Superstar not super sub

For the third game running Ryan Thomson came off the bench to score for Dunfermline but he would much rather start the game on the field than on the bench and certainly does not want to earn the tag of super-sub.

"It is not the kind of thing that I want to be known for. You want to start games first and foremost but at the end of the day if you come on as a sub you want to impress, but a goal is a goal. At the end of the day I don't think I did too badly.

"I was always confident that I could get a goal because the way we play, I feel that I can get forward. We always believed that we could get back in it and in the end if there maybe had been another five minutes more we could have won the game because we were pushing for it.

"It just shows you how much a goal can change the game. The stadium got lifted by Barrowman's goal and the players feel that we have a chance, especially when we got another goal so quickly after it. It wasn't to be but with Morton winning their match it puts us top of the league and we want to stay there."

Ryan was too busy celebrating his own goal to notice the phenomenal scenes in the away stand.

"I would have liked to have seen it but I was too busy trying to get the ball. It shows that this was a massive game. At two nil down we were a bit disappointed but it showed great team spirit to get back to two each."

Ryan Thomson last started a game on 18th August but he is keen to be in the starting eleven which is at home to Morton on Saturday 20th October. He concluded "I just hope I have done enough".
