Cambuslang Fifer

Is it me how many guys have we retain for next season? I thought the boy Lyon looked good yesterday scored a goal then was subbed along with Healy any chance we can keep him next season if thistle don't want him or is it a case see what league we will be in and see what the summer brings?

Dumbarton 2 Stenhousemuir 1 East Fife 1 Elgin City 0 Peterhead 2 Clyde 0 Spartans 1 Forfar 1 Stranrear 0 Bonnyrigg 0

You groundshare with Hamilton because you can not longer pay lanarkshire council for rent for broadwood while shettleston juniors and the park at st mungo's academy at crown point have turned you lot down....you can't laugh at our situation while your situation seems be running out like east Stirling

Did we not have this when Lee Murray played his way into the club because his team was in the same division and wanted to get us a cafe etc? Nothing pushing me on this news unless it's official or put anything in to help it probably end in tears or some pipedream 5months down the line, still unconvinced as long as the team on the park provides the success it's been like that since I remember us.... I do like the thought of having a proper shop inside the actual stadium building than the portocabin would be the 1st project how long have we had the outside portocabin since out of curiosity? Safe standing at sea wall end? Clubs like Celtic have acted on this given Bayview is a seated stadium with one stand? Then you won't have stewards or the stadium safety officer complaining to younger fans to sit down when their all banging the drum away....Peterhead did a similar thing for their young fans.

As a opposition fan at the game does the player height come into it, he wasn't the tallest of goalies either. Looked very shaky and nervous especially throwing a McManus shot out for a corner? Though Brett is a great keeper I think your club has found it hard to replace a top goalie and that was the problem when he left us, left a big hole trying get the same ability in that position it seems.

Excellent win despite going a goal down in first 10mins and Spartans having a moment when a player goes down their injured for the length of the time they scored their goal we got back into it and second half scored two goals that was deserved in front of a big away crowd of the season!

Why so much hate and jealousy coming from forfar fans over the Campbell's? Chill out

Great to see the arbroath reunion for Stuart he will sure be addition to help the coaching staff out when needed. Obviously rates Stuart highly in their short time he, pink, John brought him from Berwick to arbroath. Now to get in goalie coach and under 20 coach in and we should be sorted I think.

Given Mikey time was limited here and was always going be behind Fash & Shepherd in terms of pecking order in strikers at the club, going back to @Lichtie78comment about Kane Hester wouldn't be bad shout come to mention the suggestion and to consider he's been hit and miss at Montrose and was in fire for Elgin the season before his move to league 1, would be a player that would spring to mind to keep Shepherd and fash on their toes...loose the both of them and we need to play a midfielder up top but I'm sure dick, Ian and john are well aware of the situation given we've been limited for players that make a difference from the bench all season and unfortunately Mikey comes under that category unfortunately but wish him all the best wherever he goes onto and good luck to the boy.

We used to have Johnny smart emptying bins in lochee area under the Dave baikie era. But I guess now him, Dougie Cameron and Bobby have reunited at that local team there.

Officials killed east fife Christ even fash got booked for a stenny defender jumping on him. Deary me and because of that a draw was fair. Stenny goal was definitely a goal kick to east fife than a corner but that comes back to official been our their depth. I think I gave up in second half at how many times a player went down it was a free kick that was like comical. Though still think stenny will win this league this season it's all about staying up and getting a team in to be alot better in the standings.

Would mind seeing Thomas O'Brien and Colin at us those two at arbroath I quite like to see in an east fife top. Would of liked Bobby but he's at lochee, We need a decent left back since naysmith/Penrice (onloan) left us so Colin would fit the bill and move young newton back into wide midfield again if newts was to be kept on but like I said everyone is on trial to get into the east fife squad next season and we will take it from there. Though given we just signed hambrook extension which was or is odd I feel the rest are on trial to make it for next season squad but I can't see a way back for Slattery and given he has a testimonial at the end of the year he probably look to be the first one out the door though he has done quite well on EFtv I herd. Plus the youngsters we brought up recently are best of the rest no offence so dunno if we should still have a youth system if we already have the top youngsters from there and there's only so much you can do until you send the wrong message out but that up to club if they keep it running and if dick feels that is the avenue that can be used as advantage but as well as that we need players with a pedigree from other teams too.

