?

Regarding kozma and Cardle there’s no doubt that kozma is a higher calibre of player having played international level and for Liverpool.
Watching them at the pars, even though I was young, I could sense frustration amongst fans at times at kozma and wanting him to win games on his own like the st mirren game. I think Cardle had games like that as well but overall did more per game more regularly than Itsvan.
kozma, better player
Cardle, did more for the pars
Again, he played for Liverpool in the early 90s and is *still* regarded as one of the all-time worst signings ever.
Kozma is remembered for being incredible in one game against St Mirren and due to our support’s usual reaction of spaffing in our boxers at the mere sight of a player from outside the UK.
Cardle did *far* more in a Pars shirt and it’s not even remotely debatable.
I also fail to understand the issue with bringing him in. It’s not like he’ll be first choice and he could help with the coaching as well. Will the zero fans in the stand start giving him stick if he has a bad game?

Legend? I assume you were born in the 2000’s. Kozma is a legend. The Craw and Brewster are legends. Cardle did a decent job at a lower level.Cost over half a million quid and scored less than 10 goals. If he’d had that record for that fee and was called Ian Smith then he’d be considered a flop.
Then got flogged to Liverpool where he’s regarded as one of their worst signings ever.
Give me Cardle every day of the week and twice on a Saturday.

There's a 3D Joe Cardle in the middle of each
That’s all I see in most photos anyway so no surprise I didn’t notice.

Love these! Yellow one is better though. Hope that's the home one.
Look like those Magic Eye drawings.

Hopefully Cardle doesn’t sign. Not cut out for even being a sub at this level. He’ll probably end up at Kelty Hearts which would suit him nicely.
Your point caller? Literally 80% of our signings over the last decade haven’t been good enough; at least this one would be popular.

Joe Cardle as a squad player/coach would appease a lot of fans and potentially result in more season tickets being bought.
Definitely would increase the sales by one.

Joe Cardle. That is all.

Never replaced Marco Ruitenbeek to be perfectly honest.
Paul Gallacher was a better keeper IMO. Stillie is also wildly underrated due to the way he left and being a Tory.

It's ridiculous to do this one month before the season starts, never mind three.
Hearts will clearly be overwhelming favourites, while Alloa and wee team will be expected to finish 9th and 10th. Ourselves and Dundee would rightly be disappointed with any finish outside Top Four.
