Conference trucks::football;1

Well as none of the other SQF lads have 'found' us yet, looks like I'll be 
putting in the first match report of the new Scottish season.

On Saturday we played Hearts at home. Obviously, as with everyone else in this
conference, I went along full of much hope. We missed the first five minutes,
as we always do, and got in to find our beloved team 0-1 down. We looked to be
playing quite well though and I thought it wouldn't be long until we pulled
the scores level again. Soon, a penalty was given  and along pops the much
recently praised Ian McCall for Dunfermline.......to coolly blast the ball 
against the bar and almost back to the centre circle. What a waste!

Not so long after that a superb ball through and some good control on the move
saw Kozma with only Smith to beat, and again he goes for glory and blasts it 
way over the bar from about five yards, rather than a simple tap that, may not
have looked as glorious but at least would have effective.

Soon after that the inevitable happened, a Hearts player was sent off for an
absolutely horrendous foul on McCall. Then almost just as inevitable, Hearts
scored a second. And I hate to admit it but it was a great goal by John 
Robertson.

The second half went on the way of the first with The Pars having much more of
the pressure, and Hearts doing a lot more kicking....of our players. I really
hope this isn't the way Joe Jordan has taught his players to play footie.

With the end looking a likely 0-2 defeat up popped Farningham to score an
absolute cracker from about 25 yards. Our hopes were once again raised but try
as we did we could not put the ball in the net again.

All in all, a decent enough performance with what was a pretty unfortunate
scoreline. We now get the opportunity to make up for that when we take on
somebody called Celtic tonight at East End Park. First two points of the season
for us...............:-)

    >Well as none of the other SQF lads have 'found' us yet
    
    	You DON'T have to tell them you know. :-)
    
    	I always look out for the Pars score. Good luck this year, even
    after the bad start on Saturday.

Well, another defeat at the hands of our old enemies Celtic on Tuesday night.

I know most of the papers said that Celtic were on top for most of the game but
I feel I give a more biased opinion than them and things looked well level up
until we got a defender sent off for deliberately handling the ball. That then
left probably the worst full back in football today exposed just a touch and
Celtic took good advantage of this and slipped another two past us to end the
score at 1-3. 

One consilation was the absolutely superb goal from Ian McCall. He has got 
sooooooo much skill it is unreal, but he is just sooooo damn lazy. I believe
he likes the odd beer or two, and thats only during the game....

All in all I really think we have a not too bad a side this year...... apart
from our central defence, and possibly our managers ideas on substitutions...
Who is this defender that is even worse than Anton Rogan? A young chap who has
come through the youth ranks called Mark Haro. I think the only reason he gets 
a game is that his throw ins our outrageous. He throws it further than some 
people can kick it, and this creates quite a few chances for us...

I may well keep a low profile for the next couple of weeks as our next two 
games are Aberdeen and Rangers, both away. I say we'll only lose 5 goals over
the two games.....I'm still optimistic see...:-)

Tommy.

ps. Steve, I bet a few people are hoping I keep the secret of the new location
    of this notes file. Well, for a small fee I might just do that. Send your 
    donations to.........

    Being night shift tonight (17/8/91) I was unable to make the trip to
    Aberdeen so off I went to East End Park to watch the reserves.
    The Pars got off to a bad start by going down a goal after 7 minutes
    but with Steady Eddie playing centre forward and obviously trying for a
    first team place he scored from a Lang through ball which he put in the
    net after 13 minutes .
    After a gutsy first half performance the pars went in 3-1 up Drizik
    scored one and I'm uncertain as to the scorer of the third, it may have
    been Paul O'Brien.
    A dubious hand ball in the penalty area reduced the goal difference to
    one when the Dons centre forward converted the spot kick.
    A dreadful defence allowed the Dons to equalise. And that was the score
    as I left the park with 2 minutes to go. The Pars did have a last ditch
    effort just as I was leaving Barkley forcing Watts to bring off a
    superb reflex save.
    I'm afraid that Drizik has about as much chance of making it in
    Scottish premier football as I have of taking over from Ken Olsen !!!!
    I'm off to the Alloa match on Tuesday night and can only hope we don't
    blow it. 
    
    
    The Derby Ram.
     

If only we could take the season back three weeks and start again, maybe ye
old Pars would stay awake longer second time round and gather more than the
poxy 1 point we've managed to scrape so far.

Yes you've guessed it, another stunning performance on Saturday at home to
the then second bottom placed Airdrie. Surely two points, our first win, 
in the bag.

How wrong can you be, we soon find ourselves two goals down and looking like
we are going to lose quite a few more. A scrappy goal right on half time raises
all our hopes for the second half....you think we would have known better eh!

A very scrappy second half with The PArs just managing to keep Airdrie from
scoring again. Still just one point from seven games, and only two goals scored.

It wouldn't be too bad if it looked like anybody cared, but when your are 2-1
down at home to a lowly placed team you would expect someone on the coaching
staff, eg the manager, to show some concern and try and shake the players up,
rather than a bench full of people sitting with their arms crossed looking
as though they are more concerned with organising the next night out than 
winning a game of footie.

I heard a very weird rumour today that Billy McNeill is starting to be linked
with Dunfermline. Orville the Duck would be able to inject more life into
the team than Iain Munro seems capable of doing right now.....

One glimmer of hope remains though....we are only two games away from
qualifying for Europe.....hahaha!!!

Tommy

    
    Ian Munro was sacked this morning.
    
    ...Derek
    

So the board got rid of Munro then. Must have heard my moaning in this 
conference yesterday morning....

I must admit I was trifle surprised when I heard who they were after, Alex 
Totten - the current St Johnstone manager. He seems to be well and truly 
settled in at Perth and lets face it, the outside look of their setup is 
just a wee bit better looking than ours...and I don't just mean the ground.

At least it looks as thoug they are showing ambition. Who knows, I might even
go to another league match and forget that ban I gave myself after last
weekends dismal display.

Tc

So here we are, with probably the worst team I think we have had in MANY years
and we are in the Skol cup final.

I cannot deny that we were just a touch fortunate last night to have edged 
Airdrie out after a penalty shoot out, but thats the way it goes eh chaps.

Oh sorry, for those who haven't managed to find out yet, Dunfermline beat
Airdrie last night after a penalty shoot out. The game finished 1-1 after 
extra time, but The Pars were a bit lucky to have been awarded a very soft 
penalty with two minutes to go.

The penalty shoot out was tense as ever, with Andy Rhodes who played another 
blinder, trying so hard to give our outfield players something to go for. But
every time he saved one, our they missed, our outfield players go and miss too.
Andy must really wonder what the **** he is doing at our club...but thats
another story. Anyway, the final two kicks, first for Airdrie, went to John
Watson, an ex-Dunfermline player. Rhodes stood his ground and blocked the shot.
Next came Johns close buddy and business partner Norrie McCathie for The Pars.
Wham, straight in the back of the net and "Here we come the final...."

Bring on the Hibees...:-)

Tc

    I too was there last night Tommy and can only say that I'm glad the TV
    cameras were there to capture Andy Rhodes' tremendous reactions. It has
    certainly shown the rest of the country just how valuable a player he
    is.
    
    My gut feeling is that after the cup final on 27th October he will be
    on his way to a big club back down in England pos. Everton, Chelsea has
    been mentioned and I rate him a far better keeper than Chris Woods and
    therefor would be expecting over �1m for him. Some profit for a �70,000
    investment.
    
    Getting back to last nights game I'm just glad I'm not an Ardrie
    supporter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    The Derby Ram. 

    
    	Please, please, please, give the Hibs a good gubbing for me!!!
    
    	Man Eeek :-)
    

    
    Dunfermline v Hibs in the Final.  Happy days are here again.  Great
    pairing. Makes a change.
    
    Gary.

