He's a good example of a player who came in, didn't start well (particularly giving away a daft penalty to Caley)but since then he's proven that he's an asset to the team. He's an absolute wind up merchant. For me, it was the Motherwell game in the cup after Isma scored - he bombed it from the half way line to go celebrate with our fans rather than the other players. As you say, first over after the full time whistle today too. I get the feeling he's found somewhere that he's happy to be playing his football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigus Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Where have the Pars fans gone that were trying to convince us that Cafu Millen is shite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 You could see the difference in the Rovers bench today full of quality anyone of them could have played from the start and to think Connolly is still to come back , Rovers I don’t think were great today but didn’t really have to TBH , Second half the Pars had most of the ball but really created hee haw apart from hitting cross after cross in the box which was meat and veg to Watson and Murray also had a midfielder playing at left back makes the result even more enjoyable . Otoo and McCann I really like for the Pars however the boy Breen at number 12 ? and o”Halloran oh my god dreadful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a couple of the Morton team on a string the other week. One of their players was down injured near the end and being treated by the physio. Millen strolls across and helps himself to the water bottle their physio had brought out and a couple of their players were going daft at him as he nonchalantly walked off. It was hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Even though Dunfermline had a couple of decent chances thought we shaded the first half and took our only chance Second half thought we sat a tad too deep but Dunfermline has something ti chase and we had something to hang onto which I thought we did well,saying that Sam has to score to make it 2 zip and make it a wee bit easier for the big support in the away end.Oh,well done to both sets of supporters for turning iut in numbers Have to say Dabrowski save in the 2nd half was outrageous even though the guy was offside All in all a typical derby,not much in the way of free flowing football but plenty blood and snot. Thought the ref was of the usual standard,poor Listened to McPakes post match interview and like Murray its refreshing to hear a balanced,unbiased view on the game unlike the utter drivel you hear from others End of the day,we,re walking away with the 3 pts and the bragging rights and its a braw feeling C,mon the wee team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Anyone know how many Rovers fans there were? A wee mention for some common-sense policing/stewarding today. When it became obvious that there were far more of the young team up the back than there was seats to accommodate them, instead of just making them all go back to their allocated seats they opened up the section at front so they could all still stay together. Thought it was refreshing to see that level of common-sense to avoid escalating any aggro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Last season’s third tier must have been really poor if Dunfermline only lost one game last season, as they looked wretched today. If I were James McPake, I’d probably have signed more players who were capable of playing well in the league this season. Never mind, he got to celebrate in front of Dundee United fans two weeks ago, by sticking up the one all sign with his fingers, despite conceding a last minute equaliser. Great stuff! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind, he got to celebrate in front of Dundee United fans two weeks ago, by sticking up the one all sign with his fingers, despite conceding a last minute equaliser. Great stuff! They had a great season last time around, but when you look back at the teams who have been in the league previously it was night and day. In our first season after relegation, we were up against a full time Ayr side who got the best out of a trio of Shankland, Moore, Moffat and McDaid. In our second, we came up against an Arbroath side ran riot on the league with Bobby Linn running the show. Games like today are the perfect example of the difference between league 1 and the Championship. You'll get away with Otoo's defensive error in league 1 far more often. You'll also likely find opposition defences are far more liable to giving up goals. Obviously still need to get the job done, and teams are fucking horrible to play against as they'll generally go backs to the wall, but there is a difference in standards. Ironically, they could've used Todorov today as someone to freshen up their attack - the guy who had such a big impact off the bench for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_no_1 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Pretty insightful to say league 1 isn't as good as the Championship. Eureka Fitba kicks you in the balls sometimes. Thought both teams were pretty average to be frank with Raith taking the chance that came their way whereas we could still be playing now and not score. We desperately need extra bodies. No real options to change the game. Unlike the game changers on Raiths bench. Disappointing way to end the run but there you go. Well done to my Raith pals On to next week Edited August 27, 2023 by da_no_1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, 400 seats per section were being sold, with five sections eventually open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryBumpkin Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 the chant from the Rovers end asks the right question to be fair. It's either the weirdest protest about a city not having a mainline train route or the worst attempt at goading away fans about something vastly irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the pars fans forget is they gave themselves the townie nickname, I worked there for 12 years( I know I got my jags first) and if you spoke to anyone from Dunfermline they where fae the toon, going up the toon and if you said Dunfermline they said the toon( bit like geordies do) the city thing will never stick but it was a crap attempt at one up man ship imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
