I see Bobby Linn is getting his farewell tonight. I'd love to be there tonight (I only support Lochee United, not Dundee United), but I can't seem to buy any tickets. Maybe a bit cheeky to ask it in here, but any chance anyone can help me out for tonight?
If you phone the club and explain I'm sure they would be happy to help.

Couple of unknown faces in background of Dicks interview.
Also training at regional performance centre which is new?
Letham will have midweek league games at the start of the season so probably just a temporary measure. Sure Ross Campbell is involved with the running of the place.

I agree with that side of things. Just don't like playing them 2 games in a row. Might work out well for us though.
Aye it's a bit strange, but preferable to a midweek game in any case.

Moving it to a free Saturday is an absolute no brainer both financially and on the pitch in my opinion.

Good news! We now have an online archive containing our entire history! The archive is now fully live and can be found here; Arbroath Archive. Below gives a rough idea of what we've got on there:
· A record of every game we've played from 1878 until present day, with over 6400 total games in total, with game date (teams, subs, scorers, ref etc) where known, and highlights for modern day games· A match report for every almost every game with thousands of old reports from the Arbroath Herald & Arbroath Guide and dozens of other sources, as well as fan reports from the old arbroathfc.org.uk website for our games in the 90s and early 00s
· A profile for every player who has played for the club containing their full playing record for the club as well as player info, a picture where we have it and a biography
· Our all-time player appearance records, goalscorer records and clean sheet records
· Hundreds of pictures, programme covers, a managerial timeline, hat trick heroes and lots more!
As well as the site itself, we will be looking to keep our social media pages fairly active with regular posts on a whole host of things, such as 'Guess the Player', 'On This Day', 'Did You Know?' etc. as well as hopefully further articles/ interviews in the future.
We have a fantastic history as a football club, and I'm delighted we have our full records online for all to see and hope the social media channels will help bring some wonderful stories of players, matches etc. to you all over the coming months/ years. If anyone wants to get involved or has any material they think we should have on the site it'd be great to hear from them.
It'd be great if people we're able to share the site/ social media posts on their own online profiles to get things out there. Any and all questions/ contributions/ ideas etc. are welcomed and very much encouraged
I know how long this has been in the works, great to see it out for everyone to enjoy. Fantastic effort mate

Right now I can’t help but shake the feeling that we will be marooned at the bottom,.

I see we are wearing our eyesore third kit on Saturday, should always wear home kit at home don't care if it's for charity or not. Maybe get a couple of Labradors in exchange to play in defence mind you.

Well if its all about goals, why did we sell Shanks?
Turan absolutely has not looked "worse than hopeless" so far.
I'd be interested to hear what attributes of Turans game have impressed you

It absolutely is nonsense. Hysterical nonsense. Did Turan run over your dog or something?
How many 27 year old strikers with 11 career league goals suddenly turn good?

There's surely a happy medium between having no defensive cover and paying Charlie Mulgrew about a grand a week.

Looking forward to us signing a winger to bolster our defence
Well we still need a winger

Even Dick Campbell must realise he is running out of credit in the bank and not be so stupid as to treat two derbies (against teams who will be choking to beat us) as friendlies.

Arbroath Vics looked pretty good today, nice to see a competitive game so early in the season.
Was the Vics game and they were well worth their win. They've got a young squad this season but definitely some talent there, and an improvement in the goalkeeping ranks too from what I've seen.
Plan on heading through to Broughty Vs Panmure on Wednesday, early signs not great for a Panmure threepeat.

Mental we have folk assisting with recruitment and we seemingly can’t identify a single left back in the country in near 5 months.
Must be hard work scouting when our head of recruitment is soaking in the hospitality at every game to be fair. You'd think he might be, I don't know, scouting?

Surely get a decent wedge for it - every little helps - I personally wouldn’t care either
If the price was right, crack on. Gayfield would still be in the name somewhere in any case.

Noticed Forfar and now Brechin have sold the naming rights to their grounds…. Can’t be long until we follow suit
I don't think we would really need to given our financial situation, but if we did it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. Any ground with an established name that gets sponsored continues to be called by its original name anyway.

Our cup record under Campbell has been pretty dreadful tbh, to the point where he's commented on it himself. He never seems to take it seriously. I still haven't forgiven him for throwing the Dunfermline game last season.
Must be tiring being the only person ever to care about a challenge cup result. Should have done what any sane person did that night, stayed in the pub and watched Holland Vs Argentina.

For st mirren i’d go with
gaston
steele little tob gold
stewart/stowe balde slater dow
mckenna
bird
I noticed shay logan left cove, would take him on a short term deal as long as he sorts his shorts out
Agree with that team. Think Logan is away offshore though, I thought the same thing when he left cove

I think Dow is a really clever player but not a winger, would much prefer to see him in central midfield than McKenna (who needs to be pushed up) and Allan (who needs to be

I do not understand Dick's mind at times. Tonight should have been a comfortable 3/4-0 victory and a chance for us to just enjoy a game, something we haven't had much of over the last year. Instead he starts with a centre of the park that was always going to get overrun, and two wingers who can't beat a man. A left back in needed ASAP as Scott Stewart will never be one, for me it would have made much more sense having Stewart right midfield and Gold at left back. Disappointed after looking forward to this game, giving St. Mirren a miss but it would not surprise me if we go away and nick a 1-0 win.

Turan looks as bad as anything we have signed in the last couple years

I'm no wanting to sign him, just know him and sort of thought this season is do or die for him

Nah not for me. Think it’s thomo’s touch and he looks infront of the defender even though camera doesn’t catch him. The set up from Moore is excellent
Sounds like Moore going well this pre season?good to hear.

Looking forward to tonight, much more optimistic for the season ahead than I was a couple of weeks ago. Who says football fans are fickle eh

Rab had his usual column out in the courier the other day and it was very much written as if he was still here.
