It is with great sadness that I have to post this. My dad Ian (Ben's grandpa) passed away yesterday in his house, aged 84.
Always wearing a Pars top and his scarf, he went home and away for over 20 years with me, and latterly Ben.
A great dad and a great friend.
⚽️ What a way for
@Paulya11an
to score his first Pars goal! I was glad to capture the moment in this video.
Full Dunfermline v Airdrie match vlog will be posted later this evening.
The greatest captain Dunfermline Athletic has ever had 4️⃣
On the day that would’ve been his 63rd birthday, we remember a true
#DAFC
legend, Norrie McCathie 🖤🏁
The club record for clean sheets in all competitions during a single season has been broken by Deniz Mehmet and co! 🔥
The shutout against Kelty on Saturday made it 21 for the 2022/23 campaign, surpassing Ian Westwater’s 20 in 1985/86! 👏🏼
….and there’s still 6 games to play 👀
James McPake confirms Matty Todd has played his last minutes for
#DAFC
this season after undergoing surgery.
A tremendous season all-round, adding goals and assists to his game, with plenty of personal awards set to come his way 🏆
See you next season, Matty 🍾
I don’t usually post personal photos, but here’s me at Larbert hospital this evening visiting my dad.
He was delighted with yesterday’s result and put his Pars top on, party because a couple of the nurses are Falkirk fans 😁

@JoshFalky_4
:
“Although Leeds will always be ‘my club’, Dunfermline are my other team.
“The messages I receive from fans up there are fantastic; my social media goes off every time Harrogate have any success. The Pars fans are always the first to congratulate me!”
One of the very few successes this season has been on loan goalkeeper
@JakubStolarczy4
.
We have probably seen his last game for Dunfermline, so thank you Jakub for your performances and also for giving everything, for caring and for really getting what the club means to us.
Of all the players released today, Lewis Martin deserves a special mention and not just included in a list.
171 games for
#DAFC
over 9 years, overcoming many challenges. His performance against Celtic in 2019 is one of the best I've seen from a Pars player.
All the best, Lewis.
James McPake’s first words after becoming Dunfermline manager in May 2022:
🗣 “We don’t want to be disappointed every Saturday. We’ve got to be working hard every single day for
#DAFC
to be better.”
Since then, the Pars have 0 competitive losses at home & just 1 league defeat.
FT: Dunfermline 2, Hearts 1. Magnificent Pars performance with every player a hero. Unbeaten - and ending Hearts’ unbeaten run - and top of the league!
Kyle Benedictus: James McPake’s best signing, bringing character, leadership and experience to
#DAFC
💪🏼
Kyle will serve a one match suspension after his red card on Saturday, meaning he won’t be able to play every minute of every game, but what a captain he has been this season!
We also have to thank the loan players that represented
#DAFC
this season.
Whether they were squad players or regular starters, Chris Mochrie, Robbie Mahon, Ewan Otoo, Kane Ritchie-Hosler, Paul McGowan & Sam Fisher all played their part in a record breaking, title winning team🙌🏼
@RaithRovers
Could you make it any worse? Ten years will seem like ten minutes to his victim. As if the passing of time makes a difference! Despite our rivalry, I never disliked Raith as a club - until now. Shameful handling of the situation.
Aaron Comrie has triggered the appearance clause in his
#DAFC
contract to extend it by another year.
This has been made official by club in this article:
It’s been a while since we’ve received a dose of great news. This is certainly that! 🏁
#DAFC
have appointed Alan Main as goalkeeping coach.
Alan, 54, had a long playing career spanning 24 years and is best remembered for his time at St Johnstone.
Welcome to EEP, Alan!
🏁 This is what it’s all about. The captain makes young Pars fan Dylan’s day after seeing the number 4 on Dylan’s top. Then the wee guy’s reaction. Fantastic.
Yellow or red?
Fraser Murray’s foul on Lewis McCann could have seen the Kilmarnock player sent off but referee Euan Anderson decided a booking was enough.
FT: Queen’s Park 0, Dunfermline 2
An emphatic win - one of the best team displays in the McPake era. From goalkeeper right through to the outstanding
@lewismccann24
up front, this great team effort secured a brilliant 3 points.
Pars family! 19 year old

kit.
Ian is a former season ticket holder who still keeps up to date with Pars news online.

@EwanOtoo
’s mum again yesterday after an earlier chat at Cappielow last month.
Ewan’s mum is rightly very proud of her son and was pleased to hear how highly he is rated by Pars fans.
A 2-2 draw led to a penalty shootout win for The Pars Under 18s in the SFA Youth Cup 🙌🏻
Here’s the best goal of the night, and the only one I got on camera, from Freddie Rowe. Keep an eye out for this boy in the future!
#DAFC
is delighted to announce the return of
@KaneHosler
, for an undisclosed fee, from Rangers Football Club.
The 20 year old winger has signed a 3 year deal at KDM Group East End Park 🏁
➡️
🥕 Falkirk will take a 9-4 lead on corners into the second leg of their play-off against Airdrie this weekend.
In this evening's other Scottish Championship play-off first leg, Alloa defeated Hamilton 9-5 on corners.
FT: Dunfermline 3, Dundee United 1.
What a performance! Goals from Matty Todd on his 100th appearance, and the fantastic Kane Ritchie-Hosler getting two goals and an assist. A great night all round - topped off with a young fan delighted receiving the captains armband! 🏁
8️⃣ years ago today, the
#DAFC
squad took to the streets of Dublin for their Christmas trip 🇮🇪
They made sure everyone knew about Faissal! Great memories that season 🙌🏼
Welcome to the Pars, Malachi 👏🏼
We look forward to seeing you on the pitch for
#DAFC
. All of our prayers are with your hamstrings, knees and ankles at this difficult time.

In my 31 years as a Dunfermline fan, the on loan

#DAFC
management team James McPake and Dave Mackay have signed contract extensions until June 2026.
Stability and ongoing redevelopment are the way forward for the club and James and Dave are the ideal team to lead us.

I am very saddened by the news of Stevie Crawford's resignation today.
You will not meet a nicer guy, who always put the club first, which is what he has done here.
All the very best to a true Pars legend.

The best steak pie I’ve had at a game. Pastry was excellent, not a hard edge like most pies. Steak was full of flavour. The perfect pie!
