East Fife away


That 1 jags fan

I was wondering which Archibald cheerleader would be the first to roll out the "we can concentrate on the league" excuse. Totally misses the point. We lost to a League 1 team today and again played poorly. With players assembled by the current manager. Take off the blinkers and look at what's bleedingly obvious.

So we lost in a diddy cup? Not good. But if it means we can focus on moulding a team for the league?

Get a reality check, we played a few young guys today. It’s not the end of the world (as we know it)

 

We have lots of guys lacking math practice (and still to come back from injury too). Surely we need to stay  in cups, especially diddy ones so we can  get those guys game time?

As for the youngsters comment - I strongly suspect the average age of the  outfield players that finished the game so poorly was higher than probably any other game this season?  Don’t let the facts get in the way of your consistent lack of objectivity though

If Morton had someone like Doolan, they would be challenging for the league title. Why? Because when we last played them they were organised, fit, fighting for every ball, fast, accurate. All they are missing is someone effective in the final third. We are currently the opposite of all of that, with the best striker in the league.  So why aren't we organised and motivated?

I would say currently the best striker is Shankland?

We’re a diddy team in this diddy cup.  We should be out to win every game, if not what’s the point

Sorry Sandy, the reality check for the last 18 months is Alan Archibald has done his time , over the last season and a bit he’s only taken us one way and that’s on a downward spiral . We’ve got relegated from the Premier League from a position of strength after we reached the top 6 and the downward trend is continuing with today’s defeat . We should have better players than East Fife currently bottom of the third tier in Scottish football even if we played our reserve team as we are a full time team and at the very least should be fitter.

The board are culpable as well for letting this scenario happen and taking the easy option and letting Archie continue when a fresh outlook was needed around the Club to instil enthusiasm and excitement back into the Club and the Fans .

Worrying times ahead

Just have to say though, I thought the abuse hurled at Archie at the final whistle was appaling, really horrible - I thought we jags fans were above all that.

Why bother coming if you're just going to use such language? really not on - especially when so many youngsters there.

Maybe said fans are really fed up of seeing the same shite regardless of who we come up against. What would you rather them say? Archie Archie get to France? :lol:

He deserves all of it.

What bit don't you get about the last 18 months being unacceptable?
