    And the rest. On top of all of that, there will be no tv money from the Friday night games, reduced catering sales, reduced merch sales (will the shop stay open?), reduced sponsorships etc even down to local pubs, restaurants and businesses seeing a hit on takings due to reduced number of visiting fans.

    We will maybe be able to be run in a similar fashion as now for perhaps a season but unless we go straight back up then things will need to be massively scale back in future.

    We don't get any TV money for Friday night games. It all goes into the pot and the Premiership teams get more of this than we do. 

    It should be easier for us to adjust our budget than some other clubs but the playing side is definitely a priority over social media or analysts.

    Hamilton second for driver of the day 😂

    Magnussen in third is a disgrace too

    That's crazy considering he only started 8th and finished 9th.

  3. Obviously the 21/22 season had some great memories in this Championship run but some of the best were from our first season including a fantastic defensive display against Utd at Tannadice. Hopefully we can repeat that next week. Also that 3 0 win against Inverness and that Scott Stewart goal! 

  4. Ricky is an absolute legend for this club. 11 seasons with total commitment. I hope people manage to go to his testimonial dinner as he deserves as much recognition as Bobby got. Great centre half partnerships with Hamilton in the League 2 winning season and then forming one of the best partnerships I've seen with TOB. Played every game in our League 1 winning campaign and definitely one of my all time favourite players.

  5. To be honest we don't normally play well when it's windy. Best performance I've seen us in recent years was against Dunfermline when we took advantage. Best performance I've seen at Gayfield when windy was Queens Park last season when they passed it on the deck and completely bossed the game. You can't complain about the wind if you willingly kick high balls into it all the time.

    Big Jim at the wheel.....Car crash! 😔

    Such a difficult task to take on. Injuries forced us into the market. Ireland season finishing has led us to picking up available players from that league but they are just not good enough.

    I liked what I saw when McIntyre took over but we never have. A decent back 4 fit and that has killed us this season.

    Just watched the highlights from Arbroath and for the umpteenth time this season there are key moments / talking points from the game not included and it’s dire. 
    ICT are going mad about a Mackinnon tackle - not in the highlights.                      Foul on Hammy that meant he had to go off and had the crowd going mental - not in the highlights. 
    potential foul on Ryan Dow on the edge of the penalty area and would have seen their boy sent off - not included. As well as the chance right at the end. I just find it a bit annoying that these details you look forward to seeing again aren’t included because of a reason I’m not so sure of?
    Also surely you have no idea what’s going on if you’re listening to the audio commentary?! It’s so poor and surely the club know it. Don't like to criticise people giving their time to the club but it is really really hard to listen to that highlight commentary (or actual commentary if it’s a midweek stream) 

    It's shocking the amount of key moments missed from the highlights with no real reason for it.

    I think it’s definitely been exaggerated and blown out of proportion - is it being said because whoever was shouting maybe spat by accident when they were shouting?
     

    There is absolutely no way someone has tried to spit on him that is crazy talk and would’ve absolutely been seen by other supporters. 

    Big difference between being hit by a bit of spit and being spat on. If it was the latter it would have been acted upon. 

  9. You obviously want to do as well as possible but I totally get it. The main thing I wasn't keen on about the Always Arbroath scheme was the aim to compete to sign players that want to be full time. We should be aiming for the better part time players as that is what can give us a bit of an advantage mainly. The kind of full time players we have attracted have been a poor standard mainly and are not going to jump us ahead of the other teams around us. 

    Picking up players like Jason Thompson that are still capable of playing full time but looking to set themselves up for the future by going part time are better aims than trying to be in the market for full time players QOTS, Cove, Hamilton will be competition for imo.
