Pretty cold here today but imagine the game would have been on so hopefully same again tomorrow and a chance for the Loons to record three wins on the spin. Given their positions both teams will be desperate for three points.

From a Forfar point of view team line up will be interesting, hope we go same again as the 11 on Saturday deserve the chance IMO.

In paper today Nicky Low suggesting he is wanting to play in centre midfield rather then out wide, worked out Ok against Cowden but him and Hegarty are a bit too wee to play both there perhaps?

Hegarty had a smashing game on Saturday IMO . Him and byers in the middle and low and hilson out wide. But who knows

This is Dick Campbell we are talking about. It could be any line up! I agree the same 11 deserve another go. Credit where it is due, when I saw Saturday's line up I was ready to come on here and tear Dick a new one for his selection after a 3-0 defeat from Cowden, but we won and Low did well and Hegarty (who I would have been happy to see leaving the club before Saturday) had far and away his best game in a Forfar shirt. I even felt sorry for him that Low pipped him to MOTM.

Fingers crossed it doesn't get too cold tonight. Down here there is already a film of frost but I am 80 miles away.

Got home at 18.15 the night and the grass is still solid from the frost this morning also hasnt lifted off the pavement either.

Having seen the forecast as well we are likely to get rain the morrow but it could be snow.

Wouldnt be surprised if there were changes, Saturday took a bit out of the legs so the likes of Byers may get a start. Not sure how bad Mowat and Foxy's injuries are so they may come back into contention. Some realy good competition for places now.

[Bogs_Dollox]

Game on then?

[ravogd]

OS quotes club officials as "more than hopeful" the game will be on with more information at lunchtime.

[broon-loon]

Game on according to OS - No inspection needed, KO @ 7.30..........

[nofixedability]

Game On!

[Bogs_Dollox]

Come on boys make it 3 out of 3 wins!

[Bogs_Dollox]

Bloody foggy up here!

[StewartyMac]

Happy with that, a 2-2 draw after being 2-0 down. That would never have happened under the previous regime.

Bit disappointing to be 2-0 in the first place, but I'll take the point. Could be vital come the end of the season.

[Bogs_Dollox]

Yet again we fail to kill a team off. Story of our season.

[nofixedability]

Really should have been out of sight before that disasterous last 15 minutes. I doubt there are 2 worse teams than that in this league.

Totally. How on earth can Byers no get a run in that side? Once again didn't waste a single pass.

Two worse teams than the ones in 9th and 10th?

Hmmm, let's see...

We're up to the dizzying heights of 8th maman. Here Marc McCullochs fair put the beef on has he not? Thought he was your best player by a mile the night.

[StewartyMac]

It's aw muscle.

[Bogs_Dollox]

Was McCulloch te number 4? Good player I thought

[Murph]

Aye McCulloch did well tonight. Thought our keeper was motm and that lad Hilson looked a good player for your lot.

Stirling's goalkeeper was easily your MOTM his save just before half time to prevent an OG was an amazing bit of reflexes, I was sure it was a goal. We really shoudl have been further clear at half time.

Campbell blasting the defence again in the press today and no wonder 2-0 and cruising and once again an inability to clear lines cost us dearly at both goals. But there are some positives for Forfar:

1) Bradley took his goals excellently, he could well be the difference in us staying up if he can be that clinical.
2) As mentioned up to eighth in the table and still games in hand on a couple of teams.
3) If you have offered us 7 points out of 9 from Stenny away, Cowden at home and Stirling at home I am sure most Forfar fans would have taken it.

Need to try and build on unbeaten run at home to Dumbarton on Saturday.

[broon-loon]

The Stirling keeper had an amazing game. As mentioned the reflex save to keep out an OG was top drawer.

We played some decent stuff especially 1st half and Coyne looks as though he will get some much needed goals, but overall this must go down as 2 points lost against "relegation rivals".

We were lucky to see a game - if you pardon the pun........

[Cresto11]

Two points thrown away, we must have thrown more points away in the last 5 minutes of games than any other side in the country.

We missed far too many chances aswel, Byers and Templeman both had opportunities to put us 3 nil up and were wasteful. Hilson must have got to the byline about 10 times in the 2nd half and didnt deliver one good cross which isnt like him.

Credit to Stirling for fighting right to the end and credit to us for getting 7 points out of the last 9, thought Coyne was impressive and took his goals well and Nicky Low was our best player again, much better in the centre.

Some shocking refereeing again, stonewall penalty denied in the first half when Templeman was tripped and it was never a free kick in the build up to Stirlings 2nd goal.

[funkitineemert78]

totally sick.still cant believe we didnt win last nite.game should hav been dead and buried by half time. i feel we got too casual later on thinking we had the game won.mind u the stirling goalie pulled off a few top class saves. shocking desicion by mckendrick giving a foul in the lead up to the equalizer.
