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.

Squad Updates 2014/15

New thread for hopefully a new and exciting young squad. After a few days of going over it in my head, i'm pretty excited about next year.

Under contract:

Ross Brown
Lewis Barr
Steven Campbell
Nathan Austin

Am i right in thinking Rusty and Smith signed 2 year deals? I'd keep them both if there willing to stay.

I'd keep: Buchanan, Thom, Paterson and McBride

The rest can leave.

Also seen on twitter the chairman saying there is big news coming. We'll see.

Edit to add: Confirmed Naysmith will be staying on as manager.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Think Rutkiewicz and Smith are both under contract for next season as well. Correct me if I am wrong anyone but I believe they both signed 18 month deals in January? Reckon the 'big news' will be confirmation of who is leaving and who have been offered new contracts. I think it's a great start that Gary Naysmith is staying and that we're giving him the opportunity to build his own team for next season.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Current squad:
Kevin Rutkiewicz
Stevie Cambell
Ross Brown
Lewis Barr
Kevin Smith
Nathan Austin
Darryl Falconer
Dylan Rooney

Thats about all i would keep of the current squad.

Hopefully big news is along the lines of.. "Craig Gordon and James McFadden sign for East Fife"

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Big news my Arse
Wouldn't be surprised if this shower resign Johnston such is their ability to spout shite and sign garbage.

Buchanan is another MCManus. Couldn't hit a rusty shed door fae 10 feet.

Get rid.

Will he be fit for the start of the new season, would we want to sign an injury prone and does he have the legs?

Andy Kirk, Darren Young, Stephen Hughes, Garry O'Connor, Mikel Forssell. Gavin Rae would be good adds.

Players like Durie and McBride have been here too long and having the odd decent game every month just isn't going to cut it. If we keep resigning these players I think a lot of fans won't bother turning up next season, massive clearout needed.

Spot on. McBride and Durie are simply not good enough. Would rather get rid of Rutkiewicz and keep Mbu instead.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Lewis Coult favourites a retweet by Lee Murray regarding "Big News". That's as good as a signature imo.

Correct must be mad to give them another chance like last season and did nothing. Though mcbride was top goalscorer last season somehow he didn't carry that form this season and did try towards the end of the campaign after a spell on the sidelines. For durie in and out the team and played right midfield at times just ain't good enough. Just think they need a fresh start elsewhere also Thom bit of a lightweight as a defender, can get into bother as we seen a few red cards only started as a cover to injuries to Mbu etc another one in and out of the team. Time to build around the squad we have signed at the moment. Not so sure about rutkinwicz must be some age and will he be fit enough is my only concern.
Would like to see a experienced keeper to help and tutor young rooney in the squad someone like McCulloch type under baikie era.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

My only hope for this years squad is that we build exactly that, a squad.

Towards the end, we were playing full backs as wingers and central midfielders, strikers as wingers, defenders as midfielders etc. Hope to god we can get squad of players filling every position.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Ryan stewart another player confirmed on twitter he is moving on along with durie, stoney, mcbride and Mbu looks like we will have to re-appoint another captain i hope we take our time over the captaincy at the club once we get a team together.
For me Campbell is my obvious choice but is he a leader, a motivator and able to get his point across and communicate with others. Hopefully GN gets it right am right behind him.

As the super EF fan that you are I!m sure you will remember the revolution that took place, the full time players signed, are you saying they were on PT wages you fekin bumper. Some of the players rightly or wrongly in supporters opinions, some had to wait and in some cases had to go in and Ask for the cash. whether you or anyone else agrees or disagrees if they should be paid on time every month is another story. it is however a very poor way to run any business. Look at some other clubs that's how it all started with them.
The revolution went in with there eyes open and knew all the troubles within the club and fek me if they didnt what sort of business people are they. Promises promises

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

From the official site:

We confirm that the following players have left the club :-

Liam Buchanan

Pat Clarke

David Cowan

Scott Durie

Bruce Inkango

Craig Johnstone

Marc McKenzie

Joe Mbu

Scott McBride

Greg Paterson

Ryan Stewart

Johnny Stewart

Gary Thom

We did try to agree a deal to keep Gary Fisher at the club but this failed and therefore Gary will also be leaving us.

