Jaggernaut Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Dunfermline seem to be getting a bit of mileage bleating on about the additional 5 hours added on during which we equalised last week depriving them of 2 points - by the same token if the fog hadn't descended on Central Park, Cowdenbeath would have had (almost certainly) an additional 3 points so it seems all a bit irrelevant. If Dunfermline hadn't been financially mis-managed the 2 instances would have been irrelevant in any case - so perhaps they should just get on with it and beat Forfar (suspect they will despite being 3-1 down) then beat Alloa (who seem to be a shoe-in for the deciders) and stop looking for excuses.

Great thing is, we benefitted from both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Just in (not from the match). That team destroyed us in the second half at Firhill. Maybe we should bring back Campbell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Jag Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 This: http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/22444304 is SOOOO Bunnet. Useless bugger just scrapes his crappy team into 4th/10, and now might actually get them promoted. Remind you of anything? Whether WE like him or not this crappy team he manages were BOTTOM of the 3rd Division when he took over and are now on the verge of the 1st division.

Useless bugger just scrapes his crappy team into 4th/10, and now might actually get them promoted. Remind you of anything? DC was quoted in the Metro the other day saying that "Dunfermline fans love him and I love them". That sort of patter familiar? Remind me once again of the Bunnet's connection with Mourinho and Largs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Anyone ever considered that Dunfermline might be better off financially in the 2nd division next season? 2 home games against Sevco where they could give them 2 big stands behind the goals. They could comfortably finish 2nd and waltz back up via the playoffs - giving them 2 bonus home games at the same time. Then the following year they have another 2 home games against Sevco, with talk of playoffs being introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, in an ideal world (for them) they could get two years worth of 'Sevco in the SFL' money. It all depends on how easily they can rebuild their squad, and Sevco might pinch the type of players they will be looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought they would be quite happy with extra income from play off matches this season. BUT when i saw the reaction of their players when Lawless equalised i thought my ideas were just mad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I noticed that Forfar's captain is ex-Jags (and ex-Pars) Mark McCulloch, just short of his 37th birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaphod Beeblebrox Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Surely with the new financial model it would be better to stay in the first. Mid table finish could be worth 100,000. 2 games against sevco isn't going to off-set lower attendances at the rest of the games and missing out on derby games against raith, Cowdenbeath.

Think the admin man will be very aware of the benefits that 2 games against Sevco would bring. Add in the playoffs 2 years in a row and it doesn't look to bad for them.

Jagtastic Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Were Dunfermline not quite near the top of the Sevconian revenge list after not letting them away with monies due just prior to their admin last year? Wouldn't be surprised if they tried to roll out one of their infamous boycotts to "punish" the pars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain if Sevco & the Pars were in a battle to win the 2nd Division they could end up with a number of live tv games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kni Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Forfar have had a lot of red cards this season. Pars have levelled the aggregate scores with a penalty - extra time? 3rd Forfar player sent off - Iain Campbell, the Bunnet's son.
