Brummo

Ho hum, back to the real business of securing League One survival. All the best to the Staggies in the next round.

With United appointing a new boss, does this mean Matty Smith is an option again or does the deadline mean it has to wait till January? Disappointed to hear Dick loaned out Kane Hester to Kilby, as he could have done a job for the Mo.

Sick as a parrot to end this round of games like we did. I know it isn't panic stations quite yet but surely, no one can be anything other than disappointed with the start we've made so far in League One. We came close to another point saved but "near deid n'er filled the kirkyaird". I really, really hope the Mo can put disappointing results like today's behind them and regain winning ways. Please...

Thanks for clarifying that it is player's team without manager. I thought for a horrible moment that we had lost ours!

What change of manager / lack of? Hope this is just a wind up!

Heard we were supposed to be signing a striker yesterday but nothing about it on here. Anyone know what has/hasn't happened?

Well last season you had Brechin to cushion you from that bottom experience!

Bottom of the league! Come on Montrose, get a grip. We waited all this time for promotion, please don't let us down. No return into the abyss of Scottish League Two for the Mo.

Mighty relieved to get that first league win. That helps after last Saturday's hiding. Wouldn't favour "the bunnet" over SP under any circumstances, so while humiliation isn't pleasant, we hopefully learn and move on, a game at a time.

Bloo Toon maybe would... or one of the "ambitious" bank-rolled Highland League outfits

The scene: some time in the early 1980's. The northbound platform of Montrose railway station. Opposite, a scruffy, ramshackle wood and brick station building with ticket office, waiting room, toilets, and other things I know nothing about. A dirty looking picket fence with slats missing, separating the platform from the drained mudflats of the basin behind it. The pungent, salty reek of the backies. Up ahead, the rusting cast-iron Hornby style bridge that offers up a reassuring clang with each footstep. Neglected planters with straggly once were roses "embellish" the dowdiness. Scanning south to Rossie Island, no train in sight, just a raw wind. All that's missing is dust and tumbleweed to complete the perfect picture of the happeningless wild east. Any more news on the transfer front?

Heard it on the gripevine.

Cammy Ballantyne to Dumbarton. Lewis Milne to Raith Rovers.

So glad you're keen to see us claim our second championship in a row!

Hmm, let me have a think: punted from P. & B. League Two forum for a couple of weeks vs punted from SPFL League Two for how long? I know which I wouldn't like more. Are we waiting till after the Champs League final as the end of the season? IMO - Don't see any good reason for delaying, beyond a team being promoted or the final outcome of the playoffs being decided.

Oh right, that explains its disappearance for a few days does it?

"Expletive" Jobsworth though!

Has the Montrose thread been punted? Can't see it here or on League 2 Forum. Hmm.

I know it isn't Get tae Friockheim day yet but are any other Mo fans finding that after all these years in League 2 (formerly known as 3), it feels weird and even slightly illicit to be looking at another forum. I've just added SL1 and removed SL2 from "My News" on the BBC News app. I really find it hard to believe that we've finally got out of jail a.k.a. SL2. It's certainly taking a while for it to sink in. Having tasted freedom, I certainly hope we can stay out of there.

Classic symptoms of tangingerphobia methinks!

We wouldn't say no to Boyler, if you'd still had him! ETA You did the same with Simon Murray, so a bit of pot calling kettle black tangerine there, (Although he wasn't a reject:just an ex-Arab.) We'd have him back too!

Feel for you guys. We've been so lucky. 22 years - and the closest we've come to relegation was a playoff! (tongue very much in cheek) Hope 2018/19 is a better season for you and yes, I will be rueing my feeble attempt at wit, if we're in the same boat as you this time next year.

Just googled John Rankin and from his Twitter pic. looks like he's channeling Clark Kent. Let's hope he reveals his other identity in a Mo shirt!

From your location, we could have our own derby. I have the equipment, following Santa's last visit to Toys'rus in Udon Thani. ETA would obviously require a paint job though!

Last time the Mo won the league, ('84-'85) I was in first year uni. at Aberdeen. A guy along the corridor in halls called Richard Clubb was an Albion fan. Richard, if you're still alive and reading this, all the best to your team in the playoffs. If any Albion fans know him, please pass on the message. Cheers. ETA - All this, assuming he has stayed loyal and not deserted to the glory-hunters.