    You can't take anything away from the Hibee's last night they out
    played Rangers in ever area.
    But it appears that all media / TV personnel have written The PARS's
    off as potential cup winners.
    
    I believe that last nights Hibernian team was their first choice. Well
    concidering we were without Kozma (playing in Russia) O'Boyle (injured)
    and with Robertson still not fully match fit I feel that Hibs are in
    for one hell of a shock if they digest everything that they hear and
    read.
    
    I think I'll visit the bookies and find out what the odds are against
    the Pars winning the treble,the UEFA cup,the First division runners up,
    and the Fife cup.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    Jocky Scott has got a month to get the team beleaving in themselves
    again and that starts this weekend aginst St Mirren.
    
    Someone mentioned that Sharpe has been connected with Luton, after
    Tuesdays game I can only assume that it is Luton AIRPORT and not the
    football team. He was drossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
    
    The Derby Ram.

So, after last weeks 'scraping' into the Skol Cup final it was back down to
the serious business of league duty. And they haven't forgotten how to do
that now have they. Gubbed 4-1 at home by second bottom St. Mirren...after 
taking an early lead. Jocky Scott (our new manager) has certainly got a task
on his hands here.Fortunately I missed the game due to a wee weekend break
away in sunny Reading, and am I glad. It has only just turned October and
already we look certainties for the drop. How depressing....

The only bright note we have so far is the lucky breaks we have had on the 
way to the Skol Cup final. What do you lot out there think about Airdrie
bringing in their lawyers and trying to get the final postponed and the semi
replayed...and all because of a bad refereeing decision. And as for sueing
Syme (the ref in charge) for loss of earnings....

If they can't accept a refs decision then they shouldn't be in the game. Do
you think they would have said "Oh no, we don't want it" if the ref had gave
that very same decision to them? Would they ****. Every team gets bad decisions 
against them, just mention Maradona to England supporters, but that is part
and parcel of the game. I know I wouldn't have been happy if something like 
that had went against us but you've got to take these things on the chin.

Chuck 'em out of the league for bad sportmanship thats what I say....

Tc

    Hi Pars,
           If a mere Falkirk Supporter can add something to your Note I 
    think it is too early to get depressed about your form.I was at the 
    Airdrie game and although I agree that Dunfermline were C***, Airdrie
    were far from being World Beaters themselves,although if you read the
    West-of-Scotland press,they lost everything except a nomination for a
    Nobel prize for sport.The point is that it only takes a small turn in
    luck or a boost from 1 good result(The Skol Cup Final!!!) to change 
    the attitude of a team,and the new manager must be given some time to
    make his mark on the team.
      The depressing part is that there already seems to be two leagues
    forming,with the bottom 5 alredy starting to be spaced out,although
    I expect Hibs to be down amongst us once their bubble bursts.The bit
    that annoys me most is that we seem to be getting the blame for the
    Scottish teams going out of Europe.If too many games is our problem,
    how come the English clubs(who have had as many games)are all through?
     Anyway,Falkirk play the Pars on Tuesday.....SUPER.  

Guess who got gubbed again at the weekend?

Maybe I should have started off with an easier one eh! 

3-0 away to our opponents in the Cup Final, Hibs. This will lull them into 
a false sense of security then BAM, 4-1 to us in the final...haha...woa man
I'm gonna have to stop taking those drugs.....

Does anyone know if there are any other teams in Britain who haven't yet one
a league game this season. Strange record to hold, but we hold it and there
is no taking it away from us, not even by Airdrie supporters:-)

That is all gonna change tonight though when we take the full two points 
from Falkirk. Sorry Stuart, but thats whats gonna happen even though you gave
us some kind words in the previous note.

Tc

    With regard to note 59.15....I thought that I made it fairly clear that
    the game is on (Super)Tuesday..........

    I,ve got to agree Tommy , I feel that we are about to loose the record
    for least number of points in the Scots football league and the English
    league, but that will all change tonight when we will give The Bairns
    such a roasting that Westwater will need a pair of oven gloves. 
    
    This is the win that we need to install confidence in both players and
    management.
    
    Come on ye Parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr's
    
    
    The Derby Ram.

    
    aye.....guid yin 8*))
    
    

I should be keeping my head down low today but you've got to face the music
sometime.

I was at that pathetic 4-0 defeat last night. 6 quid and I didn't even see most
of the second half. The worst thing about this run of defeats is that I can 
see no way we can get out of it in a hurry...if at all. Due to the very
clever style of management of Iain Munro we have been left with a team of
three feet midgets, who can skip very nicely, but aren't much use on a 
football pitch with grown ups.

Jocky Scott should resign now before his reputation is well and truly
tarnished by this bunch of absolute no-hopers.

Tommy.

ps. PLEASE, no comments in the canteen today if you see me:-)

	Oway the Bairns'''


			Al.

    It appears I was too hasty in believing that we were about to loose our
    infamous record. I was about to say that last nights episode was a load
    of S... but at least you can grow stuff in the garden with S... !!
    
    We must be the shortest side in the three divisions and yet we have
    snow white and the seven dwarfs turning out week after week,.......
    Davies,McCall,Leitch,Wilson,Cunnington,Sharp,Robertson and Snow White
    herself Kozma because he's been playing like a (he hasn't got a thingy
    between his legs).
    
    Things started to liven up for us in the second half after Jocky
    wouldn't allow McColl or the young lad Kelly (what a bandit!!)to return
    to the field and brought on Davies and Sinclair. They were obviously
    out to try for a first team place. Well if they proved something to the
    boss them the boss should take note and have the guts to DROP McCATHY
    and MOYSE and bring in Haro as a sweeper with the introduction of Laing
    who has impressed me with his skill and determination in the reserves.
    
    But above all Scott has got to purchase a player who wants to score
    goals and is tall enough to win balls in the air. Just like every other
    team in the league.
    
    Stuart you are probably waiting for some remark from me with reference
    to Westwater and oven gloves. Well I wasn't truly accurate as good
    ol'Westy only needed on oven glove for the jacket potatoe as we served
    up a TOSSED salad.
    
    The bains played well Yukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
    
    The Derby Ram.                          

    I've been on a course for a couple of days and haven't had chance to
    add a note yet since Super Tuesday the sequel:Nightmare On Halbeath
    Road.
    I said in a previous note that the Pars were C*** in the semi.After
    Tuesday showing,it was obvious that they had raised their game to be
    that bad.I also said that you shouldn't panic yet.Forget it...panic.
    I've seen most of the bottom end this season,and Dunfermline are by far
    the worst.As Eric said,Westie did'nt have anything to catch,and I think
    even the ref took pity on Dunfs and restricted the score!!!!

    
    I calculate that if you log these past two defeats (4-0 & 1-0) on an
     SPC chart, then the estimate would be that the next game should result
    in a 2-0 win.
    
    But then my training in SPC isn't until wednesday night.
    
    Archie
    

    Well the good old days are back again. That us doubled our points for
    the season now.(or to look on the bright side we have only dropped 24
    points so far from a pos.26!!)
    
    I was very impressed with thier performance and gritty determination.
    If they play with the same amount of conviction next Sunday then Hibs
    are in for a fright.
    
    Kozma was without doubt the man of the match and play his midfield role
    with the same effect that Trevor Steven had when at Rangers.
    
    Rhodes had little to do (one save) but when called to stop an Aberdeen
    attack just before half time he pulled of one of his world class saves.
    
    Raymond Sharp certainly looked comfortable back in his left back
    position and Siclair ha sshown the fighting qualities that one
    associates with wee George. 
    
    If O'Boyle is fit enough for the final next week and he plays out on
    the right with Sinclair out on the left with McWilliams and Kozma in
    the centre I would feel we could well be on our way to EUROPE.
    
