Problem is Dunfermline are only two points off the relegation playoff spot and Airdrie 5. I'd like to hope we could get ourselves in a position where we are pretty safe from worrying about that with 9 games to go next season.
If I was a pars fan though I'd be asking how the hell they are now 3 points behind a side they finished 21 points ahead of last season

I see we've sold over 5000 strips this season which is bloody good going.

Is John mcglynn at it again about 2.25 into his post match interview?

Aye I don’t agree with the negativity around the keepers. I’ve said this on a previous post; keepers sometimes peak well into their 30s and we’ve got 2 very young keepers. it’s only natural they’ll make mistakes. However, I think it’s the nature of the position unfortunately, one small error can cost a goal and change the game.
The negativity is more centred on this crazy chopping and changing every month situation which gives neither young keeper a chance to settle in to the job. If either had been given the gloves for a long extended period of time then I'm sure we'd have seen the best out of them .

Will be so strange to sit in the KM7 and see the north stand regularly filled with a decent amount of away fans. I cannot wait, that’s if we win the league
Don't worry the livi games will take you back.

Great result and the kind of performance that has champions written all over it. Missing an important player no problem clean sheet. Tues nighty tough place to go after some big games and a somewhat disappointing end to Saturday's game never mind 3 PTS and back down the road.

How's the boy niang still on the park. He's made about 4 fouls since he got his yellow.

Think they said Dunfermline chose to use it first half as it will be worse second half
Sounded like utter nonsense whatever he was on about.

No denying the studs went to the knee but surely the force in which it happens is the deciding factor between yellow and red?
You catch anyone that high with your studs your off. It was a really poor tackle and he was very lucky. Var in play he's off.

These commentators are woeful.
They’d have you thinking Pars are ripping Airdrie apart if your aren’t watching.Did he just say that Airdrie perhaps chose to shoot that way because one side of the park would get chewed up or did I mishear that. Surely it's so that Dunfermline aren't shooting into the home end second half.

Can only assume those who think it’s a red are in the stadium as on the stream it looked fairly innocuous, was actually quite puzzled by the reactions afterwards. Was right in front of the camera too.
Nope watching it on my TV. Studs right on to the knee. If I saw that in any game I'm reffing it's a straight red these days. Dreadful tackle.

Airdrie boy should've been off. That was a dreadful tackle. Can only think the ref didn't get a good view of it.

Odd dropping McCann when you have already been forced into replacing Lang.

The reaction from the players tells you everything you need to know. Not one of them including Long himself claims for a foul and keepers will claim for anything they think they can get.

If swapping keepers every month was a good thing we wouldn't be the only pro side doing it in the country they all be doing it.

It's funny but you do get players who seem to get away with errors whilst others everything seems to end up in a goal or lost points

It cost us a goal, and luckily it was earlier in the match and the team were playing superb.
I've already said I would have kept in Hogarth on Saturday, as he was strong at Kelty, however both are error prone with handling.
Long has made far more errors over the course of the season though. I'd also rather have the lucky goalie in than the unlucky one whose mistakes cost us.

“The issue was that it was at the edge of the box?”
He caught it then dropped it, so he dropped it because he was outside the box?
It was an error, as was Long on Saturday who at worst should have caught it.
Quite simple he catches it and ends up out his area he's off so he goes to It too tentatively. It was a misjudgement but didn't cost us anything. How many points or games has hogarths errors cost us this season? Longs have so far cost us two cup runs and at least 4 points alone from our last two drawn games. Hogarth's haven't cost us anything. That's the difference for me along with the fact he was in excellent form so it's ludicrous to drop him and bring in another keeper who then flaps and costs us.

The problem McGlynn now has whether intentional or not is Long's overall confidence is shot.
Pretty much every start he's made has seen a mistake at Edinburgh, Bonnyrigg and now against Annan. He's a decent 'keeper but his performances have now introduced an element of doubt that I don't think can be rectified with a run in the team.
Best stick with Hogarth and let Sam start afresh down at Lincoln or somewhere else next year.
Plus he knows that even if he plays like Manuel Neuer over the next few games he'll be back on the bench in April. Where is the motivation there? Complete nonsense the whole situation.

Not losing sleep over it but it is just not needed and does not help the team in any way.
Exactly. I frankly see little benefit at all from it when it's meaning dropping a goalkeepers on form whose just had a motm performance to bring in a keeper who then costs us two points. If it's not necessary don't do it simple as that .

I get that however with the run of three away games coming up it would have been nice to win a game that 99.9% of most would have expected us to win just to keep the gap as it is or even better.
Exactly why take risks when you don't need to it was the same in the Edinburgh game which shouldve been a 3 point freeby. There are numerous things that pop up during a season that you can't control so why are we adding to them issues that we can control.

We have been rotating all season it has been that stupid an idea we have not lost a game in the league all season
We lost the chance of a financially beneficial cup run though and have dropped points we didn't need to drop because of it. It's just unnecessary that's the main point. There is really no need for it .

This is like listening to Rangers or Celtic fans at work on a Monday morning, ridiculously reactive and one of their managers needs to get sacked every week.
Are we forgetting Hogarth made the same mistake at Hamilton, or Lang shouting at him as he couldn't hold a simple shot.
These guys are young and the worst thing you can do is knock their confidence.
He didn't make the same mistake at Hamilton though. The issue there was that it was right on the edge of the box and he was concerned he was going to handle it outside. Long didn't have that worry. All he needed to do was catch it and it was 3 points in the bag. Long has made far more errors than Hogarth over the course of the season.

Seething if its not Hogarth tbh.
Can't see it and the worry is this is a very tough month of tricky away fixtures.
