  1. I heard Christison, a man who'd run the club with fiscal prudence as his main priority, had actually been ousted rather than retiring because of this.
  2. I just said I was a student when I got my season ticket, no questions were asked.
  3. I just think we owe Todd a great deal of gratitude for keeping the likes of Little, Whatley, Linn and Gold (the core of our team) at the club.
  4. Are we really going to give Campbell that much credit for Gold ending up at right back? Let's look at what really happened. He tried Dunlop, Little and Whatley despite having an actual right back in Thomson (who wasn't up to scratch) Dunlop was too slow and cumbersome, Little being out there destabilised the centre of defence and Whatley was a shadow of the full-back he was 2 years ago and also weakened the midfield. Surely the next logical choice would be the guy that played right-back regularly when he was learning the game at Hibs? That guy then has a great half up at Elgin then doesn't get picked there for about the next 6 games, until after Whatley had a holocaust of a game in Edinburgh. As for Hodge, when Sukar was the previous answer, I think everyone was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. Most fans would have preferred Phillips to Sukar. There was also a fair shout for Smyth to come in and move Hammy to left back but I think breaking up the partnership wouldn't have been the right choice. A good centre-back pairing can accommodate a weak full-back, it doesn't happen the opposite way.
  5. The stats probably didn't take into account that many of the players that get injuries on astro are as a result of poor preparation (wearing bladed studs, for example). If there are players that refuse to play on the surface, it's all the more reason to get one installed as it will bring a competitive advantage. This is down to the fact we would obviously not sign them but other clubs may, but they wouldn't be able to play in half of the games against us.
  6. The 4-3-2-1 worked with Hodge at left back in Berwick. Malin came in to midfield and strolled it.
  7. You're right he wasn't. It wasn't even deemed worthy of trying, such was the lack of substantial evidence. Definitely not fact.
  8. Turn up the microphone so you can hear the choice language of Lichtie23. Need an 18+ certification, right enough.
  9. Going by his patter, I thought he was always pished.
  10. I agree, abuse isn't good for players, particularly during the 90 minutes which is why I never scream abuse at the matches or hound players on twitter. By the way, I never said he was a shite player, I said he's been playing shite. Giving them praise for such poor performances isn't on either though. Imagine if every one of our fans were like you and all were saying Ferns has 'only had 2 bad games' and Ferns read that. What would he think? I know what I'd be thinking and it'd be along the lines of; 'I've been shite in my last 4 games but the fans thought 2 of them were acceptable? How bad a player must they think I am and how low are the expectations of me and their club? Oh well, at least I'll be able to coast my way through the season if this is an acceptable standard.'
  11. 'There's clearly a player in there' Time for bed, I think.
  12. He was utterly pish against Forfar, he doesn't escape that because others were too. Your defence of him is mind-boggling.
  13. 'Ferns has played 2 bad games' Must be at the wind up.
  14. Bray would be OK. Sligo, I can imagine, is rough. Don't think my hips could take it.
  15. Especially if you enjoy a line or two. Seriously, Brucefield B&B is the best bet, but it isn't cheap.
  16. So Sukar is a doubt and Thomson is potentially moving to Dundonald? That's fucking marvellous. It's over. Well done, Forfar.