    My selection for next week is as follows:-
    
                                 RHODES                  
    
    
    WILSON         McCATHIE            MOYSE              SHARP
     
    
            DAVIES                            KOZMA
    
    
    O'BOYLE         McWILLIAMS      LEITCH              SINCLAIR     
    
    
    SUBS:- FARNINGHAM
           McCALL
    
    
    WHAT WOULD YOUR TEAM BE?????????????????????
    
    THE DERBY RAM.

    EX
    
    

    Did you spot the deliberate mistake? I had Farningham as a sub. Who I
    meant to insert was Haro.

Well, not long to go now. Sundays Cup Final is looming and I'm getting excited.
It's not often teams like ours get to particpate in such games, but we've made
it. Maybe a bit (heehee) luckily, but we're there none the less.

I'm not sure if I'm more excited at going to the game, or just at the chance of
spending ALL Sunday getting p*ssed.....

No matter the result I'll be out on Monday recovering. See you all Tuesday.

Tc

    
    I'd hide until Tuesday 1992 if I were you 8*))
    
    

Why hide. I've been taking stick all season, at least we got to the final which
is something not a lot of people would have expected at the start of the season.

Maybe I'm a little biased but I really don't think we were as bad as the press
are making us out to have been. Fair enough Hibs were the better team, but if
you look back how many shots on goal did they have? Not a lot. Apart from
Ray Sharp, our defence coped extremely well, and I think if we'd had a proper
striker in there we may well have sneaked a couple ourselves.

And as for the penalty. How many other people after seeing the replay think
that it wasn't a penalty? Take a close look. Weir gets hassled a bit but no 
more than usual, then he goes to shoot at goal and miss kicks and falls. But 
who are we to complain at bad penalty decisions eh :-)

I suppose the one good thing coming out of the final was that (I know this is
hard to believe) we are quite a bit better than we have been and Jocky Scott
does seem to slowly be getting things into order.

Bring on the Scottish Cup.....

Tc

    Oh yes and Mr Burridge was inundated with shots was he??
    
    
    Sheesh

So good old Dunfermline get yet another stuffing, 3-1 to Airdrie. We are not
even into December yet and it is about 99% certain now we are going down.
What a miserable thought. I didn't go to last nights game, and wont be back
for a long long time after watching Saturdays disgraceful 5-0 home defeat
by Rangers.

After all the nonsense I'd read in the papers about how the Dunfermline lads
were gonna give Dale Gordon a real baptism in Scottish football etc etc, then 
he proceeded to walk through us at every opportunity. VERY embarrassing.

And whilst I'm in this bad mood....GIVE IT A REST WITH THIS CUNNO CRAP PLEASE.

    CONGRATULATIONS!
    I have just been to the Falkirk-Dunfermline match,and I can only say
    well-done to the Pars.Falkirk seemed to have the attitude that all they
    had to do was turn up and they would win.How wrong.Although Dunfermline
    aren't world beaters by a long way they have at least improved enough
    to be mediocre,which was enough to best Falkirk
    Again:- congratulations,I know what its like to go for ever without
    winning.

    
    Well, it's been a while since there have been any entries in this topic
    hasn't it. And no Bl**dy wonder, what an absolutely cr*p team to
    support. God knows how many games have been played in the Scottish
    Premier league so far, but we have managed to win a marvellous TWO of
    them, and both wins were against the fabulous Falkirk (doesn't make up
    for all those other losses I'm afraid). Then on Saturday I had to
    SUFFER yet another humiliating display against bottom of the first
    division Forfar. I must admit though we did well to come away with a
    fine 0-0 draw......
    
    Now Luton must be REALLY bad to have to put up with more stick than us,
    or is it that we are SOOOOOO much worse that you noters can't even be
    bothered wasting your newly manicured fingernails on typing up slags
    against us:-)
    
    Anyway, the reason I have re-surfaced is after reading in the Liverpool
    note that our man Istvan Kozma may be having a wee trial down there.
    Please please please take him away. He can be an excellent player but
    he has obviously lost all interest in playing alongside this cr*p, and
    even in trying to sell himself. Who can blame him eh. He's just an
    expense we can no longer afford. I must admit I haven't heard anything
    of this rumour....
    
    Well, enough of this doom and gloom, back to happiness...now where did
    I put that Morrissey album....
    
    Tommy.

    
    So our 'mini-roll' has the team charged up with confidence and we are
    an absolute cert to beat the Hearts at home in the cup on Saturday. I'll
    go along with that (cough). They must win though or else I will have
    to spend too much time in the pub on Saturday afternoons, 'cos I 
    refuse to go to another league game.....
    
    Tommy
    
    I'm not sure whether it would be a good thing to win on Saturday
    though...just imagine the calls of 'cheat' etc etc in this otherwise
    very friendly topic......

    
    First game of the new season ends in a 1-1 draw away to Air United. Not too
    bad a result... better than St. Mirren anyway teehee. I wasn't at the
    game but do believe that Air played their usual kicking game.... Never
    mind, thats life in division one eh...!!!

    re last
    
    "usual kicking game"
    
    This comment coming from a Dunfermline supporter is quite unbeleivable
    How you can say Ayr normally play that way is beyond me. Ayr did not
    have a single player sent off last season, 1 of only 3 clubs in
    Scotland which managed this. Cast your mind back a few years to a Cup
    game at East End Park. Ayr in Division 2 and the "Mighty" Pars in the
    Premier. A 1-1 draw but the Pars win 1-0 on sendings-off. The replay
    at Somerset starts the same way with Bobby the Jobby Smith booting
    Henry Templeton onto the running track and Ross Jack shown the red card
    for an assault on Ian McAllister. Faced with intimidating circumstances
    like these, it's understandable that Ayr folded to 2-0 defeat. If you
    had made it to the match you would have seen Scott Leitch running
    around like a headless chicken swiping at anyone and everyone, Neil
    Cooper's oscar winning "dying swan" routine everytime the ball went out
    for a corner/throw-in etc, Rab Shannon's 2-footed attack on Duncan
    George which earned him a booking and many more examples of how NOT to
    play football, if that's what your team learned in the Premier League,
    thank God  I don't have to watch it every week. BTW if the STV
    cameraman had been a bit quicker, he would have seen McWilliams
    retaliating to a challenge from Kennedy which won the ball and causing
    two needless sendings off.
    
    Still we in Ayr have come to expect this from Dumbfermline players over
    the past 4-5 years.
    
    Kev...

    
    My goodness, this must be a first for this topic. I have entered a few
    notes in this topic, a while back now granted, and have never had
    anyone 'bite'. Thanks. The whole point of my previous was in
    'retaliation' to a noter in the Ayr topic who stated that 'DuMfermline
    played their usual kicking game...'. For one, the spelling mistake in
    his note obviously wasn't as deliberate as yours (small irritation),
    but more importantly I don't think you guys can make a judgement on
    a team you have only played two or three times in the past 4-5 years.
    Having said that though you did make a few astute comments about some
    of our team. Scott Leitch... Headless chicken... same thing really.
    
    Anyway, I can't really say much more as I wasn't there, but if you
    really want to see a kicking team... (out goes the line) go watch
    Hearts...
    
    Cheers
    Tommy.

    Point taken Tommy,
    
    but I did realise you were "baiting". I think I've been noting long
    enough now to smell a tasty morsel when it's dangled in front of me,
    but I enjoyed the wee rant, get's a few things off the chest, know what
    I mean ? 
    As for only having played the Pars 2-3 times in 4-5 years that may be 
    true but I've seen enough on TV to convince me that they are a 
    "physical" side. Enough said.
    
    As for Sal's spelling....
    
    Words fail me..
    
    
    Cheers,
    Kev..
    

