Livvy took a well deserved lead after some nice setup play on the wing before half-time.
Second half was a bit of a blur but the second goal two Pars players ran into each other!
Third goal was a deflection after we allowed far to much room for their defender.
Fourth was a peach but again too much space.
Well done Livvy.
Pars players were a disgrace and it could have been ten - nil.

Well done to Livi, as terrible as we were, they played well. First half, how many times did they cut right through the centre of our defence? It was unbelievable. If they'd provided better finishes they'd have been 3-up before they scored the first goal. It was no surprise when they did eventually score. Second half, I was barely watching to be honest, and left well before the end. I think we had one shot on target in the 75 minutes I saw, and that was barely more than a passback straight to the keeper.

Whatever is or isn't going on behind the scenes at EEP, it's pretty clear the players have given up playing for Kenny. No creativity, no midfield, no defence, no heart and no fight.

Danny Murphy play?

[MTJ]

After watching us, an average team, annihilate Livi early in the season I really struggle to comprehend how they can thrash teams, as bad as Dunfermline have been lately.

[DomDom]

Morton's hammering was mainly down to dire defending. For some reason, Livi knew how to punish us, while other sides, like Stirling today, fail to do so.

How's Tam McManus doing?

Danny Murphy play?

Yeah, slotted in a left back, he was okay and seemed to be comfortable in possession.
Worthwhile signing.

Dunfermline are 8th.

Happy to help.

Excuse me, I'm a stranger in these parts. Could someone please direct me to the 'Let's All Piss Ourselves Laughing At Dunfermline' thread ?

Thank you.

Good win for us today, and to be honest I don't think the scoreline flattered us either.

I thought it was going to be one of those days after we missed three or four really good chances, but after we got the opening goal it was pretty much one way traffic.

I can sympathise with Pars fans because we had a performance like theirs away to Hamilton at the back end of last season which most people felt was the last straw for Robertson.

For me, they gave up after we scored the second goal and for a team of professionals that is almost unforgiveable.

The worry I'd have if I was a Pars fan tonight is whether changing the manager will actually make any difference. Sacking Kenny will blow a massive hole in the budget, and it looks to me that they need to have a major clear out in January.

If you don't have money, you can only bring players in if you get rid of some, and who is going to take any of the shirkers on display today?

The fact that John Robertson has been quoted as a replacement for Kenny is something else that would cause me concern. If Robbo ever had 'it', he certainly didn't show it with us.

Wouldn't surprise me if he jumped ship for Dunfermline either.

I said it last week, but those players should be ashamed of themselves. However funny it might be as a Rovers fan hearing their scores, they are cheating fans who pay good money to go along and support their team.

I thought Dunfermline started the game not too badly but once we went ahead there was no way back for them. Danny Murphy was their best player IMO. He tried to take the heat off Kenny after the match and said, quite rightly, that the players are to blame for the performances.

We should have had about 8 goals at least and the nearest Dunfermline came to scoring was when Liberda tipped a shot onto the bar but the game was finished by that time.

Dave MacKay at right back and Julius at centre back made the defence more solid than it has been lately. It was just a matter of time before Steven Craig would start scoring the bucketloads of chances that have fell his way.

It was an hour after the game before Stephen Kenny appeared and he looked terrible. The strain is taking it's toll, his face was drained and he struggled with simple questions. He's a dead man walking.

Managers live and die by their results and this could be the final nail in Kenny's "Pars" coffin. I agree they sgould stick by them.

I would be more inclined to get rid of Yorkston rather than the manager.

Good display from the mighty Lions!!

Bet it took MP 2 mins to come out and give his interview to the press - he deserves praise for today's showing.

The first half was pretty even, and while we were far from good, we were competing and it was a game between two sides who both looked pretty poor. However it was the same story as what we've seen so often in the last year and a bit - as soon as our team goes a goal down, the game's pretty much over. While Livingston played OK and certainly deserved to win, I didn't think they were that good to be honest, and in a sense it hurt more today because we were humped by a team who looked far shorter on ability to me than either Hamilton or Stirling did in the other two humpings. The first goal was a very good header as there were two defenders on him at the time, the second - WTF was that? Maybe it just summed up the situation we're in just now, and if it wasn't my own team it would almost have been funny to watch that goal. Good goal in the last minute though, really well hit that one.

I don't even know how I really feel about this any more - I suppose I'm kind of resigned to long term pishness, and I'm really just counting down the days until the end of the current contracts, when at least we might be able to make a start at turning it round, whatever division we might be in by then. I suppose as football fans we probably all accept that we'll have to go through a bad spell, but the last few weeks has certainly been the worst run of 3 results in a row in my time watching the Pars since 1989. I'm not sure if it's happened or not, but I certainly don't remember 3 hammerings in a row like this, even in the Premier. It goes in cycles as we all know, and I'm sure we'll be back in better form some time in the future - doesn't make it any easier to accept though. I really just hope that the club is still around to be able to make such a recovery.

A total balloon of a man that has completely fucked the club he supposedly loves. Him and Masterton have wrecked Dunfermline.

Dunfermline are suffering in exactly the same way Dundee did when we came down. All these old has-beens and wannabes will only grind you down further. They've relegated you once and will do so again if you let them. Dundee had the same problem with guys like Tam McManus, Garry Brady etc. Changing manager is necessary but will not solve the problem alone. Its going to take at least two tranfer windows for a manager to clear out all these guys on SPL money and replace them with players suitable to compete in this league. Dundee also had the nightmare financial situation to sort out as well, i dont know if that comes into the equation with Dunfermline or not?

[DAFC]

Another good post.

Some players need to either retire or decide that that they want to play football! Stephen Glass for on is a player who has played at the top level but is finished, he cant function in the low end of the Scottish First Division! The only players I would keep this season are Calum Woods, Stevie Craw and Mark Burchill. Throw Stevie Craw in there and we can build a team round that, lose the rest. Maybe keep Scott Wilson, I want him to do well so badly!
