Put us to the sword
Another day, another defeat for the cabbage, and once more, we were turned over.

As the script HAD to be, we were put to the sword by former players, with Craig Brewster scoring two and an effort of his meaning another.

Justin Walker had given the Pars an early lead after 11 minutes, when Brewster's header from a Crawford cross looked like going in, Caig managed to keep it out but only to Walker who rammed the ball high into the net.

Tony Caig made dropped a Lee Bullen cross in 23 minutes, gifting the ball to Brewster, who gleefully tapped the ball home for 2-0. But worse was to come for us long suffering just 9 minutes later when the game was finished as Dunfermline got a third. Thomson punted the long ball, which was picked by by Stevie Crawford, who easily rounded Caig and slid the ball home.

With three minutes left in the half Hibs pulled one back when a Townsley cross was touched home by Mixu Paatelainen.

On 57 minutes the scoring was complete when Brewster got his second and Dunfermline's fourth. Walker fired a cross in, but Caig could only palm the ball straight into the path of Brewster, who once more happily accepted a home error to fire the ball home.

The game finished 1-4, and if this nonsense continues, 1st Division football is a certainty. Complete RUBBISH.