    
    Well, since my last entry there have been some very pleasant victories
    for The Pars that see us move comfortably into the next round of the
    Skol Cup (against Aberdeen) and to the top of the league. I must say
    though, from what I have seen so far (which isn't much admittedly) the
    rest of the first division must be pretty bad because we are just as
    cr*p as last year... although I still don't think we are a team of
    'kickers'...:-)
    
    A win on Wednesday at Pittodrie would set us up nicely for our second
    top of the table clash in two games against local rivals and 'wannabees'
    Raith Rovers....
    
    Tommy.

    
    Heres my first entry of the season . I was at the Hamilton game but
    couldn't bring myself to address the conference after such a terrible 
    game.
    However having been to the Raith match today with Raiths two shots at
    our goal in 90 minutes, one hit Hamilton the other missed him and was
    declared a goal. DuMfermline had most of the game (I'd better not call
    it a game or I could find myself in trouble with the Trades discription
    act) The loss of Cunnington was a blow but his replacement, Sinclair
    did try to draw the Raith defence with his lightening speed down the
    left wing but lack of experience showed in his final delivery. However
    I'm glad he's in our squad.  Derek Laing is sure to be a regular first
    teamer one day. I watched him in the reserves last season against the
    likes of Aberdeen, Rangers, Celtic etc. and showed promise this also
    reflects as to why he was Scotlands Youth captain. Still only 19 years
    old he has so much potential.
    So to sum up the ninety minutes of HELL...yes I did suffer it to the
    bitter end...only because I didn't believe that we could play so much c*ap
    for so long.. I was wrong ..........
    
    The Pars were PARthetic.....
    The Rovers were Repulsive Rubbish...
    The Referee was a Right B***ard.....
    
    If this is a taste of things to come I wont be renewing my season
    ticket at the end of this season instead I shall invest my 17/6d in the
    post office......
    
    Thank God that I'm on day shift next Saturday .....
    
    Eric The Par....
    

    eric,
    just to let you know that you never missed much last w/e
    they were just as bad.
    
    but it might get better???

    Mark I don't know about your title heading ...maybe it should not read 
    "Bring back Munro" but should read "Bring back Capital Punishment"
     because they are murder.
    
    Maybe they have at last realised they are in the First division after
    Saturdays dicking of Sterling at Ochill View.
    
    Being night shift I wasn't prepared to travel to Stenhousemuir not
    after the past two episodes did you make it? or indeed anyone else out
    there... That includes you Tommy.. You have gone quiet over the past
    couple of weeks.
    
    Eric the Par..

    I think the pars should forget about the super league and concentrate 
    on the 1st division and playing more open attractive football.   
      Maybe that way some of the part-time supporters will boost the
     gates. 
        ( I still think the pies are getting worse).

    Well another defeat for the Pars this weekend. 2-1 away to St. Mirren.
    Stick to the 1st division? Thats being a bit over ambitious at the
    moment. I can't really say much about whats been going on on and off
    the pitch  lately as I haven't been here (that explains the reason for
    my lack of notes Eric), although I probably wouldn't have put anything
    in anyway as the team is rather embarrassing at the moment.
    
    I look forward to reading some good old excuses to explain away our
    current situation.....
    
    	Tommy.

    See yer tommorrow Tommy , thats if I can find you in the crowd !!!
    I have been looking forward to this fixture if just to give big Derek
    Grant some verbal. But alas he has chickened out and moved to Montrose
    for an undisclosed tranfer signing on fee ( rumour has it that the fee
    was equivalent to a weekends overtime in the stores).
    
    We could always ask Frank Bough, with his sado/masocistic fetishes to
    become our Federation Chairperson.
    
    I feel ripped off this season having purchased a season ticket to find
    that DAFC have been playing reserve games at 1400 kickoffs on Tuesdays 
    AND behind closed doors.
    Though I shall still follow the Pars they can whistle for my season
    ticket money next season. I'll just pay at the turnstyles.
    

                   -<  AND ANOTHER 2 POINTS >-
         Well the super pars have once again done it, yes another two 
        brilliant points. What makes it even better is that good old 
        Raith droppped a point and the blue brazil once again didn't 
       get any.

        Can you possibly let me know the address of the club shop, if
    one exists. Being an exiled Pars supporter its about time my
    wife bought me a kit to go with the very nice DAFC tracksuit I
    bought in Blackpool.

    Well thats the best i have seen the pars play this season,they played good
    attacking fitba and were steady at the back.
    Oh they also scored 2 goals!!!
    
    And i think they will make sure raith lose there first game next week.

    NO WONDER NO ONE HAS ENTERED INTO THIS TOPIC SINCE NOV THE 9TH 

    You are allowed to sign your name after a note MR HUGH STRACHAN !!!!
    Or is it a case of I'd better keep quiet until the end of the season to
    see how Kilmarnock end up. At least we don't have to resort to
    vandalising the oppositions ground to get a game cancelled.
    
    Lets see how well you progress through the season after your manager
    has moved to Perth, Totten moves to East End and you end up with Jocky
    Scott.
    
    The Blue Brazil will be the White Elephant come 4.40 on Saturday.
     Forecast:- Dunfermline Athletic 5 - 0 Cowdenbeath.
    
    Eric the Par.

    Well Mr Eric the Par,your tune has changed (must be the lure of Mr
    Totten) it only seems like yesterday you were giving away your season 
    ticket and using your once sacred Pars top as a duster.If Alex Totten
    does join you,he will bring back the good times at East End Park i
    think he is one of the best managers in scottish football.Every club
    he has been with have had some kind of sucess,what St Johnstone were
    thinking about,i will never know.
                                   Roll on Boxing day when the gulf between
    the great and the once great will be even wider,lady luck will run out
    on you this time.Never mind you will always have the SUPER LEAGUE to
    look forward to!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    The Killie from Kincardine 
      
    

    What do you mean the Great and the once Great,, Kilmarnock were never
    once Great more of a GRATE......
    I never said I'd use my Pars top for a duster as I'm still using my
    Derby County tops.. mind you if they could win a couple of home games
    then we could be in with a shout of the Premier League.
    As you so correctly pointed out we are members of the future SUPER
    League which allows us to use these First Division games as practice
    games but we must not take anything away from TOTTY clubs that make up
    the numbers.
    
    I take the Pars to hold you to a draw  Kilmarnock 1-1 Dunfermline.
    
    Eric the Par.

    What an absolute spiffing result and with only TEN men .God only knows
    what the scole line would have read if Cooper hadn't been sent off by
    Killies 12th man yet not serious enough to warrant the linesman to lift
    his flag.
    	Still we mustn't complain, I bet Burns was after their trip to
    Greenock. 
        Now for tomorrows prediction I will be happy to settle for a draw
    though on paper we should beat Raith. At East End when we played them
    we should have won but the Pars didn't look as if they were bothered as
    they expected Raith to be frightened of us........WRONG..
    	When we played them at Starks Park we would have been better taking
    a trip to Pittencrief Park and sat down for an hour and a half. We just
    allowed them to dictate the game.
    	But tomorrow I think will be a shock to Raith as we are begining to
    believe in ourselves.
    
    
                                 RESULT
             DUNFERLINE ATHLETIC 2 - 1 RAITH ROVERS

    Sean....
    
    are you trying to say the pars have actually started to win some games
    ??/????
    
     SQF Jambo #1

    I've been so frustrated of late watching the Pars that I have found it
    difficult to write any worthwhile match reports.
    going back to the win against Meadowbank.. we started with a Parfect
    opening spell but after some 15 minutes we became complacent and
    allowed Thistle back into the game and it was felt that a repeat of the
    last meeting was going to repeat its self but it was a matter of match
    fitness that won in the end.
    
    10/3/93       Vs Ayr United.
    
