Exactly and with more than double the income now from the ESL, they can afford to spend millions on a second srting squad more than capable of maintaining the gap to everyone else and keep their duopoly. Big bucks can then be spend on second rate foreigners who will be over priced and over paid just for a change to be part of the ESL and get that move to a 'big' team. All a bit, meet the new boss, same as the old boss kind of vibes to it all with regards to the Scottish game.

Davidson to continue showing its the season of good will to our opposition. Pre-xmas stuffing incoming, 4-0 to the Glasgow Thistle and Dunc to cancel all merriment and joy on the bus back home.

Mixed up your months there, that was June, easy done im sure. When was Arbroath last at a cup final in Glasgow or anywhere?

How we expect Arbroath season to end

Awesome contribution. You should continue to follow Caely threads as this kind of input is highly valued.

Another Dodds error. He should never have left, rather have George than any other forward we have in our team except Billy, as shown the type of player who gets goals at this level with the right service and game time, something I don't think samuels or lodivica will ever do.

*was Can see why you are struggling to comprehend the point made.

Raith fans describing a team sitting 2nd in the Championship pre-xmas having won f**k all as 'incredible' shows how success starved they are. Make no mistakes had Dodds not been so abject to allow Raith to end their hoodoo last time out, confidence would have collapsed when we went ahead as history has shown over the last 23 years. Raiths win is as much down to Billy Dodds as their own team.

Standard Scottish media and small club attitude when meeting a big team

Standard retorts on match thread quality from a set of fans when other clubs fail to w**k over their low level successes. So plaudits to Raith for 2nd placing in the Championship before Xmas for the first time in 2 decades.

Too many passengers in the squad brought in by poor recruitment which need moved on to free up wages. Unfortunately we probably don't have funds to pay them off and no other club will take them as been shown how abject many are when given the chance to step up. So January may be a disappointment to us all. Worry we may get gazumped by another club on Wortherspoon either in this league or lower Prem

Fifers in exhibition of whataboutery

Yes Caley formed 1994, Raiths last trophy (major final infact) was 1994.

Id suggest that from history any postponement would just be a delay to the inevitable

Did the club not rip up the USH and sell the copper pipe for that very reason, that or we've neglected to maintain it. Either way I don't believe we have it functioning any more and if we did, certainly wouldn't be firing it up for a 1500 fan home game against Raith.

Not a single outfield home player wearing long sleeves or gloves either ................... must be during the Butcher years?

probably not allowed in the halls of Scottish football as its clearly sectarian TBH I'm surprised some clubs and fans havent objected to green grass yet

Unless its decided dangerous travel for the away fans calling a game off, otherwise get the lines brushed and the orange ball out for the day.

Last Caley manager to bring about the public indignity to our club by loosing to Raith rightly lost his job. Hoping Dunc has taken that as a warning and normal service will resume. No mistakes relying on our squad players this weekend dispatching this gang of Fifers - home win, clean sheet and another 3 points as we creep up the table.

Start of this years Hampden journey and good chance to divert attention from the 'tiresome' battery farm chat through giving these butchers, bakers and candlestick makers the level of skudding expected by an elite team with rich pedigree in this competition. Home team to score more goals than these Fifers have digits on their 6 finger hands please.

Latest club email on the subject screams of something that would really have benefited being written by solicitors and technical experts in the field. Positive that our board are at least willing to try new ideas. Perhaps bigger brown envelopes at the lodge might have prevented the surprise of rejection

Exactly. Great chance for some players to bang in goals (which this season have been lacking) and build confidence.

Dont see Doak getting into the squad unless of injuries, even the friendlies per-tournament he may miss out. Clarke is loyal and will now stick with guys who got us there barring any major drop outs therefore probably unlikely to see Doak until next nations league or WC qualifiers.

Clearly HC are in cahoots with Global Energy in trying to keep the caley down and stop us becoming #ballers with our Greenport/Freeport cash. Like the Saudis I expect SG to find some inventive sportswashing opportunities to pave the way.
