Par_fect Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 17 minutes ago, Digs said: 100% this ^ - Came on to post pretty much that. I keep seeing words like 'luck' and 'awful' getting bandied about regarding half of our performances, we are top of the league! By definition, we can't be any higher and the only thing that could have been improved on is if we had won every game, which is unrealistic for any team. If we had been offered top of the league at the start of the season with our first defeat not coming until the second last Saturday in October, we'd all have bitten their hand off. Show me someone who says otherwise and I'll show you a liar. We should all remember how far we have come in the last few months, given it took another two weeks into the season for us to win our first game last season. This year is about one thing and one thing only - Promotion. If we go the whole season scraping 1-0 wins with goals going in off defenders backsides to win the league, I will take that all day, every day and twice on Sunday. Get up, then next year, we can get on with building a Championship squad capable of competing, with players who will now see us as an attractive proposition again, and go from there. Silky football is great to watch, and we've actually played a fair amount of decent stuff, but we will be seeing much more of the scrappy stuff, so get used to it. We're not Man City. We're a Scottish League One team in a scrap to get out of a league we don't want to find ourselves in, professionally, or financially. Promotion is the only thing that matters to the club.

Keyser Soze Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 It’s staggering the mediocrity Pars fans are willing to accept because we’ve been ****e for years. The quality in this division, us included, is utterly, utterly atrocious. Edin City a side who sneaked up through the play offs last season are looking like challengers, for goodness sake. Performances have been borderline disgraceful at times and I include some of the wins in that category. If we continue like this I absolutely guarantee we won’t win the league as our luck will definitely run out long before then and that’s before we suffer from injuries and suspensions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont agree- We have been the better team in every game this season bar the falkirk one which was 50/50 and id say Montrose was 50/50 We played into Montrose's hands on Saturday by going long ourselves too much, we should have kept it on the deck, but even saying that we created more chances than they did, Todorov missing a sitter, we and Falkirk will break away from the pack at some point and then it will be a straight shootout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to agree about the mediocrity, football has been shocking at east end since the play off game at tannadice in the 17/18 season. We’ve been on the slide for years and I still feel sorry for Mcpake as he’s had to work with players that were under contract that otherwise would’ve been shown the door without hesitation. However I do agree with digs in saying that it’s literally just about getting up then we can have a proper clear out hopefully in the championship. Performances for me do need to improve as our luck of playing poor and winning will run out 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said he is pretty much our only creative player and entertaining to watch. Needs to work on his finishing though. Mcpake in the paper saying Mochrie is getting targeted and needs more protection from Refs, would love to know how many fouls/bookings he has drawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livipar2 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 It’s a fair point he is clearly targeted. Last week in particular. Ref was woefully inconsistent with bookings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 I felt last week the ref thought he’d gone a bit hard with a few early booking and decided to ease off, he didn’t however consider that he given those booking to just one team. That approach frustrates me, I think as ref the tone you set early on should be what you referee the entire game by. On mochrie, attacking fouls is a compliment and it’s up to us to take advantage of the set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 I think he booked Hamilton after three minutes , I wasnt surprised because it merited a booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
