SUPERSOUTH Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) 1 hour ago, Otis Blue said: Going back a few years now, but I think it was East Fife who had a female announcer, and I thought she was very good, very clear. As has been said by others, a detailed knowledge of the game isn't a requirement for the announcer - clear and confident communicator is what's needed. It would certainly help with a better tannoy speaker system in place for next season. The current set up its pretty poor to say the least.

It is maybe coming together a bit. Let's hope so. If we hadn't dropped points from strong positions in both home games against Alloa, we'd be well placed now. I know all clubs could probably point to particular games, but those, especially the first one, which ended 1-1, were fairly extreme examples of us blowing it at home. It still looks very likely that we'll miss out, but it's nice to feel a bit more upbeat about it all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be in with a shout of being named Manager Of The Month. To do that with this squad would be some achievement. I'm liking him more and more I just asked on the match thread, so apologies if you're getting a sense of deja-vu reading this here, but does anyone know if we've managed five wins vs the same team in one season before? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 For those on this thread (like me) who said it wasn't unreasonable to expect some improvement under Bartley it's possibly time to acknowledge that recent results do suggest some reasonable progress. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qos1990 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Two wins out of two, back to back for first time this season? 4 unbeaten. Definite progress, and I was firmly on the the fence, but credit where it’s due. But there only going to get bigger each week, if we are to sneak into the play offs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered if we might have beaten Arbroath 5 times in the season when we were last in league one. We did beat them in the Challenge Cup (possibly after extra time) but on checking we won 3 and drew 1 of the league games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 This is such a bizarre league. I’d say there hasn’t been too much between Queens and Airdrie this season across the three games, with Queens edging it on performances and results. Queens have then went and beat Edinburgh five times, convincingly so most of the time, whereas Edinburgh have beat us 6-0, 3-1 and 5-3 (where we were 2-0 up) It’ll be interesting to see the league table after next weekend’s fixtures. At least one of Airdrie and Alloa will drop points, same for Edinburgh and Montrose, and Peterhead are exactly who you want to play in that situation, even if it is at home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Nesovic's Barmy Army Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I enjoyed that tonight. Absolutely garbage view from the stands, usually I wouldn't grumble about such a thing. Very good second half and some tidy goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about us giving him time and support. I think Marv could be a class act. If the Board support him and he uses his contacts next season could be exciting for us. No Dunfermline either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonhamerDon Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Much more fun spending time trying to work out elaborate playoff permutations than wishing the season away - thanks Marvin We will come up just short but signs of improvement clearly there. That's 16 points from Bartley's 9 games in charge now. Replicate that form across the season you're at 64 points. Not enough to win the league but enough to probably be comfortable playoffs behind Dunfermline and Falkirk which is where most fans had us aiming for at the start of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Blue Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Two good post match interviews there from Marvin and Ruari, cheers Sandra. Really enjoy listening to Paton, he's entertaining and you sense his passion for the game, so refreshing and you get a sense of his humour too which is great for a good dressing room. Great to hear him describe Marvin as "a great human". Top man Ruari, would be great if we could hold on to him next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeJay Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Yes two good interviews post match. Paton, because of his work rate and passion for the team, is someone we really need to keep for next year's campaign. Okay he misses a few chances but given the right service he will put away more than he misses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
