A prescious and well deserved three points, Malks is building his own team and they looked good today, not a single failure today. Looking like a team with desire and belief.

No positive post from you?
I've not given up and never will, but what I will do is voice my concerns when we have charlatan as a manager, and that time is now.
Hope you enjoy the game. I will be giving them the best wishes as always by watching on teletext.
I did enjoy the game thank you and I left the positives to the team and the manager.
Malks is a charlatan? Do you care to qualify that statement please?

I'm all eyes. Please post something that will change my mindset on what is happening at the club. Over to you
You've given up, try supporting your club. And as for publicly admitting to being on tbs' side.... you need to tale a long hard look at yourself
At least the Kerr Hay Appreciation Society has doubled its membership

Clyde easy win and some of the Forfar poster to start to wake up.
Shambles, of a team and a shambles to be on @tbsouth side, however it's the truth. Sad times ahead.

Heard Arbroath after Hilson
I heard that too but Arbroath are not alone, Kelty Hearts supposedly sniffing about too. I'd be gutted if he went this month (or at all) but his contract is up in June so may be a pre contract deal in the offing. Hopefully Malks can persuade him to sign a new deal?
In other news, Rory McCallister signing for Cove Rangers is a great signing for us!

Gary Irvine man of the match? Must’ve been watching a different game
I thought Irvine had a great game but McCallum better, Forbes better still and Stanger best of all. I liked the way he played alongside Whyte, instant connection. Not a failure in the team today.

Travis out injured and Hilson getting a late fitness test does not bode well. Hopefully triumph in the face of adversity but likely not. I'll take a draw right now.

I more or less agree with this but would swap Denholm and Swankie around and have Coxy on the bench (instead of Andy Munro, I like Andy but not a stand out)

Right now I'd settle for a safe 8th with a few games to go then let Malcs look at who stays, who goes and and target who comes in to have a real go at season 2020/21. Possibilities of League 1 being more or less a part time division again next year.
However, I'd be more than happy for us to climb the division and continue to gain confidence that we are under the new gaffer and his management team. The best bit is the passion that's back in the team and the majority seemingly wanting to be there. Nothing against Jim Weir, I liked him, but it's plain to see the team spirit is back. Stalwarts like Travis and Bain stand out as guys who didn't look happy but still gave their all for JW now appear to be back to loving wearing the shirt.

The strip clash was ridiculous, as TBS pointed even the ref partially clashed too. It's not the first time involving Forfar and Stranraer. I remember a few years ago Stranraer turned up at Station Park with only their blue strips which was an obvious clash with us, the rule at the time being the away team played in their change strip. We ended up loaning them our yellow strip so all players were wearing a Forfar Athletic badge!

Had a few e-mails from Iain Reid the safety officer yesterday but it would be unfair to make them public on here. He has said he will check the cctv from Saturday & if need be have words with the stewards involved, seems a genuine enough guy, will see if there is any more word about it. I did mention that there were no Forfar fans involved young or old, the whole thing was something or nothing which could have easily been avoided with some common sense & less confrontational attitude from one of them.
He's either gained some people skills or treats away fans differently, the latter would be a reasonable guess. Sorry you had a less than satisfactory experience (result aside) at Station Park, don't judge the entire club based on Neanderthal jobsworth stewards. As you're no doubt aware by now the stewarding problem has been ongoing for a number of years now.

Have sent an e-mail to David McGregor outlining the stewarding shortcomings so will see if I get a reply. Did suggest if they really wanted to monitor the crowd get them to sit facing the crowd on a stool to keep them out of the way.
I complained a few years ago, got a reply from the the chairman at the time. Basically telling me what he thought I wanted to hear then passed me to the head of security who was an officious patronising little ****

"Happy days are here again.... "
So happy for Stuart, Foxy and Barry, always want us to win and a bit more so for any new manager but given that trio's history with the club I wanted it even more. Feeling positive.

The club puts on a free bus and certain disrespectful wee gits can't behave then try and blame the club and the bus organisers. Let them bin their season tickets, the club has their money now.
They need to remember that it's not just the players that represent the club, it's everyone who dons the colours. If they can't behave legally and respectfully then the club doesn't need them.
Back in the 80s and early 90s I was part of the "choir" behind the goal, we are largely still there, why? Simply because we created an atmosphere and generally behaved, youthful exuberance is normal but loutish behaviour isn't. There was a lot more of us back then too. Also, we didn't just sing The Bridie Dance, we danced it too!

These comments are not typical of all Mo fans. Whatever you think about Jim is personal of course but there is no doubt he is a 'football' man and he led Montrose to their first ever promotion play-off place which was in 2007/8.
Thankyou for that, some despicable comments from people hiding behind their keyboards. When Forfar hired him he wasn't who I would've picked but he grew on me and was still behind him despite our season going to hell in a handbasket. He's history now and I wish him well as not our worst manager by a long way. He may have been poor earlier in his managerial career for others but was a decent gaffer for us.
I wasn't at the game yesterday (wife working and one of my kids was unwell). Sounds like our confidence has taken a further knock, we need a manager who combines motivation and discipline to avoid relegation, can't believe I'm saying that in November.

When a Forfar manager win Manager of the Month it's always a kiss of death, let's hope Montrose suffer the same fate today.

Last time I was at Station Park was the day of 9/11, pretty sure steven craig scored for us that day. Was quite a surreal atmosphere that night.
What are the birdies like in the ground?
29 minutes ago, champions said: bloody auto correct
There's constant debate in the town as to who does the best bridies between Saddler and McLaren. They serve Saddler bridies at the pie shop in the ground, personally I like them but like McLaren's too. The best bridie I ever had was a McLaren's one but the worst I ever had was a McLaren's. I buy Saddlers, they are more consistent in quality in my opinion, they are more richly seasoned so not to everyone's taste. No doubt others will disagree with me.
However, the best are from Cameron's which is a fishmonger who do pies and bridies, they are the best but sell out early in the day (for good reason) and do a chicken bridie which is in effect a birdie bridie lol

I can't help but feel dejavue here. A good manager has a great season just missing out on promotion through the playoffs then losing some quality in the close season but start the new season with a couple of decent cup games and a spritely start to league before a bad spell and a loss of belief in the team. Just like the end of Dick's reign. I always thought Dick should have given longer but the chairman at the time had an ego and dispensed with him too soon. Our current chairman is a proper football guy who will understand things better and is far more of a gentleman and I believe will give Jim the chance to put things right. That is, of course, if Jim is up for the fight? He claimed in yesterday's post match interview he's a winner but he didn't look like he believed that, he looks defeated and broken.

It's been a long time since I left a match early but I did just after the third went in. Good to see Hilson back but when Bain and Coupe seemingly played so well recently and are both on the bench again you do have to start to doubt if Jim's time is nearing?

I agree Irvine was outstanding and a potential candidate for MOTM but Dorris edged him and finally seeing Kirky being the player we knew he was is the right decision. Not a failure today even boys not playing in their natural positions.
