22/01/10: "They are a well organised side, they have good experienced players who have played at a higher level than this. You always get a tough game."

17/01/10:- "In the second half I asked them to go out and show what they are made off and I thought they did that. We just didn't quite get that bit of luck on the day.

Apologies to the fans for fielding a player on Saturday who should have been serving a one match cup suspension.

09/01/10: Jim McIntyre and John Coughlin

Two years after taking on the Manager's job, Jim McIntyre agrees an extension to his contract that keeps him at Dunfermline until June 2011.

19/12/09 JM:- "It was in very tricky conditions for the players to put on any great deal of quality football.

18/12/09:- "We have been scoring plenty at home so we just need to keep the backdoor shut. It will be a hard game.....

12/12/09: JM "We made the chances to kill the game off but we never took them. I am not going to blame Andy Kirk - he had two cleared off the line.

11/12/09: "We were letting too many crosses come into the box so we need to get back to doing the basics well and I am confident that they will do that."
