Arbroath FC v Dundee FC ( Friday 22/01/21 @ 7.45pm )


Recommended Posts

Caught the game last night. Was a good watch!

Dundee should have won but I was very impressed with Arbroath. Having read Dick Campbell's take earlier in the week about "modern" football, it was refreshing to see him set his team up to play football and be competitive in a way all fans of every team want.

Arbroath in reality shouldn't be able to compete with Dundee and most teams in the division but there they are. Enormous credit has to go to Campbell for that

As I said, he played well. However, Gaston, for instance, hardly put a foot wrong. and kept us in the game on a couple of occasions. Ricky played well too, and scored a decent goal. TOB rescued us at the end when he wasn't the favourite to win the ball etc, etc.
Maybe it's just my complete total and utter bias against the Old Firm. I hope that Ben wins me over in the next few games.

Gaston made a good save but his kicking was horrendous, gave the ball to the opposition on numerous occasions.

Didn't think Dundee looked like a potential Premier league outfit, but then neither did Hearts when they came to Gayfield, which doesn't say much for the current state of Scottish football.

Tbf, I doubt Hamilton, Ross County or St Johnstone would either at Gayfield. Up to a certain point the skill levels in this country seem to plateau imo.

Don’t agree with that at all... I thought it was idiotic to set up 4-4-2 against a Dundee team who are all about working round Adam in a middle three... Dundee’s (McPake’s) limitations let him off the hook. They could and should have been out of sight by half-time.

LOL, in the 70's and up until now all we Smokies could see was the bottom of your Hi-Tec trainers when we chased you up the hill next to Tutties.

Also the battle of the Windmill Hotel the Hilltoon **** got a spanking.

Good night, 36-0.

Well done Punk, this gave me the biggest laugh I've had on this forum in a long time. Was at every league/cup game between the clubs in the 70s and can only imagine the sands of time have clouded your memory or maybe all the doings you had from the Derry boys have scrambled your brains. Gull slags Dundee fashionistas, oh my sides are sair

If you ignore the fact that it worked and the player Adam was up against was voted man of the match then you definitely have a point.

Dundee FC are a BIG club and the peh-munchers slag the Red Lichties = do not make me laugh lol

Where were your covers for your pitch yesterday?

Were they down,?

Do you not have under soil heating?

SO in the last year you have had PUDDLEGATE when you was supposed to play the Red Lichties at home during a heat wave, and now numerous HARDPITCHGATE's whilst other "lesser" clubs in the same area can get their games on no problemo..................  

FARCE!

36-0.
