| 83. Author: Gareth Keenan Investigates Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:03 Airdrie were always going to come and sit in, look to counter and waste time so luckily we started that deep lying play maker Hamilton. When will Lennon realise these types of games are not when he is needed? Reply |
| 84. Author: Berry Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:10 To think people were shouting for Mehmet to get a contract extension on here was wild. Reply |
| 85. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:13 Today showed why Hamilton and Mehmet don’t deserve new contracts. Both are well below the levels required. Reply |
| 86. Author: Lucho_8 Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:19 Howler for the first goal. All players were in line, 40 yards from goal, never a red. Hammy should have been off at HT though as he was brutal in the first half. Thought we were pretty decent after the red to be fair but oh well. Reply |
| 87. Author: buffy Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:21 In the three recent wins Mehmet has played a blinder. There’s no need to tell fans off for believing in him. ”Buffy’s Buns are the finest in Fife”, J. Spence 2019” Reply |
| 88. Author: Berkey Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:28 Typical pars. Had a chance to build momentum against a team who lost at home to the bottom claim last week and they bottled it. We started the game with no intensity, felt like we expected to just turn up and get the points. Mehmet, Todd and Hamilton reverted back to default today, I’ll be surprised if any of them are here after the summer. You need better and Lennon will know that. Andy Tod is either great or worse than a man down, zero strength today to get and keep possession and always caught on his heels, needs a break out of the team. The other younger players actually done okay given the circumstances. Morrison worked his socks of but lacked any cutting edge, hopefully there’s more from him and rudden looked rusty. Bad day at the office, couldn’t even take a decent set piece and beat the first man. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 89. Author: Bannockburn Par Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:28 Mehmet, Hamilton and Matty Tod were awful today. Tod & Hamilton should have been off at halftime. We never got going at all. Both Tod’s and Mehmet should be dropped for the next match. Fuming watching that ***** today!! Reply |
| 90. Author: Ahoy!Ahoy! Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:35 Tod hasn’t been the same since his U21 call up. I don’t think he’s scored or created anything since. Kearney should start next week ahead of Todd. Hamilton should be nowhere near the squad. Reply |
| 91. Author: thomson Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:41 Very few players looked up for today. Only Abdulai and Callum Morrison looked like they wanted it. Thought Hamilton was miles off it. His red card was the cherry on top of an overall poor performance. Reply |
| 92. Author: king lad Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:44 Player performances were poor obviously but arguably Lennon is more at fault for that team selection and then not changing it until after we were a goal and man down. How do you watch the first half and not think to make any changes at half time, you have 5 subs so use them! Poor game all round and it`s games like today which exemplify why we are where we are in this league Reply |
| 93. Author: CrossPar Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:46 Ahoy!Ahoy!, Sat 31 Jan 17:35 Kearney was poor as well when he came on and was culpable at the second goal. Todd was murder though, couldn`t cross the street. As for Mehmet, that is always in his locker. Reply |
| 94. Author: PARadise Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:53 The fact Mehmet has made a career in full time football sums up the way the club has been run prior to park bench. Hammy had a shocker. If he can’t win a tackle or second ball what can he do? Overall thought we played okay but predictably lacked intensity against a lower placed team at home. Hopefully Lennon can spot the ones that need dumped in the summer after that. Referee and nw side linesman should be sent back to the Sundays. Reply |
| 95. Author: General Zod Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 17:55 Tod looks knackered every time I see him and Rudden is quite poor. Reply |

| 97. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 18:04 wulliepar57, Sat 31 Jan 17:02 That was our discussion today. To be top 4 will need a level of consistency. We aren`t scorong goals or even getting enough crosses into the box. Tippy tsppy football again today. Whats the point in being in the top 3rd of the pitch amd then knockibg it back to tge half way line. No punch today, out smarted by Airdrie. We didnt do anything like enough to win tge game let alone come away with a point. We could have played all day and not scored. Airdrie were far more positive going firward when they had the ball. It wasnt often but they scored twice when they did. G Wardrope Post Edited (Sat 31 Jan 18:06) Reply |
| 98. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 18:07 Don’t think anyone gets pass marks today. If I had to pick someone, maybe Fraser or Rudden, but even that’s scraping it. Everyone was miles off the levels they’ve shown the last few games. The goal we conceded was poor, but the reaction after it was just as bad. Heads dropped and nothing changed. I was genuinely stunned we came out for the second half with the same 11, first half was crying out for changes. Hamilton’s red was brainless and completely avoidable. Personally I’d have hooked him at HT anyway. That left us with an impossible task and killed the game stone dead. Corners and crosses were brutal, especially from Todd, no quality at all. And can someone explain who’s telling the players to take “quick” free kicks 10 yards backwards, mess about with it, then gift possession? Happened time and time again. Airdrie were delighted to let us do it and just break when we inevitably lost the ball. Biggest worry for me: we were second to every ball. Looked like Airdrie wanted it more, which I’ve not seen from a Lennon Pars side until today. Need a serious reaction next week. If we turn up thinking wins are a formality, we’ll get exactly what we deserve, same again. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 99. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 18:15 thomson, Sat 31 Jan 17:41 That’s exactly what I thought. Any positives we had going forward were because of Morrison. Defence was solid-NL threw everything at it and we got caught on the counter 🤷🏻♂️ 2-0 is basically the same as 1-0. Abdullai outstanding again but felt Mullen and Ngwenya were good. Gilmour and Fraser solid again. Fraser just needs to keep working on his delivery. Deniz Mehmet still isn’t good enough. He costs us too many goals. That was terrible today. Hopefully NL sees it and just drops him before he costs us more later. COYP Reply |
| 100. Author: Jeffery Date: Sat 31st Jan 2026. 18:17 Serious question although far from the biggest issue this week... Why is it every single week the first corner or two we try to play it short, realise that`s a shambles of an idea, then actually start swinging the ball in? Reply |