    Well all that can say is that Hamilton had three saves one was a goal,
    scored from a very,very, debateable penalty (diving B*@x*/<ard),
    another was caused by a defensive f-@* up and resulted in some very
    brave goalkeeping and the third was a reflex save on target.That about
    sums up Ayr's input into the game apart from successfully filling their
    goal with players. I was supprised they never asked the referee to
    stand in the goal area as well,. since he was obviously a traveling
    fan.
    	Whilst on the subject of the referee  can anyone tell me how on
    earth the SFA can find it fitting to send a referee all the way from
    Aberdeen all the way down to officiate a game in the south of Fife. I'm
    sure there was an available official nearer the venue. All in all he
    ruined what had the makings a good hard game.....after all he was
    determined to have more bookings than Madona!!!!!
    	Not at the match today due to working would like to hear of any
    match reports. 
    
    	Five points clear, thirteen games fithout defeat .
    
    	I dont hear you mention The Killies much now days Shuggie Strachan!
    
    
    Eric the Par.
    

    
    The unbeaten run will come to a sudden end next week..away to Raith.
    It doesn't really matter anyway as there are only two teams going up 
    and they are both from Fife. Its good to see both teams doing well and
    even better to see the west coast teams taking a back seat.
    
    Andrew.

    I couldn't agree more Andrew.. The teams on the West coast think they
    rule Scottish soccer.. But we all know that it is the West of Scotland
    Football Association that ruin it, I mean run it, or do I ?????
    
    One thing I'm afraid I cant agree with you ..and that is the outcome of
    this Saturdays game ...
     I predict that you will not get more than one point out of it.
    
    And I will also predict that the Killies will not get two points from
    Ayr either.
    
    Eric the Par.

    
    The unbeaten run of the Pars has come to a very predictable END.
    With Killie drawing with Ayr and the Pars playing Killie next week
    can Killie creep nearer with a win next saturday??????
    
    

     DAMN BUGGER BLAST
    

    hicup....hicup....hicup....
    
    
    Never mind ...Dunfermline will settle it next week by gubbing Killie.

    up front,well they were not 2 bad.As the story goes its a funny old

    Charlie(KFC)

    Well, Well  so much for note .61 & .65   8-)))))))))

    Dungfermline didn't   (wont) go up because they are a team of thugs
    (like Airdrie) who have no place in Scottish football and deserve to
    languish in the first...
    
    All this cr*p about them joining the super league must be a sorry joke
    in the Kingdom of fife ....eh lads
    
    The pubs and clubs in and around Kilmarnock were having a"titter" about
    it on Saturday night...To think you actually took 7 points of us and
    still couldnae go up is something of a record....
    
    So lads I'm afraid the ol saying "west is best" is actually true 8-))
    
    As for Dungfermline .....well your's are the sole representatives in
    the 1st for fife so try and play a wee bit o fitba next season eh !!!
    
    BTW
    
      Good luck to Raith next season....but I hope they finish below us
    8*))

    West is not best ...in the first division anyway.
    
    It was quite a convincing championship win for raith !

    Dunfermline 2  Falikirk 3
    
    
    Good start for The bairns, John Hues got the winner.

 Hopefully the Pars will be one of the teams relegated this year.

    
    
    League Cup 2nd round.
    
    Dumfermline....2  East Stirling.....0
    
    Don't know who scored but they had to play extra time in order to
    win the tie.
    
    Of course winning in extra time is better than listening to jimmy
    nichol after Raiths wee jaunt in the cup.
    
    
    

    
       A die hard pars supporter told me after the West Ham game,
       that Dunfermline were a very strong team this year.
    
       Well never a truer word spoken, because they are going to have
       to be,If they are to hold up the rest of the first division all
       season.

    today,going down 2-0 to Stirling Albion.
        But I am sure we will bounce back.
    p.s managed to go another week without a player being sent off.

    Been on hols for a couple of weeks but on my return the pars managed
    to slot 4 goal passed Dumbarton TO WIN 4-1.They were 1 goal down after
    5 mins and the result stayed that way untill 2 mins into the second
    half.Within a spell of 10 mins they scored 3 and added another late
    on in the game.4th in the table and still climbing.

    Another well earned 2 points on Saturday winning at home.
       Dunfermline 1   Falkirk 0.
    
    With the top 3 teams all dropping 1 point,the Pars move yet closer to
    that all elusive number 1 position at the top of the first.
    4th place now just 5 points behind Cyldebank.
     St Mirren at Love Street next week,Could do with both points.
    
        On the up,and still climbing.
    

    Another well earned 2 points for the pars this week,beating St Mirren
    by 2 goals to 1 at Love street on Saturday.
    The pars opening the scoring after 5 min with a goal from the Dutchman
    Von De Beimen.Paul Smith put them 2 up after 25 mins.
    Result stayed this way until late into the second half when ????
    pulled 1 back for the saints.
    11 points out of a possible 12 now for the pars.
    
    The only way is up,
          Sean.
    

    
    
          After the drubbing that the Pars recieved at Falkirk on Wed'
    night(4-1),it was thought that the confidance would be knocked back
    a little for the game on Saturday agaist Brechin,but alas the boys 
    didn't let it get them down.
    The heads were still high on Saturday when they took revenge and put 4
    goals by Them.
    Laing got the first after 6 min'with Sinclair putting them 2 up after 10
    mins.Results stayed a 2-0 untill Smith drove in the 3rd.Ten minutes
    later in the 80 min when the  faithful and loyal Pars skipper Norrie
    McCathie made it 4.Game finished 4-0 keeping the Pars in touch with the
    rest of the leaders.

       Sean,
          I was there, but spent most of the game counting the Brechin
          Support, which at one point swelled to an unbelievable 47,though
          I wasn't sure about the chappie with the black shirt and brightly
          coloured flag, as he kept moving from end to end.

So, yet another high scoring victory for The Pars on Saturday, 4-2 at home
against St. Mirren. Unfortunately I was too drunk too quickly to make this 
game but I have been to a lot of games recently and it seems like we just
can't miss at the moment. After such a dreadful start (bottom of the league
after seven games - i think) and now we are sitting pretty at the top. A nice
victory over those Falkirk boys next week will simply be the icing on the
cake.

Anyone got any gossip about the financial troubles that seem to be hitting
the headlines at the moment. You know the sort of stuff, gathered from the
mouth of one of the players as the were lying guttered under one of the 
tables in Lorenzos......

    Dunfermline went 2 points clear at the top after a low scoring win over
    Brechin on Tuesday night.1-0.
    O'Boyle played the full 90 mins without any problems so it's possible
    he could be fit for the match against Falkirk.

    Rumours of me taking a holiday to watch the magnificient Pars are
    untrue....
    
    I was unable to get a ticket for there latest syncronised swimming
    display...
    
                          Yawn..........what a team...

    yawn you may but not whilst watching the pars , not unless you want to
    miss several goals seeing as how they have scored more than any other 
    UK side so far this season .But I may be out of date with this
    statistic as they havent played since before christmas due to the
    weather .
    Todays (sat 15th) result  Match abandoned  ,Pars were winning 2-0
    at the time I believe , rough justice once again.
    
    							Beedub

    Mr Newman you will have to stand corrected on the point you made about
    the Pars not having played since before christmas.They infact had a
    game against Brechin about 2 weeks ago which they won 1-0.Not the
    scoreline that us Pars fans have become acustomed too, but 2 point all
    the same.

    The pars got of to a good start last weekend with a 0-0 draw at
    Ardrie.The Pars have been hit hard with 7 of their top players out
    for the 1st 5 games due to various injuries.Though French could be back
    in the next 2 weeks.
    
      Ardrie 0 - 0 Dunfermline 
    
     

    
        Another great result for the Pars beating Meadowbank by 4 goal to 1 
      in the Coke-a-cola cup.
    Norrie boy played his 500th match for Dunfermline today and made it a
    day to remmeber by opening the scoring in the 27th min.
    
       Dunfermline 4  -  1 Meadowbank.
    
     
       
    

    
    
    And you're drawn away to Hibs in the next round so i don't think you
    need to guess what the score will be.

