Thistle vs Arbroath - 11th December 2021


Recommended Posts

Group of us had our Christmas day out yesterday, always based around a football match. Last one was away at Gayfield for 1-1 vs Dundee where we all had Linn covered to score so the day was paid for. To Firhill it was for this years event, and we all covered Dowds! Magnificent. A really entertaining match and Arbroath are such a great side. Nouble was so, so entertaining. He took the piss out of the Partick defence despite getting absolutely nothing from the ref, the two centre halves were absolutely all over him the entire game, he was worth the entrance fee alone. Was entertaining seeing Richard "dinna call me Ricky" Foster seething at the end. Pie was poor and the bovril quite expensive, but a wonderful day at the fitba.

Yes. We’re miles better off right now than we were under that charlatan Caldwell.

We'd be better off under Campbell (or most managers at our level) than we were under Caldwell. Are you satisfied with the performance of McCall and his team since they were there appointed? I'm not.

His latest post-reaction is another classic example of him blaming the team rather himself. There is nothing on how he will improve performances and results, especially against the top four. We're lucky that the teams below us are even worse.

Arbroath easily the best team by some distance and watching Nouble showboating is always fun.

Defence put in an excellent shift and midfield were bossing every ball.

If the pitch had been in better condition I think the final score could have been more.

Great all round team performance with some of our best players either on the bench or out injured.

Arbroath are in dreamland - long may it continue.

 

I don’t know how Arbroath play on good pitches, but our performances have dropped off noticeably on the poorer pitches in recent weeks, particularly Firhill. Certainly well deserved win yesterday, though.

It's a very good point you make about entertainment value. 

The previous match Berra and another horse of a defender spent the match on Nouble's back wrestling him off the ball and were applauded for robust defending.

Of course you play to your strengths but surely spectators want to see skill and not brute strength  !!!

Glad you enjoyed your day  😊
