Haha get it right up the cheating ref, I am usually the first to moan at Hegarty's terrible record but tonight he was shown his second yellow for taking a quick free kick.

Got to agree totally with this. Hegarty has been a liability to us for most of the season because of the number of red and yellow cards he has picked up. However this evening the referee was simply wrong in his actions. He had an extremely weak first half but was passable in the second.

Mucking Farvellous that Dix Prix were the first team to leave Links Park pointless this year. That'll teach the shites to play to Fester's tactics.

Great result.

Forfar's season has went to shit in the last couple of weeks. Actually unfathomable to think that QP could be 3rd by close of play on Saturday! Would take a bit of a humping for Rafrof but who would write that off now.

[Alloa_Shire]

Just what we needed with the form we are in, dreading Saturday now

I was in the middle of a sweeping epic tale about Montrose triumphing over a whistle happy gnome like ref and the banjo plucking flute and pipe band hordes from Faarfiiiiiiiiiiiir when the laptop froze and I lost the heroic prose . So this time it's a get it right up ye Fester. That's three times I've seen Faarfiiiiiiiiiiiir this season and they are the worst team I have seen all season, given the amount Dicky boy has spent. Tonight Montrose defended magnificently, came through the worst refereeing performance in many a long season and finished with great aplomb. Great contributions from everyone tonight, McNeil was tremendous when the defence was breached, which was not very often. The midfield worked their socks off especially, second half when Tosher was brought in to bolster them after the ridiculous sending off of Hegarty. The Beast had his best game in a Montrose jersey. All in all very satisfying!

yyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

fao john gemmell, why has it taken this long to put in a decent shift?? You can clearly do it, but you have been arse all season. Please continue to prove us wrong and I'll happily accept you "writing to the critics" and getting it RFUM.

wasnt pretty but effective, great ball from milligan to set up Aaron Sinclair, great goal from him and a great ball for Gemmell to score.


well done to Mcneil for two top class saves.

We should do our utmost to sign watson.

Montrose got there tactics spot on tonight, Dicks cry was 'no surrender' has fallen on deaf ears, his hook is hanging by a pritt stick !!!
On a positive note, well played to the ref for the sending off, not because the heggie family are total shitebags but for the way he booted the ('quick free kick to no one' )ball at Smith , thank f**k we never signed him in Jan!!!!!

Well played though to montrose and macca , tosher and sir james moffat !

To nobody? What about Aaron Sinclair who had miles of space out wide left(the exact same direction he kicked it).

What a night! Montrose did really well, but we've played better and lost this season. I still can't get over how awful Forfar are.

They started well enough, winning endless corners and having the netter of the opening exchanges. However, a dreadful blunder from Brown cost them the first goal. The keeper inexplicably left a ball played across his six yard box, and Sinclair stooped to head home.

Hegarty was sent off, as others have said, for trying to take a free kick quickly. That referee was the worst I've seen in a long, long time. I hope the club appeal the red card, as it was a rank injustice.

Shortly after, just before half time, Gemmell, who was full of running and commitment, notched the second with a calm finish from a difficult angle.

With Hegarty dismissed, we were obliged to play the second half like a team defending a half time lead away from home, hitting on the break. We did well as Forfar pumped endless high balls ijnto the box. McNeil was magnificent, dealing very well with everything in the air and producing tow fine sprawling saves from free kicks- one in each half.

Milligan;s lob for the third was brilliantly executed, and Gemmell produced another excellent finish from another difficult position to round off the win.

All in all, Fester's Red Hand Commandos were thoroughly decommissioned and put beyond use. For all the money he's had, and for all the solid and talented players he's been allowed to sign, his team really are awful- no better than the bunch Moffat and Willie Garner had. Moffat had no money and a poor, thin squad, but at least his team played with a little bit of heart (remembering that 4-3 win at Castle Greyskull, for example, when they came back from 3-1 down).

So, to conclude, an excellent victory for Montrose- and Forfar are really, really dreadful. There's no way that team's making the play-offs.

You can't appeal a red card for two bookings, only a straight red.

That almost sums it up to a tee. Montrose played no better or worse in all the games I have seen this season and it shows that there is nothing between most in this League. For once a refereeing decision which went against Montrose also benefited them when they scored the second from the free kick in question. That decision was deplorable and can cause almost riot like reactions from fans. Incredible.

Forfar played the second half with 4 men at the back behind Gemmil who looks no better that he has been all season with Sellars sitting in front spraying nice passes around but without cutting edge. With Forfar playing 4 at the back Montrose had numerical advantage at the other end by 8-6 and defended excellently and the not suprising result that they scored two on the break.

Not taking anything away from the win but nothing to get too excited about. A run of 4-5 decent results would be different however and show the progress is being made by Tweed if the players can gain confidence from last night.

As a neutral i thoroughly enjoyed the game, thought the sending off was very harsh. I haven't seen a team f Dick's that look so slow and lacking in the ability to get stuck in, two trademarks usually of his teams.

Well done to Montrose, a few days after we lost the first league gam at home they win theres and they got great support at the end of the game from the local punters. The moans of Brechin fans I listened to on Saturday after their first defeat in 15, I wonderhow many would have stuck y their side at Links Park.

Sums his current team up to a tee. No surprise at the result last night.
