1320Lichtie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I know this is dragging up a week-old thread, but I have been off-line for a bit. Why was he being a dick? Why was he in the terracing? Did fans really make the journey to see him? I would suggest that the reason he was in the terracing was because he wanted to get a view and perspective on his players, having missed the previous 3 games. Remember, he tends to sit in the stand 1st half at Gayfield then movevto the touchline for the 2nd. So I suspect that he was doing the job that he is paid to do, and was watching and assessing the squad. If he was constantly taliking to fans, shaking hands, posing for selfies, then he is hardly doing his job. FFS!. Leave the man alone. He led our club to the league championship just over 2 months ago so he must be doing something right. Why do some fans always feel the need to get on his back all the time? Well this is just it Also seen a photo of the Tap Boi posing with fans, having a laugh tooThe man is a legend x In Forfar last night at a race night and somebody had named all his horses after him [emoji1] brilliant 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because some of our fans simply don't and never will like him regardless of what success he brings to Arbroath. As for yesterday what a walk in the park that was haven't felt so at ease at an Arbroath game for a long time, we looked excellent albeit against a honking Montrose team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relichtie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Highlights are up. Great football at times. The move between Hester and Denholm for number 3 is superb. Good day for us lichties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiekev Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Things go well over the next few seasons do we name the stand after Dick?? Squad looks great tho, competition all through midfield and forwards, plenty cover at fullbacks and 3 absolutely solid centre backs, id be more than happy to start season with what we got and keep loans available until they are needed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Montrose were not great but we were an absolute joy to watch at times and that was without a few key players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Just watched the highlights, lots of good performances, Omar played really well would've been some goal the one that hit the post just after the third. Kane was brilliant in both the 3rd and 4th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Thought Kader played really well second half and was unlucky not to get a goal. Certainly above Skelly in the pecking order just now, he's been awful so far. Wouldn't be surprised to see Malin go, he's decent as CM cover but we don't really need any cover there, and not good enough at RB imo. Hester did get 2 assists but for me the basics just aren't there, so frustrating watching the ball bounce off his shins and knees every time he tries to take a touch or make a pass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Housecaptain Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Do not know how to do twitter, so using this form to post my tribute to Angus Nairn,knew him from the age of 5 when in the years after WW2 he came round the doors with his lending library.I still remember my father took out Gone With Wind. Later in 1958 when he ran the record roundabout in the Marine Ballroom on a Monday night, he announced that A.F.C. had been promoted as Berwick had been beaten by Dumbarton and could not be caught by them.[I think I have got that right] Great cheering followed. Angus it was a pleasure to know you,R.I.P. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lichtie78 Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Shins and knees every time?? Give the boy a break. I think he's a real asset. His lack of technical ability holds us back IMO. Tuesday night against Alloa was a prime example. Up against 2 defenders on the break with the chance to see the game out, but the ball pings off his shin and goes 30 yards through to the keeper. Against Aberdeen he did brilliantly to beat Considine and Reynolds for pace, then fluffed a relatively straight forward pass to Doris who was through on goal. I'd love him to do well, but if his ability hasn't come on that much in 2 seasons when is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big lichtie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 hester is now 22 not a laddie anymore. at alloa on tuesday dc was going mental at him for losing the ball getting in the right positions ect.so in the football world 22 is an age when you have to establish yourself as a player . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 A couple of bad passes and he's getting slated [emoji1] He done very well against Aberdeen, scored, made the keeper make a top save and gave a very good Aberdeen defence a lot of trouble yet that one poor pass gets picked up on Yesterday he had 2 real flashes of quality that got us our 3rd and 4th goals yet a bad pass against Alloa gets brought up for whatever reason Other players do these things too by the way but when you've not got an agenda against them you don't see them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a useful player to have in the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
