An absolutely awful game of football. Aimless hurried balls forward for the most part coupled with poor balls in from the wide areas meant there was nothing to get excited about for the first hour or so. Todorov offered surprisingly little when he came on but MacGregor really helped drive us forward and Welsh showed Carson and to a lesser extent Vincent how to properly keep the ball moving through midfield recycling it well and ensuring continual movement across the pitch as we probed for a way through. Doran had our best chance when a wild swerving effort was stopped by Gill before Devine was punished for a handball in the box and Welsh dispatched the spot kick with confidence. Dunfermline were howling but we were far from impressive ourselves. Still, win when you're playing badly is the sign of champions right...?

Turning the draws into wins with options from the bench - that's been Robbo's mantra - it almost worked at Dens and today he pulled it off to perfection. A tight game, a shyte game - lots of those in this league - but we defended well throughout and changed the whole pattern of the game with early subs. I won't describe the chances because there weren't any but the defence was superb and MacGregor and Welsh on the ball were a joy towards the end - I hope to see them both start next week. Neutrals and Pars might see these points as a steal but we might prefer to see them as a promotion winning side being smart enough to know how to get them.

Dunfermline were the better team in the first half. Tremarco made a vital headed clearance off the line after about three minutes. The early use of substitutes ultimately won us the three points. Dunfermline's substitute Danny Devine was given a very warm reception by our large travelling support and returned the favour with the handball to enable us to achieve our first away league win of the season. Every little helps and the history books will show we won. Three league games in a row with a clean sheet. The wind caused problems for both teams. Pity really because the playing surface was first class but underused.

Haha soz pal anybody past Perth is really a weegie just with a slightly different twang!

If ever a game deserved to be 0-0 it was this one! We lacked creativity upfront, resorting to long balls and the ball was seldom on the deck. We didn’t deserve to win, but we certainly didn’t deserve to lose either.

Last season this type of game would have ended in a draw or defeat so well done the team for getting such a great result. Shows also how important player Welsh is for us - long may he stay fit.

This is what we couldn't do last season, win ugly. We have to keep on grinding out results when not playing well, as County did last season, and we will be in the mix at the end of the season.

Yes!!! FT Win ugly... that'll do me fine...just fine, off for a beer.

We’ve nicked it. Inverness Caledonian Turpins

“Calmac’s WiFi working” shocker. Enjoying episode 3 immensely. Moff the anchorman ? Ross, it was Wyness who scored the two late goals in 2000-1. Stewart was well away by this time. A happy car that night heading down the A9. Moff, Hissy swung on the bar at the away end after Barry Robson scored our second with about 3 minutes left. As one of the “Palmerston 28 or so” I was encouraging him to do it again the following Tuesday night. He did respond with a smile as he was unaware that his nickname “half man, half duck” about which he had been moaning to Scotty, had been started by me... Keep it up, guys ?

Many Thanks to all who paid. we are now fully paid up for the player and I will make arrangements to confirm everything with Emma

Was it not against Raith? 3-2 final score
