Hursty

Aye. That team today all of a sudden losing Dowds Chalmers and Senga instantly goes from playoff contenders to how many points off 9th are we

Astonishing he's not using him here.

Just couldn't clear. Time to turn the telly off now and check result later probably

Was just gonna say the same - it's been a decent enough game and we've played pretty well.

I've a vague memory that might have been me

Hypothetically speaking, if Bullen was to leave tonight - who we fancying from this list? Bearing in mind they'd presumably be working to same backroom/recruitment scenario. Think O'Dea was mentioned before Bullen got it?

The last glimmer of hope has now gone

I'm still fuming my 22 fcuking quid to watch a 0-4 went on paying for that dug. 39 years old and possibly the most annoyed I've ever been at the club. Didn't take long to top paying 6 quid for my season ticket holding 7 year old to see the Falkirk game

Morton getting a point at Tannadice despite having to loan a couple of bench warmers out to free up funds to sign a right back, and Kirk Broadfoot/Jack Baird partnership at CB. Went 1 down and got a draw. We would have lost 5 or 6-0 there today.

Knowing that my £22 quid is used to pay for that shite rather than maybe helping a tiny bit towards the playing budget etc that I still naively convince myself as a justification to stump it up has made it a million times easier to make other plans for the day of the Raith game.

We lost 0-5 to Partick in May with Josh Mullin playing 90 mins, and only lost 0-4 today with Jamie Murphy playing 90 mins so it's quite clear that we have actually not only replaced him but signed a much better replacement

First time I've heard that song and it was being sung from both ends of the ground. Will be stuck in my head for a month now

Takes a wage away too. If you play one up front and have both Graham and Adeloye (sorry haters) then you have two of the best centre forwards in the league competing for a place. Why pay another ?

Don't really care tbh as long as they both play well for us. If they are both rotten for us and their parent clubs dont rate them then it's poor from all 3 clubs for having signed them for this level in the first place.

It's a reasonable goals return at this level compared to starts, and I suppose realistically we were never signing anyone at this stage who would be good enough to have kept Brian Graham out the team over the last 18 months

Not going to lie, I'm finding the club break between internationals absolutely fucking brutal these days

Jakubiak signing for Dunfermline so that's another potential CF off the list

Which is why folk are angry, as we finished 2nd in the Championship last season. Ayr fans being raging isn't instantly something for Falkirk (or Arbroath last week) fans to somehow take offence to. Didn't even look like Falkirks strongest starting XI

This pretty much - we've played 3 of what I'd imagine will be the rest of the bottom 4 in Arbroath Morton and ICT - lost 2 and had a pretty jammy win in 1. Real danger of being cut adrift assuming we lose the next 3

This team would get relegated from League 1. That's absolutely indefensible that.

Somehow need 2 points from next 32 to at least be better than Brechin were Seems a massive ask

Randomly make a centre half sub and concede a shambolic goal from a corner. Lovely We are down. It's not even going to be close

1 - agreed - train and bus situation is absolutely nothing to do with Arbroath and wasn't suggesting it was in the slightest - just seemed a crazy price 2 - weak or not, its just stating the truth. Getting to a certain age where folks finance / family time etc means getting the numbers together for an away game makes it a pretty rare occasion, so you end up picking the one that offers a better experience. The likes of today everyone knows Ayr would end up having enough to open a bit of terracing so why not just have a wee bit set aside. It's not a criticism of Arbroath as such, just a general point - Ayr do it too when we advertise to away teams there's no ticket sales available at the ground for away fans etc when that's not actually true, makes no sense to me. Anyway on to the game - score draw I reckon although I'm a bit worried how we would react if we go a goal down

That's exactly it for me. It's not as if the signings have been all bad - from the squad that played Partick we've replaced O Connor, JML and Ashford (edit - obv forgot Mullin) with Chalmers, Murphy and McGeady. That's an incredible upgrade. Sadly one is already injured. And we still have the same full backs

It's putting away fans off travelling by making it as awkward and shite as possible which for some reason seems to be the message across about 90% of Scottish football these days which is absolutely bizarre. Edit - group of 4 or 5 of us have done Arbroath away 3 times now, day out on the train and a ground along the same lines of Somerset, decent pubs etc. Brilliant. Tomorrow? 60 quid a head for the train (including replacement buses). Sacked the idea at that point. But to then pay 22 quid to buy a ticket to have to get in for half 2 or something to sit together - nah.
