PortyMo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Starting a thread just to remind everyone that we are in this league. An awkward one for us in what will be a difficult start to the season. Pre-season has been a mixed bag. An excellent win against St. Johnstone followed by a collapse against Forfar then a frustrating draw against Brechin. Stranny will be one of our fellow underdogs this season so a win tomorrow would be a magnifcent start to the season and a draw not to be sniffed at. I'll go for a battling 1-1 draw. Good luck to the Mighty Mo for the coming campaign. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 For those who are underestimating Stranraer and tipping us for the drop I’d say we have a better squad than last year, much more resilient. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d definitely agree. You won’t be anywhere near the relegation dog fight this season. Hilton, Thomson, Elliott, Cummins etc all impressed last week, and the resignings of Robertson and Gallagher will be a big positive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity check needed. Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 For those who are underestimating Stranraer and tipping us for the drop I’d say we have a better squad than last year, much more resilient. Agree you were well organised against Falkirk in the cup game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Will be keeping a close eye on this result as I would imagine we will all be at a similar level this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endieinreekie Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Unfortunately my wife wasnt persuaded to wait for the 7.30pm sailing from Cairnryan to Belfast so that I could attend the game and am currently on the ferry to Belfast. Selfish cow!! Anyway, this will be a tough game and a tough season and I would take a draw at present. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our already small squad depleted by two, due to your Montrose Hammer throwers,your no.5 should have walked. You definitely will struggle mid season with suspensions playing like that. Still your multiple penalty awards always pull you lot through, experts at it. Summary Hammer Throwers and weak referee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 First visit to Stair Park (and still not home yet, cheers Scotfail) - decent ground and always like being within earshot of the keeper, ho ho.... Happy with a point given we barely did anything up front for the first hour and a bit (missed the first 10 minutes mind you). Soon as we threw Lyons/McLean on we looked far better. Stranraer showed lots of resolve and some flair on the counter, only a lack of composure stopped them being 2 or 3 up. Five minutes of madness with three goals as both sides (uncharacteristically) lost their discipline for a bit and the game opened up. A physical contest, as I'd expect, but didn't think it was overly malicious TBH. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvz2000 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Not often I come away from Stair Park disliking the opposition but I did today , one of the dirtiest teams I’ve seen in a while , with a decent referee one or more Montrose players would have walked , right through the team they were obviously told to disrupt by fouling , complaining and if a Stranraer player comes near you in the box Dive Dive Dive , poor show indeed . as for Stranraer I thought we played well and without the forced substitutions I feel we would have collected all 3 points , our two goals were superb with some great passing and movement, Montrose did have a fair share of possession without causing us many problems and only a mix up in the Stranraer defence allowed them the equaliser. Thompson was the man of the match for me , very very impressed but no failures in the team and lots of positives from the game . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue1870 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Aye the enforced changes really hampered us. Took a while to adjust but credit to the team we equalised quickly. I feel if Stewart hadn't got injured from that bad tackle then we might have been further ahead at half-time. Still last season we would have lost that game. Robertson and Elliot should be back next week with Gallagher, Stewart and Allan out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Thomas you seem a tad upset?Thanks for your input now f**k off and cry somewhere else thanks ,this is for big boys.....Bye Football is a physical game, but their is a difference between hard defenders and dirty defenders. Yesterday that was a game changer. Our two front men who were causing your slow defenders problems were both hacked down , one will be out for at least 4 weeks , that’s not what football is about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
