parsforlife Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 The pitch is more of a mess than usual TBF but yes, the main reason for the quality being poor was the ability of the players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well over Par Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) People trying to look for positives in saying we were better this week. We were better because Arbroath are shite. It was a game lacking in quality. It looked to me like they players have lost belief Edited February 18 by Well over Par 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) I think we were better for the change in midfield and the fact Arbroath are very poor, so we always should have been putting on a better display. We are proper shite, but I'd put my mortgage on Arbroath going down. I think we'll sleepwalk our way to a 9th place finish. Just got to hope we are firing on all cylinders by the time those games come around, particularly from Todd, Bene and KRH. A lot of hope and expectation is going to be put on these guys' shoulders. I believe Chalmers has another season out us. I'd be getting him to f*ck ASAP if there is any sort of clause in his contract, or punting him to League 1 on loan for a season if we manage to stay up. He is absolutely useless in this league, but is handy for the top teams in League 1. Mehmet has until 2026 ffs. Another one that can't step up from League 1. We're stuck with him for a while it looks. Out of the senior players that are out of contract, I wouldn't be extending anyone's contract: Allan - not good enough for top half League 1, never mind Championship. McCann - good League 1 player, but if we have any sort of aspirations of being a competent, Championship challenger, this is the type of player you have to be ruthless with and let go. Jakubiak - will be on a fair wage and doesn't offer enough IMO to justify that wage. Could be spent wisely elsewhere, especially on the misfield. I believe we have extended Edward's contract another year? Therefore I haven't counted him. But he is one that is needing to get the finger out to get us out this hole. Not convinced on lots of players but willing to wait until the end of the season to decide what I make of the likes of Wighton and Breen. Wighton has something about him but this season he has been very disappointing. Breen is also permanently crocked, so that's a wage being pissed against a wall. Big problems to sort out for McPake.

We're irrelevant look at your club, run by Germans thar don't care about 1st team affairs. Do you really think they'll stick around if they don't make money from your youth.

Every time I hear somebody say that we'll be OK once Benedictus or Todd gets back, I picture the bit in The Running Man when all their henchmen have been dispatched and so they call on Captain Freedom. Sadly we can't just AI Generate some 1-0 wins... 3 hours ago, Wee Sandy said: Wonder if they EVER regretted the many businesses they killed off b8 I Py their mis management? Firstly, can you name these businesses that were killed off? Secondly, given that every creditor barring Masterton (and Yorkston IIRC) accepted the offer, and that a great many of them subsequently formed Pars United to bring the club out of administration, I'm happy that they felt that way. In terms of the Rovers, I'm neither here nor there. Probably wish them well more often than not, except when they play us or are direct rivals for promotion or relegation or whatever. But while some of the social media stuff they put our is funny (I liked the tweet along the lines of "today's over-celebrations as seen from the dug out) and has digs at the right people, I find it a bit odd that so many posts are directly or indirectly about us. Falkirk tried the same last year and it was all a bit forced and flat. 3 hours ago, Well over Par said: Summers, Allan, McCann and Benjamin should not be starting next game. Allan didn't start on Saturday there but did set up a pretty decent chance after coming on at half time. I don't think he's great but as a squad man I think he's OK and won't be on big wages. He's a marginally better option than Chalmers IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it was all his fault, but we didn't look as good in the second half and he contributed by and large, hee haw. When he leaves in the summer he'll slide down the leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going down if you don't make some sort of changes and chris kane for all his work rate is unlikely to be the saviour you need. What was the case for Ian Murray to stay at Raith last season when you finished 7th with 11 wins? I’m fairly sure the board thought he deserved another crack at the whip without all the disastrous injuries. There’s no available managers out there that will guarantee we avoid relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I welcome all these worried Raith fans and their heartfelt concerns about our current situation. They won on Friday night so their focus obviously moves away from questioning and/or emptying Murray for a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 It's not surprising at all. They are more concerned about us than their own team. Hopefully we can get Ashcroft over the line and a midfielder from somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I planted a couple of deliberately crass statements and you're all fizzing and banging like a shower of cheap Chinese fireworks over here and on your own threads. Tbh I'd be ignoring shite windups if we were sitting at the top of the league but I really do think the deep seated inferiority complex is an inherent part of your average Rovers supporter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the spread of points in the league this season, it's not inconceivable that Dunfermline could finish higher than 7th, but Murray was deemed worthy of another crack, by most of our support at least, as we never looked in any danger of relegation. He also got us to the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup, knocking out Premiership opposition on the way, to the final of the diddy cup and also put together a fairly lengthy unbeaten run (albeit it contained too many draws with points dropped from winning positions). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If Ashcroft was signing, we'd have it sorted by now no? I hope he's not the only target, I seriously hope there's another experienced defender available on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
