Not really sure it needed a statement. If his comments fire our players up then it will have worked for him and would also kind of sum up our group of players if they can only get up for a game because of what another manager has said.

Not sure why the EK fans on here cant understand why people don't like him. His tweet on saturday about players being out injured and suspended before the game as some sort of excuse is a bit embarrassing, then this crap about albion rovers training, albion can frankly train where and when they want, what does it have to do with him, he never really gives the opposition any credit despite any team that beats them having a tiny fraction of a budget he has. This on top of the whole soldiers of love caper from last year. Don't have any evidence to say he is a bad guy but a complete weirdo for me.

It looks like our fate is almost sealed now, there is nothing about the management and team that give me any hope we can string a few results together and thats hard to say as I normally always look for positives. The appointment of McIntyre hasnt worked at all, every time I hear him speak or watch him at the touchline I just don't see how he can motivate or inspire a team. We really needed someone better in.

McKenna wont be playing in League 2

You surely cannot STILL be banging on about all this? You really are a complete simpleton, if you have an opinion on a manager or a player its exactly that, it isn't truth or fact, you then go onto say people are allowed an opinion whether you are right or wrong but you don't seem to like it when people questioned the so called rift or the noubles mates thing.

Its been a shambles of a season, other than the 4 game winning streak in August we have been out of our depth, poor quality signings from both managers and a horrendous injury list. The goalkeeping situation needs sorted asap, Gaston needs to be back in or else serious questions need to be asked, agree also about our set up last night, seemed all wrong from the offset. McIntyre close to making this his own team now, 6 of his additions started last night so he needs to get us set up in a way where we actually look like competing and carrying some sort of threat, even if its with a view to next season. Not sure the issue with Bird?? unless i have missed something.

A bit more competitive all round on saturday and so good to see bodies back and an actual substitutes bench! Big game this week

Cant see any of our current players dropping down to league 2, other than Balde who's just went to East Kilbride. I cant recall how many points we were ahead of relegation spot when Dick and Ian took over but remember them steadying the ship, then completely overhauled the squad and won league 2 on the last day the next season (one of my favourite seasons ever watching Arbroath) we then reached the play offs in season 2 in league 1, following season we romped league 1 and then stayed in the championship comfortably almost achieving promotion to the premier, wheels came off a bit since the defeat at Kilmarnock but nice to see him back involved. Expect a bit of a rollercoaster at times but cant see it being anything other than successful.

Would imagine our players will be on triple / quadruple the wages East Fife can afford and as been mentioned, I don't see any of them wanting to drop down 2 leagues. Good luck to Dick, it looks like he has a similar job to what he had with us all those years ago so should do well.

Never seen the hype about Balde, he was ok when he first came then the opening stages of this season he was miles of it, not a championship player for me. Take into the account the off field baggage, it looks like McIntyre came to the same conclusion as Campbell did. Good luck to the lad.

Aberdeen need an experienced figure head manager for me. No point pissing about with guys like Glass and Robson, it just doesn't work.

Good luck to the lad, a quick look sees he has played a handful of games with Marine, Curzon Ashton, Farsley and Alfreton Town, would suggest it will be a big jump up in standard to the championship. Would imagine he is another we will be putting up, so should be training every day, god forbid he stays fit !!

Another wild, crazy post, this is the first season we have really struggled with injuries, its a freak season, I would imagine we could look towards our physio situation, type of training, amount of training etc but it genuinely seems a freak for me. Injuries seem to have got even worse recently so cant be blamed on either management team. The past few seasons I actually think our fitness, intensity and general work ethic was a major part in where we finished in the league. I know for a fact that we have played quite a few bounce games against all sorts of opposition and would think McIntyre will continue this when everyone is back fit so the point about st johnstone is just made up nonsense. We're not some two bob outfit like you make it, club is run very professionally.

Agree with Simon, with everyone available or even only 1 or 2 missing we are every bit as good as QP, Ayr, Inverness and Dunfermline and whilst we'd maybe be in the bottom two come the end I would be confident we could make a right fist of it and at least take it to the last few games. Can't criticise McIntyre too much, his hands are tied, not sure some of his signings have been great but we simply needed bodies to fill a team, the fact that the team held out so long last night was really quite amazing (or maybe just that Ayr are poor) Bit tough on Ali Adams, can't quite believe he was left out, but again due to another injury we have to bring in a loan and the lad is not coming in to sit on a bench.

I can understand Ayr wanting it on, everything fine just now weather wise and pitch seems in good nick. The forecast could change etc etc. I am not sure what normal protocols, rules are in place here but the SFA / maybe even police should surely be stepping here to avoid the inevitable, its absolutely abhorrent to ask our players and supporters to make the travel in the expected conditions. Scottish football at its farcical best.

Unsure how anyone can be critical of Stowe after that, the lad put in a terrific shift in terms of effort and was lively throughout. He’s hardly played so to be quoting his goals and assists isn’t a true reaction imo. Jacobs very good again, the overall fight was there and there’s really nothing between most of the teams. Hopefully the break helps us

Didn’t see that coming, brilliant news

I don’t think anyone is saying it’s easy. We can’t even get a goalie coach never mind a player in. Seems like a new arrival getting announced tonight, let’s hope it’s a player to get excited about and not a squad filler.

Its a tough one, the two that have came in (although early doors) I would take a guess that they wont start in our strongest team once we have everyone fit. Bodies in seem like a necessity though

In the aftermatch interviews all it takes is the guy to ask McIntyre when is player X Y Z likely to be back in training or playing to give us some sort of idea.

Amazing that we absolutely schooled Partick 3-0 just a few months ago. Massive difference today. Desperately need players back and another few additions as that group we had available today will Comfortably finish bottom.

Good luck to the lad and definitely great to get a defender in with all the injuries we have. It seems we may be continuing with the hybrid system. Can’t see this guy coming over for 18 months to train two nights a week. Thought these type of signings may have finished with the sellars scouting regime being ripped up. Be interesting to see if he is ready to come straight in. I suspect he’ll be similar to Banks

Absolutely astonished at this take It 99% cost us two valuable points

Hylton would be as far away from the starting line up as possible for me. What an idiot, totally cost us 2 points

Should’ve won that yesterday no doubt. The points return from Morton, Raith and Dunfermline didn’t merit our performances but feel it’s been an opportunity lost. I didn’t agree with all the doom and gloom a few weeks ago, we had some injury issues but we’re a match for anyone in the league with close to our full team out. I thought Dunfermline were very poor, it’s going to be one almighty battle for that 4th play off spot and avoiding the bottom 2 positions.
