Nine half-hours, Nine Goals*, Nine Points
Sun, 22nd Sep 2002
So, the winning streak – that is, the Pars’ on the pitch and not the red one sprawling across moaning James McFadden’s cranium – continues. And, in the process, Dunfermline showed that – ironically against Motherwell – they now have the steel to turn matches that may have ended goalless in previous seasons into three points.

Pars player ratings v Motherwell
Sat, 21st Sep 2002
Dunfermline today managed to grind out another three points at home to Motherwell. It was not pretty and it was not the free flowing football we know they can play, but the three points were won which is the important thing. This was a tricky tie for Dunfermline who have been getting praise lavished upon them recently, they were in a no win situation today so thankfully came up with the goods in the form of those three points.
