All gates should accept credit cards.
All seats should be unallocated.
If that had been a music gig, fans would have turned up at a sensible time - about an hour before kickoff.
.
Music gig is a shite comparison.
They would have turned up with a pre-purchased ticket for an allocated seat.

There's some right contradictory bastards on this forum that would do anything to spin any form of blame back on their fellow Buds.
Dunfermline were taking the piss yesterday. Advertised as "pay at the gate" when it is in fact buy tickets at kiosk and then move to another line to enter, put two staff on to cover the entire away support and continued to charge full price to fans who had missed a good chunk of the match.
Even worse, there are photos going round of fire exists tied shut! What the hell are they thinking?
To answer the question above, I would say yes, if a game is "pay at the gate" in the Scottish Championship I would expect to show up at 2.50 and make it in the stadium for 3pm. Yesterday I would have been disappointed as people who arrive at 2.30 didn't get in until 3.15!
It's a right mess, and I hope the club will be taking all of this with Dunfermline.
On the other hand, for those grumbling about the time taken to get hot food: If you can't go 90 minutes without shovelling a pie or hot dog in to your gub there is something wrong with you!! I never understand why the "luxury" of buying a pie and bovril is always factored in to complaints about pricing or queueing up at the football.
No fire exits were tied shut. It's a tamper tag to highlight that the door has been opened at some point. They break with no effort, same tags you find on a fire extinguisher.
Agree with the rest of the post though.

No, we changed after losing 2 goals.That's what I thought also.

Play high balls over our central defence
Exactly how Morton played against us and we continued to play a high defensive line when we should have dropped deeper in 2nd half. If we had, Baird wouldn't have got sent off and we'd be level pegging and on ascendancy.

Mind you we lost two goals last week after reverting to back four
Did we?

3-5-2 worked ok away to Livy but last week it was a struggle even though we won, surprised we stuck with it today. Better teams will teams drag our central defenders wide and the exploit the gaps.
We don't have many defenders available now but we need to get back to 4 at the back asap.
Bad result but we're 1 point off the leaders with back to back home games coming up. Happy with our position right now.

After watching those highlights I'm surprised Ridgers wasn't giving the MOTM, thats the best game he's ever had
for us...
He have a good game but what the highlights don't show is the deflection for then first goal. Was going towards far post before defender got a flick to it, still should have saved it with his feet though.

Well, seeing as you're now picking up on spelling , "doesn't maybe" doesn't make sense.
He was offside, people saying it was because it" hit off" or "took a nick of" (sic) a Saints player don't know the offside rule.
It wasn't a forward pass, it didn't take a nick, it didn't hit off the saints player. It was played back by the saints player who got to the ball first.
It was onside and the ref, on this occasion made the right call.
I'm well aware of the offside rule, spent 10 mins or so arguing with a stupid Jambo at the Scotland game on Monday who kept shouting at Griffiths as he thought he was offside at every goal kick
Don't know where you sit but it was funny watching the rage from people in the west stand who obviously had a different angle. Everyone around me in the family stand knew it was played back by a Saints player.

Morgan certainly did, changing from blue boots in the 1st half to red/black ones.
Should have gone to specsavers.
His boots were green in the first half..........

Is it another example of pooly used language or a lack of understanding of the offside rule?
"Pooly" indeed....
Poor journalism skills doesn't mean the player was onside.

Nope surely the ICT player is offside as soon as the ball is played.
As soon as it's played by our player?

How about the wording of this, from the official website match report.
What about it?

He said "Tbf think it's hit one of our defenders so probably correct call."
That is a lack of understanding of the offside rule.
I think you're being fussy with TC's wording
The bottom line is he wasn't offside and TC was right in his assessment that he wasn't offside.

And if that's what happened then it would have been offside.
It's amazing that so many people don't know the offside rule.
It didn't hit off our player, it wasn't deflected. It was played back (forward from an ICT point of view) by our player. Right call by the referee.
I'm sure TC does know the offside rule, you're just being a bit fussy about his wording. I

It did yeah. Flag went up for about half a second at which point our defence stopped and then Collum waved play on so linesman dropped the flag and caught back up.
Cheers, didn't see that from behind the goals. Good decision from the twat.

I thought the referee has the final decision to make? He over-ruled the linesman for the second ICT goal.
Did he?
I honestly didn't notice the flag go up for their second goal.

ICT might have scored another couple, but we hit the post, and missed two sitters, from Smith and Reilly.
So I think we were well worthy of our two goal winning margin.
They could have scored 4 or 5 in the first 20 mins of the 2nd half.
It really could have been 6 each today. Great entertainment.
-
That was a very average performance with a fantastic result. Thought we were very fortunate and the score line flattered us. The type of match we would have lost 4-2 this time last year.
The formation has worked well but today Inveresss set up intelligently, played 3 up top for large parts and dragged out centre halves all over the place. They've had a poor start but I'm sure the will have a good chance of being involved in the playoffs.
Lewis Morgan is different gravy.

But we all know there was way more than that.
Yip, that's why we have our games all ticket with a barcode entry turnstile system.
Makes it much easier to commit fraud.

On yesterday's showing I'm glad we didn't push the boat out on McDonald.
Much rather have a young up and coming striker like Gavin Reilly leading the line with a brilliant attitude.

Like I said on the Craig a Thomson thread, the exact same thing happened the next day in the Spurs Chelsea game.
Player injured, offender booked. Injured player receives treatment on the park and is then ask to leave before being allowed back on.
No drama, no complaints from players or management. The game continues.
The referee has the call, if he wants him off the park then there's f**k all anyone can do about it.
JR had every right to be disappointed and annoyed at the refs decision but he went absolutely mental and acted aggressively towards the referee. Only 1 outcome there I'm afraid.

Shite comparison.
As you said, music fans have a main event as there's almost always one or more support acts to entertain people before the "main event".
It's perfectly reasonable to be at the turnstiles 30 minutes before kick off and expect to gain entry in ample time before the ONLY event starts.
This was a stadium over 40% short of capacity FFS.
