Didn't do much for us, but our defence was makeshift anyway. Think he needs another loan spell somewhere else, possibly a League Two club where he can get a consistent number of games. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve noticed that quite often on Forfar’s stuff now and I’ve never, ever known them to be known as the Athies. Thought I had missed something. Whoever writes the Facebook/ websites seems use the term. I hate it, should be Loons with Sky Blues a very distant second imo. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m older than many on here and I’ve been aware of the term Athies since i was a wee lad. I’m not a fan of it or the Sky Blues, though the latter isn’t so bad now we’re playing in sky blue again, those years when our predominant colour was navy blue it was ridiculous. To be fair they can’t use Loons every time. One that does get me is Forfar FC, the Courier are the worst offenders with that one, we are Forfar Athletic FC. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought Forfar folk preferred " Farfar " as that's how they "leds" all seem to pronounce it . 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RateofKnots 52 Report post Posted January 15 Be interesting to see if the next club update mentions the latest SPFL meeting. Doncaster must be running out of lives. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He looks a player (ignore previous statements), it's a shame he didn't have an Anderson-Travis or a Whyte alongside him to learn from, pretty sure he will be 1st team pretty soon. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the directors does the official stuff and away matches. The home match tweeter is someone else, someone probably younger. For me I don't find a problem with the match-day Tweet updates, it's better to see a tweet saying (GOOAALL! FOXY!) Rather than (Goal 97' Fotheringham Forfar 2 - Linlithgow 1) We just haven't scored very often so these tweets aren't very common. I am said younger tweeter. Open to constructive criticism and still learning. I make no apologies for being a supporter however. Will also stay away from the term 'Athies' 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
