He's a proper good player. It's a big blow.
Unless it's 6 figures we've been done.

looks like we have signed Aidan Connolly, he decent?
I don't think we seen enough of him to make to decent a judgement. He was neither horrific nor a game changer. I could see him being more effective the league below.

A good proportion of the horrific goals came from right back position. Either Williamson in the worst season he's ever had or Craigen not really knowing the position.
It's hard to argue with only 40 conceded playing with a makeshift full back for majority of the season that needs cover from CBs constantly. That number would normally see clubs in the playoffs if they score a reasonable amount.

Devine is ok if our goal is to avoid relegation which might be our aim this season but in order to push for the top four you need a Morris level centre half alongside Ashcroft to stand a chance.I disagree totally with this. We conceded 40 goals all season. Only 6 more than the champions and the same as 2nd and 3rd place.
The issues are scoring goals, not keeping them out.

I wouldn't grumble too much with Ashcroft and Devine continuing as starting centre back pairing. I thought Danny Devine had several games where he looked very decent. Seems to be the generic target at the minute when really he's not that bad. Having a couple of young promising centre halves as back up to Ashcroft and Devine wouldn't be too bad, I don't think there is an immediate need to replace either.

Ian McCall was excellent at periods in his career, places higher than Crawford and Neilson for me.
Allan Johnston tops that in my opinion with Caldwell second, can't really separate Robertson and Hopkin in 3rd/4th.
McCall, Neilson, Crawford, McPake then Dick Campbell.

Bad recruitment at Falkirk aye, but they were probably unfortunate that they all turned out to be duds.
Bold signings and with a bit of luck Crawford, Shields and McNamara have uncovered a few gems. Highly rated youngsters certainly more enthusing than Willo Flood and James Vincent last summer.

He was very classy with the ball, different story without it. It wouldn't be unfair to call him very promising at the time he was released.

Shaun Byrne did next to nothing in a Pars shirt. Craigen has also done nothing of note apart from filling the gaps when there were injuries and being a consistent performer without being anything special.
We can get better with the wage he'd be on.
What wage was he on?

The most disappointing departure from the club since Shaun Byrne for me.

He spent nearly every game getting the ball pinged at him from 50 yards and trying to knock it on. I'd assume if he is re-signed then this wouldn't be what is planned for him and on that assumption he would definitely be worthy of a contract.

nope...me too. A lazy, lazy appointment from the SFA, again
Clarke has done well with Killie, but if thats the blueprint for success nowadays then we are in bother.
Obviously that's not all he's done in football.

Let me try,
Coming back from 2 down against Hibs 2-2
Putting 5 past Livi who were on a great run at EEP
Topping the group of the Betfred Cup twice
Coming from behind to beat Dundee United and Falkirk (Falkirk was less great more a relief) away from home (this season)
Starting the 17/18 season putting 5 past Inverness and 3 past the eventual champions St Mirren
Nicky Clark scoring the last second equaliser against Inverness to send us into the play offs.
That's off the top of my head, I might be missing one or two and would agree there have been more meh moments than super stuff since promotion but let's hope we can get a spirit in the squad that gets us firing again. We are Dunfermline, This kingdom is ours!
Let's have it!
Knocking Hearts out the League Cup and putting the final nail in Cathro's coffin.

A lot of top tier football experience between Dundee Utd and Ross County.
I assume this will be one that Jackie McNamara and his agency links has had a hand in.

I have just priced my ST renewal. Myself and my two boys (6 and 4) in a family package. £311. I'm pretty sure the early bird offer last year had adult price as £240 and u12 as free. Which would make this as an increase of £71 on last season. I may be slightly out as I missed the early bird offer but I paid £250 last season.
McArthur's statement has left a bad taste. The whole bit around the Lifeline memberships came across as 'become a member or have no club to support'. The lifeline is a charitable donation. Guilt tripping and pressure should not be put on supporters. I'll be paying over £300 on STs and buying 2 extortionately priced kid's strips so being asked to then donate an additional £20 a month is at the very least cheeky if not insulting.
I think the u12 tickets no longer being free is a serious own goal by the club. I only have two u12s to pay for, but I see a lot of supporters have 3 and 4 kids with them at times. For them that's potentially an extra £72 before they've even renewed their own ticket. And for what? Because they cannot monitor chancers.
I moan but I will just pay it of course. The emotional ties of a football club can't half rip the piss right out of you.

