  1. Alright guys. As mentioned Annan are experiencing problems with the payment system for the stream. 
    They are using the same system that worked fine through Covid but as streaming hasn’t been allowed lately it’s been a while since last used. 
    Everything has been set up exactly the same but there are some issues. 
    The guys are on the case so hopefully it’s resolved soon 
     

  2. Yes very excited about lifting the title this season. Ha joking.
    Very excited about the season ahead and many do have high hopes, but, it’s very easy for players to raise their game when playing higher opposition so today is the real test and there’s a long season to go.
    Biggest positive for me is the fact we kept the majority of last seasons squad together.
    Fingers crossed for a flying start today 🤞

  3. Literally Annan's to throw away. You'd think it would be doable given you've played your away games but then I noticed last season your away form was far better than your home. So it may not necessarily mean it's in the bag!

    We’ll probably get beat at home to Elgin [emoji85]
  4. Popped down as a neutral and was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining the match was. QOTS dominated for short spells at the start of each half but I'd say Annan were just about worth their win. Absolute 'whit's the goalie dain?' Stuff for one of the Annan goals which I hope is just ring rust from the keeper. I'll be taking in Annans trip to At Johnstone in a fortnight and hope it's a similarly interesting game.

    You better get a shift on,our trip to St Johnstone is on Tuesday night
  5. So you’ve no idea on budget after all ? Annan my friend is on the border of England and has huge potential for recruitment ? Annan in the years in the SPFL has not promoted one single local player to the senior team from youth ranks, a fact that every single past and present manager should be ashamed off ( system is wrong ) Anyway if you think Murphys record is acceptable ?

    Scott Norman, Harry Emerson and Russell Currie have all came through the youths and played first team football at Galabank in the SPFL, Under different managers as well!
    Top fact from you there well done [emoji1319]
  6. You’ve named two players ? Not from Annan. How many young lads have played in the Annan youth system since a league position was gained ? Don’t get personal, I’m only stating facts as opposed to judgment on your behalf . As you say none, and thats at best unacceptable ? 

    I didn’t say none, I said at least 3 that I can remember from youths to first team, can’t you remember them??? And that’s not including the clubs record appearance holder who I’m sure is local and played for Annan youths.
    This subject has nothing to do with the fact that we were so close to promotion this year (playing the best style of football we’ve ever played) but yet you think our manager is rotten!

    Clearly missed a few games over the years, I’ve witnessed at least 3 players from the youths playing in the first team since joining the SPFL.
  8. I’m happy to have a conversation with you. Can we please start with the budget ( can you please let us know as you say you’re aware of what it is ) Then we can move on to location with pleasure.

    I know that when we last played Forfar in the play offs under Chapman, Forfar had 5 times the budget of Annan. Not sure if that will of changed much.
  9. I’m not sure they were booing the penalty as such, though from the other end it did look like a dive, the highlights show it was a penalty and a stupid one to give away. Much of the booing was due to poor second half display and what many saw as inept tactics from the management. 
    I know the rules are the rules but I don’t think that third and fourth place teams should in the playoffs, it should just be second bottom against second top. Just my opinion and I understand the interest, excitement and revenue side of things.

    Sour grapes that, you only finished second as we didn’t fancy the midweek trip
