The East Fife Thread


Recommended Posts

Hope you don't mind me dropping in to your thread, out of curiosity how did Adam Livingstone look for you guys?

He's definitely well thought of at Fir Park but first team games will definitely serve him well if he can get them. It'd be interesting to see where he'll end up playing as we tend to play with wing backs however there were points earlier in the season where he was almost playing as a winger for our 20s.

Here are a few of his goals from this season in case it's of interest (first one against Queens Park in the Challenge Cup):

East Fife are a shambles! Do we actually know that to win a game you have to score a goal, hit shots and test the keeper? 3 home games in a row we have failed to register a shot on target from open play against a non league side and bottom of league sides! Come on to f**k East Fife! Get a grip ffs

When you put it like that you can't argue.

It's ridiculous that Young is still in a job, it's been pretty clear for 5/6 weeks now if not longer he isn't fit for the job. His tactics can only be described as laughable and its clear he can't motivate or inspire a group of players. 

By not making a move sooner we have now said goodbye to the promotion playoffs, lost out on a potential money spinner in the cup and most likely be forced into a relegation scrap which our players don't have the stomach for. 

The crowds at Bayview are a joke and if these isn't a statement this week coming about Young away then it's only going to get worse. We are run like an amateur club and it'll show come May.

As much as i have a great deal of time for the Fife our last visit there at new year the "amateur" feel around the club was prevailant ,from the stewarding and general movement around the club it came across as being run by dinosaurs from the seventies. Judging by the standards of your TV coverage there are some talented "young" individuals around. You need to harness young energetic professionals to kick start the  club in the right direction. Sometimes club legends can hold you back.....but im just an auld linolicker....best of luck for the rest of the season apart from Starkies of course.

The most frustrating thing about this season is that if you split the league into 3; those fighting for the title (Raith & Ayr), those scrapping it out at the bottom (Forfar & Queen’s Park) and the play off battle (Airdrie, Albion Rovers, Alloa, Arbroath, Stranraer & ourself), we are comfortably winning the middle table fight.

In matches against the other middle table teams we’ve picked up 27 points. Stranraer are the closest with 23 then Alloa (16), Airdrie (14), Arbroath (13) and Albion Rovers (12).

Matches against the top 2 haven’t carried so much weight; Alloa & Arbroath (6), Airdrie (5), Albion Rovers & Stranraer (3), East Fife (0)

What is killing us is the matches against the bottom 2; Arbroath (18), Alloa (16), Airdrie (10), Stranraer (9), Albion Rovers (7), East Fife (3)

The number of games played against each group isn’t identical but above gives a decent picture.

Very useful analysis and it saved me doing my own side, who as you know got an absolute doing from you a while ago. How you explain your performances in other games is one of the grand mysteries of our League. QP have surprised me on more than one occasion but I think the bottom two is not yet detached. Our home game against them next game is a real six pointer.
