Chris knows danger of red

Friday, 3rd May 2013

"We enjoyed the experience but now we are looking forward to beating Airdrie on Saturday and staying in the First Division.

Chris Kane quotes

Chris Kane was one of the extremely disappointed Pars players who lost out to Celtic in the SFA Youth Cup in midweek but he feels that the U20 team did John Potter proud and stuck together in a season when it got really tough.

"It is not about money for these young boys, it is about getting chances to play at places like the National Stadium and to show the Manager what we are doing in the youth team.  Hopefully they can progress to be First Division and SPL players.

"It was the first time that I had played at Hampden and it was brilliant. The pitch was great and it was good to keep the ball down on the pitch."

Chris Kane

Almost immediately after climbing the steps to collect his finalist medal at Hampden, Chris was turning his attention to what we all know is a very important game for the Club against Airdrie United.

"We will learn from what happened on Wednesday night, I do not think we played badly - we matched them throughout all of the first and most of the second half. We were just unlucky with the chances, they fell for Celtic but maybe if we had taken our chances it would have been an entirely different scoreline.

Chris Kane

"Celtic will be relieved knowing that they got away with the win and scoreline that flatters them really. We enjoyed the experience but now we are looking forward to beating Airdrie on Saturday and staying in the First Division.

"We have a good crop of young players. All the boys are pushing for first team places. They know the situation, the fans and the Club have been brilliant for the last couple of months. Regardless of the pay problems, we would all do it for free anyway."

Scott Gray comes on for Chris Kane

Chris who joined Dunfermline from Hearts U19s, has collected 6 yellow cards this season in just 14 appearances and is always a concern to his coaches when on a caution. He was fresh for Wednesday's cup final because he had been serving a one match suspension last Saturday and during the cup final he realised that he might be seeing a second at one stage. Chris collected his first yellow in 34 minutes and was possibly fortunate that referee Scott Lambie played advantage. By the time play stopped the referee had had time to think out the consequences and permitted Chris to see the match out. He commented:-

"I like to keep that (aggression) in my game. I have been warned about it but that's my style." Chris will be 20 on the last day of this month and even though he sees yellow so regularly, he has never ever been sent off. He promised:-

"I have only ever had yellows but I will keep my eye on it for next season!"
