Aye it's knackered.

Did the club genuinely not see this happening?

I'd imagine any club would expect their website domain provider to manage the traffic of people looking to buy a new shirt. Even if your whole active fanbase was on the site at once, that should still be within the ability of a website to function. I'd expect you're looking at around 1000 people concurrently trying to hit the site. Its more likely that this has gone down (and still down) due to the provider having an outage or someone pushed a bad update.

Just back from EEP picking up the new top and David in the shop thinks there close to running out of the popular sizes, in the shop alone they have sold hundreds today.

I'm assuming we'll hear news about trialists today? Ineligible to play games now and surely they've seen enough to decide one way or another. 

I hope so mate, wee tea time pen gif would be good.

Its also not a new approach - patience in a new style isn't the reason for consternation amongst the fans, it's that we don't have the players to do it and don't have enough pace to benefit from actually beating the press. What  a bizarre thing to come out with.

McPake desperately tried to bed in a 3-5-2 with us when he first took over and spent all pre-season and publically admitting we were going with one system and it was about other teams adapting to us rather than the other way about but we'd all need to be patient whilst the players got to grip with it.

Opening day of the season against you lot at EEP, you absolutely destroyed us and ran rampant for 45 minutes which led to us changing the formation and never going back.

Aye, a bizarre article considering we started it when McPake first came in, which was two years ago.

Basically - no sub keeper tomorrow, Todd out for 3 months/12 weeks due to needing surgery.

Dunfermline are set to go into their Premier Sports Cup opener against The Spartans WITHOUT a substitute goalkeeper.

The Pars squad, it is understood, will feature only first-choice Deniz Mehmet for the trip over the Forth to Ainslie Park.

It appears a huge gamble from the East End Park club as they bid to kick off the new campaign with a win over their League Two hosts.

They are running the risk of a possible crisis between the sticks if the worst-case scenario plays out.

Should Mehmet pick up an injury, or is sent off, an outfield player will need to take the gloves for the Fifers.


Dunfermline have been running the rule over freed Huddersfield Town keeper Giosue Bellagambi during their pre-season preparations.

But the 22-year-old has not yet been offered a deal, leaving Mehmet as the only signed goalie on the Pars’ books.

Back-up custodian Max Little was freed at the end of last season and has not been replaced with competitive football about to kick off.

It is a situation that boss James McPake will be hoping is resolved quickly.

Dunfermline are scheduled to host Forfar on Tuesday and newly-relegated Championship rivals Livingston next Saturday.

Matty Todd to have operation
Meanwhile, Matty Todd is set to be sidelined for THREE MONTHS as he prepares for surgery on his broken collarbone.

The midfielder consulted a specialist earlier this week on the fracture he sustained in the opening pre-season friendly against East Fife.


It was still undecided whether the 23-year-old would need an operation.

However, after further discussions he will now go under the surgeon’s knife on Monday.

It will be the fourth operation Todd has experienced in a little over a year in a nightmare spell for the player.


Surgery to remove his appendix at the end of season 2022-23 was followed by a planned procedure on his nose last summer. He then needed an operation to repair ankle ligaments.

Also afflicted by a hamstring injury, he managed just 21 appearances last term and his absence will again be a blow to the Pars.

He is now expected to be out of action for the next 12 weeks.
