Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I actually forgot Scott Allardice even existed, let alone played at left-back [emoji38]I've erased so much of the early part of the season from my brain that I genuinely thought it was last year Allardice played for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezeboxson Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 2 hours ago, Ross Forbes said: Nope, I remember him selling the equaliser after being robbed of possession by the by-line. Gave it a watch back just there on SonsTV too - and he was definitely at left-back We missed some amount of chances that day. I had forgotten about the one Beany hit straight at Jamieson from about two yards. Dom ran Arbroath ragged that day. But overall our finishing was poor (as it has been for large spells this season) and Arbroath' s wasn't. Jazza told us that Mango was named on the bench so he could "be an extra pair of eyes" that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I was approached that day by another Dumbarton fan asking if I was the guy causing all the trouble on Facebook in the wake of Aitken getting sacked. I knew exactly who he meant but I was on the opposite side of the Aitken fence from him. It did make me laugh a bit about the brass neck of the questioner to just come straight out with it to someone he doesn't know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoseMarooniho Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Arbroath fans have been incredibly negative at times this season considering it's one of the best years in your history.Some have but by and large we’re chuffed and so we should be. Plenty to be grateful for I reckon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterlichtie Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Having deliberated, cogitated & digested the thought process of whether I should make the long arduous journey up for this game. The only conclusive answer I've come up with is......oh yes!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farflung lichtie Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I seriously hope Arbroath are taking the game itself seriously as befits a professional club. Dick’s interview after the Airdrie game implied that attitudes may not be right since the final placing are settled. But he restated that we are professional (or ‘semi professional’ some circles) so the paying public should demand full effort and focus. Only after 90 minutes can we indulge ourselves. I’d travel up anyway but it would be nice to finish off on a highAlso with a view to the record books/history, hoping we can reach/exceed the 70 point threshold. It’s been a fabulous effort this year but wins have been scarce second half. For comparison checking back to a couple of other promotion years 50 years ago, I was surprised to find we’ve picked up fewer points this time round.on an interview last weekend, Bobby Linn indicated he could be back playing before the end of the season. If the game/his fitness allows it, even a brief cameo appearance would be fitting.When Arbroath won promotion last day of the season in 1971-72, Dumbarton were the team that overtook us to claim the title on goal difference (we’d drawn, they won the final games). That, plus unjust outcomes in two playoffs in recent years plus two away defeats this season - surely these are grounds enough to motivate the Lichties for this weekends encounter? Maybe not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not I'm afraid that there is nothing unjust about being unable to beat Stevie Aitken's Dumbarton in the playoffs. That's just plain embarrassing. Dick Campbell did a great job to get his troops lifted for this season after what must go down as one of the most mortifying results in the history of Arbroath FC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I was all for giving a guard of honour on Saturday but the blatant rewriting of history from farflung lichtie has soured my feelings.

Jumbo Muir Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Arbroath have been sleepwalking since they effectively won the league months ago. Nothing to suggest that they’re going to suddenly switch on and entertain the paying public. They’re going to get the trophy and then celebrate by getting on the piss and good on them. The preceding football match is meaningless to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all love the day out aspect but getting them down to Gayfield seems to be harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
