I liked this part;

" In an incredible turn of events, Pavol was scheduled to travel from Slovakia to Scotland on Sunday morning… that was until his passport and other documents were stolen at Bratislava Airport just before he was due to fly"

Be hilarious if he picks up an injury tonight.

Just imagine if this actually happened! Or if he gets sent off. Scenes.

He looks like he's fucking mental. Happy with that, tbh. If we're going down, at least let's go down in style.

So we really only sign 1 keeper as the other is on amateur terms and therefore can't play league first team matches.

Amateur...kind of sums up our club at the moment!

Not really, Rory has played the maximum allotted games for the U20's as a trialist and had to be signed if he were to play anymore games.

Be a bit repetitive. Now if our entire frontline spontaneously combusted, on the other hand...

But that doesn't help the first team does it?

[Michael W]

He looks like he's in Green Street. 

LET'S FUCKING 'AVE IT YOU CAAAAANTS.

He hasn't signed for the first team, Pavel has.

reads a bit like someones facebook post rather than a club statement important to get a keeper in but seems odd to get an amateur in.

[DA Baracus]

If this footage from 2 years back is anything to go by, he seems decent enough and is used to playing with a comical defence;

Going by Pavel's instagram he could be a rival to the mighty BRE in the Fife's best/worst dresser footballer stakes:

Pretty standard for us.

[Rovers1992/1993]

Well spotted. This be Pavol Penska.

Wasn't sure if anybody had noticed the photo I put up this morning or not

Well we only assumed one keeper was coming in and that it was either going to be the junior guy or this Slovak boy. What else were you expecting? two new first team keepers?

[Hank Scorpio]

The story of his arrival reminds me of left back Goran Stanic, who apparently drove the 2,000 miles from Macedonia to Kirkcaldy in order to sign for us in 2003.

that's a bit unkind, what has the lad ever done to you ?

I don't wish anything serious on the guy, but something fairly trivial that keeps him out of our match against the Rovers at the weekend would be just dandy.

Prolapsed arsehole after seeing Stevo's face tattoo. Out for the season.

Surely we've given you enough help already?

I'm a greedy b*****d, renton.

[Rovers1992/1993]

Five keepers at the club is just fucking greedy, TBH.

 

To be fair, 3 of their contracts run out in the summer, and a fourth is only an amateur so can't appear for the first team.

 

Next season we'll have Cuthbert and if Penska does well, he'll probably be here as well, Lennox will be away back to Aberdeen, and Brennan will be away to Wayne Henderson's goalkeeping school to continue to learn the trade.

 

We'll probably sign the amateur on a professional deal as well to make sure it never gets to this stage again where we don't have a youth keeper to turn to.
