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.

oh well !!!

Safe to say i a absolutely gutted after today but for people to give naysmith and lee Murray abuse on a forum is pathetic..You can't blame the manager for how the players perform on the pitch..Proved we can win a few games just comes down to who wants it more..Some decisions today were weird from Gary today i will say that...But bring on next season before it all starts with the " I WON'T BE BACK" Brigade.. I will be back next season so be glad not to hear your moaning

"You can't blame the manager for how the players perform on the pitch"

What a crazy thing to say. Whats the point of having a manager then if he has no responsibility for getting the players to perform???????

Re: oh well !!!

No you cant blame the manager if the players cant play in this league then that their problem..The players have shown no passion or pride all season thats hardly the managers fault!!

Em..have you seen the job Gary Bollan did it at Airdrie who were in a worse position than East Fife when he took over?
Did he not have January to get players in?

I'm not for changing the manager but he must take a measure of responsibility.

If EF had won today, no doubt you would be praising the manager as well as the players.
It works both ways you know.

Re: oh well !!!

Sacking willy aitchison was the worst yhing we could have done. He had the club heading in the right direction. Now look what has happened. Shouldn't tamper with greatness.

Re: oh well !!!

Totally agree m8, plaid some gd football also

Re: oh well !!!

Are you lot on drugs, Atchisons one of the reasons why we were relegated... Assembled a brutal squad with no fight.. Very hard to recover from that ... also its about getting results not playingg football... do the likes of Forfar, Stranrear or Brechin play good football? No they grind out results and fight for every ball .. We haven't had that all season!

Re: oh well !!!

That clown of a manager is the reason we have been relegated ,Get Murray to fuck and take the players with you Murray. Keep current manager and let him build his own squad

Hahaa don't make me laugh, willie was a silly appointment, did he ever have a experience as a manager or even played like Gary at a top level for club+Country? No
Did he even come close to beaten rangers at home like gary did? No
Will willie get a manager job since leaving east fife at any of the club's bar Junior level? No
Was it Gary's fault? No he had to make do with what he had like Thom, Stewarts etc that was contracted at EF and couldn't add big name players as they were snapped up or the budget level.
Did gary have injuries today and squad was limited? Yes - hughes, paterson etc..
Did willie sign lots of players that short-stayed? Yes what happened to all these french duds that left or failed.

I'm one behind Gary and I bet if WA was still incharge of today's game you will be calling for his head. We will be back under Naysmith.

Aitchinson is quite frankly totally inept. Either you are on the wind or related to the failure.
