The Champions vs Roaring Raith


Recommended Posts

It's not about Starks Park. It's about Colin Hamilton, who effectively won the league back in February.
Watch from around the 20 second mark in the video 
 to relive the moment.


Some finish [emoji1145][emoji1145][emoji1145]

Jesus Christ. 

Another Arbroath fan indulging in a crowd-w**k. 

Its quite comical as is the cockyness of some Arbroath supporters

Taking into account its a game that meant the square root of fook all, on a Sunday 4-05 kick off,live on the box, 30ish away supporters is decent

What is questionable is there sanity ;)

One last time, just for the memories...

How's that "mare of all mares" going? You might still finish behind 3 Angus teams (mathematically unlikely, but here we are!)

Strange that considering you’ve only taken 5 points from us this season when he’s been working with Smith’s team.

Funny how rattled the Arbroath fans get about us being excited about McGlynn coming back. We had Hendry and Vaughan fit at that time too, if they’d stayed fit we’d probably have won the league tbh...

If your granny had a cock she’d be your uncle son. Enjoy the play offs

Such awful defending again. 

McGlynn messed up by not bringing any new defenders in. Seeing the available transfer resources go on those loan guys instead is so infuriating. 

I refuse to believe that our youth players couldn't do the same job as the likes of Barjonas et al. That bar is set pretty low anyway.

This is hindsight talking though. If McGlynn didn’t need to sign replacements for Wright, Gillespie, Armstrong, Hendry, Vaughan and even Dingwall, we’d quite possibly have signed a defender. As it was, he’s signed a lot of players as replacements for injuries, they haven’t just been a pain in the arse for certain games (seven probable starters out yesterday, plus a few youths) but have dictated what McGlynn can do in the transfer market.

If he hadn’t signed the likes of Barjonas and James Berry for instance was performing poorly, he’d be getting absolute pelters for not dipping into the loan market. Barjonas will be costing us virtually nothing but it’s obvious he would if he doesn’t play - hence he always plays.

Tough gig being a football manager. McGlynn made the only calls he could make at the time, for me, and they’ve not worked out due to a range of circumstances - some his fault, some not.

 agree with that to an extent, and had we been defending fine for the first half of the season I would agree 100%. 

However, the loan window ended in Feb – and there had been more than enough to suggest that our defence was the area of absolute massive concern. I know its about defending as a team and other factors have come into play, but some of the goals we lost earlier in the season were dreadful – away to Forfar in Oct, away to EF in Nov, away to Montrose in Dec – and you could add in the goals away to Brechin in Jan and the one at home to Forfar in Feb – all of those games saw us drop points from winning positions as a result of poor defending – we have seen new players come in after all of those, and none of them defenders.

I know what Mcglynn has tried to do but the harsh fact is that he hasn’t recruited any defenders (after Crane) into a team that has shown they cant defend. 

Last Feb we were well clear at the top of the league pretty much based on Lewis Vaughan and a watertight defence – the defence started to creak and its been downhill since then.

Far too sensible a post for the last few pages of this thread.
