Dunfermline Under the radar

It is a maxim in football that outrageous comments, which can end up as a motivational tool on the opposition’s dressing-room wall, are best avoided. In the autumn, Dunfermline went off like a rocket, taking 17 points in the first quarter, and scoring goals for fun. Inverness CT told the media their absence from the top flight was temporary. They went down 5-1 at East End.

Dunfermline are going about their business with a quiet professionalism, largely under the radar. In contrast, Inverness have told everyone they’ll win every match in the run-in. While such comments do not emanate from Allan Johnston; most Pars fans have quietly pencilled the promotion play-off date in our diaries. Four more points and we can rewrite it in ink!
