Kwaka Mal Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Arbroath manager Dick Campbell has been handed a seven-game ban for storming on to the pitch to confront the referee during a 4-1 loss to Ayr last month.

We tried to sign some top full time Premier League Players but they didn't want to come to Forfar. We did however get a couple of kids on loan from Dingwall. The more you learn of the David Cox situation the stranger it becomes. Forfar - Cowdenbeath ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not Forfar to Cowdenbeath It’s Jim Weir to Gary Bollan, who he obviously really enjoys playing under It’s not strange at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have any idea about this kind of detail/info before the advent of Club websites/social media and FAFCTV, you'd have to read about 3 match programmes, scrape together some interviews from the courier and get told some stuff from someone down the pub who knows someone, who knows the groundsman's auntie. Well done all at FAFC I found it rather monotonous tbh, not many will stay awake for over 30 minutes of riveting viewing. Jim does seem to go on about the opposition too much, why not just concentrate on playing our best side in their best positions and stop fretting about the full time- higher level players. 17 pts out of 48 isn't great so far, we failed to get a bounce from Bollan and the games are running out for JW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytoons Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 You could be right. "Could" be? I mentioned previously, the fact that Bain, Coxy's mate, stayed speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtiekev Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Agree getting mcCallum And travis signed up is good business but Very surprised how happy Forfar are with Munro signing on, genuinely think there’s a lot better out there, started ok at arbroath and is dangerous at corners but his distribution is terrible and very prone to a mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a breath of fresh air after Dunlop and Rodgers but soon became evident he'd have a daft 10 mins during most games. Travis and TOB were a better pairing but we're not in that position any more. Fortunately, since he's come back, he's displayed his best traits and kept any calamities hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gotten us off bottom spot and also good to see him given youth a chance, especially players coming through our own youth team. I think if we stay up this season, with the good core of players signed up for next season we could have some optimism for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbsouth Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The whole point of replacing a manager is to make things better, now having laptop formations etc may be a good thing in the modern game but it still doesn't guarantee points, i have said before that our lack of goal threat will be our downfall this season. 2 huge games coming up before the big 3.....our season will be decided very shortly.
