| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 09:48 Former Pars striker Mark Burchill has followed Sporting Director Richard Hughes from Liverpool to the Saudi Arabian League club, Al-Hilal, as Director of Recruitment. Al-Hilal, who recently signed striker Olly Watkins from Aston Villa, have just lost a 47-game unbeaten run! Reply |

| 3. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 10:59 He`s the sort of striker we could do with now but didn`t he fall out with Pars` fans at one point during his time at the club? Reply |

| 6. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 12:50 I think both the above posts are relevant. Overall he had a rather unhappy relationship with the fans as I recall. Reply |
| 7. Author: Rusty Shackleford Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 12:58 That cup final chance often gets mentioned as a sitter but it`s harsh. Reply |
| 8. Author: Dave_1885 Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 13:19 If memory serves me right, his cup final chance was similar to Morrisons chance in the semi v Falkirk last season 🤔 Reply |

| 10. Author: Bandy Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 13:52 Was definitely more than a `half chance` VEE. My original post was tongue in cheek - It wasn`t a sitter in the Peter Van Vossen, Harald Brattbakk class, but it was a chance that he definitely should have taken. Dave_1885 is right, it was very similar (arguably better) than Morrison`s v Falkirk. he should have scored. Reply |
| 11. Author: CrossPar Date: Tue 8th Sep 2026. 14:37 For me, it was because under Stephen Kenny, he didn`t try a leg. And he wasn`t alone. Yet the first game after Kenny was sacked, he was busting a gut. Very unprofessional. Reply |
