Hard to imagine there is another club that would let this continue, we have been dross since January. What do the board imagine is going to change when it is the same shit every single week? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without sounding cheeky the Forfar home support is pretty stinking it’s not ever really too busy you’d hardly notice the difference between a match day and non match day so getting out of Forfar would be fine. All just depends on the traffic when you’re going into Dundee, there’ll probably be 2/3 thousand Aberdeen fans at Tannadice and the vast majority going by road will be going the same direction you are at the same time. If you can get around that busy Forfar road junction you’ll be sorted, maybe even take a detour through Fintry and back up on to the Kingsway that way. Thanks again for your help. Made it and had a great day. Cheers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s sackable form regardless what level you’re at, we genuinely look like a pub team at times with Irvine in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's never anything new tried. It's 4-4-2 without any alterations, no matter what and like for like subs. Zero adventure or gamble. I'm sick hearing myself moaning about the same things every Saturday night! Even the awful music never changes!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very close to finding something better to do with my time and money because there is zero entertainment or enjoyment to be had. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loon From Outta Toon Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Club Statement The board of Forfar Athletic Football and indeed our entire management team are acutely aware of the seriousness of our league position. In recent weeks the Chairman and Vice Chairman have been meeting regularly with the manager to offer both additional financial support and to discuss the situation we find ourselves in. Whilst not offering this as an excuse, we have to be honest and say we have been hit with the most severe injury list, one which any club would find difficult to manage. We find ourselves continually plagued with horrendous luck on this front and we are struggling to get the squad that we hoped we would have available to us. During the recently closed loan window at the end of September we found as did many other clubs, it extremely difficult to get the deals over the line in some cases despite the fact that we had been working for weeks to conclude. We accept that this is just part and parcel of football. Gary is very much aware of what we require as a football club and rest assured no one is working harder than him and his back room staff to turn our fortunes around and he accepts that this can’t go on indefinitely. He does still have the full backing of the board and his playing squad. While we accept that this statement will not be universally popular with all our fans, we ask that you respect what we are trying to do and that is to help a young manager through a very difficult time in his career. Before closing the Directors do note the criticism levelled they feel unfairly on social media by certain factions that they are only interested in procuring sponsorship and hospitality bookings and promoting events such as Sportsman’s Dinners and Golf Days. Nothing could be further from the truth. The football side of the club, the supporters and share holders are and always will be at the forefront of all our efforts. However without the many fund raising ventures that the Directors and a hardy band of volunteers put so much of their own time and effort into, the club simply could not survive these days on the financial front. We would like to thank you for your continued support both on match days and at fund raising events, all of which rest assured is much appreciated. Let’s all stick together moving forward in our one main aim at present to see the ‘Loons’ begin a climb up the league two table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RateofKnots Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Injuries. Whyte- seemingly made of glass. No offence to the lad. Munro- always misses games every year. Keatings - retired previously because of injuries. Thats just off the top of my head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RateofKnots Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I'll put my hands up and admit I'm one of those who use fundraising efforts as a stick to beat them with. As I've said before, I have no issue with and actively support those efforts, but not to the detriment of the purpose of the football club, a winning team on the park. I also think it's important to note that I've not said anything that I wouldn't say to anyone's face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nditi - better than what we have playing at rb at the moment Mcluskey - missing on Saturday there. Thomson - been in & out the squad due to injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_titz Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I’m not buying into this injury stuff . also responding to the criticism. Any criticism they do receive on Facebook they just block loyal fans . f**k the board up their own arse . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Flanagan is the big one for me -- he'd give us some much needed creativity and is something a bit different. Mental that Hanratty hasn't been starting of late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental that Hanratty hasn't been starting of late. I can only assume Hanratty is either a dreadful trainer, or isn't massively interested in being coached by Irvine. Definitely good enough to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
