I felt at the time that Clancy had a good game getting all the big decisions right, and the highlights show that.

It's a clear penalty. Talbot dips his head and Forbes' foot isn't dangerously high, but Talbot gets to the ball first then Forbes catches him after the ball is gone. Foul and yellow card the correct decision.

Morris is all over Oliver for the second goal than Cardle blatantly charges out of the wall before the ball is kicked like the moron he is. Both the freekick and moving it another 10 yards forward were correct.

As for the suggestion that Quitongo 'shoved' Martin for the third goal :lol: An entirely fair aerial challenge with Martin taking a classic defender's dive after losing out. Most referees bail defenders out when there's clearly not been a foul in that scenario and it's good to see a referee who doesn't buy it.

Its not fair to jump into an opponent who is playing the ball. Quintongo did not play the ball and impeded an opponent who was doing so, that is a foul.

He did not impede him. They both jumped fairly for the header then Martin choose to dive on landing rather than staying on his feet and competing for the ball, costing his team the game through stupidity.

Martin jumped for the ball, and as he was about to header it quntongo jumped into him, which is why Martin got no power on his header as he was falling backwards at the time.

Stayed away from the internet after hearing we'd lost.

We normally bounce back OK after a bad result. Hopefully a wee reminder to the players that we've got loads to do before we can even think about challenging at the right end of the table.

FTFY.

I'd rather the skunks get beat and ideally a pumping. They are flying right now, confidence is high so they could do with a sound beating to bring them back down to earth!

A draw for them wouldn't be a bad result,  keeps their momentum going and keeps them top of the league.

4-0 to the pars!

The reason Martin got no power on his "header" was because he didn't actually head the ball. He connected with his hand and was fortunate the referee played advantage rather Han giving him a straight red.

Martin mistimed the ball and fell back trying to retrieve situation. Was worried as the time but cameras cleared it up.

As Higginbothan said Dunfermline crumbled in the second half made my apple crumble taste better on Saturday night.

Anyway good game and well played Dunfermline for not sitting in so up and on champs elect (this week) at home for you guys on Saturday expect better.

From the highlights especially the goal cam it looks like the free kick goal was the keepers own fault. He set his wall up far too centrally and couldn't actually see the ball. Until it was over wall and too late to react.  

Good stuff.

Best keeper in the league, though.

Harkins' goal is even better from here - just glides into the net from nowhere :wub:

Fair play to the Pars keeper charging after the referee faster than he was coming off his line to close down Quitongo.

Well played the Greenock team, a valiant comeback to a well deserved 3 points. 

Your team exploited our puzzling 2nd half performances with a winning effect. 

Im sure we'll have this sorted out by the time you guys come to Fife.
