I wish I didn’t think we’re going to get pumped. Oh for the carefree days of that 3-3 game.

I wish I had a pound for each time you’ve mentioned it

Both appointed to support DC. There’s no earthly reason why either would be kept on, if the new manager doesn’t want / need them.

Fringe players? 100% behind this appointment and hoping the new management team can bring about improvements.

From one look on the telly it looked like a great chance and his touch was extremely poor.

Froze it on sky bet as soon as the opener went in. The highlight of the day by a long way. Following Arbroath is more than ever an endurance sport. Most of the play and much of the player body language was awful yesterday. Spartans, Dunfermline and Ayr are big for DC.

That’s what I think. Perfectly foreseeable that we could lose this but those odds.

Expecting a difficult game but these boys drew with East Fife and we’re 13/2 for the win. What am I missing?

I was just thinking what a great colour it is.

I doubt any of the suggested changes on here (Norey for Hylton!!) would have magic’d up a 2-0. Well beat, move on.

Ah cheers, hope the S4C coverage is confirmed

TNS away set for Saturday afternoon 2.30pm ko. Presumably not on the telly then. Have we offended some SPFL bod?

Queen's Park 1-0 Ayr Airdrie 1-2 Raith Dunfermline 1-1 Morton Inverness 0-0 Dundee Utd Partick Thistle 2-2 Arbroath

I look forward to the highlights and, even with their occasional deficiencies. I won’t be piling in on the commentator either. Lad’s a volunteer, I expect, giving up his own time for the club.

Inspired management by DC yesterday. Came it after half time in a 4-1-3-1 and tried to keep the pressure on Airdrie despite being a player down. Slater’s excellent performance despite losing his midfield partner was key to the win. Great to see the team spirit, missing for a while last season, return. The ‘look at me’ ref was awful sadly. Needs to calm down. Even when he was making correct decisions he looked like he was losing the place.

Saw that tae. His overall contribution makes him an easy boy to drop.

Hopefully his big call, rescinded on Monday, doesn’t affect the result.

Winnable

I can’t deny my ruddy complexion

Can I surprise you, I now like this competition. The word winnable I don’t like however. It has slapped us in the face on numerous occasions.

Ayr United 1-2 Partick Thistle Arbroath 2-1 Airdrieonians Dundee Utd 0-0 Morton Queen's Park 1-1 Dunfermline Raith Rovers 2-0 Inverness CT

Thanks for coming and that but I’m not sure of the relevance of a Sunday friendly 38 year ago is. Bottom line here is a league game has been rescheduled to commemorate the centenary of a club name change and without the agreement of both teams. Some think that’s fine and some not.

Consensual rescheduling. Big difference.

Nah. TV games are contractual, would be lunacy to complain. Utd want to swap to commemorate the anniversary of a name change. Unheard of.

Arbroath FC founded on 1 July. Not a great date on which to force an advantage. Plus I wouldn’t have the gall to ask.
