Neither am I. Unsure why anyone doing that makes Falkirk winning against us nearly 90 years ago relevant.

One of your fife chums was though. Sometimes it's like being back at school on this thread.

The playground patter .  Chubby chops stated that the result this season was inevitable because Dunfermline is twice the size of Falkirk.The overall stats between the two clubs show that's  certainly not the case..  Every season we play each other it could go either way.

Pretty sure he wasn't being serious.

Also pretty sure you know that.

It’s not really pedantry questioning something that makes no sense. I appreciate the humility of your response though.

That’s a Fife education for you.  Does that explain the neediness too?

I would argue, in reality, a club like Motherwell or Kilmarnock are twice the size of us.
 

Hardly anything in it between us. 
 

Deservedly in pole position this season though.

Nah, blatant pedantry. You knew fine well it was a simple typing error.

We need to embrace our pedantry more often (by we of course I mean people in general, not just me and you).

I presumed it was just an extremely  pish attempt at a wind up. Which as mentioned took me back to my school playground days.

Dunfermline started this season with a very strong squad that had massively underperformed under two clueless managers who managed to relegate a team that had been one of the favourites for promotion.

Now that they have a competent manager it’s hardly a shock that they are going to win the title even if the style of football would make your eyes bleed

What a load of drivel. Dunfermline have failed to score in 3 league games all season. Falkirk have failed to score in 3 in a row. Even in the games against each other, we’ve had more attempts on goal every single time, so I really don’t understand why the simpletons in the Falkirk support have made up this nonsense about playing a better brand of football.

Our manager comes up with tactics to try and win the game. Passing the ball between CBs does nothing but boost meaningless stats. At least our manager understands that you need to score goals to win games.

You’ve had 2 shots on target in the last 4 hours of football against us. We’ve scored 4 goals against you in that time. But, somehow, after watching those games, it’s our style of play/tactics that you’re criticising?

Also, our squad is really not all you’re making it out to be. Very few of these players got any game time in the team that got relegated as well. Most were fringe players/subs. If McPake worked with Falkirk’s squad and McGlynn worked with ours, I’d imagine McPake’s team would be the league leaders and probably by a similar margin.

Of course it was a wind up, just like you posting about results nearly 90 years ago was.

I could live with another season in L1. Surely the unexpected cup money makes that viable with the current squad costs. 

Good foundations set... no big teams coming down.. automatic promotion next season an absolute must. Anything else unacceptable. 

Yeah no big teams like us cos we are going up lol sorry I had to !

Agree with most of what you said but this isn't quite true.

Must be a right embarrassment still being owned by a club our size then.

OK show the results from say the last 5 - 10 years

Ah wait, you’re right. They’ve had 2 shots on target, my bad.

To those on here saying that it is unacceptable to be so far behind Dunfermline perhaps you should take on board the following.

Dunfermline started this season with a very strong squad that had massively underperformed under two clueless managers who managed to relegate a team that had been one of the favourites for promotion.

Now that they have a competent manager it’s hardly a shock that they are going to win the title even if the style of football would make your eyes bleed.

In contrast McGlynn came to a club at its lowest ebb since the late 70’s.

A huge rebuild was required both on and off the pitch and only an idiot or someone with an agenda could possibly argue that the club is not now in a much stronger place.

We are a long way still from being where we need to be but I genuinely think that we will achieve promotion through the playoffs.

On a completely different point just watched the Scotland game, that new strip is a thing of beauty and would make a perfect Bairns kit.

I 100% agree about that scotland kit it is a total belter

Mcpake has signed onto 2026. Couple of solid seasons building in championship and then hopefully make the step up and celebrate falkirks 150th anniversary in the top league for you.