The club's transparency and honesty is refreshing and has to be applauded.
Financially grim reading. Young and hungry squad with lower expectations sits fine with me.

Obviously only seen them a handful of times against Dunfermline but I thought Josh Mullin and Lyndon Dykes were very good when I seen them.

I appreciate some might find this relatively minor in comparison to some things discussed, but im absolutely livid. Working today so the mrs took our 11mth old to the outlaws for the day. My FIL is a big celtic fan and I couldnt hate the old firm more. My wee guys starting to pick up odd words and my mrs knows how strongly I feel about keeping him away from all the bile and shite of the old firm. If when hes older he decides to support one of the arse cheeks then thats his choice and il reluctantly accept it. Now ive said to her and him that I feel really strongly about it, but any time im down he sings celtic songs to him and today has been trying to get him to say celtic and sending me pics of him wearing celtic scarves etc. Its possibly more that im annoyed because I know its a dig at me but im fucking raging with both of them. I dont want to have a blazing row with her on her first mothers day but I dont know what to say both when she gets home and in future if that shite starts on visits. I know there are some decent old firm fans on here but im not having someone sing rebel songs etc to my kid and just feel really angry. Am I out of order?
My eldest (6) is obsessed with football, and in the last year he has completed rejected any toys he had before and is only either outside with a ball or plays with a soft cushion ball inside, he watches more way more football than I do so he's at the age where things are going to stick. We go to Dunfermline every home game and in the last year he's got attached and the Pars results will affect his mood for the rest of the Saturday evening. My wife's family are all Celtic and he has an very clear leaning to them. He has Dunfermline strips/training tops but he also has various Celtic merchandise, games, jacket, water bottle.
I don't really have too much of an issue which way it eventually goes. I'm responsible for his parenting and ensuring his attitude growing up is right and proper. If it goes the Celtic way, I'll do my best to make sure he isn't of a 'bile and hatred' type. I'd even go along to games with him to make sure his attitude isn't going the way it can with the OF. Prioritise him not being a p***k over supporting the same club as you.

Very much this -I don't have a TV, and have never fished, but have watched three episodes of Bob and Paul's fishing show, and have recommended it to two of my mates who run a fishing club - wonderful stuff - Bob's a fucking legend.
Series 2 is back soon as well.
He's good on Nick Helm's food programme during which Paul Whitehouse stumbles upon them.
EDIT: Found a wee trailer clip thing...

Scum of the earth IMO.
Paruresis is a real thing brother! I do agree not lifting the seat is scumbag behaviour though.
If I go to a urinal and someone is at the immediate urinal left or right then I can't pee until they finish up and go away. It's particularly bad if they try to talk. This leads to me having an internal paddy for 30 secs thinking that the other guy will be wondering why I'm just standing at a urinal with my knob out not doing a pee; occasionally I'll tut and shake my head and/or knob in the hope the guy just thinks I've some sort of pisser problems rather than just being odd. In reality they probably don't notice and if they do they certainly couldn't care less.
Luckily I've never stood by someone with the same affliction, we'd be there for days.

Saturday's game at Alloa will see us enter the final quarter of the season. Here's a review of the first three quarters of our Championship season:
Q1 3 wins, 2 draws + 4 defeats = 11 points
Q2 2 wins, 3 draws + 4 defeats = 9 points
Q3 5 wins, 2 draws + 2 defeats = 17 points
As you can see, this latest run of wins has given us a big bump at just the right time. I'd think we'd need a similar quarter in terms of points if we were to actually gatecrash the promotion play-off party.
To me it looks like 6 wins should see us in play offs, 5 wins will maybe see us in there and 4 wins is a bit dodgy. Still a big ask.
Nice to be looking at what needs to be done to stay in play offs instead of how to avoid 9th or 10th.

Kids swearing is never not funny.
My eldest, 5 year old, plays football at school with kids a couple of years older where I suspect he picks up things. A few weeks back the odd occasion I thought I'd overheard him muttering "fanny" but wasn't sure enough so dismissed it. Then we were messing and I said something like "Do you know what you are Nicholas? A stinky face." or similar teasing. He replied "well, do you know what you are daddy? A fanny". Admittedly accurate, but I didn't find it funny at the time and went tonto. I've not heard him use it again. Thinking back though it is funny.
He has started giving the finger, sometimes the middle finger, sometimes the two fingers. I don't think he's any idea that it's offensive. I have been trying to get him to stop without him knowing what it really means, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll probably need to take the same approach as the last time.
