| 101. Author: hudza Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:33 We are absolutely mince. Absolutely nothing going forward. Baffling substitute to make by taking off Otoo, could literally have taken anyone else off. Hosler was spent after about an hour, was one on one with the full back at least 3 times and decided to come back. Reply |
| 102. Author: hudza Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:36 Edwards final ball is grinding my gears as well, absolutely honking. Need to take the hands off anyone willing to pay 6 figures for him in the summer. Reply |
| 103. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:36 Dave_1885, Sat 9 Mar 17:29 I kinda think you`d have probably complained either way. You and wee Berkey seem to find misery/anger very easy to come by "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 104. Author: Toddyrov Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:37 Surely an injury, cause that sub effectively killed the game for us Otoo had our best chance the second half, was playing very well.. subbed then Easton who was quiet for the most of the game scores very shortly after. I even thought Holmes coming on instead of Moffat was a bit bizarre but on to the next I guess ? Effe Reply |
| 105. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:38 How Otoo didn’t make FT but KRH and Todd did is baffling! Why we didn’t go to a back 4 was strange too - 3 target men on pitch and kept trying to pass through them. And dont get me started on our final ball - shocking as per usual! Reply |
| 106. Author: halbe Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:43 Otoo must have been injured - probably our strongest player in midfield. Shocking substitution if wasn’t injury Reply |
| 107. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:44 da_no_1, Sat 9 Mar 17:36 You clearly don’t know me or observe my posts very often then, as I am full of praise when deserved as much as I am critical when deserved. Youd also noticed Ive actually called out Berkey numerous times this season for being negative….. But to played the Rovers 6 times in a season and not win a single one is not acceptable. And the strange behaviour to stand applauding for 2 minutes at FT needs looked at IMO - was it maybe McPake trying to show the players the disappointment amongst the fans? Or was it just some weird posturing? Reply |
| 108. Author: da_no_1 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:46 You`re overthinking things chap. Honestly. The players appreciate the fans paying hard earned money to come and watch them "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |

| 110. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:49 da_no_1, Sat 9 Mar 17:46 Great, can they appreciate it more by winning a game or two please? Not seen us win in person in 6 months - dont think Ive even seen us score in that time….. Reply |
| 111. Author: Never10yairds Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:50 The players applauding the fans at the end was one of the least objectionable parts of that shambles today. Plenty parts of the 95 minutes previous to that were somewhat worse. Reply |
| 112. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:54 I think I’m just a realist who calls it out as I see it. You seem to spend a lot of time on here defending players who are just not good enough and using whataboutery to deflect from bad performances from both individuals and as a team. It’s been a pretty poor season with a number of players previously singled out by many on here as being poor having since been dropped…..are we all wrong and should instead concentrate on the positives? Ie at least the players came to clap the stand at the end of today’s game? The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 113. Author: 87Par Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 17:57 Just home. Thought we played quite well overall. Great effort by Josh in the first half and Otoo should have buried his chance granted its a good save. Few moments in the box just didn`t fall right for us unfortunately. Ben Summers grew into the game and showed alot more dig too. Great tight area footwork at times. I echo a previous poster Josh needs to work on his final ball big time. It`s painful. Jak put a shift in. Thought Bene was solid and my MOTM he made a phenomenal challenge in the first half to deny them. I was worried cos he was wincing after that a little. But he brushed it off. Matty had a poor game today again just didn`t get going. Ref didn`t give us much at all. Was our penalty shout a pen in the first half? Not a great view from our stand. McPake wants us to play a certain way by hook or by crook hopefully it all works out boys had plenty effort we just need that wee bit in the final 3rd but we knew that. Disappointed not to get one over the wee team in the league this season. It restores the pride and gives the bragging rights for a bit. Didn`t think they were up to much today other than the goals. Anyway. Dundee Utd on Friday. We usually perform well when cameras are there. COYP Reply |
| 114. Author: theparsman1885 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 18:04 This whole club reeks of underperformance. From the board all through to the management coaches and players. And we lost £1M this last year with more losses to come it’s rumoured. Since this investment group came in we’ve gone backwards in all ways. Relegation, and another potentially on the cards Money losses the like we haven’t seen since admin with more to come 10th largest attendance in Scottish football but real risk of 3rd tier football. The new owners at Raith had a clear plan and it’s working. Our lot…..results both on and off the park say it all. Sheer lethargy, incompetence and failure. Slow 👏 Reply |

| 117. Author: par58 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 18:16 Quote from DAFC: Your backing this season has been fantastic and would encourage all supporters to continue doing so in the right way, through living true sportsmanship, championing fairness, respect and community in all that we do. Fine words but The Wee team have beaten us 5 times so far this season. Not near good enough, in fact absolutely abysmal. Management and owners take serious note!! Reply |
| 118. Author: pacifist Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 18:17 We tend to play well but things go south if we lose the first goal. Raith played the same dark arts as Airdrie. The goal came from a free kick that was a blatant dive. Raith were at it all over the pitch. Who really thought we were going to equalise after going behind? We had one excellent chance but their keeper pulled off an outstanding save. What has happened to Edwards over the last number of games? Nothing is working for him. Against Airdrie and Raith we have put loads of crosses into the box from long throws, corners, and free kicks and I think we won one. So, until we learn so score, again, we are facing a dire run in.

| 120. Author: craigypar35 Date: Sat 9th Mar 2024. 18:25 theparsman1885, Sat 9 Mar 18:04 Spot on! Really hope we survive this season but feel there’s an inevitability that we are going back to League 1. Rovers sat back, allowing us all that possession because they knew we would do little with it. It’s grim being a pars fan and the owners are way out there depth Reply |
