Our own fault today. Played ok until they got there first then we resulted to long ball football which with the height of our strikers is complete and utter stupidity. Referee was shocking missed at least five hand balls gave one then Arbroath scored from the resulting free kick. Can't argue the sending off was a silly first booking then the second was a stupid tackle especialy for someone allready on a yellow card. p***k Tosh should have been sent off for his tackle on Mitchel.

cant argue that u threw it away. Should never throw away a2 goal lead, specially at home.

We were poor today, and only started looking half decent when we went 2 down.

Tade ran the show today, that boy is real class. Brilliant going forward and even does his fair share of defending too.

Dobbins tho is a W****R, gave us the 2 fingers when u were 2 up but dissapeared into his shell when were back on level terms. He is an absolute waste of space and u lot should just get shot of him.

It maybe was'nt the right thing to do by Dobbins but the man got dogs abuse from the kick off from yous lot. I don't know about anyone else but if I was on the park an was getting stick I'd probably do the same. Don't agree about the waste of space one of the better players on the park today.

It was pleasing to fight back from two goals down, but as has been commented on, we were really grim until that second Stranraer goal. Had one or two half chances to snatch the win as well, but it would be a bit churlish not to be satisfied with a point all things considered. For all the criticism he's come in for of late, I thought that Tosh made a real difference when he came on.

Agree about Tade, he was really impressive today.

I thought it was 2 pieces of fine skill from Tade and poor defending down the right that allowed the both the goals. Arbroath took as long to get going as that shite road to Stranraer! I would agree that there was only one team going to win the game yesterday and that was Arbroath. Stranraer looked like rabbits in headlights after the 2nd went in. Tosh certainly made a difference when he came on, he provided a target and linked well with the midfield. I believe 2 weeks be Scott will be fit and it cant come quick enough, it will be nice to see the fast flowing football that we witnessed in the first 3 games.

Dobbins certainly deserves dog's abuse the way he treated us and its erely accountability that ensures he's reminded regularly. He was once held in high esteem at Arbroath. After going out of our way to accommodate him and his Australian break, he rewards by joining Montrose. He's below average at this level.

Almost felt like a win yesterday, only away goals in the division. But a poor crowd

Tade was exceptional yesterday. Really showed what he could do creating two goals. Referee was a joke was not a bad tackle in the game and he booked about eleven players and sent Mitchell of for a 'soft' tackle IMO not worthy of a second yellow card. Should never of aloud arbroath to get back into the game. They were quite poor thought they had better games against us last year.

Crowd was a disgrace. dry.gif There will be no Stranraer FC if this is to continue.simple as.

We had the PR window when news of our finances broke to make an appeal. We had a further opportunity when initial statements were made about changing legal status. As it was, the club didn't say a word except in "members only" meetings (our own website still hasn't carried any official word) and as such the town thinks there's something to hide. Which, in all likelihood, there is. It may not be malicious activity, but there's been some very bad decisions taken with no concern over comeback on those who made them.

It is now a grave concern that when shares eventually do become available that very few will buy them - quite a few people have sussed that we'd be merely paying for the mistakes of others - and we will be well and truly goosed.

Wouldnt disagree with anything you've said there. Getting more worried for the future of the club by the day. Time to start praying to the big man upstairs.

Absolute shite ! Memebers(of which you are one) have a right to know what is going on before it goes to press.All members that did not make the meeting have been informed by letter prior to it going to the Free Press tonight (WED).There is no doubt some "very bad" decisions have been made .Decisions easy to make when it is not your own money.! If it were not for the group of fans that decided action was needed TWO YEARS ago we probably would not have a club as such today.A lot of people are putting in a lot of work now to SAVE the club .Comments you have reserved primarily for the Management team have now reverted to the committe in charge . Lets remind ourselves who the committe was over the last TEN years when the majority of this debt was built up. And remind ourselves of the promises made at the last meeting as to address why the debt occurred.The truth will out. sad.gif
