Steady on! That looks positively lavish compared to Crappielot.

I think you mean playing fields you highness (bow's deeply)

As part of the current regime you can seamlessly move to 1st senior Oberführer........... or Plumb-bob wan as we'll still call you

No wonder we cant find any decent players in Fife if Atheletico Bilbao are nicking them all.

look at things this way, Read the next question before looking at the response for this one. Question 1: It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.. Here are the facts about the three candidates. Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes And drinks 8 to 10 Martinis a day. Candidate B: He was kicked out of office twice, Sleeps until noon, Used opium in college And drinks a quart of whiskey every evening. Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero, He's a vegetarian, Doesn't smoke, Drinks an occasional beer And never committed adultery. Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide first ... No peeking, and then scroll down to the bottomof this post for the answers. The above question demonstrates that although someone may appear to be something in particular, quite often the truth is quite the reverse. Take this sceanrio into mind with our management team and it seems quite obvious that despite their being good guys and well liked, as football coaches they don't appear to be cutting it! As for next season I would fear for us going part-time, although I see it as an inevitable step. Theres's a wee point to keep in mind when quoting teams like Dumbarton or more particularly ESPECIALLY Dumbarton. This season we tried to sign a part time winger called McDougall (ex Par no?) but despite our offering the same or better terms being a west coaster he chose to sign for Dumbarton as they were closer to home and he would cut down on travelling. I'm not saying all the part time players are from the west but this isn't the 1st time we've missed out on a player due to geography. My point is going fully part time may not work out well for us. My own preference is for a mixture but that said there has to be a clear-out come May no matter what! Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Candidate B is Winston Churchill. Candidate C is Adolph Hitler. PS I'm not suggesting for one minute that any of our management team are evil incarnate merely that things are not always as they seem.

Dont feed the ego I usually say but... That's rich! Strikes me that Morton have in the past (and still do) struggled financially from time to time despite having a literal sugar daddy. How short his memory is, but a short spell more of Hugh Scotts mismanagement and Greenock Morton would have dead and buried. Other than the Old Firm I wouldn't wish this scenario on anyone, but if the dark days ever are to return to Cappielow and the worst comes to the worst I hope someone has a link to some of the pish uttered by the above and mails it straight back to him. It smacks loudly of we got away with it but f**k anyone else that it happens to.

Kudos to you. For almost managing to get "Dignity" and "Gavin Masterton" in the same sentence. I was just hoping that he'd fall off a mountain but your solution is better.

What you and your fellow parasites lack in honour, class and dignity you almost make up for in volume. For every decent football supporter amongst you there are at least hundred out and out wankers.

I always thought the day would come when the Pars chickens came home to roost. I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. Poor sods.

This is a black day for football and something that no true fan should be experiencing. I hope those resoncible for the utter mismanagement at Eastend Park are squirming and manage to do the right thing for DAFC and its fans before it is taken completely out of their control.

Seems to me we were royally f####d over in this derby not only by the DAFC but by the SFA and FC too. For SFA read Mr Incompetant aka Crawford Allan and Mr & Mrs Bumbling Feckwit his equally inept assistants. The linesman on the railway stand side was over-rulled by by Allan early in the 1st half and there after never offered his advice again his view was as obvious as ours the ref says "my names Allan and I'm in charge" it had wee man syndrome written all over it. For FC read Fife Constabulary. 1st they decide to all ticket this game despite none of the games at Starks Park against dunfermline being sellouts in the last 4 years. Result a sub 5000 crowd for a game that could have had another 1000 inside had common sense prevailed. 2ndly it was apparently at the behest of the match commander that the (so called) referee took action at half time thus making 100% certain of the outcome of the day. I don't usually condone violence at the football but I hope the wee shits who came through from Parsland looking for trouble found it in spades down on Links St. Take note Mr Plod there is virtually never any trouble from fans in a modern day stadium its always out in the streets before and after the game where the Policing is required. If you don't understand this constable then perhaps you really are in the wrong job.

Didn't Smith score a cracker on his debut at Starks, I missed it as I was offshore but seem to recall Smith and Holt both scored that day and it took Walker ages to score. Anyone?

To quote a Hearts fan in the pub "aye Walker came on for the last 15 but he did nothing, mind you the boy he replaced did nothing for 75 mins either".

Lordy! never mind the bees Zen I want a shot of them drugs your clearly on lad.

I have a few old nags running. Look out for; Anita Goode-Rogering, Wellhung boy and No win today Winalot tomorrow.

