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.

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.

Minus 26 Goal Difference. Defence used to be out strong point. This season can't end quick enough.

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.

Worth it just to hear Carrgher greeting.

Was it actually a foul for the free kick in the first place?

TOB injured again?

Need to just take care of our own results and see where that leaves us.

You would think they would know the SPL hasn't existed for quite a while now.

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.

I think they need to implement a rule that all bodywork parts require painting otherwise we're going to end up with a bunch of mainly bare carbon fibre cars running around.

Hamilton's time at Ferrari could easily end like Prost's, sacked for being over critical and forced to take a year out or retire.

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.

Just as much of a penalty as the one Liverpool got. No consistency. I think it is clear and obvious on replay.

Ricky was doing running at the Morton game with TOB, Dow, McKenna and Slater was he not?

Ravens are lucky to still be in this. Could change second half though.

Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola wouldn't do any better at the moment with these injuries. If Cove had stayed up it would have been at our expense so glad they self destructed in the end from a selfish point of view. If we can get some key players back quickly we will have a chance otherwise it's going to be over quickly.

Social media is full of absolute trolls. Not to be taken seriously.

We didn't extend the main stand for a start.

Nothing stuck to Bird yesterday. Just one of those games and got nothing from the ref including when he was almost in a choke hold. Without it sticking for Bird it was difficult for Robinson to get much of a look in plus he isn't up to speed yet. Too early to tell yet.

We have announced on social media also.

As soon as i seen Stowe going down i thought the refs not giving that.
Obviously the boy has gone in for the initial tackle, Stowe sees that the boy is on the deck and flicks the ball to the left past him. But he just looked like he tried to run over the player and not towards the ball.
Can see on the highlights him flick it left but his body does not turn or move left but straight on. He isnt trying to go round the player. Ref would have been looking at him from the front so got to believe thats what he saw too.
Obviously of course i want it to be a penalty all day long. But seeing it on the highlights i think Stowe seen a chance for a pen and played for it and failed.
I know i am going to get hate for having that view but its my honest opinion.
You would have a decent argument up until the defender jumps up into him. Stonewall penalty.

Not a bad selection for a Crocks XI.
Even got 1 on the bench to come for someone that gets double crocked.

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!
