I just heard that Jonny Smart has finally let Joe Savage out of his back pocket...

Another 3 points for us today but another less than convincing performance. Neither goalkeeper really had a save to make in the first half and it was a scrappy affair. We were awarded a penalty after a handball and Dougie Cameron made it 1-0. End of half.

2nd half we played a bit better and created more chances without the cutting edge but on-form McManus killed the game with a nice finish to make it 2-0. Tweed had a header well saved as we looked for more goals. We looked comfortable today as McCulloch had little to do. A good win and still 5 points clear.

We've finally sorted out the ugly bassa then?

Well speaking of ugly, Sophie asked us to 'suck her co*k'.

Another dissapointing result for us as we continue to drop down the table. Again our tactics were questionable and we deserved to get beat.

Fair to say the penalty was of the soft variety. I thought it was for leaning on the striker but it does appear to have been given for hand ball. How anyone could deliberately handle a ball deflected of an opponets head as you challenge for it beggars belief. Those are the things that happen to you when you are down.

It also came at a bad time for us since we had just lost our captain to a shocking late challenge by Blackadder. Fortunately it looks like he has not broken Garry Kelly's ankle but it wasn't far off. I hate that sort of challenge and he could have had no complaints if he had been given a straight red.

Our heads dropped to much after that one decision though and the second half was a non event. East Fife's defence was very impressive, I don't see them conceeding many goals over the remainder of the season. A physically dominating team who although might not entertain much will certainly get the job done. Could we have some of that please?

The first half was a pretty scrappy affair but we played much better in the second period and really could have scored a few more near the end.
Smart was immense throughout the game and I also thought Fotheringham, Walker and McManus played really well.
I still think Shire will make the play-offs along with Arbroath. The last spot will probably be between Elgin, Montrose and Dumbarton...

Anyone notice Joe Savage`s Dad arguing with an EF fan after the Ef fan giving Ugly Joe abuse?

Also,where was King Kebab?....part timer or what??

I`m not too disappointed - it was a tall order to stop an in-form EF juggernaut when we had a few players out and had been playing poorly. However the ref should have a good look at himself - and at the Shire TV pictures on Sunday night - that penalty in the 1st half was completely the wrong decision - nothing happened between the 2 players, I was lucky enough to see a replay from the video camera at half time. Thanks for that one ref.

Well, i went down hoping to see a good game, but i was getting more and more confused at the referee instead.

Can i first say that, from the 'shire fans at the game, we can only apologise to the travelling Fife fans for the uncalled sectarian singing from the 7 or so fans behind Willie's goal in the second half (Or that's when i at least noticed them), as they were, as far as we know, not connected to any of the normal 'Shire fans at the game.

I haven't had a chance to see the penatly decision again, but i'm presuming handball is the only available answer. Seems pretty damn soft though, and i doubt many of the travelers could disagree. We matched EF in the first half thanks to yet another 4-5-1 defensive style, but after the penalty, we didn't look like we could do it. We had a few decent chances from free kicks either side of half time but never got anything from them.

Good to see the largest traveling support for a while down there though. As was expected, EF are still one of the most physical sides in the 3rd division, and i can't really see past them to go up. But with a few players out, it looked like we improved as well, and didn't collapse, which i was glad for.

Shire fans in sectarian abuse shocker.

I never imagined Mad Bill in a flute band.

We'll soon be back in our rightful place miles ahead of the Shire - Coughlin will have us well sorted while Shire 'play baffling tactics' (unsure why they are baffling ) and will flail in the bottom half. Which for a team with their spending is really quite shit.

What is the answer?

Off course you are unsure why the tactics are baffling. Your complete ignorance of the club and ability to take part in an adult coversation explains that.

Surprsie surprise once again you come out with the finance line. Truely pathetic since every time I have asked you to explain it you dodge the question.

ewww no thanks soph

"Good to see the largest traveling support for a while down there though. "

Any comments to make on your larger support Mr Simon Lichtie!?!

Bet simons fans arent all fannys like you mob! arses

Just out of curiosity, how did Bobby Linn play?

Bobby did well, put in a good shift. We have so many options up front , I have no idea what the best partnership is just now. I suppose it is the proverbial "good" problem but I would find it difficult to keep the likes of O'Reilly, Gordon, Nicholas, McManus, Linn and Walker all happy right now.
Not complaining like, just an observation...

Good to see he's playing well, hope he scores a fair number of goals for East Fife while he's there, I'm a big fan of Linn, he's just not been given a fair chance at Morton YET.

Seems like you lot have a fair few options to choose from, which can be usefull when injuries/suspension begin to appear.

All the best.

fannys, arses???

get your mind out the gutter boy!!!

aye, like your minds so clean and healthy as well....

Theres a time and a place!!!


It's usually the Nightshift and you're always on it!!!

That's rich coming from you!

Aye, but I've got a 12 hour time difference at the moment, it's where the action is at that time of day/night, and you are the most frequent visitor

I thought that our second half performance was a little dull, with any chances from things like set pieces welcome only at places like Murrayfield. However, a wicked deflection off a defender which wrong footed Hill for the 2nd goal was a tad unlucky.

Most of that team on Saturday made up the team scaring everyone shitless early on in the season. So now what's happened? My guess is that he is playing decent players out of position.

Why is that? Well, injuries. Though, we are a senior league football team who should be able to adapt. In fact, a BETTER team. Also, Wylde, with all due respect, wants to manage at a senior league level so he should also be able to adapt.

As Shire fans, we have the right this season to question bad decisions and boo terrible performances, which wasn't the case a few seasons back. If we go to a non-league outfit next weekend to get beat, I will will want an axe to be grinded. I have a holiday from work the week after therefore a trip to Forfar isn't cheap by train. Therefore, I will be expecting better.

Oh, the funny thing is, we have a good team. You don't just become a bad team after 1 international break. We need to learn to cope without key players sometimes and just roll up the old sleeves.

As for the referee on saturday, I wouldn't be surprised if he is sleeping with Dave Baikie. It was never a penalty and Blackadder deserves to be bitten by one so shocking was his challenge.

What's the sudden obsession along there with Norway, btw????

I see Stenny have a Norwegian fan club, and a Norway Stand (how gay ) so, in a shocking attempt at one-upmanship, the Shire do the same.
Except for the stand. They tried to call it the Norway stand, but the Norwegian consulate complained, and threatened to cut diplomatic relations. They do have a Norway Pie Stall though. And the toilets stink of rotten fish. A fitting tribute.

Seriously, why not call it the Noway stand, because there's NO WAY you'll win the league!

Arf Arf.

Shire rocks, they know that in Norge!

As was well documented by the press earlier this year, 'shire have a relatively large fan base in Norway thanks to our fame from the last few seasons, and a few of them came over.

I must have missed that!

I'm sure they must have a wonderful standard of living over there and everything, but seriously, it has got to be REALLY f*cking boring in Norway.

its has absolutely nothing to do with the fact we have the only norwegian playing in scotland at the moment that they are following us

Torre Andres Savage?

Thats how I know he's always on it!!!

whereas you use one of your aliases!!!

It obviously can't be that as Christian Kalvenes at Dundee United is at least one more off the top of my head. B)

well he was last season.
and who is this kalvenes anyway?
and its 1 more than stenny ever had?

Erm... this is a Norwegian you're talking about, not a Brazillian.

Football is the third sport in Norway, behind whaling and knitting brightly coloured sweaters..

Kalvenes signed for United around two years ago from Brann Bergen.

'Lets count Norwegians' the Shire reach new lows of bragging rights as their season plummets to their usual wooden spoon levels.

Forza Norway!
