Well f**k em. After todays display from that mob we should make him available for selection. They basically set out their team to kick the shite out of ours. Utter disgraceful tactics. ....Unfortunately there were no serious injuries on the Arbroath side......unless you can tell me differently? It's a derby game , kicking the shit is allowed.....stop the fucking whinging ffs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After todays display from that mob we should make him available for selection.They basically set out their team to kick the shite out of ours. Utter disgraceful tactics. You would think you guys were angels today. Typical derby with fouls from both teams. The one one over the top on Malone was possibly the worst of the game.

Loonytoons Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 You guys set out to make it a brawl,nearly worked but not quite. As I said earlier, two meaty tackles on DD early on, I can't remember another one.Moving on from the tit-for-tat, your guy on the right wing had a blinder today. Quigley had no idea what to do with him, a real handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todays game would have been considered a normal derby 10+ years ago. Nowadays the game is becoming more & more a non-contact sport, with the fans calling foul at good ol' meaty challenges not helping. If we didn't have tackling in a game what would there be to moan about, apart from the Ref of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Housecaptain Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Forfar started with the intention to kick Arbroath off the park and almost succeeded, thankfully in the end they got their just desserts. Last week they received 5 yellow cards and this week it was 4, this speaks for its self. Weir and Sellars should be ashamed of their tactics.

Foul count was the same btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokie_Bacon_crisps Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Meaty is not the word to describe tackles that can end careers. I've just watched it again from my GoPro footage and it is a Red Card all day long. He knew exactly what he was doing. It gets worse the more times you watch it. Physical approach, complaining to the referee , wasting time, running yards to hound officials, yellow cards for simulation. Maybe put that energy and effort and focus on playing football?

JoseMarooniho Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I’m very pleased for DC. His dismissal from his previous post must have been a blow but boy hasn’t he bounced back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Some positive changes today from Dick also, something he gets stick for so should also be praised when it works. With Doris, Skelly, Swankie and Omar all missing we still had plenty of attacking options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
