Baird has been a walking red card waiting to happen recently. He got away with an off the ball incident in the 2nd half too that not many folk noticed. Maybe he’s just raging at the nick of our performances right now. I join Dunning in wondering why Robbie Muirhead continues to get a free pass to wander around a football pitch for 90 minutes each week. It’s all fine and well saying he’s scored 16 goals this season, but he’s done next to nothing since bagging a hat trick against Ayr back in January. Garrity was having a far better game than he was yet he is the one taken off. We seemed to get a bit of control in the game towards the end once Power and Wilson got going. Would like to see the pair of them start on Friday night.

How Logan Chalmers hasn’t seen red in that first half is beyond me. Oakley booked for a nothing foul, Chalmers flying into Gillespie with an elbow then a minute later commits a cynical foul, no yellows shown for either of them

Mullen French Baird O'Connor Waters Gillespie Wilson (if fit) Quitongo Muirhead Garrity Oakley Would be my preferred lineup after Saturday. Power, Blues, Broadfoot, and Crawford all needing benched after a string of poor performances. Sadly that defence is the only alternative and sounds like we may have seen the last of Strapp in a Morton jersey

Would love 3 points here to drag us away from any 9th place worry and then write this season off as another that showed quite a bit of promise then quickly turned into mid table mediocrity again.

Cantwell really is thick.

Slow-mo’s given for slight contact, footage sped up for touching the ball. We’re watching corruption in front of our own eyes here

Penalty awarded for winning the ball

Scandalous.

That should be his 4th booking for diving.

“Tav”

“Nice” Airdrieonians - the same group that roundly booed a player whose brother had the audacity to call out alledged racism from your own support. Despicable behaviour.

Complete and utter shite Cal Ferrie was the only one “shitehousing” things - going down with a life threatening head injury for non-contact from Bearne, straight up to get in his face then back down again to make sure the ref fell for the booking. Karma got him in the end, the flapping mess that he is. 4 clean sheets against your lot this season - cheers!

Cal “best keeper in the league” Ferrie

Class from the referee. More decisions like this will stop players going down with non-injuries.

Tbf, it’s starting to annoy me too

Penalty was given for a “foul” on Quitongo but from where I was standing it was incredibly soft. Quitongo has gone down at the slightest touch if there was any. That being said, there wasn’t many complaints from the Dunfermline players.

Yet another appalling performance. We definitely looked brighter to begin with Oakley starting but given his lack of game time he faded out very quickly. Muirhead has been awful for weeks, and Crawford who had an excellent start to the season hasn’t contributed anything going forward for a long while either. This tied in with the defence shipping easy goals each week is giving us no chance of getting a result. Imrie can’t complain about the depth of his squad/options off the bench, then refuse to use a player who he signed on a 2 year deal*. It’s all fine and well to say Bearne may not be training well enough, but he can’t be a worse option than Muirhead at the moment. *one of 2 players signed on 2 year deals. The other wasn’t good enough either and chucked it only last month.

Apparently no Oakley again. Hope Imrie doesn’t persist with French playing CDM, and I’d really like to see Bearne and Garrity on from the start. We were much brighter with them on the pitch last week.

Increases the chances of a player getting an injury too if they’re sent into the boards. Pretty poor from that POV. Strapp will just move them anyway.

We’ve just about gone 430 minutes of football without scoring a goal. Pretty much since Oakley got injured we’ve lost any kind of threat going forward. Will take any sort of win here.

Your hatchet man Taylor-Sinclair completely to blame for it. I hope Oakley's back in time for the return fixture.

Enjoy League 2.
