Dunfermline Athletic Missing in action

It would have been more fun on Friday evening staying home to wash the dog. This dreadful advert for a televised Championship clash had promised so much. Yet you just knew by 7:30pm the nation had switched to Emmerdale.

The Pars support duly arrived, taking the average gate over two evenings to 5,384. The team didn’t turn up. We had one on-target shot and 40 per cent possession. Anyone who doubts there will be a huge clearout on 31 May should listen to Stevie Crawford. He did not mince his words. The performance was unacceptable and he apologised to the fans.

Next up Firhill for thrills and a meeting with former Pars talisman Joe Cardle. He scored ten goals last season. No one today comes close.
