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.

As has been mentioned previously, that score line really, in no way adequately shows how convincing and comfortable a victory that that actually was, if anything it flatters Elgin by making the casual reader assume that they were in the game more than they actually were!!!

59% possession, 20 shots (13 of which on target), the stats show how impressive our performance actually was, against the “Form” side in the Division, they played better than Berwick did last week, as you would expect from the undefeated League Leaders, we only scored twice after all, but still they had nothing that really troubled us

For me our best player was again Naysmith, I think his work goes largely unnoticed when you have the skill and speed merchants like Fash and Wilkie catching the eye, but his use of the ball is always intelligent and his organisation is excellent. This is the fittest Gary has been since he has joined us, hopefully with all his injury problems behind him, it is really like getting a new player, more specifically an international class player with 40odd caps as a new signing. When fit he IS the best player in this Division!!!



Gary is looking fit again and pit in a solid display yesterday, doesn't get MOTM for me as I though he passed the ball to them A LOT yesterday.
You mentioned being critical of Fash first have as he looked like conserving energy my only moan about a good performance (besides not scoring more) would be Ryan in goals, he left me nervous a few times trying to claim balls and flapping.

WOW "facepalm"

Re: elgin

Thanks for all this info KK. Had to swap Dundonald for a corporate bash at Tannadice yesterday. Man's got to do what a mans' got to do. I think your comments regarding Gary as a player are spot on. I don't know how many times I've said on this forum that his best contribution to the team is playing on the park. Good to hear someone else with the same opinion. If he ever felt he was being too exposed by the opposition in the wide area, he could easily play "sweeper" until he was 40. If I managed to do it then anybody can!

Looking forward to the game on Tuesday with the team growing in confidence with these positive results and displays. Hope we have a good turn out, and that they bring a few fans along as well to improve things on the financial front. I've even told the club I'll forfeit my royalties for my article in the match programme!!!

My philophosoy way back when we played them and Celtic, and Rangers was "they've only got one heed, two arms, and two legs just like me, so what's to fear? Mon The Fife.
