Browns lost the plot, grabbing the microphone to argue wi a fan at halftime

WHAT'S THE SCORE?

0-1 Stenny.

Brown lost the plot months ago. He should do the decent thing and resign.

1-0 down and Billy Brown seemingly grabbed the mic from cazza and giving the paying fans abuse.
Can see him sacked or walking after today.

2-0 now Fuking useless bunch of clowns.

Well 2 down now. GTF Brown!

Couldn't make that stuff up.

We are a shambles.

Heard it was along the lines of "support the team or get the fuck out the stadium" what a silly silly man if this is true.

Just walked out after the second goal.We are a fucking shambles.Think this is Browns last game,he will walk after bemoaning the fans.Fuck sake he wants us to cheer and not boo after we have just witnessed the same goal we have been conceding all season from a corners.

Was it something along the lines of - "None of this is my fault, the players I inherited are a disgrace, they are ruining my reputation". That's what he has been saying to other managers.
He will not be in charge at East Fife next season. This is why I cannot understand why the board of directors have allowed him to remain in charge when we still had a chance of staying in the Second Division.

2-1 now mcbride

YESSSS COME ON EAST FIFE

"...the players I inherited are a disgrace,..."

That part is true and we shouldn't overlook that.

Billy Brown couldn't manage a 3 course meal in Wetherspoons never mind a football club.
Get him tae fuck.

After BB had his say, he got a standing ovation. So East Fife fans above, what do you say to that?

In front of the fans, directors and within earshot of the players? Jeez.

McCormack sent off

"He had a chance to change that in January though and brought in nobody so he must have thought the players he had were ok then.
One of the worst managers we have had in years."

That's true. But the players are still a disgrace!

Another loss. That makes it 0 from 13. Abysmal.

2-1 FT.

This Brown incident just tops off what has been the most shambolic season I can remember.

Please Brown just go, take the players with you and the Board just fuck off. Please. You have all disgraced the club.

Brown got NO standing ovation for his halftime rant...most fans booed. At fulltime he was at it again and had to be ushered by a steward up the tunnel.
my own view is after watching at shocking 1st half and other displays this season then Billy Brown should be on the microphone apologizing to the fans

Brown should be told to resign or be sacked this evening. This will give 3 games for a temporary manager to get the team into the right mentality for the play-offs. That is the only slim hope we have of avoiding the drop. If Brown stays we are doomed.

Who would do such a job though? I would put the call out for Dave Clarke and beg him to come and help.

Twitter is on fire with Browns spitting the dummy tantrum.

East Fife really have become one big joke under him and this board of no hopers.

Get Darren smith in charge as player manager till the end of the season.

Reaction has to be Jocky.
Only person stupid enough to even try and defend that shite

it was a bit surreal. I've never felt Bayview so hostile.

Billy was booed big time during his "rant" there was no clapping. The same happened at FT. He's a tit of a man and should be sacked.

Allan Maitland for us PLEASE. second division manager that has a contact in the game...Did a job for Alloa...get him in NOW Sid!! Brown has won f**k all since albion Rovers at home...we are doomed

Liam Gormley should of started not wardlaw upfront himself we was better second half when we scored that free kick, tactially his judgement is pish and he got the axe at hibs get broon out! Maitland in please!!!!!!!!

the girl violets on the park do a better job than this lot under brown, entertainment was worth the money that was about it.

Can I just say after Billy Browns ridiculous antics that I wasn't booing the team off, I reckon they r still putting effort in.

I was basically booing the man in charge, his tactics are absolutely shocking

- 1 up front in a must win game
- Zero urgency, doesnt know how to organise his team in terms of trying to press and get the ball back (same for weeks btw)
- Why Scott McBride didn't start is beyond me, he's pacey, good with the ball, decent delivery etc
- Leaves it until 10 mins to go before putting more than 1 up front.
- There are no patterns of play during a 90 minutes that the team use to try and beat a team (unless is punting the ball up the park)
- Set pieces are ridiculous

Thing is we as fans have either paid for season tickets or pay £13 to get in, and what he is producing is poor poor stuff, yes the players should take alot of the responsibility but surely it is down to the manager as 90% of the time is because we are tactically poor.

The man should resign.

Reaction, you should think about staying away from the forum tonight. Your opinions are causing further offence and aggravation to supporters who are hurting. Emotions are raw. At some point, you have to recognise when your attempts to defend the club are counter productive, even if you are entitled to believe you are right and everyone else on the forum is wrong. It's not worth it sir.

And Reaction still wont answer my question


Silly boy.