We can confirm that Assistant Manager, Paul Hegarty has also left the club.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish Paul and all the Players the very best for the future.

More news will be released in the coming days.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Wow. Mass clearout.

Much needed and glad to see it after the past two seasons.

Gary will now have the chance to build his own team and will live or die on his sword with that.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

An offer has been made to Cruyus Mavi, we are awaiting his response. The club feel it is only right we try and stand by him as he recovers from a serious injury..

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Well looks like we are having that complete rebuild.a little scary to see so many go at once but i am hoping for the best!!

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Last 2 seasons we have been left behind our rivals and had too many boys signed just as bit part squad players.

Hopefully Naysmith can establish a strong base of 15 players early in pre season and continue to blend youth in the likes of Barr, Brown and Austin through the squad.


Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Buchanan left.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Slightly bigger clearout than I had expected - shows that Naysmith means business.
Hopefully Gary can bring in a No2 of his own choosing and has some replacements already lined up. Can't say I am too disappointed with those released except Scott McBride.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Its a brave stance by the manager to move on so many players at once. In my opinion its shows that Gary has the bottle to be a good East Fife manager.

I thought people were joking about Moosavi, had to check the club site. Why are we offering him a new contract? Would we have offered him a new deal had he been fit??

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

For what possible reason would Moosavi not sign if he's been made an offer? I just don't understand that. Last year we had seriously poor players and in the few appearances that he made he was truly awful. Does the boy expect an offer from a higher league? It made me laugh when Aitchison was asked about Moosavi's background and he said that he basically knew him from the gym near Hearts training ground. "He's a right fit boy". I can only imagine he's been offered a tenner a week or something. Credit the club for doing the right thing but the lad ain't a footballer. Hopefully he wont accept the terms and good luck to him in the future. He made Pat Clark look decent.

No Pat Clarke was way worse, Probably the worst I have ever seen for a long long time at Bayview. Notwithstanding that can't believe we have signed CM too, I would have given him some fake bake, hair straighteners and a mirror as a parting gift. Model yes, football player certainly not!

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Think we will have to be realistic about potential signings. It's not as if we've got plenty cash and now we're in basement league it will be hard to attract decent players to drop down to this level. I doubt there will be lots of season tickets sold after that shambles last season so where will the money come from? Going to be an interesting pre-season that's for sure. Hopefully Gary and Lee get players snapped up quickly and we're not left with the dross no other team wants. Happy with clear out, about time in my eyes.

I'm inclined to agree. I think of all the players released Scott could be the unluckiest. He gets goals, often vital ones, has a decent range of skills and in League 2 could have been a big asset.

Why are you so ignorant about football? Mbu was a freeloader who did the minimum on the pitch. He is the worst central defender The Fife has ever had. Cracking player for Cowdenbeath but way past his sell by date. He cost us more goals than any other defender, his movement in the box was poor as was his positioning. He had one or two decent games. But that was not good enough. If you have played in that position like me then you will know what I am saying.

Whatever you may think about Joe Mbu, to come on with that infantile post, amongst many other similar ones, shows how obnoxious a person you are. Nothing to do with how good or bad a player someone is, or whether you have played in that position or not! You are simply an odious person, end off!

The test of what kind of person you are, is if you would say 'YEESSSSSSSSSS!' to Joe's face!

YEESSSSSSSSSS!



Why are you such an obnoxious knob?


Why are you so ignorant about football? Mbu was a freeloader who did the minimum on the pitch. He is the worst central defender The Fife has ever had. Cracking player for Cowdenbeath but way past his sell by date. He cost us more goals than any other defender, his movement in the box was poor as was his positioning. He had one or two decent games. But that was not good enough. If you have played in that position like me then you will know what I am saying.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Any updates on suitation on Cyrus in winning a deal or not with him still being injured? Will naysmith change his mind on playing, the confirmation on his backroom staff if it's dougie and news on any other signings, still seems pretty quiet.