        The Pars drop 2 point today when the drew 1-1 with St Mirren at
    Love St.French scored the equaliser in the second half.Not a bad
    results I think.

    	Dunfermline were on the wrong end of another ludicrous tribunal
    decision last week when they were awarded a paultry 200,000 for their
    international striker George O'Boyle.
    	Unfortunately Dunfermline,currently in a dire state
    financially,were unable to offer O'Boyle an attractive deal when his
    contract came up for renewal at the end of last season.That was the cue
    for the asset-strippers to move in,in the shape of St.Johnstone.
    They offered an incredible 100,000 pounds for the player,Dunfermline
    asked for 700,000 pounds and the matter was forwarded to the tribunal.
    	Decisions like these mean that every club,when signing an out of
    contract player,shall automatically go to a tribunal to get him for
    practically nothing.The clubs who can't afford to keep the player
    in the first place,are the last people who can afford to be the victims
    of such dealings.

    
     Bill firstly its good to see someone else using this note I was
    getting a bit board talking to myself week in week out.
    
    Secondly-
       I have to agree with you on the O'Boyle deal,all these players have 
    financial managers and it should be up to him and the player to
    disscuss money,O'Boyle is worth more than 200,000,and fine St.Johnstone
    know this, that is why they asked for it to go to a
    tribunal.Dunfermline I think are trying to appeal agaist the decision
    but I don't think this will do much good.I wonder what price the
    tribunal would of came up with if he was playing with Ranger or Celtic 
    at the time!!!.
    Never mind sitting top of the league and thats with O'Boyle.
    
     Sean.
    

    
    Sean,
    	 Where did you get your bit board from---B&Q?
    	 Or do you mean bored?
    
    			Tee Hee!
    

    I wonder when that old Pars bottle will turn up???Mid table by xmas!!!
    
    						RRFC
    
    

    Mr pryce,OBVIOUSLY you don't know a great deal about football,1 you're a
    Raith fan after all,2 what was the score at East End park,3 who is at
    the top of the league and 4 where did the wood tinks fae Kikcaldy (or
    is,what that f****** smell) finish last year,(holding up the rest of the
    premier league).I REST MY CASE.
    
     DAFC. 

    
        Pars go through to the next round of the B&Q cup after a 2-0
    victory away to Brechin.

    Mr Robins one win in twelve meetings is NOT a good record,we had to let
    you win one.I still think you will be mid table by xmas.At least when
    WE went top we did not bottle it as the parpathetics(sp)have done on
    at least two occasions,Raith WILL come good,your only way is DOWN!!!
    When do we play you at Starks??? You'll get sent home with you're tail
    between you're legs as usual. 8*))))))))))
    
    				RRFC.
     

    
    Mr Robbins,I seem to remember you lot singing a pretty droll song...
    
    "Here we are at East End Park,
     Promotion is our aim
     and this is our season.."
    
    How many seasons ago was that....Bottle,bottle.
    
    another RRFC. 

    	Looks like the Kirkcaldy bad boys are ganging up on you here Sean.
    Might be a good time to remind our fellow Fifers of the season (81/82
    I think) when the Rovers needed around about 8 pts from 12 games to
    clinch promotion (or was it 1 pt from 15 games ?) and somehow contrived
    to screw it up.
    	Greg,what about that song ??? It sounds about as good as that
    listed in note 74.82.Let's face it,us Fifers can maybe bottle it with
    the best of them,but at least we can write songs !!!
      

    Bill I couldn't of put it better,it seems like the boys from
 whats that ******* smell (kikcaldy)have taken the bait I laid 
out.As regards the D.A.F.C song,at least we have something to sing about,
after all we are sitting top of the league.Think back to this time last season
the pars where sitting at the bottom and for a team that doesn't have much
bottle they done a pretty good job in crawling there way back up to the top of 
the league would you not say!
 Surely Mr Pryce can't be serious when he says that the Pars will
be sitting mid table at Xmas and by any freak chance they peharps do
drop some valuble points between now and then,they won't have too much to worry
about as regards RRFC because they will still be above them.

       DAFC.
Prediction The pars to take 7 points from the 3 remaining game against
 Raith.
 YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

    I don't know why I am even bothering to write in this note,so I'll
    just treat it with the contempt it deserves!!!!!!
    Mid table by xmas.
    You will maybe just take another 1pt from RRFC the rest of the season.
    

    
    It's easy seeing that your leaving Bill,otherwise you would not have
    the guts to write slander against the MIGHTY SEMI-FINALISTS.
    
    Ohh,I didn't tell you that we are in the Semi's didn't I!!!
    
    as for you writing good songs....hmmmmm.(Sharon from the Queen Vic
    would be disgraced) 

    	Congrats to the Rovers on your League Cup Semi-final spot.Good to
    see you Kirkcaldy boys all excited for once in what must be a bleak
    existence down there.Takes me back 4 years to when the Pars stormed
    into the Semi-finals of the same tourney,crushing Dundee Utd 3-1 in
    the quarters before sweeping past Airdrie in the Semi,and going ALL THE
    WAY to the final.Unfortunately that was one of the few years that the
    Pars didn't finish the job,having reached the final.
    	Bit worried with this stuff about disgracing Sharon in the Queen
    Vic.Think you're spending too much time in PERVS::FANTASIES conference
    Greg old son.This is the football conference you're in now,and I'll
    thank you to behave yourself while you're in it ! 

            
       I'am not backing down on this one but I agree with you Bill,I also
    want to say my congtrats to the Rovers in reaching the semi-finals of
    the League cup and I too remmember that glorious day when the Pars 
    walked out onto the Hampden turf to play Hibs in the final,but it
    wasn't to be,on the day the Pars were a bit below par,I suppose
    they carried the luck in the semi agaist Ardrie when they were 
    awarded the penalty.Never mind there is always the B&Q cup this year!.
    
      Good luck to the Rovers anyway but the Pars will still
    be at the TOP come Xmas.
     
       DAFC. 

    
    I was at that Semi Final against Airdrie and it was one of the worst
    games I've ever seen in my life. When they were awarded the last minute
    penalty for the blatant foul in the centre circle I was hoping that
    they would miss it so that I could go home. 
    
    Archie
    RRFC - 2 games away from Europe
    

    
            Your right Archie it was a pretty crap game but they won it and
    reached the final,Raith have still to do this yet.
    
    Anyway the Pars moved 2 points clear at the top with Ardrie lying in
    second place after the Pars won at home beating Stranrae(sp) by 1 goal
    to nil scored by Petrie after a long throw in by Beimen reached French
    just inside the the six yard box which he thumped straight at the
    keeper,the Stranrae Keeper failed to hold it and Petrie was there to
    slot a easy one passed him to take the lead in the 34th min.The Pars 
    had most of the play with the revitalised(sp)Westwater only having to
    make 1 real save at the end of the game.
    Away to Dundee next week that will be the crunch match but they have
    Hamilton to play mid week in the B&Q cup. 
     D.A.F.C.

    
    
       Pars have been drawn against their old rivals Cowdenbeath(better
    known as the Blue Brazil)at central park in the next round of the B&Q
    cup.
     D.A.F.C gettting there after beating Hamilton by 2 gaols to nil
    on Tuesday night at East End park..

    
    
    Come on the Blue Brazil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    Pars are mince!!!

       


       The Pars showed their true talent at the week end when they made a 
REMARKABLE come back against Dundee at Dens park.The Pars took a early lead
but alas Dundee equalised,then Dundee went 2-1 up but the Pars managed to 
pull one back to make it 2-2 at the interval.
Dundee went 4-2 up with 10 min left when the Pars where awarded a penalty,
4-3 with 6 min left and the pars skipper Norrie thumped the equaliser(sp)
home.This was the first 8 goal draw in Scottish football for 2 years,on the
whole the Pars had the upper hand for most of the game but due to 
some slack defending and I hasten to say not great forward play or skill
the match turned out to be a classic.Wouldn't it be great to see matches like
this week in week out.

