Andy Smith scored a barrowload of goals for us after being a total cock and a snake for Airdrie. Brian Graham however, is a total cock and a snake that has never scored a single goal for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Kane - 50 championship games, 22 goals and 6 assists. Goal involvement every 1.78 games Brian Graham - 280 championship games, 98 goals, 30 assists. Goal involvement every 2.19 games Am I missing something? Worth noting, adding assists actually makes it closer. On game/mins per goal, Kane is much better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsboi Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Just matching championship only stats, Kane has a better record. That said it’s skewed by the little (relative) time he has played at this level. Be interesting to do that same exercise based purely on Premiership games? Regardless, Kane is a huge upgrade on Wighton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 For some reason I can't recall Peter Grant popped in to my head earlier. He hasn't had a managerial job in not far off two and a half years. John Hughes hasn't had a managerial job after leaving us either. Almost like they were both massively exposed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were exposed before they came to us TBF, we just had an utterly wild recruitment policy that year. Mcpake has been ok but I still utterly fear what will happen once he leaves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no coincidence that Mr stubborn “I don’t need to make any subs” Allan Johnstone is no longer in management either. Feckin infuriating manager, and what he did to Fass was just cunty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Hughes seemed to have turned a corner at Ross County tbf. Alas, he was still the dim charlatan we feared. Not quite Peter Grant, but definitely up there. Peter Grant quite easily the worst manager we have had in my lifetime, and that takes some doing to beat Davie fucking Hay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that I never thought I’d live long enough to see a Pars manager as bad as Hay, then came Grant. I doubt we’ll ever get worse than him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Was driving past the training ground yesterday and seen what looked like youth players training on it. Seems going by this post on LinkedIn it's been handed over. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/calum-hirst-6b271b14a_exciting-day-in-rosyth-for-the-completion-activity-7181649652507639809-ZRrx?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_android 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacky Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Anyone else read this thread on .net speculating about our chances in the premier in the unlikely event that we went up this season? Personally I think our board would dig deep if we were to go up, and finance a bit more experienced players to bolster the squad we have right now. Naturally some of our current players will be disappointed, but as my old gaffer used to say “you have to break eggs to make an omelette” Anyhoo, I think our board would give enough funds to have a decent go at staying up. Thoughts? https://dafc.net/forum/read.php?f=1&i=1927866&t=1927866 Edited April 9 by Wacky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 We aren't out the woods for finishing 9th just yet. I'm more worried about that than missing out on 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? https://dafc.net/forum/read.php?f=1&i=1927866&t=1927866 I have my doubts about them digging deep in terms of going into overspend. I do think they’d look at the increase in income and invest in a better squad, but nothing daft. The strategy will not change, and why would it? They’re here for the long haul, and if we were to go up, they’d argue with some merit that the current strategy is working. I think finishing 9th is unlikely. Similarly while a better chance of finishing 4th, I just think Airdrie have enough in them to pull out some surprise results in their run in to get there. For us to hot streak into 4th, and then win the 3 sets of playoff fixtures and go up, it would be the most incredible finish to a season, ever. It’s never been done to finish 4th and go up via the playoffs to the premier league. I don’t see this Dunfermline side being the first to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 If we did somehow go up (I don't think we will) then I don't see why the board would need to 'dig deep'. The budget would substantially increase due to huge jumps in sponsorship, TV and match day revenue. The club would also be more attractive to potential players simply due to playing in a higher league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
