Anyone know if tonight’s game is being streamed?

Thought the same during the match. I would’ve had Gaston subbed on as Boruc clearly isn’t good enough

Good post which sums most things up. Not adding anything about on pitch yesterday but really struggle to see why we have all that social media presence but supporters are not aware that players are not playing (or even in the squad) until the team lines appear online about 2.30pm or you notice that players are missing from the warm up. Basic first team news or player info appears very rarely and most of any information given out appears in the post match manager and player interviews. Re the big talking point of the day…..the tannoy guy. Please, please turn the volume down and don’t shout into the microphone. Does anyone one know why we have taken to playing a death metal type ‘song’ (at max volume) when the teams come out?

Never believe what Dick Campbell says in TV (or after match interviews). Always exaggerated and half truths. Had great times but should have went after last season and I’m happy the board accepted his resignation.

For reasons that are unknown to me it seems the club have obviously stopped giving out any info or updates re the players or team in general and we are now left completely in the dark and only get snippets in the post match interviews or sometimes in the local press. Their social media is just full of birthdays, holiday pics, shop sales and ticket info. I don’t know why the club have shut down and stopped communicating team info but with no game for three weeks, perhaps they will be gracious enough to let the support know the what the state of the team is?

Some St Johnstone supporters have announced that they will not be going to Rangers this weekend due to the price of tickets. Dundee are charging Arbroath supporters an extortionate £24 on Friday night when the match is live on the BBC. Should Arbroath supporters just stay at home, watch the game on TV and keep the cash?

Great win for Stirling Uni boys (average age 20) against a team in 4th spot. Pitch was in terrible condition, some attention & watering/rain urgently required.

Done

Done.

Done

The offside shout is not the cross, it’s seconds before that on the edge of the box when the Raith No.9, who appears to be in an offside position, interferes with play by blocking O’Brien from going towards the other Raith forward who is running with the ball. This block may have been unintentional by the No.9 but he’s still in an offside position. Gaston sees it and briefly throws his arm up.

Well done Arbroath great win. Better team for vast majority of that game, Raith we’re disappointing and never offered much at all. Can’t wait for McGlynn’s interview, should be a hoot, Thought boys did very well and Colin Hamilton and Nicky Low were superb. Well done the part timers!

Tummilty was onside when he tapped it in but that’s not the where the offside is. Prior to that a raith forward who is in an offside position bumps into O’Brien and Williamson and therefore interferes with play and is clearly offside then. Shite officials yet again.

Arbroath very poor, Ayr not any better but managed to hold on to the own goal. Stream wasn’t good, camera work and commentators were dire, particularly the old git. Never worth £15.

How is the stream with others? Mine is clear enough but jittery then slow motion then normal then slow motion then jittery etc etc. Watching on a new laptop with 500 meg internet connection.

Stream is very poor, not sharp and jumping. Looks like it’s being filmed with a five year old mobile phone.

Brilliant and well deserved result for Arbroath. Maybe next home game the co-commentator (he was clueless) won’t give the Killie goalie the man of the match award when there was still about 13 or 14 minutes of the game to go. His early prediction of Arbroath tiring in the last 20 mins was also way off. Thought the stream was okay, not as clear as many others, but whoever was working the replay button needs it taken from him.

Can anyone tell me when ParsTV allow viewers to watch the matches again once the live broadcast is over? Arbroath allow folks to view repeat of their games right after the match and live interviews are over but I saw on ParsTV faq that they release the game about midnight. Is this still the case? Ta

This game and other matches at this stage of the competition not being allowed to live stream according to some posters on other match threads.

Only really got to see the second half due to the terrible stream, but from what I did see Arbroath played well. They never had many chances and were hanging on once or twice but emerged with what may be a precious point. However it was another home game ruined by the two ‘commentators’. I appreciate they are amateurs and have no training or experience , but they are shockingly bad. Their poor commentary has been mentioned on national TV but I’m assuming they’ll not give up now as they wouldn’t get into future games. Have to decide whether to listen to the TV on mute or with the volume on to try and get some of the atmosphere but that’s when you’re forced to listen to the inane crap that they spout. Did anyone understand what the reason for the poor stream was? They tried to read out a club statement with an explanation but they messed that up too. Highlight quote of the day was Fermer telling a player “to pay attention to what was happening on the pitch”. Could only wish they did the same.

Embarrassingly bad commentary yet again. Talking inane crap throughout the game, ignoring the football, screaming down the microphone like idiots etc etc. They should listen again to the lady at Ayr that was commenting last week, she was first class. Commentary apart, Arbroath’s coverage is usually good but obviously a few gremlins this afternoon. Would be good if we could get an option to get drop the commentary and listen to the players/pitch side only. AFC, please try and do something about the commentary.

Anyone know if Season Ticket holders still get a discount at the club shop? Couple of years since I got the last top but sure price was reduced to ST holders.
