Last week got 3 email tickets for Albion Rovers match, we went along to join the 600 or so that turned up last night. Thought that be that, then got 3 email tickets for the Hamilton match. I’d say we are nearer to 1000 than 1800 if like us we get tickets for both matches. Wouldn’t read much into it. Loads of people, myself included, still on holiday plus I know a good few people who wanted Sat tickets but got Tues tickets and couldn’t make the midweek fixture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a related question for my generation and older - remember the first time we went up to the Premier Division in 1986. In our 1st game we drew at home 1-1 with Motherwell. In our second game, we went to Ibrox and only lost 1-0 to a soft (shock!) Ally McCoist penalty. That night we played a defender called Jim Henderson. He must have done ok, but never ever played for us again. Anyone got any info on him, or why he was totally bumped so soon? Had a look at Better Meddle and it states that Henderson was substituted for Mike Cormack. There were only two subs allowed in those days (the other being striker Gary Clark) so, as Cormack was a midfielder rather than a defender, I wonder if this was a forced substitution and that Henderson may have been injured, possibly resulting in him not being considered again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Did Clark not go on to Hamilton and have a relatively decent spell with them? On the subject of players gone by Charlie Lytwyn anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I got tickets for Tuesday’s game but I haven’t been selected for Saturday’s. I would hope those who can’t make Saturday’s game would have their tickets handed out to those who can make it. 300 odd tickets not getting used last night is a waste, whether people never handed them back or whether the club never redistributed them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 9 hours ago, Rugster said: Not true. Encroachment is penalised if the encroaching team benefit from the penalty. Ie if an attacker encroaches and its scored its retaken. If a defender encroaches and its missed its retaken. Regardless of whether or not the encroacher gets involved. You never ever see a pen retaken for encroachment though unless the player is actually involved in the play. That's what the rule is supposed to be but they never interpret it like that. I can't remember seeing a penalty blootered into the top corner being brought back for some boy entering the box slightly early. Only time it's been retaken is when the defender clears it after encroaching. That's happened a number of times in the EPL via var but I've never seen one retaken after scoring due to encroachment by an attacking player due to var. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to have turned into a capable ball playing centre back at Edinburgh City so righfully earned his move. If he had developed that much he wouldn't be playing for Arbroath. And Edinburgh city have been huffing and puffing trying to get out of league 2 for seasons now. When guys like Buchanan could still get a gig at that level last season mind you I shouldn't be surprised. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I think we've seen from our games over the last two seasons against Arbroath that they are a fairly jobber side (which finished 5th and 7th tbf) . Even a team that started Francis, Leitch and Sammon got one over on them. Don't get me wrong, we'd have to strengthen to challenge for the promotion play-offs in the Championship, but there is a hell of a lot of dross in that league and someone playing at that level wouldn't necessarily cut it for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Let's face it it's a lot harder to get into the championship than it is to get relegated out of it. Arbroath have been good at picking up enough points to keep themselves out of the playoff positions where I think they might have struggled as they did in the cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Kai Fotheringham, is there a player there, and at what level should he currently be playing? Seems he just followed us on Twitter (yep, it’s slow enough to be reduced to this sort of rumor). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, sadly, threw him into a pressure situation due to multiple injuries and too much expectation on him imho. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a player there, he's quick and direct but due to his build he's easily knocked off the ball which is understandable. We expected too much of him too soon but as someone has mentioned he'll be a good option off the bench when teams have tired later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I would take Fotheringham back. Can't imagine he'd be on much and would be fine as cover We've also got much better full-backs than we did last season when he had no help on the wing whatsoever. Another spell in league 1 would do him good imo, don't think he would be ready for the championship 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Looked a good bit away from being a regular in tough physical leagues like those up here. Scored a goal against Arbroath in the cup but did very little else after that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
