  1. This is the final piece of the puzzle. We have a solid side by all accounts and look like we’ve got strength and depth too. But agree with this, would like to see McKenna moved into the middle of the park and a striker signed. Young Shanks done well when he come on but him and McKenna chances are the ones you need to take to win games in this division. By the results so far you can already see how tight the league is going to be 

    If we had Nouble and Jack Hamilton or Dowds we’d be strong title contenders. Nothing much has changed. We’ve strengthened a bit apart from the much needed loan strikers. Please.
  2. 1300 season tickets sold…….and the majority on LD’s back today. At one point he took the ball down, sprayed it out to Hancock and there were still morons in our support slating him. Absolute helmets. Wrong pass apparently. 
     
    Poor game overall but thought we were the better side. If Fosu cuts out that diving nonsense then he could be a real asset. Hamilton superb today and Low controlled the midfield l. Thought Dick got the subs wrong today  as well 

    I didn’t think he dived. Not a penalty but not a dive.
  3. Checked their site and found there is no seats available in the stand for away fans and this only Tuesday, there's no fuckin way I'm going to stand, in this day and age, on the grass terracing in the pishing rain and howling wind for £20.
    So that's a loss for them.
    Arbroath fans come up to Inverness get a covered seat have full access to our stadium bar and we're expected to go there and accept 1950's type football infrastructure, we've moved on since then.
     

    There’s no grass terracing. All the terracing is covered. The forecast is for 17C. Glad you’re not coming.
    Edit: I checked. There are plenty of stand tickets available for away fans. Havering.
  4. Exactly. If anyone things we played constant swashbuckling football last season, easing past everyone we played, then they’re deluded. We had many games where we ground out a win or a draw even with Nouble etc playing.
    Personally I’m delighted with a point after a poor performance and some loans still to come in. The bottom line is, we’re a point better off than we were at this stage last season.

    39 points to go.
  5. https://www.arbroathfc.co.uk/ppv-and-streaming/
     
    The live streaming of League matches in the UK & Ireland is not currently permitted in Season 2022/23.
    Supporters will recall that streaming was introduced (with the consent of Sky Sports) to allow supporters to watch matches when they were not able to attend in person due to Government restrictions for the pandemic.
    That clearly is not the case anymore. However, the SPFL recognise this has been a valuable income stream for clubs and they are continuing discussions with Sky.
    It is clear that, as already advised, (a) blocked hours will be in place this season (meaning no streaming from 2.45pm to 5.15pm on Saturdays); and (b) virtual season tickets will not be permitted.
    Unfortunately this means we will only be able to offer Arbroath FC TV this season to overseas supporters.
     
    So it looks like we will offer an international stream, but that it won't be valid with season tickets?  So pay per view outside the UK only?
     

    Makes sense.
  6. I had a young American staying with me last summer while he tried to get a gig in Scotland.  He trained with Arbroath a few times.   I tried to tell him he'd never get a work permit before he even came over.  Have you ever tried telling an American something they don't want to hear?  
    Anyway, not why I looked in.  I was just wondering if you'd let us clone Dick and Ian Campbell?  Just asking.

    I don’t think the world is ready for 4 Campbell twins, but post-Brexit it’s no doubt legal.
  7. Am I missing something? We have sailed through our group winning every game and only lost 1 goal. Into the last 16 in total cruise control. 
     
    We need to bring a striker in, I have listened to Campbell say in at least 3 interviews that this will probably be a loan player and will come in august. 
     
    Actually buzzing for the league to start. We’re going to be a hard team to beat again.

    8 different scorers in our League Cup games. That’s how we thrive.
  8. Complain when they dont score, and when they do its because they were easy goals 🤣
     
    Noones the answer up top, we dont play a game to suit most strikers, for a start there is zero support for any striker, and even if you do have someone like Nouble, he scores next to no goals as 1 striker against 4-5 bodies week in week out. 
     
    But since you talk like your Lewandowski give DC a call and lets see your fat arse run about doing any better. Give ( us all ) a real laugh.

    Pretty harsh. No league goals in the last 2 seasons for Donnelly. Saying he’s not the answer as a striker is hardly controversial.
  9. I also don't live in Arbroath. Last season they had a desk outside the ground with tickets to be collected, think it was at the Kelty cup game I collected mine. I assumed they would do similar this season, I can't go on Wednesday but thought I could collect mine on Saturday.

    I had mine mailed to me last season.
  10. Won’t get an easier win then that all season. In cruise control all evening. Dylan Patterson my man of the match. Looked very dangerous out wide. 
     
    I do feel we need defensive cover in ASAP. Always the worry of TOB/Ricky/Hammy/JT picking up a knock in a meaningless game. I understand we have Goldy to slot in at FB but a proper defender on the bench would be good. 

    I agree - Dylan was my mom too. Bobby was excellent in the first half. All 4 of our central midfielders played very well. The back four looked like Rolls Royces against that lot. All you can say about Cammy Gill from that match is that he looks confident and his distribution is good.
    I also agree about defensive cover - that’s why I was gutted at losing Henderson. But that’s the problem isn’t it? If you sign a quality defender they’ll want to play, and not on the left wing.
    And Luke scores another good League Cup goal. Here’s hoping…
