Lang - best game o season
Nicoll - signing o season
Goodie - 1st 10 looked knackered but otherwise Simply unbelievable..
Special mention to Otto. Howie. Rumsby and Love for non stop effort3 -
So if effect it did cost us money bringing him back wrongly in my opinion for only a one year deal when clearly that was all he was staying..Lang didn't cost us any money. Dunfermline paid for him from us, on a deal that was structured with payments scheduled over the course of his 2-year deal. When he re-signed, the remaining year of payments was essentially just cancelled.
We need solid centre halves at this level and he's one of the best in L1. If we didn't bring Lang back and used his wage elsewhere, we may have signed a midfielder that didn't work out and would have been left with a set of centre halves that don't inspire that much confidence, as much as I like them all. At least with Lang he gave us a known quantity.
We had 3 centre halfs at club before he returned and of course any signing a risk but i would have rather we used it for a attacking centre mid of choice..
This isnt a witch hunt against TL may i add but one year deal and loss of transfer fee wouldnt have been for me1 -
Needs to be one game we have to go for a win. Thankfully goodie might be in that team starting..
Ive said since 1st game o season our supply chain is weak and yes mcstay was frustrating but was very very effictive (Look at 2nd goal v dumbarton before lockdown when mcstay got us park again from v tight position in last min)..
Grant was amazing but Mcstay brought goals and brought on players like Lamont who is cleary missing the type around him & Central defender is getting the nod before him to go up top tonight was rather bizarre from all parties...
Not going to the old road of players missing that has been spoken about to death but point im making is Nicoll return has been huge in terms of sealing the leak but going other way is still a problem since day1 and never beem addressed...
Finally brings me onto to last point, Ton Lang is rightly a fans fav but "buying" a player from Dunfermline for only a one year deal wouldnt have been for me as pre contract confirmed & not a criticism of the lad but wasteful funds that could have been used to address the above...
Hindsight eh0 -
Nicoll only been off 10mins and theyre strolling through us.
Lang and Goodie up front combo [emoji123]0 -
1st 20. Looked decent enough & young jamieson had good chance when through on goal and perhaps should have taken it with his right foot...
All Cove there on with Mcallister best chance and well saved by Mitch..
Need to get few players on that can hold up and get them turned, its like watching us v higher league team trying to just stay in game..
Love up front to help LJ. Otto LB or Goodie on . Dont wait till we go goal down please Danny!.0 -
Settle a debate please
Am i right n saying its an 18 league season followed by 4 game split.
22 in total.0 -

Starting to get bit concerned re DGW injury/absence...
Hoping today were simply giving him some extra recovery time , if hes out for Tuesday/Thu were in trouble0 -
Going on our first half performance we deserved nothing with Howie's header start of 2nd our only real chance over 90
This Sat ensure these lads on team bus and only these - Vajs..Bain. Cassidy...Butterworth. Robertson. McCormick.Ritchie-Hosler. Lamont and couple of trialists if allowed..
Forget Love. Otto. Mitchell & of course DGW.
20k for playing this tie is nothing compared to league survival and hopefully kicking on next season...
Dumbarton and Forfar both have cup ties sat aswell as midweek fixtures themselves & we need everyone fit and fresh for Tue/Thu0 -
Strange such a short term deal considering their season finished is it not?!. Anyways 3pts and weans out V Ayr will do just nice

They have signed Greg Spence on loan. 4 goals since 2018
This also could be April Fools0 -
Q . Surely this aint just doon to Archibald.
Where did it go wrong / Board change / over spend on average nonsence?!
Am i disappointed ?! Obviously not thro healthy fitba rivarly but interested compared to my lot who have much less media and love attention0 -
Yeah agreed. CH of rumsby / Mcniff in cup concerned me v dumfermline but completely diff level and mitch behind would have helped no doubt...Absolutely.....playing really well....a fantastic result and Nicoll/Rumsby and Jamieson the top 3 for me.
Young Otto looks like hes been playing fitba longer than my monday blues & great signing
Jamieson legs and effort for a loan player a joy to watch , these types can oftem go thro motions due to short term deal but not this lad and once again huge credit to GD/DL..

Your thoughts on Nicoll last 2 DavidAbsolutely gutted we've missed a season where we win at Peterhead, Cove and Keith away.
Absolutely fuming that Thistle and Falkirk are so bad.
The back four were solid. McGlinchey composed. Jamieson ran his socks off up against three/four players every time. Two magnificent goals.0 -
Nicoll strolled it AGAIN... Anyone caring/raging to agree

Great Q. Cosgrove on off the ball recommended it earlier in season when his team playing the heed. No sure what way wind was blowing that day or if it was one below gale force

No Howie . No points

Your loyalty and effort over the years is admirable. Reserve games were indeed a challenge at times.
Which sponsorship have we lost and which personal investment have we lost and because of who?
Advance construction1 -
Dont be suprised. Ive done 35 year. Home & Away. Covered Reserve games from dumfries to dunfermline with cupla brigton lads.Unbelievably I find myself in agreement with you.........however.....you need to google the definition of Amateur.
Honestly , Im Tired now but wont stop caring , I fell for the Ronnie Mcd game and said would neva again & sadly last few chancers have taken some people for a ride...
Weve lost personal investment & the biggest sponorship since OKI because of some ppl who have since gone and still hurting us..

Nicoll probably on a 1/10th wage compared to players like bain and cunnnigham who are never mentioned on any forum. Any game or anywhere funny enough cause their guff but for some reason they manage to rack up appeareances.
Nicoll has his linitations but he loves the game (Ask any other club) cause he gets involved and good or bad gets involved..
Not saying hes the answer but he defo aint the problem or close..

Split coming up is going to no doubt include peterhead and East fife. Maybe not bad thing their still in about it if we need them to do the business one game v forfar/dumbarton as oppose to going thro the motions if their safe or more n less.
Dumbarton n forfar picked up points at Falkirk and Firhill. Time me done same and we look lot more solid to remain positive
Great 3points
