  1. Some play acting from Peterhead I’ve never heard so many grown men squealing whenever anyone went near them. As soon as they felt a touch on them they went down in a crumpled heap squealing like a 2 year old child.. If course the incompetent referee fell for it every time. Not much in the way of football from Peterhead route one hoof ball to McAllister when he came on. Where do they get these referees from So inconsistent with his card decisions. 

  2. A very rare win for the Fife in post code Dumbarton but very much needed with Clyde and Elgin winning. A good bounce back picking up 4 points in last 2 away games after our horror show against Bonnyrigg. The next trick is to try and find some kind of consistency and pull ourselves away from the relegation threat. Big game next week at home to Clyde victory would move us 11 points clear of them. 

  3. Everything about the club feels very amateurish from the board right down to what I witnessed on the park at Bonnyrigg last week. We are in downward spiral and have been for around 3 years. The apathy amongst the support is an all time low. We are calling out for change from ownership to board to management. If things keep going like this for another 2 or 3 years there is no doubt that we will end up club 42 it’s just a matter of time. Rankines ownership has been the worst thing to ever happen to the club and change of ownership is a must. Maybe then we’ll get some change and some business professionals in the boardroom. 

  4. 4 2 actually flattered East Fife Bonnyrigg played to their strengths won nearly every 2nd ball and punted the ball in the box to ask the question of our defence . 2nd half East Fife defensively were absolutely abysmal. Page and Murdoch were howling. Not a pitch you can play football on and we never came close to matching Bonnyriggs  physical presence. Not many players in black and gold can say they won their battle tonight. Both penalties looked soft from where I was but that was 50 yards away. If we can’t bring in some muscle in January then I’m afraid it’s going to be a long hard season. Fleming let in a howler but he more than made up for it with several cracking saves or it could have been a lot worse. 

  5. How things have changed in the 6 months since that play off semi final game. Clyde looked like they had a fighting chance of staying up but since then things have really fell of a cliff. Great feeling to get back to winning ways and a victory on Tuesday will take us 9 points clear of the dreaded trap door. Still only a third of the way through the season and a lot of footballing twists and turns to come before May. 

  6. 20 minutes ago, Life on Marrs? said:

    Tale of 2 managererial opposites today. 1, who seems to have united the home support & seeking to use this postivity to galvanise his side, the other, who without a positive result, today can't really see how he can continue.

    The way I feel at the moment, I'd pick Fleming, Newton, Walls, Millar, Healy. I'm not fussed if I see any of the others in a black & gold jersey again, mind you, I can equally, this evening be typing about how these guys are the greatest side to ever wear the shirt!

    I'm going for a fighting 1-1 draw that'll suit us more than Clyde, and the manager can tell us that he sees a time fighting for him & he'll remain in post for another week or 2.

    Finally, will the real Jack Healy, please stand up& not this imposter wearing his shirt & colouful boots we've endured this season!

     

    You won't see Healy today he's suspended for his booking every game, on the plus side Page and Easton fully fit and a ailable 

  7. You would think those East Fife players wanted McDonald to lose his job only Fleming and Trouten  get pass marks the other 9 rank rotten. First 3 minutes sum us up golden chance for Mitchell fluffs his lines, Dumbarton then absolutely gifted a goal seconds later we should be 1 up and find ourselves 1 down. That’s where games won and lost in both boxes and we are simply hopeless in those areas. You then have to chase the game which suited Dumbarton and only Alan Flemings saves kept the game a contest. We huffed and puffed in the second half but physicality we just can’t compete. Dumbarton did a professional job and once we gifted them the goal they never looked like giving the lead up. Now I said last week a defeat today and next week against Clyde and the board have a decision to make. I stand by that and you can’t say he’s not been given time. To be honest if you read the East Fife Facebook page all the fans have made up their minds. Players mistakes will cost managers their jobs and we have too many players making mistakes in both boxes and I’m not sure how McDonald changes this. He sure as hell has had plenty time but it’s looking increasingly likely his time is up.

  8. Going by the East Fife Facebook page nearly all the fans are running out of patience with the way things are going. The board have to be setting some kind of timescale on how long McDonald can be given to show improvement. Personally I’d give him the next two games against Dumbarton and Clyde and another two defeats then it’s time to go down a different road. The results are just simply not good enough 2 league wins all season tells you that. It’s a results business and Greig McDonald has been in football long enough to know that. Most clubs would have pulled the trigger last week after the shocker of a cup defeat but our board are pretty loyal. However surely they must be thinking if these  results and sub standard performances don’t change soon then a decision has to be made.

     

     

  9. The season has been pretty dire fling in last weeks horror show and most fair minded fans would think Greig McDonald has limited time to turn things around. He hasn’t given players in the squad a chance to show what they can do he picks some players every week no matter how bad they have been the game before. On Saturday there has to be changes as those that played last week let everyone at East Fife football club down big time.Only Nathan Austin and Allan Fleming came close to getting pass marks he could drop any of the other 9 that started. Not convinced we can get anything from the game and there will need to be a 100% improvement in effort and attitude. Hopefully the players have had a look in the mirror this week and realise that they are far from Billy big time.
