  1. I don't think the points he's making are particularly unfair or unreasonable, but I don't think you can expect to use the official club programme to make criticisms like that.
  2. I don't really understand what's happened here. The "Rovers Digest" email from the club was advertising the programme yesterday and suggested there was a statement from the new chairman in it.
  3. "Look everyone, now that I'm the Dunfermline manager, I'll show everyone what guid hoanest laddies can do!" "Yogi, you've done f**k all and finished in the relegation play-offs. You've ruined a perfectly good Fife football club!" "Ah, incorrect Marge - two perfectly good Fife football clubs."
  4. The Pars should bin Yogi off and give the play-offs to Leishman. It's a very Yogi thing to do, he'd probably appreciate the irony, and they're dead in the water with him.
  5. I'm not exactly a body language expert but I didn't see anything from anyone there that you'd call conclusive.
  6. Brad Spencer has been decent too. Whisper it, but I don't think we've missed Ross Matthews.
  7. If we had players who could finish we'd have won the league, to be fair.
  8. Lafferty giving Killie a focal point and letting them get out their own half. This isn't exactly news, but the gap between Killie's first choice and their back-ups is absolutely massive.
  9. It helps that we're playing a team that doesn't give a f**k, but it's the first time any of our left backs have matched Tumilty for adventurousness since about October.
  10. Not in the least surprised with how this is turning out. A team with the shackles off against a team that's very, very hungover. If we could finish, mind, we could've made this evening interesting. We must've passed up three or four brilliant chances.
  11. A three goal swing in just half an hour. We're ahead of the required run rate here...
  12. Getting fast fed up with some of the fucking eejits in the South Stand, to be honest with you. Can't understand the mentality of these folk who turn up just to bitch and moan for 90 minutes.
  13. Beach balls to celebrate winning the Championship? Surely no. For mocking relegations to the seaside leagues and European qualification only. (It looks like the Killie fans are going to have a rare time tonight whatever happens, I'm very jealous.)
  14. If I had to put money on what the most likely course of events has been, it's that someone from the club has said "John, you're not planning on going anywhere are you?", he's confirmed that he's not, and they've agreed to sort out the paperwork after the end of the season. I don't think there's been any real desire from either McGlynn or the club to do anything different, and the formalities that were about to be concluded prior to the Goodwillie deal have been pushed back until after the football's finished. I could well be proved wrong, but that seems to me to be the most likely situation.
  15. Who are Building Craftsmen Ltd? Chairman's company or something?
  16. Are you maybe thinking of Colin Wilson? He was pitched into a derby at East End for his debut, despite having a broken arm. He predictably had a bit of a nightmare and was hooked at half time.
  17. It's the first time I've seen a relegation accompanied by the sound of someone tumbling down a flight of stairs.
  18. I'd go as far as saying anyone old enough to drink should be given Friday night off. Celebrate in style.
  19. It was a while ago now so I'm maybe not remembering all the detail, but did Bill Clark not suggest that there was a quarterly board meeting scheduled for about two days after the Goodwillie debacle and that the first item on the agenda was McGlynn's contract? It'd have been waved through at that stage, if it hadn't been for everything else that happened first. Rather than the conclusions of any grand Texan psychoanalysis, I suspect it's been a simple case of "get to the end of the season and worry about it then". I'm sure the bad run of form played a minor part, but more than anything I think everyone just wanted to get over the line. Who honestly knows what John Sim thinks these days, but taking everything into account I'd be pretty surprised if McGlynn isn't still in charge at the start of next season.
