Larbert_Par Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Honest assessment from Gall there. The approach of the players and management team throughout all of this has been excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonface Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 This whole sorry saga seems to be able to drag itself out for an eternity without coming to a head. I can't see what choice the squad have but to complain to the SFL via the Players Union if they're outstanding wages and bonuses dating back to October last year. You'd imagine the Pars would be hit by a transfer embargo (which would be a pointless punishment in all honesty), a fine would seem to be an equally pointless punishment (and hinder the club's ability to fulfil it's debts to the players and the rest of their creditors). That would leave a points deduction as the only relevant and meaningful punishment left to the SFL to dish out to Dunfermline. You could see the appropriateness of deducting some of the points won by the club that they effectively haven't been able to afford or pay for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and not simply because it would likely benefit Rovers . Clubs who can't afford their wages deserve punishment. A transfer ban should go without saying and fining a club is ridiculous. The only suitable punishment is a points deduction which kinda reclaims points that wouldn't have been won if you had a squad you could actually afford! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafcburty Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Well done to the Pars' U20 team who won 3-2 today at EEP against Inverness U20. We are now in the SFA Youth Cup Semi Finals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larbert_Par Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Pars youngsters played well today - 3-0 up at half time, should've buried it at the start of the second half but Inverness got a couple of goals back to make it a nervy second half. But great credit to the under 20s for reaching the semi final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_no_1 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 A points deduction is only fair. At least 10. I suppose it would give Raith a tiny chance of finishing above us for the first time since John Major was running the country...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet of the Macabre Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Excellent stuff from the Under 20's. A rare bit of good news! I think this will also help my prediction of Potter getting made gaffer this summer. Would love JJ to stay but why would he want to under these conditions? I think it's telling that some of the players have been thanking fans online. Apart from the coaching staff, it almost seems like we're the only ones on their side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 dot netters saying that we're due Accies £7K for the cup game and they've lodged at complaint to SFA. So how many clubs have we pissed off now? Cowden, Falkirk, Raith Rovers, Saint Johnstone, Livvy.... Can only see us going bust now, what a fecking mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
