Walking Down The Halbeath Road


Recommended Posts

Fantastic business to get KRH in on a 3-year-deal. Shows ambition from the club and also from the player. It was great to see that he wants to play and his comment about "not wanting to play for the B team" should tell you all you need to know about how useful a development tool they actually are.

Does anyone have our up-to-date squad list?

I'd absolutely take Burrell, if we're playing a partner with Wighton we need it to be someone with some pace to threaten defences in behind, Burrell fits that perfectly. 

Couldn’t make an impact in League 1. He is shite.

Robert Snodgrass will be announced by the end of the week. All done 👍

Presumably fishing? Hasn't he left Hearts so he can go back down south to be with his family?

He left Hearts after Neilson was sacked. He said that he will give his side of the story when the time is right. Seemed more of a fall out with the board.

Now that the dust has settled and we’ve had time to calm down… how bloody good is that signing? It’s a real sign of intent. I know he’s unproven at championship level, but he was far too good for league 1. Really looking forward to seeing him at East End for the next few years.

I’ve commented a couple of times on this, but Dunfermline feels like somewhere that players want to be right now. McPake, the coaching staff and the board deserve immense credit for that. We now have the manager/assistant, Todd, Hamilton and KRH on long term deals. Quite a few players recently signed 2 year deals as well. In the last 4/5 years, very few first team players have signed extensions to their initial contracts. It’s great to see that changing.

I also don’t think we can underestimate the influence of the section NW guys. They’ve created an atmosphere home and away and get behind the team. The connection between fans and players is very strong right now and I hope that continues for a long time yet!

Might be coincidence but our upturn started when David Cook took over.  The appointment of the manager was good, something we had got wrong too many times before.  Targeted low ST prices for the Section NW demographic having identfied what that section bring on and off the park.  Both these things played a huge part in our turn around this season.

Agreed. The fans adoration and connection with KRH from that section must have also played a part in him signing. 

As an older fan I'll admit to scoffing at it, but it's true, it's helping the club as a whole massively.

Some of the names i'm seeing on here this morning are just beautiful.

I'm being lazy here but is McMullan, Byrne, McGhee & Jakubiak all out of contract? Would be buzzing to have Fisher back too.

Byrne still under contract, would say you have no chance of getting Fisher. Hopefully we keep McGhee and Jak, you're welcome to McMullan.

Thank you.

Fisher is pretty much a done deal I think. 
 

I thought McMullan had done well for Dundee, what’s changed?

Out of interest, why do you think we have no chance of getting Fisher? General consensus around Dunfermline is that he is a ‘done deal’.

Not to mention he only featured in 6 league games for Dundee when he went back in January. So don't see him being played more now that you have gone up? Could all be down to who their new manager is I guess.

The club site is up to date other than Mehmet and McGowan from what I can see

Just listened to McPake’s interview - interesting to hear that it was agreed as part of the loan deal that we’d have an option to buy/make it a permanent deal. Another example of some good planning/negotiations from those in charge.

Would be surprised if we punt Fisher, McMullans a good Championship player, not good enough for the step up though.
