Is it a coincidence that our biggest home defeat for several years has seen dotnet hoaching with "new" posters?š¤
Welcome aboard chaps. So many of you with posts in single figures. Where have you all been hiding? It`s a pity you weren`t able to join us in happier times, like the tail-end of last season when we beat Falkirk or smashed QoS to clinch the League 1 title.

Very bitter OP. You can`t genuinely be surprised given the embarrassing effort at the weekend and the much more prolonged lack of form that people now voice their opinion.
Success and failure will bring people out to express their congratulations or their criticisms and it might not be the same people doing both but the numbers on the forum at either of these times will increase surely.

Not at all bitter, Westie. Just heavily ironic. I don`t believe for a minute that all these posters are new. I strongly suspect many of them have just signed up with a new username to vent their spleens at the Pars abject performance at the weekend,

Big Cheese`s first post was actually quite positive so I don`t think we should conclude that all new posters had the same motivation.
A fan who sits near me and views the forum but doesn`t post told me on Saturday that he had deleted the app from his phone as he was fed up with the amount of negativity from some posters.
Welcome to all new posters. We were all `new` once.

Not at all, 13en. I was just asking where all the new usernames appeared from and why at this moment. I may have completely misjudged the situation and all these new posters are indeed new. Apologies to anyone who has been wrongly accused of being an old poster pretending to be a new one, but I wasn`t suggesting everyone was.
If folk want to change their username, that`s their prerogative, but rightly or wrongly, it can lead to speculation by those who stick with the one they started with. There was no intent on my part to offend or divide fellow Pars fans - but maybe a bit mischievous on my part.

I`m an occasional rather than new poster. And a Pars fan for near on 60 years, so yes I`ve experienced the thick and thin. I came out of the woodwork to make a specific point (about the coaching team deciding not to make any changes at half-time) which nobody else seemed to be talking about. The post "Insanity" was supportive of the current management, but I accept it could have been interpreted as an attack. Football is a game of opinions, as someone once said. I reserve the right to remain silent unless I think I`ve got something worth saying. Does this sound reasonable to you?

I suppose its a lot harder to take such a bad display and result on the chin and offer helpful advice, rather than give vent to angry and frustrated comments. I take my Dunfermline tammy off to the poster on another thread who said that he stayed right to the end and clapped the team off. Sadly I didn`t do that, I left after the 4th goal went in, which gave me the opportunity to wend my weary way back to Glasgow in the semi light. But I would imagine that the two new boys in defence might have gained some encouragement if we had at least suffered in silence, rather than booing the team off. Maybe our attitude as supporters gives us the team we deserve. That`s not to say we should be happy with underachieving but a whole lot of negativity in a crisis doesn`t seem a wise course of action.

Good post, Paralex.
I, too, left before the 5th goal. I feel a bit ashamed of myself now, but at the time, it was just too painful to watch, and I took some comfort from the fact that there weren`t many left inside the stadium. I didn`t want to stay to the end to boo the team off, nor did I want to listen to angry fans who did.
I stayed away from dotnet on Saturday evening but read through the many threads the next day and noticed a number of unfamiliar usernames. No doubt the frustration at that totally unacceptable display got to me and was the reason I started this provocative thread. I have never seen myself as divisive or elitist, and I certainly wasn`t lecturing anyone, but the biting sarcasm was misplaced and unnecessary. I regret the anger it aroused in some posters.
As if we weren`t all angry enough......

I have to admit I have been struggling to go to watch the Pars this season. I have never felt so detached from the Pars and disinterested. I think a lot of that comes from the make up of the squad and that I think sits with the board. Im not concerned with who posts on here and who doesn`t. I take my hat off to everybody who is still going to games and following the team at this time. I bought my season ticket in the summer with some excitement and haven`t used it. If I was living in Dunfermline it might be different, travelling from Glasgow, adds a barrier that I am struggling to get over. I haven`t had a problem with the BOD until this season but I get the distinct feeling they have lost interest in the "project" and that filters down to the team. I let them off with their appointment of Peter Grant and what that did with the side and I think they have had a reasonable amount of time to show their intent. If there were signs of progress I would be happy but from what I can see they have taken the club backwards. We have had a horrendous season with injuries but we do have a large income compared to our peers. Unlike them we wont bring the level of players required in to the side and you cant win games with just potential. Hopefully, things will change but I wont be travelling to watch us fail to compete in a relegation battle.

So you`ve come to the conclusion that they`re not worth watching without having seen them, Benny74? What persuaded you to buy a season ticket?
I don`t think it`s fair to say the Board have `lost interest in the Project` when visible progress is being made at the site in Rosyth.

I get where Benny is coming from. I live in Aberdeen and like him I had a season ticket for years up until this season as I believed that this financial commitment plus the monthly CC was my ā helpā to the club . This season I considered the fact that every home game and some away games was costing anywhere upwards of Ā£40 in petrol or transport tickets. I just felt the connection with the team wearing down and the enthusiasm and enjoyment of Saturday coming round was being lost so I choose to do something else with that money. I dare say if the product on the park was better the fuse may be lit again ( I hark back to Dick and Bertās playing style for when I enjoyed most) but the standard of most SPFL teams skill wise is at an all time low and although there can still be drama , the disillusionment of fans with the game domestically is definitely out there. I am really sorry to say that too as a football fan of nearly 50 years.

I`m one of those people new to the forum, but who has followed it for a while and been a fan of the club for 30 years. I think I`ve probably posted twice this season, largely because I`m busy, I live away and can`t always get to games. Some people will be like me and that should be totally fine.
Its clear that most people are feeling pretty frustrated right now and I think thats in part where this thread came from. It won`t put me off posting again and I respect the fact that the OP has provided more explanation.

These new posters that have come out and shared their views is the biggest positive Iāve taken from the Morton game.
Itās always been the case that weāve had a silent majority on this forum, viewing from afar so to take that step and start posting shouldnāt be viewed as negative and that theyāre just on for throwing digs.
Itās the opposite, these are fans that are passionate for their club who can no longer stand back and not air their views and share their feelings.
Iām all for it, and encourage more out there to share their opinions because quite frankly, itās no doubt going to be more sensible and thought provoking than some of the nonsense thatās spouted on the forum on a day to day basis anyway.

I`ve never thought this forum was representative of the Pars` support. I would say the majority view on here is negative but that doesn`t tally with the impression I get from talking to fans, most of whom don`t post but occasionally view the posts and express surprise at the volume and nature of criticism. Not scientific, of course, purely anecdotal. I doubt this is confined to Pars` fans. I think social media in general tends to attract critical commentary.

I think the point could be well made, that it would be very nice to see all the new posters coming back, in better days to heap some deserved praise on the team when it`s due. It does seem that maybe that goes against the grain with many. It used to be posited that a football match was a great place for those with very stressful lives to let off steam by shouting and bawling at their team for 90 minutes. Job done, the stress rolls off, psychological balance restored. I thought that philosophy was left behind with the dinosaurs but maybe not.
