The last I heard it had been agreed that Woody would be staying to the end of the season but the formalities had still to be completed. Hopefully they will be by Wed.

Have to say I haven't been impressed by Thomson this season but believe he had a good game at Dumbarton and JW decided to stick with him yesterday based on that performance. Was told that he did well again yesterday.

To give JW his due, if someone comes into the side in place of a regular and performs well, he does seem to stick with him and the regular has to win his place back - hence Dobs on the bench yesterday. Suspect (slightly worryingly based on early season performances) that the big man could start in midfield v Arbroath assuming Andreoni no longer with us and Scooby still injured.

Thomson did play well yesterday. When Dobbins came on he went into central midfield and looked like a weak link, hope Weir doesn't play him there on Wednesday.

Cheap drink beforehand, great pies during and a 3-0 scoreline, and the highlight of the day? Links Park Dynamo telling everyone that he had 3-1 at the bookies @14-1 when the Shire were awarded their pen and the eruption of laughter when Peat saved it!

Dobbins was saying befroehand he still wasn't 100% after illness but would be ready for the game against the scum (his words). Thomson did well yesterday putting in a fair few good tackles & breaking up what little East Striling offered going forward.

To compound the afternoon & keep the bookies smiling Man U scuppered my coupon for over a 100 notes aswell.

crap ref, dont know where they picked him up from. I've never been so angry and swore so much at a game in my life. Montrose deserved that win by all accounts. Dont know what happened to our players we started off with this season, but I think they need to dig them out again.

must admit though, highlight of the game was the strecher, had us in stitches!!!!

3rd bottom and once Dumbarton improve (which they surely will) and with Forfar picking up points, will another wooden spoon for the Shire spell the end for GW? Especially with the money paid to tempt some players into joining?

Big game on Wednesday now. Savage out is a huge blow as that was basicaly one goal to the Shire already.

are we bothered Dubya?
we may get beat but we will still out drink you any day you pansies.
do the walk then talk the talk.
9pts clear yer having a laugh and were still not paying as much as you did when the bottle bank at north broomage social club was full every week.

I'm resigned to 9th or bottom again.

Anything else is a fucking bonus at the moment.

Have to say that defensively the Shire were the worst i've seen this season and the keeper didn't inspire confidence i know it's only one game but it doesn't look good.
As for Savage, if he was a Montrose player i'd be shouting for his head, he's scored a few goals this season but he was a sending off waiting to happen on Saturday and will now be missing for a couple of games which will be a big loss.
The other players reactions to the sending off said a lot, the fact that there wasn't one, apart from the No10 who spoke to Savage and he responded by jarring a finger in his direction and having a bit of a growl and a slaver before walking off.