Terracing Now!

Wouldn't bother me if we got rid of the whole lot,a new start is whats needed,kept too many of the team that just survived the previous season and look whar happened.As for mcbride he is utter shite and only tries at end of season when a new contract is up for grabs,get rid

that is utter shite Scott has been injured also he can score goals when he is played in the right position.


I'm inclined to agree. I think of all the players released Scott could be the unluckiest. He gets goals, often vital ones, has a decent range of skills and in League 2 could have been a big asset.


Yeah agree.... would have kept Scott McBride.
And a couple of the other Fife guys....Paterson and Durie. That would have been it though!

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Updating squad 05/06/14

Rooney -Goalie
Rutkinwicz - CB
Campbell - CB
Moyes - CB
Walker - Centre Midfield
Cook - wide Midfield
McAleer - wide Midfield
Barr - centre midfield
Brown - centre midfield
Mcshane - forward
Smith - forward
Austin - forward
Falconer - forward

Just need another goalie, full-backs and another striker and it's complete

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

We need at least another 7 signings to give us a squad of 20 minimum. Cover needed for injuries and suspensions but also to have competition for places. The last few seasons some players have basically been guaranteed a starting place no matter how they were playing. Players need to know that someone is waiting on their chance if they are not performing well.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

I suppose there's a chance of a loan signing or 2 from Hearts given the Naysmith/Neilson connection.......

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Hunted? You obviously think you know more than you actually do because Mbu did not cost us more goals than any other defender and the club have the video analysis and stats to prove that. Don't slag a player off just because you seemingly played in that position and think that gives you the right to wrongly accuse a player.

What's with the attitude? Turn up where faggot? I'll make you lick my balls you white trash honky faggot. Mbu was a fucking freeloader journeyman who got one more seasons play when he should have hung up his boots what with the injuries and who who didn't give a fuck about the black and gold shirt. He was not the only fucker but he stood out as centre of defence plus his poor play and failure to marshal the back four. Why don't YOU look at the hi lights on EFTv the camera does not lie.

You can add liam woolley centre half
david maskrey midfield

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Durie un Fisher have not signed for Albion yet,however Nade has signed on at Raith.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Is bradley Grieve still at the club? he looked great during last pre-season but never got a look in I hope he is still around. Great to see we have a young squad with wolley, maskrey, falconer yet to hit the heights like barr, brown and rooney in this squad.
Will Dylan still be number one goalie since the arrival of Fleming?

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

The club is pleased to announce that goalkeeper Allan Fleming from Kelty Hearts has put pen to paper to join us.

Lewis Coult apparently trained with Berwick Rangers tonight. Thought we were signing him? Hope it's not too late, would love to see the big streak o pish in an East Fife strip.

Thought that aswell we have plenty cover upfront with big McShane there, just need left back or is naysmith returning to the field.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

We are pleased to welcome defender, Fraser Mullen to East Fife. Fraser joins us on a one year deal from Raith Rovers FC having previously been with Heart of Midlothian FC & Hibernian FC.

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Coult has attitude right enough. Trouble is it stinks


Don\'t have to worry about the probability of that now, he\'s just signed for Stirling Albion this morning!!!

Greig has got together a not bad squad there for next season, along with Coult, Steven Doris and Gordon Smith also signed this morning for them!!!

They join three ex-fifers already signed Greg Paterson, Darren Smith and Craig Wedderburn, with a fourth, Scott Durie rumoured to be signing next week!!!

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

Scott Durie has already signed for Albion Rovers

Re: Squad Updates 2014/15

According to a linlithgow fan on P and B they still have our ex-player ovy at the club and with Thom joining they look a decent team this season for their east of scotland campaign this season with those two in their defence. Hope they make it into the scottish cup very soon and it's always a nice place to vist.