   Dundee 4-4 Dunfermline.
         Still 2 points clear at the top.
     St Johnstone at home next week,now theres one we have to win.


  Pars went through to the next round of the B&Q cup after defeating the
Blue Brasil 3-1.Cowden' had a man sent off but that wouldn't have made any 
difference anyway.

        D.A.F.C.

    
    
         Pars won one of the most important games last week end when the
    slamed 3 goals passed St Johnstone to win 3-0.The Pars are looking
    really strong this year and if they keep playing with the comitment 
    and determination(sp)then I personally can't see any team in their
    league catching them.
    
     Away to Summerset Park this week-Prediction Ayr 1- 4 D.A.F.C.
    
        Sean.

    Lucky lucky Pars.
    
    1-4 ? ? 
    
    Good prediction.
    
    Kev...

    
         Can't get it right all the time.
    
     Anyway down to the serious stuff,
         the Pars lost 1-2 at home to Dundee on Tuesday night in the B&Q
    cup,the Pars lost 2 silly goals,1 a penalty after Norrie try to catch
    the ball and the other when super fast Robertson failed to put enough
    power behind the header which failed to reach westy and the Dundee
    striker nippped in and slammed the ball home.
    
    Better luck on Saturday when we meet Ardrie at home.
    
     2-0 tp the Pars.

    Their luck is starting to run out Big Yin!!
    How many get relegated from Div.1?????
    
    				Hee Hee !!!

    
         Wake up ald yin,the Pars will be there or there abouts come May.
    As I keep saying "the only way is up".

    Wee reaction there???
    

     
    
          I yi might be right there ald fat yin,but the Pars reacted in the
    right way by gubbing the boys fae WHAT THAT ******* SMELL(KIRKCALDY)
    BY 5 - 2 at Starks Park.
     Raith took the lead after 2 mins but the boys came back in 19 mins,
    Raith went 2-1 and the Came back again to make it 2-2 at half time.
     The Pars came out in the second half and showed their true class
    by hitting the target 3 times to win.
       The goals were scored by Petrie -2
                                French -1
                                Ward-   2
        3 points clear at the top now.
    
        Sean
        
                                     

UNLUCK ON SATURDAY. YOUS GOT STUFFED FAE  HAMILTON

		3-1

C.T.T.

    
    sounds like a good result to me.

    
        Can't win all the time,still top of the league and there to stay,
    at home to St Mirren.

    How come nobody mentioned that Stranraer got a 0-0 draw with the
    mighty Dunfermline last Saturday at Stair Park ?!?   In front of
    1500 fans (more than were at Airdrie or Hamilton).
    
    Ray

    
       The Pars struggled against Stranraer on the Goal counts,they however
    did have most of the play but its goals that count.Still sitting top of
    the league though but that could change after todays game when they
    take on Dundee at East End.I think they will come out on top and 
    will start to score some goals again, which they have been struggling to
    do in the last couple of games.
     Pars to win by 3-1,with French getting 2 and Petrie getting 1.

    OH OH Sean ,3 weeks to xmas and Dunfermline drop from top too 7th
    bottom,oh dear what a shame.Prediction number 1 looks likely.

  Well Alan,Firstly I must congratulate you on Raith winning the CC cup,though
 I am still spewing up at the thought.

 Secondly-
      Thats the first time I have heard anyone saying 7th bottom and not third 
top,I just wonder if it was Raith that was sitting in third place would you be 
saying 7th bottom then? somehow I don't think so.

 On a more serious note though-
   The Pars lost at home today against Dundee losing by  0-1.The goal was scored 
in the 88th minute when the Pars thought they had salvaged a point from the 
game.
The same old story as the last couple of games,the team played ok but once again 
the goal scoring abilty that proved to be their strenght at the start of the 
season has somewhat diminished.
Speaking to Hammish French after the game he says" that the teams lack of
 abilty to score 3 or 4 goals each game as in previous matches is the sole cause
for their recent bad run of results.The team are still confident that they will
win the league, but you can't win all your matches."

P.S By the way Alan where are the Rovers sitting in the league table.

    I'll bet you were pig sick at us winning the CCC,it may just be 
    mentioned at the new year derby at East End park.
    
    I see Bert (I would'nt bet on it)Paton is in a panic and is going
    to drop French and Petrie because they hav'nt scored in a couple of
    games........there's loyalty in youre strike force for you.

    Pars to win 3-1 tonight against theboys from WHAT THAT F*^!ING SMELL.

    
    Well Sean,another wrong prediction,actual score:-
    	
    	Dungfermline  0   Raith Rovers(CCC winners)1
    				Graham
    
    Is that the sound of breaking glass I hear from East End Park???
    
    

    
     Who asked you?
    

    Well lads you were let of the hook last night,I didn't go to the game,
    but the report from some of the boys said that the Pars could have won
    5-1.
    Still in the running and a long way to go,
    Still not mid table  Allan.
    
      Pars still to go up.
    
    
    
    What happened to the linesman,The game was held up for 10 min while
    they awaited  another lines man.
    
    Sean. 
    
    
    

    
    If you don't score you don't win.
    
    What about the two goalline clearences by McCathie.
    
    The linesman pulled a calf muscle and they had to get a replacement.
    
    Near the end of the game the ref had the same trouble and to get
    treatment.
    
    It was never a penalty,he dived, scored 5.6 for style.
    
    Whats this boring offside game that your lot have started??
    

    
    
       No need to look back yet Alan,but you are closing.
    
    
    Pars went through to the next round of the scottish cup after a 
    easy win over highland league team Cove Rangers.
      Pars won 4-0 and will play Ardrie or Stenhousemuir away in the next
    round.
    
    
     Dundee this week,we have to win this one to close the gap to 3 points,
    a draw will not do us any good as Raith play Ayr at home and they will 
    more than likley win that match and take them into second place.
    
      And that I couldn't hack,
    
       Pars to win by 2-1. (I HOPE)

    Pars play Airdrie or Stirling Albion....

    Oh No o o o !  Broadwood again.
    

    
    Well Sean,here i am in your notes again,and again it's to let you know 
    about another of the predictions that you forecast at the beginning of
    thye season.RAITH are above dungfermline in the league,in fact RAITH 
    are now joint top of the division I think thats all your predictions 
    shot down in a ball of flame.
    
    					cheers

      	Allan,
                   I think you will find that the Pars have a game in hand,
    which will be played tomorrow night,when they win that they will be
    back in their rightful place-AT THE TOP.
          There is a small point you have forgot to mention is that you
    still have Dundee to play,twice in a row,1 in the cup and 1 in the
    league,Me thinks you will get beat in both.
    
       Sean.
    

    
    Sean,
    	I think we'll get beat at Dens in the cup,then beat them in 
    the league next week at Kirkcaldy.
    Sean,the point I was making was that you said we would never be above
    you.......and we are(at this moment).
    I've no doubt that you will beat the Stranny,but the bottle will
    break under the pressure your team will be under.
    

    
    Alan,
    
    I hope Dundee hump you in the Cup, and then hump you in the league too !

       I think I got a wee reaction there,
         Face it Alan the Pars will be going up and Raith will have to
    fight in a play of to go up,
    
      I was at a sportsmans diner the other day and they had a Raith top 
    (one worn in the CC final) they were wanting people to bid for it so
    I started the bidding at the remarkable amount of 1p, needless to say
    when someone up'd the bid to 2p I declined the offer to bid again.
    
    After all I only wanted the top clean the car windows with!

