Took a walk from Aberdour to Burntisland a saw a few of those stickers plastered on sign posts.

Smokies at home are a formidable force. Can't see anthing other than a hard fought Pars victory.

£184,964 in today's money. From what I hear about Alex Edwards from supporters of that era, he was probably worth about 20 times that. His name always crops up in conversations about the best uncapped Scottish players. Hopefully through add ons and sell on, we get rewarded a great deal better for Nisbet.

I would say he did as good a job marking Dom Thomas as any natural full back he's come up against this season. Looks like he's looked after himself over the years.

Dry your eyes

Can't stand Hearts. Thoughts way above their station. Wee Rangers *** wanks. Delighted we beat them.

Boo fucking hoo

We kept our shape. Our midfielders were better on the ball and we defended better. Hearts have some very good individuals but Pars are more advanced as a team.

Boo fucking hoo

The Jambos kickback boycott cetainly played into our hands.

I think it's a great chance of getting to the quarters. Good draw.

Mystery to me too. You would think their full team fell to Covid 19 or something.

Again we manage a result but there's certainly flaws in this team. Midfield to front disjointed. O'Hara was pish again. Thought the Alloa game might have been a turning point but he has continued to ghost about the pitch. Runs about but never seems to get near to the ball. Big shout to Turner, a guy I wasn't convinced about last year but was very good again when he came on.

I wouldn't write him off. I think he had done ok in the midfield role. Reactions a pretty slow but decent when on the ball. I think Wilson is a much better option alongside Turner or McInroy but Whitaker is still a decent option to have for midfield. As a right back I thought it really exposed his lack of pace. We might have to use him on Saturday though necessity but would fear for him up against some of Ays attacking threats.

Comrie looks to be out for Saturday. Martin having an MRI. Looks like he will be out for a while. Thought Whittaker was poor at right back on Saturday. Not sure who we play there now? Ian Wilson apparently played there before. Would rather have him in midfield though, think he's a really good signing. Stevie talking about being tight an narrow but still having a goal threat. Still think he is too cautious a manager but results prove him right so far. We should be trying to stay on the front foot more often. Too happy to sit back when we get in commanding positions.

Probably the hardest fixture for us so far. Seen lots of good stuff in parts of our games, but it's getting on my tits how we keep sitting deep when we go ahead in games. Think we need to try staying on the front foot when we're dominating games.

Yeah, still stick to the fact that we had really good ball retention and were very comfortable. Annoyed about that second half though. Crawford has the team far too deep when in winning positions.

The last half hour of the first half, QOS could hardly get a touch of the ball. We were ''really good'' at that stage of the game.

If we decided to turn up second half we would racked up a few. It was a job done attitude, shite goalkeeping and a stupid rash challenge that let Queens in. We look really good when we are on the front foot, some lovely football from us in that first half.

Tried our best to throw that away. Poor from us second half. Why do we seem to play for one half every week. Took our time to find our feet in the first half, but when we did we played some really nice stuff. Deserved 2-0 lead at h/t. We need to stay on the front foot when we are dominating games. We're a bit too happy to go deep with a lead at times. OFW WTF. Wilson very rash too for their penalty (though he was good apart from that). Whittaker looks finished in all honesty. He was out on his feet after the hour mark. Slow to react to situation as well. Really hope Comrie is OK. Delighted to take the points and move on to Ayr.

Expected more tbh but it's easy to forget how young he is. He never really got a consistent run of starts with us. Hopefully does well for Pars legend Stewart Petrie and Montrose.

I'm guessing there's families with multiple season tickets watching one feed in the house.

Think what they are saying is that they have committed to contracts and fixed costs. This is a commitment to outgoings but I don't think they are confirming they have the means to cover it from what I'm reading.

Steven Bell prior to his injury was one of the best central midfielders I've seen in a Pars shirt. He had only played 2nd tier football, but could've gone much further. He came to us around 22/23 so not a youth product. I find it a waste of money and time having a youth system as poor as ours. You either scout and finance it properly and produce talents akin to Hamilton, Motherwell and Killie or scrap the youth teams and spend your money on guys 20-23 who have something about them. We've done far better in that market with Nisbet, Bell, Comrie etc. I've followed Pars since the late 80's and can think of McNamara (who was brought in at 18 from another team) as the only big money sales from the youth side. That's millions on youth investment over that time with hardly any income from it or even first team players produced.
