Because we cannot score against Inverness. You have our number and have all season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have our number and have all season Even Bobby Linn came on I don't remember Arbroath trying to get the ball wide and stretch us - it was just the continued blootering forward and when he always had at least two big lumps at the back that was never going to be effective. Arbroath remind me a wee bit of us under Terry Butcher - they know how they play and the players all know their jobs, but if the conditions change or the tactics don't work there's no way of changing it.

D'Jaffo Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 I don’t agree that penalties are a lottery either. There’s skill involved in taking one and taking one well for that matter. As evidenced by the fact that some players are better than others. Yes it also comes down to bottle and staying calm under pressure but I’d rather lose on penalties than share a trophy with another team. I’m sure there’s a DKB out there waiting to pounce on that… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Yep, a lottery is random chance where you have no influence over the outcome, other than buying a ticket to give you said chance.  Each penalty kicker has the chance themselves as to whether they score or not. That’s not what a lottery is. It’s the equivalent of picking the winning numbers yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahfpjim Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Why do we not have the penalties before the game starts. More incentive then to win the match by scoring more goals than the opposition. Should a player miss a penalty they would probably be then putting more into the game. It would also stop the end of tactical substitution. Down side may be negative football by the penalty winning team but we could enjoy at least 90 minutes of attacking football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you need to be so sarky? Obviously they would put a joint team with 5.5 players from each club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Penalties are not a lottery. They can be very unpredictable though. It can be argued that they are not the best way to seperate teams but what realistic other choices are available?Penalties are great if you win and horrible if you lose. I would always try to commit to going all out to win a game rather than having to go down the penalty route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Arbroath fans will still be crying about this match in a years time. After all, sharing a pitch with The Caley in a play-off semi-final is by far the biggest moment in their history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
