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: the biggest myth since santa

Wasn't at the game yesterday so can't comment other than to say the result adds to a series of disappointing results this season.

From reading match reports, it sounds like a familiar story. This pattern must change else we'll be relegated. I don't see signs of the manager changing this pattern so perhaps it is time to change the manager.

Unlike youth football, winning is the most important thing. Performances and pretty football is secondary.

The east fife revolution is made up of many components. But the biggest and most important component is the 1st team results, and with these being below expectation the revolution is in danger of stalling. It was a risky appointment to select a manger with no senior playing or managerial experience. Some risks pay off, some don't........ this one has not.

The longer we wait for a turnaround (that isn't going to come), the more damaging this season becomes. People really bought into the revolution..... and still support it...... but for how long? As the disappointment continues people will drift away. I'd ask the board to act now, salvage the season and reboot the revolution.

Re: the biggest myth since santa

Can you remind me of what Rab Douglas did after clashing with Stony?

Can you remind me when Bill Brown took over last season and how it transformed our season?

Changing manager mid season after a dozen games = Start again and call for the new managers head within 6 months = Keeping the East Fife managerial merry go round going = Still fighting to avoid relegation = Mair moaning from certain terracing fitba experts = The chairman saying F**k it, I'm p**ssed off with these moaning b'strds, I'm off!

PS - You are a nasty little elf, with a brain to match your size!

Re: the biggest myth since santa

14 games is not a long time to judge anyone but what worries me is the lack of progress we have made in that period.
Yes, the league is tight and a few wins on the bounce can get us further up the league. But will that happen if the manager continues to treat the opposition with way too much respect? Our goals scored and goal difference are amongst the worst in Britain and maybe it`s time to ditch the try not to concede tactics and maybe have a go?


I was at Forfar and we were ok. It looked to me as if Aitchsion was playing the same tactics as he deployed against Dunfermline and make no mistake, we won that out of good fortune than anything else. I couldn`t understand the formation against Forfar. We have better players than them and should have went for it.

Aitchison is still the manager and will get my support but there are serious doubts creeping in and the next 2 games, even at this stage of the season, are huge. Failure to attain at least 4 points and the pressure will be on the board to make some crucial decisions.

If the chairman of this club threw his toys out of the pram and fecked off on the back of a few moaners on the internet and at games then he shouldn't have taken the job on on the first place. I think Lee Murray has a thicker skin than that Rudy.

But then again I suspect, like your mate Jocky, you were a cheerleader for the hopeless previous regime so perhaps that is what you are wishing for. It's not what the vast majority of us want.

Behave yourself TN! The chairman I am sure wouldn't do that, but would you be surprised with all the shit that flies about Bayview, if he did? I certainly wouldn't blame him, but I even more certainly hope he doesn't. I have no idea who Jocky is, so no mate of mine, just like you also, are no mate of mine!
Are you an elf in disguise by any chance, or maybe have elven friends?
