No such place now friend, its the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium. Ceased to be New many moons ago. Make yourself known at reception & if you are there in plenty of time, then we'll show you around

Oh well, what do I know!

If the red card is overturned I would be very surprised. Al the ref needs to say is that in his opinion it was an over aggressive challenge & the appeal is dead in the water. Thats their usual get out

Before our highlights are put on line I would to apologise for the complete lack of control exhibited by our commentator at Jack Healy’s equalising goal. Lack of professionalism & impartiality in abundance. Strong words have been given & received but not a jot care I!!!! Tripped over the mic cable & narrowly avoided taking a heidy doon the stairs but it was worth it!

And I must say, this week's is a belter, all 36 pages of it! Also available at reception for the early arrivers.

We don't have cash turnstiles so all entrants must have tickets, been that way all season

With regards to the stream yesterday, we have now streamed more 70 games home & away live over the last 2 years & on the whole we have had very few complaints, certainly far fewer than clubs who use pixalot have by all accounts. There were no issues with the stream quality yesterday so I suggest that those who struggled with the quality check their own broadband. We will however review the footage from yesterday & if we need to make some adjustments on how we film, we will! One thing I will make no apology for though is our commentator Daniel. He brings an excitement to what sometimes can be a dog of a game & if you don’t like it then mute him. He has been brilliant for us over the last 4 or 5 years & hope he still wants to do it for the next 5 years. I enquired if Dumbarton’s commentator Fraser would like to do co-comms yesterday but he had other plans for the game. Hopefully we will be able to do this later in the season. There is a lot of time, expense & effort goes into our media output & I would thank all who assist with it.

We did to Peterhead what Alloa & Montrose did to us already this season! Onwards & upwards

EFtv will not be filming tomorrow night. We have not been allowed any camera access by Arbroath. Kelty have given us access for Saturday so full highlights package will be available.

When he was asked why he played 5 minutes added time. Never mentioned time wasting or any other reason, purely substitutions!

Ref said he was playing 5 mins added time as there were 10 substitutions @ 30 seconds each BUT Partick made 3 at ht so no added time there, EF made 3 on 63 mins + 73 & 77 mins PT also made a sub on 63 mins with the EF triple one & one on 69 mins that equates to 2 & half mins i like this ref but last night he just got it wrong! Fair play to PT they kept going right to the end & on the balance of play probably deserved an equaliser but that was gut wrenching!

Wrap up warm even if you're watching the live stream as it is absolutely baltic here and blowing a hoolie!

Thank you for your kind comments. Had a pretty shit Saturday night mulling over what had gone wrong in the afternoon so it is very heartening to receive your support.

Calmed down a bit now so reflecting on me the best zip-zip games you’ll see. Could have have lost it & probably would have had Brett not saved the penalty. No doubt the big decisions went against EF today. It was a penalty but no more so than our claim & in truth the last 15 mins were a joke in terms of big decisions. The decision not to apply advantage for the chalked off goal ranks as one of the worst we have been on the end of this season. Still on to the Super Mo on Tuesday

Sincere apologies from everyone at EFtv for today. As I said at half time our website is hosted by GoDaddy & their server just didn’t work. We could not even access the website to let people know what was happening so were relying on those who emailed us passing on information. It might not look like it to the end user but the issues we have had have not been the same twice, it is something different every week & truth is it’s wearing us all down! An hour on the phone to godaddy even as the game was going on & they couldn’t fix it. The really disappointing thing was that the stream worked perfectly today but some couldn’t access it. It looks like Sunday will be spent on the phone to godaddy & I just hope we can get this fixed before Thursday night.

League rules state that we cannot make any new signings after 31st March so we are covering ourselves in case one of our keepers gets injured. Just careful management if you ask me!

Nope, no training either. Full shut down

Sorry to interject here but I thought it would interesting to let you know about the artificial pitch at Bayview. This is now our 3rd year (4th season) we have been playing on it & the vast majority of user say it is as good as it was when first laid. This is not by luck though, our pitch actually gets more maintenance than our much vaunted grass pitch, around 9-10 hours per week but even with that we would be looking to have the surface relaid in 6-8 years. Synthetic pitches will struggle to pass SFA testing after that time scale. Without that maintenance our game yesterday would have been in doubt as our grounds man did his usual Friday work (yes on New Year’s Day) and scattered the prefrost salt. That plus the fact that we had a junior game kick off at 10am meant that any frost was broken up ahead of our game. We are similar to Montrose in that it is a local charity who maintain & lease the pitch so that financial burden has been taken away from the club. The whole project though would not have been possible without a £350k grant from Fife Council & £50k from the SFP. We were also fortunate that our drainage system was ideal to use with synthetic pitches so a lot of money was saved there. Meandering a bit now but getting a good synthetic pitch is major financial investment for any football club.

Unfortunately David McCracken did his post match interview with the press as we were filming our own interviews so didn’t get him. I see from your match report that we cheated yesterday by not only having Brett Long in goals but also the Montrose keeper too!

I can only assume you’re making reference to the cult American tv Programme as I’ve never seen it!

You should try sitting next him! I’ll never ask anyone to curb their enthusiasm

That is completely correct, saw Darren Young explaining that to Ian Murray at the time
