He caused more havoc in our box than he ever did in the opposition's and the experiment was abandoned after 2 or 3 games. 😃 I played alongside Winker at centre back for half a season in his late 40's/early 50's and he strolled it. He also played there in the East of Scotland league for a couple of teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect, he'd have been playing at a lower level when he played with you and his experience would have made up for his age, assuming he kept himself reasonably fit. The experiment happened when the Pars were pushing for promotion to the top flight. Tbf, he'd never played at the back before and much of the "havoc" was caused by a lack of understanding with his fellow defenders, so you'd have two going for the same ball or leaving it to the other.

Keyser Soze Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Yup. We ditched fan ownership and sold the name of our stadium for what? Well and truly duped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like the football side of things has got any better, in fact it’s went completely downhill. Off the field stuff such as training ground etc won’t be taking off either if no promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosythpar Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Has the playing budget been reduced since the money from the centenary club goes to the academy? I haven't seen any improvements around the club since our Hamburg based owners got involved. I was willing to give them time but you would think some of their plans would have started by now. We have only signed one foreign player since they have been here and he came on the recommendation of Skerla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) The Pars will be judged at the end of the season. If we fail to win the league and fail to strengthen, then the board and the manager will rightly come in for criticism. If we carry on as we are, then it will have been viewed as a smart move. It's a toss of the coin, but one that may come up on our side? Edited February 2, 2023 by Raymie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very fact we’ve let it become a coin toss is a disgrace . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 February is going to be a pivotal month, both on and off the pitch. I think in 4 weeks, we will have a good idea how the season is going to end up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Army Par Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Just got to hope there are no injuries or suspensions to our two remaining centre halves. Not good enough that we have left ourselves so exposed in a key area. I get that they don't want to take risks with sigings (if that's possible) but it's an even bigger risk to have no players covering than lower quality players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
