2nd attempt at this fixture after the windy conditions forced the original fixture to be abandoned on Boxing day.Stirling are coming off a heavy defeat at Airdrie while we had the Saturday off.

Fairly confident of the Lichties getting the 3 points and closing the gap on Cowden to 2 points.

Is Brian Allison suspended after being sent off on Saturday? I remember him looking a decent player when he was on loan from Falkirk a couple of seasons ago and him missing will surely be a massive blow for Albion.

A reminder aswell that entry to the game is FREE to all fans. Hope we get a decent turn out

Yes.

Looking forward to this one, hope everyone gets the message around that it's free entry and the gate increases!

Same team as last Saturday! Hopefully it does the job.

It will do the job if we insist in playing players out of position . McCulloch should be dropped along with McCleish and Bonar , these three were beyond shocking against Airdrie . It will be interesting to see if our manager has the bottle to drop McCulloch though . Personally I doubt it .Allison will miss out , he doesnt look fit anyway ,welcome back the beast .

Who is your manager?

Travolta, you do realise that some players can play in a number of positions? If any not in their favourite slots, this will be out of neccessity.

For what it's worth I thought McCulloch didn't play that badly and until Fagan returns I would keep him at LB

edit: in fact I'd make him captain.

2 of the three were hooked at half time and deservedly so . McCulloch was shockingly bad, he is overweight slow and unfit, and simply cant run . Captain ? really ? I honestly think hes a 3rd division player .

you think Bonar and McLeish were playing out of position? Bonar is a right sided striker an McLeish is a midfielder.

Bonar started on the right wing , He needs to man up a bit and stop letting himself get kicked out the game and show a bit more heart , he could learn from young Davo .McCleish was trying to play as the attacking mid , it wasnt for him , the guy was all over the place . Half the team were really poor in the first 20 mins and the game was gone .

Sounds like we should win by a landslide then

[Ray Vaughn]

If Arbroath fon't win by at least four then they've nae chance of going up.

Stirling are going down. We looked like a team going down on Saturday and are back to the same gutless shite we had to suffer under Jocky Scott.

On the Brightside:
Peterhead, Elgin, Berwick, maybe Annan are great trips and I personally like Stranraer too.
Guess I better get a new liver for Christmas 2012!

[1320Lichtie]

Ray Vaughn think your slightly exaggerating! We should probably pick up the points but at the end of the day it's 11 v 11 and anything can happen, have to say I'm hopeful though. Would leave us 2 points behind Cowden before Saturdays fixture. Excited.

I agree we could well go down ,if we continue to play some of these so called " experienced" duds.

So, free entry for all? Great stuff.

Free entry - great gesture by the club.

[lichtie23]

Hope we get a decent turnout and put on a good display. Then hopefully some of the non regulars will come to Gayf more ofton

[Only coo in the village]

Stirling will get pumped. Under normal circumstances that would be extremely amusing :-(

abroath -1 is 5/4 with william hill or -2 is 3/1,
are any of these worth a bet?

[lichtie23]

Yes

[magee84]

I remember going up to arbroath aug1990, beach party, everyone steaming, joe reid scoring late on in a 3-2 win, running on to pitch at the goal etc.
Then you look at where the club are now, no characters in the team, no spark about the club
Still 6-0 to the binos tonight i reckon!!!!

[Neilly]

That wiz a good wan ya pure mad Tim ye!

[1320Lichtie]

Looking forward to this. Times KO?
