Relegation Royal Rumble

[Bairnardo]

Dunfermline fans were delirious with joy at getting Andy 'Andrew' Barrowman from Morton in exchange for Ross Forbes during the January 2015 transfer window. Forbes would go on to score 18 goals and make 36 assists in a highly successful stint at Morton; Barrowman meanwhile got just two goals.
Forbes also picked up a couple of assists in a 0-4 bleaching of Dunfermline at EEP in March 2015 as well as a league winners' medal at the end of the campaign;  Dunfermline meanwhile finished 7th in the third tier and Barrowman got packed off to Albion Rovers in the summer. 
Safe to say then that any player judgments made by obese messes like yourself in the Dunfermline fanbase will be safely filed in the bin, where they belong, for the rest of human history. Thanks for playing anyway champ.

Here's a wee sample of their utter, utter fail - you'll note that the obese mess is very much at the centre of this nonsense:

If we'd had Barrowman since the start of the season then we'd be far closer to the top of the table.

Finished 7th in a pub league.

We were overloaded in the middle of the park and Forbes was no more than a passenger. We signed him thinking that he was going to be a dominant, influential midfield player that would conduct pretty much the whole game whilst pitching in with a goal or two. Barrowman on the other hand had played, and scored, in the top flight with us, he was also our top goalscorer the following season. Seemed more than logical to get rid of an empty shirt and replace him with someone who has already proven himself as a goalscorer with this particular club.

Surprised a lot of people really don't expect us to end up in the top four.

wut. I'd take Barrowman over Moffat every day of the year.

Didn't we already have a thread on this?

Anyway, looking forward to toasting Barrowman's hat-trick with a few pints in the house.

Of course, some posters knew the score all along:

I don't. Dunfermline thought they'd actually be credible contenders throughout this season and have been an utter embarrassment, Zero points from nine against their main rivals for the title. Trying to win promotion by signing Andy Barrowman to play up front as their major January signing.  

It's fantastic to be a major part of their utter, utter fail again.

Dunfermline

Michael 'the Moff' Moffat as a marquee signing

John Potter

Signing Andy Barrowman as a targetman saviour

That's quite a glorious 'telt'.

That's quite a glorious 'telt'.

And pretty irrelevant to the original point about Gregor Buchanan.

[Stellaboz]

Not bothered in the slightest there is he?

[Poet of the Macabre]

I think I've broken him. All because I made fun of Dominic Shimmin.

Wish I knew it was this easy years ago.

Don’t mention Brian Wake.

Have to tip the hat to @Poet of the Macabre here. Delightful.

It is and I think he's been tossing it a lot.

So, has Gaz ‘I’d rather lose than change my philosophy’ Caldwell changed his philosophy yet? Or is his philosophy utter shite?

Only really listen to him when he's on sportsound but he's extremely irritating, like Ian Cathro except Caldwell was actually a player

There’s been no indication so far that he actually has a philosophy, or any kind of tactical plan.

Is this the weekend when the true meltdowns start?

Got a feeling that some supporters of certain teams have been in complete denial about their participation in this fight...and now it's hit them square in the coupon.

A last minute Falkirk winner, that was clearly offside should ensure the blue touch paper is well and truly lit.

Yes I believe it is. If we dont win il be at the forefront of melting down.

Au contraire - Gregor Buchanan was actually an integral part of that Dunfermline side.

Which finished 7th.

With by far the largest budget in the division.

In a pub league. 

Given that Dunfermline fans were complicit in that failure by exaggerating the level of their absolutely dung squad every week, we can safely file their views now in the bin where they belong. 

[HoBNob]

Fair play to Poet, he's done virginton a treat here.

I cant believe its still going.

[Doonhamer doon south]

Some thread this! My own lingering hope is that Queens finish 9th instead of bottom (as bottom seems ever more certain) and we do the job against whoever from league 1.

Either way it's an exciting and nervous end of the season.