Following the resignation of Greig McDonald and the subsequent appointment of Dick Campbell as first-team manager, we can confirm that Paul Thomson and Lindsay Hamilton have now left the club. Paul and Lindsay both leave with the thanks of everyone at East Fife and we wish them all the best for the future. bit.ly/4bEYIDM Can we now have Rab Douglas as gk coach followed by Stuart Malcolm defender coach??

Top of the league vs a team going nowhere in L2. a new manager for EF will have nothing to fear aboot now' given where we are.

Well he have three or four months to asses a squad for next season and build a team on the park as we've seen they are below par. With nothing to play for this is a perfect opportunity but the bottom line is staying up do that then we can build a team but he and the staff will have no fear between now and end of season and think it's fair we haven't been good this season far off what we achieved last season.

probably.

Am as much delighted we got Ian his brother in aswell his backroom staff, disappointed Rab Douglas hasn't joined but....

I get the youth position was great but fielding youths we haven't much seen the rewards unlike jude Smith hence he was with Celtic when he came to us with unknown quality and we played him in L1 and got noticed hence the rewards that Newcastle took him for their academy at a much higher level again down south. I feel that we already have the best from that group and we have regressed bar walls and flashes of charlie Murray when our defence is at their bare bones there but none of them show their good enough. Mean it was good thing setting up the youths but we need go in different direction and now isn't the time to bring up anymore.

This is what I thought when we appointed Greg when Crawford left that his stint at Stirling A back then has came back to hunt Greg at his time as a East Fife manager and I read your messages and viewed your concerns, which has been the story this season. Though I wish Greg all the best and he is still a legend at East Fife regardless I wish him all the best what holds for him. Regarding having the Campbell's installed bringing in his backroom staff ie Young, Malcolm and Rab Douglas would be the icing to freshing the backroom as well as get excited where all levels at the football club within East fife have been stale at all accounts and we need freshness, we had backroom staff that's been here since pat slattery era if that and it something to get excited your quite right from someone on the outside I have been crying out for at this club.

That's my worry given it's east fife but it is needed! I know it not very cheap to terminate everyone but we need freshness. Me: going gang-ho now

Probably could take Stuart Malcolm with him as first team coach was he not hired before his sacking up at arbroath? Though we do have Paul Thomson there he worked at hearts as youth coach but I feel we need deep clean of management aswell as the players.

Well I doubt it if Paul Thomson as far as I know is still there as is Lindsay Hamilton but I feel we need a clear out and some freshness in coaching department from management and deep cleaning the club is needed tbh but I'm glad McDonald has did the right thing feel it's too little too late and whoever comes in needs get the fans on board and clear out from both dugout to players needed. But again the club statement only stated the fact McDonald has resigned from his position as club manager therefore no clue but as I'm aware Thomson and Hamilton is still there so probably not a done deal it's ef were talking about.

If ray was to leave one club for another club in east fife then no thank you. There's one man without work and thats dick and his backroom staff please.

Don't know what the club are waiting on it's obvious his managerial career has failed and has failed at Stirling Albion, I wouldn't put it past the board to renew his contract...which is also laughable where we are or find ourselves at once teams round about us win their game in hand, they have had months on from the Dunbar game and it's February.

If we can't afford to sack Toro from his position he was given the easy choice by the bod since he took over from craw if I can remember and given the result, other results from team below us with most of the teams have a game in hand then it should be red lights in terms of were in danger of going to the reality given everyone's strengthen and we add a kid fae hibs in plus sign our own kid and be in position we find ourselves in where we're not out of relegation dogfight either and we look out shadow of ourselves on the park, fans dweling with their feet at the moment and it must be a warning sign given the result today that this guy should of been sacked at Dunbar never mind can we afford to sack him...football a result business but if we're continue to back this guy your lunatic and much laughable as the ones that put McDonald in that position in the first place. I'm a season ticket holder I don't think I have much faith what next season holds if he still there as our manager and plus I don't have much faith tempting to put in any money unless their changes at all levels within the club or even to support this buy out fund what's if we drop to LL right do we continue to support this cause known we can't get out the LL like most teams do struggle as we have seen I think we're really in dire shape and we haven't been like this since Jim moffat era but instead of signing Paddy Kelly were signing under 20 kids to fill the void as the same way we can't part company to a manager that failed at Stirling and now us, he's really assisted manager but time is up we need a new direction not just the ownership thing but on the park too.
