No platform, podiums or even helicopters for Arbroath promotions in the 60s and 70s. Not necessarily the preferred resolution (that would be a replay) but in many ways much fairer than the farce of a penalty lottery deciding a major final. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport isn’t fair Joint winners of something sounds absolutely awful. If that game tonight finished at 120 minutes shared what fan would actually be satisfied with that? There’s got to be a winner celebrating and a loser upset otherwise the whole idea of competition means nothing There are loads of variables and luck in football that could go for you or against you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done ICT for dogged defence and winning thro on the penalty lottery (rumour has it you had practised in training so maybe chances in that particular lottery was skewed - so credit for excellent preparation) and good luck in the final. It would only be skewed if Arbroath didn’t practice penalties. And if they didn’t then they deserved to lose anyway given the nature of playoffs where a penalty shootout is fairly likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caley Shaun Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) It couldn't be any worse than Tuesday where after Extra Time, Worcester Warriors won a trophy after drawing 25 all on the basis they scored more tries!

Of course fans of complete no-marks like Arbroath would advocate sharing trophies after their bubble has just been burst by serial winners The Caley. You had your ‘nearly moment’ this season. Be proud of your team, regroup and come back and support your side in their relegation battle next season. They’ll need all the luck they can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley been our bogey team all season in 480 minutes we scored 1 fluke goal v them and we were top scorers in league. Inverness away days are either terrible or amazing depending on when they’re scheduled for. I really couldn’t be arsed if they went up or down. St Johnstone too. Like that would be more fun and a better away day but again I’m not overly arsed about who wins final Edited May 19, 2022 by 1320Lichtie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 In the first game Arbroath were there for the taking. In the second game, we were there for the taking! When we went down to nine twice, why didn't Arbroath just pummel us? Our only attacking outlet was Joe Hardy who must be the smallest player in Scottish football and yet Arbroath's game didn't change at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
