About a tenner and pack of cigs.
Think you’re enjoying this a bit too much, now pop back to you’re own league and revel in the terrific result you had today

It’s not the defence, mate. It’s the lack of a midfield.
Defence would be helped by a b*****d in CM

First quarter of the season done (albeit only played 7 of the teams). 12 points and fifth. Job done.
Take 12 points every quarter, then we’ll be fine, or 10 wins between now and the end of the season, will probably be enough

I wish I had the optimism of the Arbroath fans who were still there at 5-0 after 86 and binned it agyer the 6th
Would suggest, if you’ve just paid 25quid, no point in not getting you’re monies worth

Has there been any word on lyon? Is he injured/struggling for fitness? Thought we would have at least seen him come on as a sub by now.
Am no for blooding players, just for the sake of it, am sure his time will come

Loads of Dundee underwater, Brechin is the new Atlantis and red weather warning extended until tomorrow midnight.
Game needs called off and called off early
Tbf, I went to work today, near Forfar, I didn’t stay long, but there has been much more rain, than there has been in Arbroath, but you’re right, game needs to be called, today

Jeezo.
Three pages of an Arbroath - Rovers thread and not one mention about Dirty Dick's hatchet men, Lewis Vaughan's chocolate knees or Hammy winning the league at Stark's Park.
What's going on boys?
Or Fat Peaky Blinder, refreshing don’t you agree?

Just seen that one of our pre-season trialists, Dayshonne Golding (aka man bun) has ended up in the highland league on loan from Cove.
It’s about his level

In the season 74/75, prior to the first incarnation of a premier league, out of a league of 18, top flight clubs, by my reckoning half were part time, think only 3 remain part time, Dumbarton, Clyde and us

Arbroath going full time is pie in the sky, will never happen.
I have watched Arbroath for 50+ years, in that time, many clubs have gone from part-time to full-time, very few, if any, are further forward, in fact the only thing they are, is financially worse off, this, I hope, is what our board see

Alloa with their rich Tory? Kelty? Raith? Inverness for years? Morton under Rae? Many clubs have someone who is chucking in a bit of money.
Kelty not any longer, is their benefactor not now involved at Raith, who themselves until the takeover according to football finance expert Kieran Maguire were insolvent, not sure the Morton fans look back at Rae’s time in charge as good times, Inverness probably benefited greatly from being in the top flight, even earning half a million from getting to the cup final, they haven’t got a pot to piss in, as for Alloa’s rich Tory, if he is as rich as you think, why are they not where we are?
so, I stick to my point about Cove, but in you’re psychotic desire to be proven right, am sure you will come back with more

Rich benefactors.
That really only applies to Cove

Very interested to see what happens with him anyway - it is a weird one because you can see he’s got quality on the ball but off the ball just a man down - and he can’t have been like that for his entire career either so not sure if that part of his game is just gone completely never to return or if he can get that back
We all got caught up in the signing of Allan, but it became obvious very quickly, he was a luxury we couldn’t carry
48 minutes ago, Tattie36 said:Not sure I agree. I think being part-time is definitely a choice that the board have made.
If Cove, Accies, Ayr, Morton, Raith, ICT and Airdrie can be full-time then I can’t see why we couldn’t be.
It couldn’t happen over night obviously but there’s no reason, other than choice, why we couldn’t transition to full-time if we wanted to.
That’s not to say that I think we should but I think we could. It’s also a question that has to be asked and looked at seriously if we continue… or want to continue at this level… or higher.
tbf, it bewilders me, how some clubs survive, full time on, poor crowds

Players don’t work out at certain teams it happens all the time and with how we played last year and the position we found ourselves in it was a difficult situation to come into and ultimately his goal was huge in keeping us up….
Keeping tabs on Allan every now and again and noticed he has found himself on the subs bench again, unused sub in Larne last game
If Allan’s no getting a game for Larne, he wasn’t getting a game for us, a very expensive mistake

my dog will turn nose up at even going out the back on a day like this and will piss on the bathroom mat when my backs turned. Happy days.

Think all the extra attention this fixture will now get will give Arbroath a sneaky wee boost to be honest and if we were to get an early goal and put some pressure on Caley it could be a good day. Fingers crossed
Surely Caley will bring a few more than usual

Quick question, is our pitch small?

Yeah it's an obvious link due to him being an ex player. I think it'll be O'Dea still.
Am no sure on this, why would O’Dea, take this job, if he doesn’t keep you up, he’ll be tarnished from the off

Thanks for your kind comments! I was just about to post the link here.
Great to speak to some of the Lichties and thanks for being welcoming and having a laugh!
Looking forward to welcoming you to Broomfield!
It was a good watch

Surely we’re in a better position, that he’s even a contender, not for me
