I was going to but I’ve had my weekly dose of pain on Saturday I cannot have it twice in the one week… plus it’s the day before payday too and it’s been an expensive month. Will sadly miss this and can’t see too many others making a big effort to go down there on a Tuesday night at this time of the month Saturday too we have had some good home supports, basically 2k against both QP and Inverness but as someone who religiously goes and rarely misses a match the game against QP definitely made me lose some of my soul it was unbelievably painful to watch. But as I said in our match thread that’s football and supporting a lower league football club we’ve been due a shite spell for a while I think this week and next week will see a whole lot of changes in and out of the squad too so it’s all interesting and fun and games Expect a tough tough match Saturday and I hope even with all the things that seem to be going against us right now, definitely no ToB and probably no Hammy and Nicky Low leaving the club that we can somehow pull off a win on Saturday. It’s the kind of thing that seems to strangely happen in football and one of the great things about it Edited August 29, 2022 by 1320Lichtie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) I’d imagine we’ll see a fair decrease in crowd for the cup game with all the ownership shenanigans, some ST holders (and others) may resent putting extra money into the club just now with the added incentive that £20 seems a bit expensive for a midweek league cup 2nd round match. I think we should take a decent crowd up to Gayfield at the weekend however. Edited August 29, 2022 by JagsCG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put in a shift, caught wrong side on a few occasions but hopefully a few games can put that right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I dunno if it was just the fact that he’s an actual central midfielder playing central midfield or what but I thought he done well up until the point we were down to 10 men and throwing bodies forward but it was a hard ask after Tam sending off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SotesBornalichtie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It's a long time since I've ever bothered about the League Cup and I'm not bothered this season either. So I think we should be concentrating on getting results in league games. With that in mind I would be playing fringe players tomorrow night. Let's see if Donnelly can do anything in a no pressure game, give Gill, Corfe, Patterson, Hancock, Shanks and Hilson the full 90 mins. Would be a good game to try out any new signings...if we had any. Looking forward to Saturday, although we seem to have been Partick's bogey team I can't see us taking anything from the game but you never know. Even a point would be welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan3600 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I wouldn’t want to go into Saturday’s game on the back of a thumping midweek, so I don’t agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The league is ultimately our bread & butter, yes a league can't be won early in the season but league wins create a winning mentality and that is important IMO especially as we could arguably be playing a top of the league clash the following week. Just my opinion but let's solve the conversation & win both, c'mon the jags This. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not try and win the game? Also, we never play 3 at the back, why would we make such a fundamental shift? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveTheLichtie Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Gaston Thomson Little Hancock Hamilton Stewart McKenna Allan Paterson Shanks Linn Not going 3 at the back but we need much more up top. A flat 442 ain't going to give us that with the players available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also said Colin Hamilton has a hamstring injury, never mentioned the severity of it though. ToB Hamilton Gold Low Donnelly Now unavailable for various reasons.

Reid Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Would imagine we’ll make a fair few changes for the cup game. If fit then I’d imagine Sneddon, Brownlie, Muirhead, Hodson, Turner, Smith, Fitzpatrick and 2 of Weston, Dowds or Mullen to start. Something like this: Sneddon Hodson Akinola Muirhead McMillan Fitzpatrick Docherty Turner Smith Dowds Mullen/Weston Edited August 29, 2022 by Reid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-0 Maroon Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Any chance you guys could just loan us Dowds for the rest of this season ️ Was absolutely superb for us and gave us great options uptop creating so many brilliant memories, Was gutted we never signed him when he left Falkirk especially since his brother put on Twitter he was Gayfield bound 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 £30k extra prize money for getting through this, plus the chance of a TV match & additional TV & gate money if we do get through it, need to try and find the balance between getting guys who've not played much some game time and not throwing in a team who don't know each other. Brownlie & Dowds should definitely start, and if we're playing 2 up front Weston should start as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Also I think we are streaming this as a one off purchase at £10 (our league games are monthly or annual subscription only) for any Arbroath fans who might not want to travel and pay £20 Though if you're in the UK / Ireland you'll need a VPN and I've no idea how good or otherwise the VPN detection software the club / SPFL are using is so might be £10 down the toilet if you can't see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUAFC Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Reckon they'd sell a few more if it wasn't for non UK/ Ireland viewers (or you had to hide behind a VPN) Can't see any legal reason for this decision ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier Sports have the UK rights to show the games I am playing 5s tonight thankfully so won’t even be able to constantly check my phone. The doom and misery will hit me all at once, like pulling off a plaster Edited August 30, 2022 by 1320Lichtie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
