The Toun Clock

If we were to get rid of PG say within the next month then I think the board would have to accept the failure lies with them, and they'd then try everything possible to get someone good in, get the fans back on side. Replacing AJ with Crawford was uninspiring but we got on with his because it was Stevie and it sounded nice, he's a club legend and already an employee. You could kinda see the logic behind it. Replacing Stevie with PG still doesn't make sense to me and likely never will. If we replaced PG with Chipper I think I'd genuinely shred my season ticket, have my stupid tattoo lasered off and burn my Pars kit collection.

Without sounding like one of those ITK types, I'm almost certain DC applied for the role but that was as far as it went. Yogi was my first pick for the job after Petrie. The day after Crawford announced he was resigning Yogi left Ross Co. I thought there might have been a chance but sadly not, although if PG does get the boot then I would think Yogi won't be too far off the list again. Thing is, people thing Yogi is a crap manager because he like's to blether, is a bit of a madman and has had poor spells here or there, what manager hasn't at this level? Won the Scottish Cup with ICT, kept Ross Co up against all odds last season and done well with Falkirk in the Premiership years ago. No one expects us to go in and be a top 4 Premiership team again anytime soon, we need to get out of the division and then try to stay in the top flight, even if we're finishing 10th or 11th. I think Yogi could do that with the Pars. Unpopular opinion of course.

I would normally agree, but for PG a defeat in this game would surely get him the sack. Regardless we should have enough to win but I’m the same as you, I’d prefer we didn’t bother.

Aye all rivalries aside it truly is awful. Whether he could come back physically from 4 ACL injuries is one thing but mentally, must be feeling rock bottom. Shame for the lad, despite his numerous goals against us over the years there is no denying he's a classy wee player.

Game rescheduled for Wednesday 29th September, 7:45 KO live on BBC.

We defended impeccably that day. A long range fluke from Mikey Johnstone and a deflected shot from James Forrest beat us that day. We had a stone wall penalty turned down as well when Julien took Nisbet out with a spinning wheel kick whilst last man.

Someone I have on Facebook just said that the board including Germans are at the civil service club in Rosyth. Hopefully getting a step closer to announcing the new training facilities.

Correct. Was definitely 5 at the back with Martin as LCB and Edwards as LWB anyway.

No one would be stupid enough to take that offer.

Signed for Clyde the day after he left Alloa. Any idea when Iain Wilson is due back? What a difference he would make.

Chances of getting someone in today? Slim?

When we had our stint in league 1 post admin I could sense a real togetherness off the pitch. Fans were travelling all over the country in their thousands, good Dunfermline people were involved at the club and you felt like we were really going places off the park. I'm not sure when or where but somewhere down the line that has disappeared. Ross McCarthur used to go on about being transparent but I feel it's back to a them and us situation between fans and board. The relationship is pretty sour just now and has been for some time.

We are but I can't say I'm surprised. Calling for the managers sacking after 3 league games isn't normal but I think it is warranted in this case. Brought in a guy that got relegated from the league last season that none of us wanted who has now gone on to talk an awful lot of p1sh, making bold predictions and some dogsh*t signings. The board have shot themselves in the foot with this one but they're a stubborn bunch. We kept AJ well past his sell by date and we done the same with Crawford. Crawford would still be in place now if he didn't resign.

Arbroath fans are harmless, let them have a laugh and a joke about it. We deserve to get the pish ripped out of us and it'll continue unless the board hold their hands up on this shambles of a mistake.

25-30% been mentioned by a few ITK.

Since we can get full crowds outdoors and hospitality, I wonder if the club have any plans for a supporters council meeting in the coming months. All very well the new investors meeting various fan groups that have connections to the club like the PST, Lifeline etc but that does nothing for the average punter. Most frustrating thing for me is we don't have a league game this weekend. A meaningless cup game at the other end of the country awaits. The boys could go out and win 10-0 but it counts for nothing. A big win and you'll have numpties saying we've turned a corner. Then brought back to reality in the league. Is it wrong to want an Elgin win on Saturday? I couldn't give a rats ass if we won this cup and it would push PG closer to the door. I've supported the Pars long enough, there's no way our current board are giving him the boot after the 3rd league game of the season.

Arbroath were were really good. Nouble looks a player. Shame we didn’t interview Dick Campbell when he applied for the job in May.

I’m sorry but Dunfermline’s current and new owners need to sit around the table tonight, come to terms with a mistake they’ve made, hold their hands up and change this. Fans have already lost interest and not going to the games and that’s after a year of sitting in the house. Waken the f*ck up.

It’s rotten. Commentary is w**k as well. I know the guys probably a volunteer but just slavers crap. Gerry McCabe is sound though.

Something came up last minute so taking up the opportunity to watch on PsrsTV with season ticket. It’s more exciting with fans being in, I hated watching the streams last season. Saying that, we’ve been torture and Arbroath should probably have had at least one penalty. I always feel quite bad singling our players, especially keepers but Mehmet is rotten. I’m not even sure the long range shot was on target and he’s made an arse of a diving save and parried it right into the strikers feet. Kennedy has been lively.

Yes he is. You'd think we would have a better quality of centre half than Andy Graham but I'd be lying if I told you that was true. In all seriousness we do have players who can fit that playing out from the back gig but we're not very good at it just now.

Could be wrong but I always thought there was some sort of deal in place that if a televised game had to be postponed/abandoned etc that the rearranged fixture would also be televised.

Agreed. I had a feeling the away end at Raith could have been bad if we were losing badly and then lost. No disrespect to Arbroath but if we want to be challenging and be where Peter Grant expects us to be then tomorrow is a must win. In other news, steak bridies are back. Stephens kiosks will be open, happy days!

Bridies are back tomorrow. 3 points and a bridie sounds splendid.
