gm_1982 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 No interest for this one? City on the up perhaps, a few positive performances of late but giving ourselves a mountain to climb too often before we start playing. Think this'll be a tight game.

underpar Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 My biggest fear is the risk to our players on THAT surface . Dene Shields injured at Montrose few weeks back . Cant afford to lose anyone else. City win . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dene Shields injured at Montrose few weeks back . Cant afford to lose anyone else. City win . To be fair , Station Park is one of , if not the best artificial surface in Scotland due to the work that Martin the groundsman does in maintaining it. It is one of the few plastic pitches where the bounce is consistent . I also can't remember the last injury any of our players picked up on that pitch ..........unlike some of the other abortions which are obviously used solely to generate income with the minimum of maintenance. As for the game itself, a tough one to call. Hopefully our recent improvement in form continues along with the inconsistent Farfar performance of last week. However , I predict a niggly 0-0 with yet another shite ref trying to steal the limelight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgeman83 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Always enjoy a derby at station park be our first trip there since the great escape and we get to see our old pal Mr weir. Was quite disappointed in Hendry last week after his performance against Arbroath Boris was great when he came on last week so be a tough call who starts along with Jacko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Really looking forward to this! Our recent derby record is appalling but if we turn up, should be a good game! Assuming our loan players all HAVE to start the game I would go McCallum Wilson Travis whyteMeechan Bain Moore Reilly Hilson Cunningham Baird TBH that was a struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strongbow392001 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 How we never won that god only knows. 2 poor teams. Feels like 2 points dropped from a loons perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofixedability Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Should have won. Aitken made a difference, why is Dylan no longer playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Aitken offered a bit of a route one option. Think we deserved to nick that. Dylan from the start....please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 We have to build the team around Easton not give him bits and pieces. We are almost unwatchable without him. Jim fair likes to tinker with his defence eh? Meanwhile the midfield pair are waved through every single week while contributing next to nothing.

OldRed Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I did not want to post after our Montrose defeat but after watching another game spoiled by a plastic pitch I have to join the “get rid of them” brigade. It is like watching a game of tennis except miskicks and misdirected passes dominate the game. It really isn’t football as we know it Jim. Not to mention career ending injuries - how long can the SFA let that go on? not sure about the “how did Forfar not win that game” post - both teams missed a pile of sitters - could have been 5 -5 . Not sure about the”two poor teams” comment either - on that pitch how would you tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