        The Pars dropped 2 points today drawing  1-1 with St Mirren at
    home,Wasn't at the game as I was nightshift last night but on speaking
    to a couple of the lads that were there they said its the worse game
    they'd seen all season.St mirren took the lead half way through the 
    second half, with Todd scoring for the Pars in the last minute to finish
    1-1.2 points behind Dundee and 3 above Raith who still have a game in hand.
    Bad results I thought the boys would have taken 3 points from this one,
    but as they say "ITS A FUNNY OLD GAME"

    a draw whit a pity.
    
    still at least dummyfermline didnae win.
    
    how did there good friends raith rovers get on.

    
       Pars dropped 2 points today against the scottish cup winners(maybe)
     Ardrie when they drew 0-0 at home.(I think it wasn't a bad result)
     Raith scored another last minute winner to beat St Johnstone 2-1.
    
     Dundee slipped back another place in the league when they were
    beat 1-0 by the boys from Love Street.
    
    
    
    Well it looks like its down to next weeks game at Starks Park when
    they play Raith.If Raith win, then they will go up as out right
    winner.Leaving the Pars to win their last game against
    Clydebank(at east end)to be involved in the play off's.
    
    But if the Pars beat Raith, then the Pars go top on goal diff' and its 
    down to the last game of the season.
    
    Who wants to go up to the premier, when the first division produces
    a end to the season like this.If there was more money in the first I
    would be happy to see teams like Dunfermline,Raith,Dundee,Ardrie stay
    in it, as I think its a far more entertaining league and I would rather
    see the Pars winning week in week out than getting gubbed each week in
    the premier.After all you only go to see your team win.

    	Not me matey. I go to the game; in the hope of seeing some skillful
    football (not that often), to see incident packed football (goalmouth
    action and physical play-quite often), to hear and be involved in the 
    banter, to be outraged by refereeing decisions (pretty likely!), have a
    few jars before and after the game and maybe a victory for my team. In
    short I go to be entertained (I can also appreciate good football from
    opposing teams, maybe that makes me a bit unusual?).

    Curious question here Archie........but why isn't your team called
    Kirkcaldy Rovers or Thistle or whatever. Where does the name 'Raith'
    originate from ????
    
    colin

    
    Actually, Colin, I'm a Bathgate Bairn, so I don't know! Perhaps some of
    the longer term Fifers, some of whom are in tonight, may be able to
    answer that one. They've always been called Raith Rovers during the
    eight years that I've followed them 8-))
    
    Archie
    

    
    <<Actually, Colin, I'm a Bathgate Bairn>>
    
      So you're a Falkirk fan, Archie ?????
    
    

    so......a Bathgate Falkirk supporter, in the Dunfermline topic trying
    to answer a question about Kircaldy being called Raith whom a Celtic
    supporter thinks is better than being a Dundee Utd supporter........
    
    well Mr Shankly, it's not a simple game after all !!!!
    
    Cd  
     

    There were at one time two teams in Kirkcaldy,Raith Rovers and
    Kirkcaldy Wanderers.In fact it was Kirkcaldy Wanderers that played and
    owned Starks Park,I don't know where the Rovers park was at this time.The
    Raith side took their name from the district in Kirkcaldy where they
    played.That's about as much as I know for now...
    

    Big game for the Pars tomorrow...

    All you're predictions at the start of the season were shot down in

    It's gonna be a nervy,nail biting play off week......
    
    Do you have the bottle!!!! or is it already in a million pieces?????
    

    
    OK Sean,after me slagging you in prev.note...........

    in the premier......now there's a first!!!!!!

        Well first-I must offer my congratulations to the Rovers on their 
    last couple of weeks performances(they kept their nerve).

     I also must congratulate them on winning the 1st division title
    (god I hate having to do this)

     Yes Allan you are right my predictions were all wrong--






     BUT WE WILL BOUNCE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!









       I HOPE!!!!








    The play off against the Sheep will be on Sunday 21st ,and at East End
    the following Thursday.
     I think the Pars will struggle as the Don's have been playing
    pretty good football in the past 2 or 3 games.The Pars still have
    a few players out injured,but you never know,stranger things have
    happened.


    The 2 legs will not be shown on the T.V, it was reported in one
    of todays news paper that the Scottish Junior cup will be shown on
    Sunday and the 2nd leg at east end will not be brodcasted.



    If this was Celtic or Rangers in the play of I am sure all the T.V 
    channels (including SKY) would dive at the chance to screen this. 







     

    Sean,
    
    isn't Dunfermline v Aberdeen a Scottish Junior cup tie as well ????
    
    I think TV have just picked the better of the two games to show !!!

     Well Colin all I can say is "that at least the Pars still have
    somthing to play for".
    
       >>>>> Scottish Junior cup tie as well ????
    
     Don't be a silly BILLY Colin,they may be in the 1st division but
    I bet I have seen far more entertaining games of football this 
    season than you have.
    
     

    
    Sean
    
    	Do you mean the games are not on telly at all ? Surely somebody
    must be showing highlights at least ? Will they be on the radio even ?
    
    	I think it will be very close. Aberdeen are indeed playing with a
    bit of form (at last) but they will have all the (psychological)
    pressure on them. However it can hardly be much worse than the last
    three weeks I should imagine ...

    In response to a previous reply, I believe that the games ARE on the
    radio, certainly Radio Scotland have said that they would cover them.
    The first leg is not on the telly because STV are covering the Junior Cup
    Final, and the BBC are covering the Golf (Dalmahoy?). Don't know the
    excuses for the second leg on the Thursday night, but I think if the
    first game is close then somebody may have a change of heart (I hope)

    It was reported on the news that the Dunfermline captain and his wife
    were found dead at their home yesterday. Dunfermline's next match has
    been postponed in respect. No further details as yet....
    
    Ray....

    
    	I thought it said it was not his wife but some bint he was having
    it away with, one Amanda Burns, a hairdresser to trade. Police say
    there are no suspicious circumstances. It also said there had been some
    speculation on his tangled love life in the local press recently.
    
    	His name is/was Norrie McCathie btw.

     Footballer and women found dead

     POLICE are investigating a double death mystery after the bodies
     of a man -- believed to be Dunfermline Football Club captain
     Norrie McCathie -- and a woman were discovered at McCathie's
     cottage home near Dunfermline.

     A scenes-of-crime officer, a police surgeon, and a pathologist
     were dispatched to Urquhart Farm Cottages between Dunfermline and
     Crossford to investigate the deaths. Other police officers
     cordoned off the area.

     A police spokesman said that the dead couple would not be
     officially named until relatives had been informed. But there
     seemed to be little doubt that the man was Mr McCathie.

     All that the police spokesman would say was that, after initial
     examination, there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances,
     which raised questions about whether one or both of them committed
     suicide.

     Bert Paton, manager of Dunfermline, hurriedly left halfway through
     a reserve game at East End Park, Dunfermline, last night with the
     club chairman, Mr Roy Woodrow. Club secretary Paul Di Mello said
     that no statement would be issued by the club.

     The deaths come only weeks after the 34-year-old Dunfermline
     skipper announced that he was to be the father of a child being
     borne by Julie Gillies, 20, the daughter of wealthy club director
     Andrew Gillies.

     Apart from being a long-standing Dunfermline player -- he joined
     the club in 1981 -- McCathie was co-owner of a public house in the
     town.

     The police spokesman said that the bodies were discovered just
     before six o'clock last night. The dead man, he added, was in his
     thirties.

     Norrie McCathie was almost an institution at Dunfermline. Club
     skipper and so often the last line of defence, he knew also how to
     come forward at set pieces and score more than his fair share of
     goals. His last game for the club was on Saturday at Paisley
     against St Mirren.

     He said just a couple of weeks ago that the forwards were moaning
     about him giving away goals, so therefore ''he had to make up for
     it, and score them''.

     That was the nature of the man, born in Edinburgh in March 1961,
     and signed from Cowdenbeath in 1981. He was always as articulate
     as his play throughout his 15-year spell at East End Park. - Jan 9
