The Arbroath Thread

[afc_36_0]

I could see henderson playing defensive mid if we dont get chris hamilton back

[Tattie36]

Don Thomas is full-time and probably on a very good wage. Can’t see him coming to us.

He’ll easily get a good full-time contract somewhere.

This is going to be an interesting summer. Already posted the players but I think in terms of a starting 11

 

Gaston

 

New RB

Little 

ToB

Hammy 

 

Stewart

New CM

Low

New winger 

 

McKenna

New Striker 

 

Sub Keeper

JT

Gold

Henderson

LD 

Craigen 

Bobby

 

With Patterson away out again on loan. 
 

Crying out for a left winger (we could just play Bobby but that’ll never happen) and I imagine we will do our usual and sign atleast one striker on loan. 
 

With that 7 being the core of our starting 11 though I think we will do reasonably well. 

A fit JT well worth a start in my book.

I've been thinking Charlie Adam for a while......just didn't want to mention it first 

His old man did a job for us. 

No reason Charlie jnr couldn't have a great season here.

I think he’s on his last legs and not been the same going forward recently. We’ve had a lot of issues on and off with right back over the season id like to see us go for Scott Taggart or Cammy Ballantyne

Big Lewis Strapp fan. But highly unlikely he would sign for us.

“Inverness are "astonished" Devine's red card appeal was unsuccessful. (Press and Journal)”.
Who would have though a last man rugby tackle was a red card? [emoji23]

His arm was barely on him and Hamilton basically headed the ball back to Ridgers, Hamilton was never getting to it even if Devine was no where near him, It was never a red card.  Thankfully it didn't matter as 9 men was enough to beat you.

Both arms were around him and if there wasn't contact Hamilton would have got to it. If you look back at it Ridgers was actually nowhere near the ball. Thought it was a red at the time and the right call has been made. Quite surprised ICT wasted their time even appealling it after watching it back tbh.

Not for me, Clive.  There's no where near enough contact for it to be a foul. Hamilton know's he's fucked the header, feels the contact and goes down.

I’m in two minds but I am not surprised the appeal was rejected

Knows he’s fucked the header ? That’s one really strange way of describing that situation. Personally feel leaping and hanging in the air like he did to even get contact before the centre half should be applauded. If only he took it done on his head , kept it up all the way to the goals then scored eh

[Tattie36]

I’m going to go against the grain a little here and say that I didn’t think it merited a red at the time (was celebrating it though) and I still don’t. Free kick and a yellow card.

If every mistimed jump/foul when two players jump for a ball and have a tangle, was a red then we’d have multiple sending offs in every game. I don’t think any Arbroath fans would be happy if it happened to eg O’Brien at the other end.

[Lichtie78]

The worst thing about the red card was Inverness’ statement that followed. Straight from the drafts of Jim Traynor

Inverness game chat needs binned or resigned to the match thread tbh

The red card was nothing to do with the nature of the "tangle", indeed that same foul in the middle of the park wouldn't have been a card at all. The card was for denying a goalscoring opportunity.

This. As gutted as i was im over it and looking forward to next season.

[stan3600]

I’m well over it. I just thought Inverness appealing was amusing and pathetic. I put it on this thread to avoid the inevitable ICT backlash but the stalkers are still here. Sorry.
