Fail to see how the strip is a "shocker" - I probably won't buy it as I never usually do - but it's no better or worse than most Pars tops over the last 5 or 6 years.

The guy looks the part. Hope it happens.

Yeah. Still slightly OTT though I'm sure you'll agree.

Yeah.......were one poster compared Josh leaving to the death of a close family member. Roasters on every forum.

Can I bin my "league one" bookmark yet?

I had a copy of this dumped on my desk today by a guy from Methil who's been telling me for the last 3 years that The Rangers being "relegated" to the bottom tier of Scottish football is "doing all the wee teams a favour" There's so many holes in it I don't know where to begin. Dunfermline went bust in 2013........... "Cash strapped" Ayr............. "The temptation will be to bump up wages to attract better players — but that strategy has got teams into trouble in the past"...........that's right folks, everyone else should tighten their purse strings whilst they sign 33 year old journeymen for 25k a week. "Rangers were booted down to League Two in 2012" "Minnows"........ What a pile of patronising horse-shit

It seems Rovers fans don't like it up 'em....

Calm doon flower, it's only the net. Not real life

Yes it would, although I'd hazard a guess that for the majority of the nineties & noughties a fair percentage of teams from the top two leagues massively overspent at some point (yourselves included) It used to be the way. Not any more.

Well I don't think any clubs' owners would come out & say "we'd happily settle for 6th place" in a ten-team league. I'd be quite happy to stay up but I don't think there's much between the teams outwith Hibs, Falkirk & yourselves & given that 2 out of those 3 have new management teams, I bet AJ & the board secretly harbour ambitions of the play-offs. I heard that Leishman interview & I'm fairly certain he said we have a top 6 set-up in place, which is arguable if he was talking about the stadium etc. I'd agree with you & stats would support it - in my time supporting the Pars (30-odd years) we've never been an established anything, apart from a fair size chunk of the noughties which was all built on sand of course...........

Yes I believe so. If you read Ross McArthurs' end of season report on our website I have complete and utter faith in the people in charge of my club. That's not to say their decisions can't be questioned but I know they're made with the long term stability of our club at heart. We've even made a small profit, even whilst playing in the third tier of Scottish football.

Missing the point mate but just a light-hearted reply to one of your own having a pop at our old habit of spending money we don't have. Oh and posting on a fans football forum does not equal obsession. Look it up in the dictionary....;o)

Still got local businessmen paying wages the club couldn't otherwise afford? What could possibly go wrong with that I wonder?

Fucks sakes talk about a climb down!

The over-reaction by some of the Raith fans on here is laughable. Nothing like giving someone a chance eh? Also, the notion that the board would deliberately appoint a sub-standard manager as some sort of "GIRUY" gesture to stay-away fans is ridiculous. Do you really think the BOD consult P&B over who to appoint? This is like .net at its worst.

Jeez give the man a chance!

True though

You really do come across as an absolute cocksocket.

Oh the irony..........

Grim

What will the Cowden fans gurn about now the tins have been withdrawn? http://dafc.info/forum/read.php?f=1&i=1553356&t=1553356

In other news, Raith have never ever been in debt or owed anyone money or had their neighbours turn up for a much-needed fund raising game to help them out the klartz. Never. Not once. None of this happened.

Why are you bothered? It's only some tit with f**k all else to do.
