The Toun Clock

What a joke this is. To be fair, the managers pre match interview sounded positive - every injured player is back running. Comrie, Matty Todd are further ahead. Kane running but the injury was his shoulder so it’ll have its own timescale, then Bene. I think the one expected to be at the back of the pack is Breeny.

I think I posted on here the morning after the meeting, I wasn’t there but work with a guy who does. We happened to pass each other in the office and I asked about the meeting. He kinda mentioned a few things like the training ground but in our 20-30 second interaction the main thing he said/I took away from it was that there’s a lot of incorrect scare mongering, the club are on a sound footing and the guys in charge/investors are as committed now as they’ve ever been, if not more. That’ll do for me. I’m sure there’ll be losses, what club aren’t posting losses apart from the ultra six million pies a week brigade. We’re building a training ground which has really kicked on and we’re coming round from the hangover of two managerial sackings and a year in league one.

Was the Rudden first half sub down to tactics, injury or because he’s gash? Noticed he got an early booking.

Ah the old ultra pie sellers. MURRAY OOT!

Big Toddy scoring against the pie sellers again.

I love Josh Edwards, I'm sure he'll go on to bigger and better things than the Pars but by Christ he needs to work on that final ball, it's not even bad at times, it's brutal. Either out for a throw on the far side or it goes out for a goal kick before it's crossed the edge of the box.

Games off just for your cheek. I'm away up to get the snow machine pumping!

Hammy has proved size doesn’t matter if you’re good enough.

Wouldn’t be shocked if we add before the game on Saturday but not before the deadline tonight.

Wouldn't be too arsed if they gave Joe a wee deal until end of the season, where he's also doing the vacant role that Greg Shields done. Then he retires, gets the nice big playing career send off at East End and moves into the academy role full time. I think we'll probably sign Josh McPake and another defender.

Okay precious.

Aye was on loan circa 2013 for half a season then on trial a year or two later under AJ but didn’t get a deal. Ended up going to Ayr and the rest is history.

Rosyth Training Ground Update | Dunfermline Athletic Football Club - (dafc.co.uk) Wee update on the training ground.

May well have been that Thistle game I seen him in! I definitely seen him in a game at Ochilview and he was pretty good, without doing anything amazing. To be fair I'd take him even if just until end of the season, dangle the carrot to offer a chance to earn a new deal or put himself in the window.

I seen him play for QP last season and he looked good but one of the QP fans further up said he kinda fell out of the picture. Definitely a good player but could be an attitude thing. I wonder if he was the #7 trialist yesterday? I think he'd be a decent squad player.

Sounds like it. Passing comment speaking to a Pars supporting mate at work today who was there. Gist of it is there's been a lot of scaremongering and the club are in a decent place and the investors are committed as ever. Didn't have a chance to ask anything else about training ground or anything else but I'm sure there was chat.

Heard a wee snippet from last night's meeting. Absolutely nae worries.

The Courier reporting we're "running the rule" over Josh McPake. Would be a good signing, done well with QP last season. Sounds like a bit of homework done on Holmes, mentions us seeing him when watching Moffat initially and McPake has spoken to Steven Dobbie about him.

Bit of height up there which is good, looks physical from his Instagram. Stats maybe not amazing but give the boy a chance.

Steven Fletcher left out of Wrexham's last two games...

Ressies squad for the game at QP confirmed, two trialists starting at #7 & #9. Also someone on the bench called "Snoddy". Imagine Robert Snodgrass hadn't just retired, that would get the tongues wagging.

Could see May still being an option. If we publicly confirmed we went for Brophy then I'd say May fits that mould. Craig Levein seemed delighted Nicky Clark and Chris Kane were about to return from injury so can't see that happening. @Rob1885if you remember in the group chat years ago when StJohnstone were going through there little glory year, I said Chris Kane would be a future Scotland international! First the Pars to mid table glory then books a seat on the plane to Germany!

Deniz chucks one in on Saturday - BAHGAWDALMIGHTY, THAT'S JULIAN SPERONI'S MUSIC!

Been here many times before but I think we might get a wee treat or two this week. Not just a run of the mill, will do a job signing but maybe something exciting. I know nothing, purely speculation but just a wee feeling going by the managers comments last week.

Fair doos. I was pretty shocked when Morton got a gig with you in the Champ since he was playing lowland league last season, and in those previous games against us he did look done. Strapp is a good player.