Darren Smith hobbled over to a group of fans at full time and effectively apologised for the manager's rant saying that we paid our money week in week out and that we were entitled to vent our opinions. He also stated that they started the season with a group of only 16 players and what with all the shuffling of players the playing staff is small. He did say they were trying and yes too many goals were being lost at corners. He DID receive a round of applause. Put him in charge till the end of the season.

Allan Maitland or Darren Smith as caretaker boss. Broon out! shocking to witness a shamble at half time and no wins for three months. Time for a change ahead of play offs.

Surely the manager will be sacked after that, he has lost it. Why was Keenan playing? Same for wardlaw? Gormley should have started but his 2 misses were shocking. We had a chance the day but were poor again. Why was white not playing and div in middle? Where was McManus injured? The board have to walk now and take the dross with them. Get Darren smith in charge he knows what we are feeling.

Honestly Hendo. Take you and your sad alias and get to fuck. Pathetic.

reaction you are a dick and are clearly something to do with the board probs jocky . u happy wi that ? is that oor fault? I was there and we were pish less o a supporter that may make me in your eyes eh ? well am a season ticket holder. broon is a joke he had time to change things and didnae then he blames everyone but himself u and brown are everything that is wrong with the fife to much self interest and fuck all love for the club. and I wont hide behind user names my names keith cation lifelong east fife supporter unlike half the board and committee. if the team had half the passion the fans had we wouldnae be in this position

Correct us eastfife fans have put up with too much shit for too long. The passion is not there from haf the team and its the one 's who have come in on loan because they don't care they will get clubs next year. Brown get to fuck

Darren said we only had 9 signed players at the start of the season ,and tried to fill the void with loan players.He said you guys pay your money each week and are entitled to your opinion.He said we have had to endure some lows like elgin.

Who was Billy pointing at anyway?

Podge?

I am a fan of billy brown and would like him to lead us next season with a team of his building.

For weeks this forum has had comments bemoaning the lack of passion from the players. Today I saw a manager who is not only passionate but a determined winner.

The guy is asking for the support of the fans in this most difficult tim. It's a shame that some fans could not give that support and instead vent their (justified) frustrations.

Witnessed the ranting billy brown and could not quite believe it.He should do the right thing and leave.I was impressed with Darren Smith and the way he behaved.

I can't comment, being someone who saw this coming (maybe not quite relegation) and gave up the ghost, so given that Billy Brown's record is truly appalling, what does he do well as a manager that would warrant keeping him?

There must be something, as up until the last few weeks there were no calls from anyone for him to get the boot.

can we see it on the vid highlights PLEASE.

Because I was a season ticket holder up until last May (and home and most away for 25 years before that)

I saw preseason that we had a weaker team than last season (and last season was woeful) and we would likely finish 6-8 or thereabouts, playing many games with 1-2 shots on target in the whole 90min (again), and that we'd sink slowly under this Board. It'll continue next too, even if we somehow escape relegation.

What about Brown then?

What about Brown then?[/quote]

Ye selling or buying.?

The board will act. It would be absolutely stupid not to, as fans will turn on them, and there will be more horrible scenes like we saw today. For the life of me I cant see how Billy Brown will ever manage East Fife again.

Have I missed it or have the Board issued any statement? Perhaps they have resigned en masse. After all they are ultimately responsible for this mess and the breakdown in discipline and morale. Hope someone is letting the Twigg/Rankine shareholders know what happened and just how bad matters are.

If he isnt sacked by next saturday the chicken should make a guest appearance along with the wheelbarrow as a protest to the board from the disgruntled fans.

i'm glad Brown went nuts as it shows he's hurting but i'd think more of him if he comes out and personally apologized to the fan in question,doubt it though as he had 15 mins to calm down during halftime then came out looking at the complainers area in the stand, was blatantly gesturing to the fans after McBride scored then had a go again at fulltime.
I'm sure after all his years in the game Billy Brown will be embarressed tonight with his conduct.

1st half today was a disgrace, no shots on target and 1 shot from inside the box from Wardlaw went out from a throw-in.This long ball method of football is appalling,i remember John Robertsons team doing it constantly to try and use Robert Ogelbys pace but after sitting on tuesday night watching ball after ball getting pumped up to McManus then again today in the 1st half the same 'tactic' to Wardlaw it makes you wonder who's employing these tactics the manager or the players? 2nd half we played the ball more on the ground and created some good chances especially after Samuel came on. We've not played decent passing football since Stevie Crawford.

'Any sensible person would give serious thought to putting out any statements when feelings are running high. It usually only serves to make matters worse if it is a knee jerk reaction. Nothing is going to happen overnight anyway, is it?.'

Shame Billy Brown couldn't have taken your advice EF Supporter eh?

Shame you can't bring yourself to support your team when the going gets tough, eh Mad Man?