Nobody back from the artic circle yet then? (other than Embow on FT who lives there).

pt 1, I sincerly hope that's not the kiss of death with that quote. pt2, Wait 'til you see the catering prices at Dens, even with this warning you'll be shocked. (fcuking bandits!)

Only just noticed that Rory boulding has left Livvi for Killie. That's good for us concidering he was on fire against us last season. Of all the teams we face this season (other than the Pars) I really hope we give Livvie a doing.

Yippee!!!! Big Time! He scores when he wants!

My worries for the coming season are that we still look less than rock solid at defending free kicks and corners. I had hoped before the signings started that we'd sign; a left back, a pacy winger, a creative midfielder, a goal scorer and a collossus at centreback. Malone, Grant Anderson, Stuart Anderson and Pat Clarke just about satisfy the 1st 4 requests but no collossus! Again we were undone (as we were all too often last season) at a set piece against Motherwell, what I wouldn't give for a Sparky & Marv pairing.... or even just one of them along with what we have already. My fears are that Anderson isn't just actually a Scott McBride in disguise, I recall when McBride first played he also looked decent for a game or two as well, McBride was too lightweight and worryingly Anderson does seem to get brushed aside too from time to time. I'm not starting a hate campaign here as he's got plenty of pace and he looks a better bet than McBride did, sadly I missed the Ross Co game and by all accounts that was his best outing. My other fear is for defending set pieces as I've said, I'm not too concerned about open play defending though. My hopes are that Clarke and Graham become a quality double act, 20 goals each would be a nice change. I also really hope Ross Calaghan comes of age and we spend the entire season saying "Davo? Davo who?" Am I worried about how we'll fayre in the coming season? Well naw not rerally! a tad apprehensive perhaps but maybe that's normal for me and more down to my belief (experience) that a decent showing in the pre-season friendlys often leads to a long, hard and usually sad season. There still time for Dundee Utd to thump us and put that worry to bed though. If there's any truth in the rumour that we are getting 3 Hearts kids to offset McGlynns compo then I hope Jamie Walkers one of them. As for the other two I can't see the need for them at present and as we've seen before when you take players on loan you seem to be duty bound to play them.

Zombie team needs headless centre half. FFS Quinny your were made for the role!! Talk about type casting!!

No! no, no, David for the millionth time our mans Trnbull Huton not Les Dawson.

Or possibly junior football is about to get a massive influx of support Al. As stated earlier and elsewhere if the Raith board vote for the Newco to enter Div 1 then I very well may be looking for refunds for the season tickets I bought in May. It's bad enough watching a pish team (but they are my pish team) who are pish because they are financially bereft without them becoming morally bankrupt too.

But doesn't anyone undertand the magnitude of whats happening here? There's a club literally dying here, it's bleeding it's last as we type! Don't any of you care????? Nope, me neither I'm away for my tea. Ta ta.

While I agree that it's a bigger issue than the club it's also as you say a bigger issue than that Newco as well, Scottish football should be a bigger issue than just the Old Firm but it's not. Sadly for a much longer time than I've been watching the Rovers that's been exactly the case and in consequence the OF has moulded the game into the sack of shit we have today. Giving up on watching the Rovers on this point of principal is akin to me of throwing the baby out with the bath water though. Whilst I entirely agree with facts (as clearly we both see it) that Rangers Newco should not be entitled to automatic entry to the 3rd Div we all know that they will be more of a revenue draw in football than say Cove Rangers or Spartans. With this in mind the outcome is damn near 1,000,000 to 1 on that they'll get back in. Likewise it will of course for a whole catalogue of reasons be wrong if they were to be allowed into the 1st but in this case (as much as I detest them and Celtic) it may yet be worth it if the boundaries were shifted and the power was shifted away from them. Couple that to a restructuring which increased league size and had more promotion places and it might, just might be worth it. There are too many self serving twats running Scottish football and not enough being done to improve the standards and quality of the over all game. I don't want Rangers coming straight into the 1st Div. In fact I don't want Rangers or Celtic in the Scottish game at all but if they are to be there there has to be changes and now the best time to get them IMO. Whatever happens and what ever league a Newco comes or doesn't come into I'll not be stopping following my team. They've fucked up the game IMO in Scotland and my team is struggling partly because of the mess they've got the game in but stopping going to watch the Rovers would only kill them off the quicker. As has and is being proved no matter what happens those two will always survive in some twisted and debautched form or another. As I said I admire the principal behind your stance though.
