Away From The Numbers

All good things come to an end. Or so they say. AFTN has been around since 1989, first as a fanzine and then making the jump to a website and forum in 2003. We've been through the many ups and down at East Fife in those 12 years but policing the forum has become a giant pain in the ass in recent years. As such, we made the decision not to renew it when it expired.

The forum is no more and will remain as a locked archive until it is eventually deleted by the host. We're looking in to try to save some of the content as an archive.

This is not the end of AFTN though. The site will continue and will be revamped and return in its full glory for the start of the 2016/17 season. Maybe even sooner. There will be a comment sections and possibly even a new, registered forum. Check our Twitter (@aftnwebsite) for all the latest info and we'll also post in on the EFFC memories Facebook page.

Until then, have a last browse here, thanks for all your support over the years, and 'Mon the Fife.

Re: Latest Score

Ya dancer. Somebody up there likes us. Last minute penalty and Airdrie score an o.g. to lose to our twin sister club in the west. Dont stop believing.

Re: Latest Score

And Ryan Donnelly gets sent off in the last minute and will be suspended next week.

Re: Latest Score

Whoop Whoop.

He scores a goal and the Fife go wild

Already passed Billy McPhees goals total which has stood for 41 years, a few more and promotion to League 1, then legendary status awaits.

Come on guys, Airdrie next week we can do it!

Re: Latest Score

Ryan wallace is god, feel well more optimistic about reaching playoffs for the chance to compete in the most exciting league in decades for us.

Re: Latest Score

Started well and Hissy should have had us a goal up in the first minute but we then looked nervy with a lot of misplaced passes and long balls from the back. Stirling caused us problems especially in wide areas - particularly impressed with Alan Cook (No. 11) who gave Scott Durie a torrid time.
Looked for a long time that we'd have to settle for a point, especially when Stirling had us under pressure in the last 10 minutes. The penalty was given by the Assistant and I have to say I thought it was very soft and debatable that it was even a foul. Made up for the penalty we should have had in the first half when Div was pushed two handed in the back as a corner came into the box. Ryan Wallace made the penalty look easy in what was a pressure situation. The game reminded me of the game against East Stirling a few seasons ago when Greig McDonald got pushed in the box in the last minute. Double Cameron stepped up to despatch the ball past a certain Michael Brown !!!!
I was as disappointed as anyone at the performance, basic errors and lack of fight at times but now reflecting on it we have played better and lost. The 3 points are the important thing at this stage of the season and we got them in the end.
Good to see Greig McDonald acknowledge both sets of supporters as he left the pitch.
2 huge games left. Airdrie away next week, then the Smokies at Bayview. Airdrie go to Cowdens flag day party on the last day. Stenny are away to Smokieland next week then home to Forfar who might need the win to stay up. Exciting times. It's all gonna come down to who has got the bottle - we've got to make sure it's us.
We missed the influence and drive of Darren Smith today - hopefully he'll be available next Sat. Ryan Donnelly being sent off today should mean he misses the game next week which helps our cause.
Let's get as many to the game next as possible and roar the team to the Play Offs. C'mon the Fife !,

Re: Latest Score

Agree with everything that Bayview Boy has posted.
I think part of our problem is we play very narrow - so when the defenders ( or even central midfielders) look for an 'out' ball usually the only option is a punt up the park ( neither Hissy or Scott have been consistant in holding the ball up) Sloany is a must pick in my opinion as he gives us guile and craft but he's not a wide midfielder . Two wider midfielders would give us more options as well as providing the strikers with better quality passes , rather than relying in the long ball over the too or trying for the flick on all the time,

Re: Latest Score

Looking at the remaining fixtures I am slightly concerned re Stenhousemuir's fixtures, away to Arbroath next week who are already assured second place, and may be on a bit of a downer having conceded the Championship, and then home to Forfar. I know Arbroath will hopefully be trying to ensure they maintain their form for the promotion play-offs and Forfar may still escape the play-off's for relegation, however I would still fancy their fixtures over ours as it is a certainty that either Airdrie or ourselves will drop vital points next week, and we have the worst goal difference. Still all to play for though, he who dares and all that. Mon the Fife!!

Absolutely great guy, and I can't but help feeling sorry for him tonight. Came over for a blether with me before the game. When asked if he was still registered as a player, he replied "aye, but the manager's no picked me yet".

Re: Latest Score

At this stage the result is more important than the performance [Luckily].Felt we won mainly due to Campbell,White and Cook.The cental midfield partnership didn't come off and we badly missed Darren Smith.
Thought it was aclear penalty in that Bobby Linn got to the ball first and was then tackled by the defender.
Not everyone round me agreed.

Re: Latest Score

I think the lines boy gave us the pen to make up for the offside call he made when Wallace was clean through.

I think it would have been a very different game had the chance in the 1st min gone in. We allowed Stirling to grow into the game and as bayview boy said, we looked nervy.

Got to approach the airdrie game with all guns blazing. Need not just a win, but a big win to turn the goal difference around. Stoney worth a starting place.

Re: Latest Score

Couldnt agree more stonnie well worth a start sloan wasted out wide left.Id start with brown,cook,durie,whyte,campbell,stonnie,sloan,smith, linn,wallace and either hissie or dalziel

Re: Latest Score

come on you buggers let's make it a four fife team 1st div next season.

Re: Latest Score

Really poor yesterday, but as others have said already a big 3 points none the less. Coupled with other results yesterday and Donnelly's red card for Airdrie and I really think we can make the play-offs.

Struggling to understand the team selection though, clearly we have been much improved since Dalziel came back into the side, despite last weeks performance. I think the improvement when him and Johnstone came on was pretty obvious. Really hope the gaffer doesn't make the mistake again and they start next week.

Buzzing for next weeks game already!!!

Re: Latest Score

We badly missed Darren smith today.

Re: Latest Score

think penalty was on the soft side but how the ref missed the clear push on Div in the 1st half was beyond me....badly missed darren smith's drive.Thought Cook n Campbell were stand outs.

ps..constant frustration? watching stoney trying to take a corner

Not just him nearly all attempts at corners yesterday were hopeless. Is there anyone in the squad that can take one that will get into the danger area?

By Fu@k what I would do to have him back along the road, someone actually capable of beating a man.
