Just not clicking in the final third for The Red Lichties.

Cannae say the home support aren’t doing their bit.

They’re certainly doing Scott Brown’s heid in with their drum, though…

Aaron Muirhead and Gavin Reilly are on for Arbroath.

Expect a wee reshuffle off the pack…

Thirty minutes to go.

Mind, this result is enough for the Pars.

Nurudeen Abdulai cuddling Findlay Marshall to the ground there…

Matty Todd tries a shot at goal and he forces a decent save outta Arbroath ‘keeper Aidan McAdams.

We’re back at it.

This was the penalty claim I was referring to.

Must admit, from where I was, I didn’t clock the Pars fans are probably after a last man challenge…

Thoughts?

If he subs himself on, David Gold will make his 400th career appearance tonight.

The co-player-manager made six appearances during the regular Championship season, including off the bench this time last week against the Pars.

Smokie Joe is in goal, with wee totties taking shots into him.

He’s about as mobile as me…

We’re as we were 45 minutes ago.

It all got a bit lively at the end there, with the Pars finishing strongly.

Before that, Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen cleared Scott Robinson’s effort off the line in the flashpoint moment of the half.

And another.

Andrew Tod this time for Dunfermline.

Wow, the Pars are ending this half strongly!

Charlie Gilmour blazes an effort into the nearby amusement park, but it was a real chance… after John Tod’s initial close range hit was blocked.

Well, for starters, it’s miles out the box, it’s in the D.

But, Andrew Tod goes down far too theatrically.

Oh the Pars fans want a penalty…

Five to go in this feisty first half…

Harry Cochrane is the latest home player in the book.

High and late on Charlie Gilmour.

Referee David Dickinson has been busy…

With such a good crowd, they’re surrounding us.

Hearing all sorts of shouts.

The clean ones, right now, are about wanting more from the Pars…

Tell you what, it’s a cracking crowd here, from both sets of supporters. As you’d hope for.

Superb stuff.

It really is tasty out there…
