George Parr Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 My 90s driven memory of Boghead was a rancid tip with endless postponements and a year-long defeat streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much where I used to stand/sit/lie down when we were attacking this end. Then I'd move to the diagonally opposite corner when we were attacking the 'big' end.

Not many grounds can boast a backdrop like that, even if is comparatively soulless on match days when compared with boghead.

I liked the Salutation Inn. Real ale and a clientele whose average age made me feel young again. Thought I'd have to show my pension book to get served. I don’t remember the Duke of Montrose, but it’s just off the high street. I think the Salutation Inn may be gone now (Montrose fans, correct me if I’m wrong). If it’s the one I’m thinking of, it became pretty relaxed about asking for ID... (possibly why it’s not there any more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now a restaurant I believe after changing hands and names numourous times. It's opposite the Market Arms which is where I'd recommend for a pint.Star Bar on the way to the ground and Royal Arch in the high street are to be avoided.There are loads of pubs for the size of town and plenty choice if you can find them. Personally like the Golf Inn but maybe a little out the way for visiting fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I've never been in the Royal Arch - always thought it looked pretty rough. Golf Inn is a great pub, my mate's Grandfather used to own it.

lionel wickson Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 No more Salutation Inn........................... (sobs uncontrollably).I may be wrong, but I think Dave Smith (ex Aberdeen & Rangers player in the '60s to early '70s) was once the landlord.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 On 31/07/2018 at 17:08, Nowhereman said: Six subs is more than enough On 31/07/2018 at 17:17, Bring Back Paddy Flannery said: Is it? What do we do if we have 3 players out through suspension or injury? That leaves you with 2 outfield subs and a goalkeeper, 1 of those outfield subs could be a defender. It doesn't give you much scope to change a game if things aren't going your way. I agree that 6 subs should be enough if everyone is fit but I'd imagine the chances of us having everyone fit for every game this season are slim to none. It's a risky move when you can't fill your bench with everyone fit, whether or not the risk pays off remains to be seen. Here we are, 3 weeks into the season, and we are facing the scenario of having THREE subs on the bench. One of those being a goalkeeper. Bodies are absolutely required if we want to mount any sort of serious title challenge this season. We are now in a position of only being able to make two subs tomorrow unless we fancy flinging Jamie McGowan up top for the last 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that six subs was enough and I stand by that. If we only have three that could be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo90 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just watched the Morton highlights, watch Hutton at Mortons goal.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7epT2RyRb8 - 2mins 10 secs. No effort to properly close down the man with the ball, then when dyer follows the ball he doesn't tuck in to cover and then shrugs his shoulders. Lazy as f**k.

If we only have three that could be an issue.Because 6 subs (when every player is available) = a squad of 17, which isn't enough, was the point I was making that you originally responded to. I'd be surprised if there are any games this season where all 17 are completely injury or suspension free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
