Evening all,
Happy to report that’s me back from Lochee having met Bobby Linn. What a gentleman, one of the loveliest guys I could’ve wished to ever have on the podcast. Cracking wee set up at Thomson’s Park if you haven’t seen it already.
That’s a man that loves your club alright, he got a wee bit emotional talking about the Killie and Caley Thistle games in particular. You’ll be interested to hear about his relationship with Dick, we even got his Arbroath 5-a-side in to finish it all off. All in all, one of the best chats I’ve had, really laid back but authentic. I hope you’re looking forward to it, I’ll share it here when it’s good to go!
I’ll probably get my Montrose Supporters Club membership revoked for this, but Bobby Linn seems like a top man. Bumped in to him a few times at an old job in Dundee and always got a good wee chat about the football. Not at all surprised that you enjoyed interviewing him and I’ll certainly give it a listen when it’s uploaded.
He’s still a smokie b*****d.

I actually quite like @Francesc Fabregas but still get it right up you!! I was unfortunately not able to make the game but did take in Dundee North End vs Scone, it was strange not giving Grant Adam pelters all day.

I'm sure Letham are playing East Cragie in Dundee on Saturday. Another option for you.
They are. Dundee St James are also playing Arbroath Vics, however North End is a 20 minute walk from the Mrs’ gaff, the others are closer to the hour mark and I’m not ready for that level of commitment. I usually go and watch Dundee Violet if circumstances allow for it which is a nice 5 minute walk but they’re away from home so no such luck this week.

Once again I find myself in Dundee with nothing to do whilst the good lady is at work on Saturday. With Dundee Violet and both Lochee teams being away from home, Dundee North End is looking to be my likely destination. Is there a bar at the ground or anywhere in particular nearby I should head to for a pre match tipple? Or since I’ll be walking past it anyway and only having a couple, am I best off just nipping in to The Glens?

We will go 1-0 down within 20 minutes and it will be game over.
How many shots on the Montrose goal do you think we will have during the entire game?
I'm going for 2.
Got tonight’s lottery numbers by any chance?

Thought it was quite a good game today at the Greenversity. 2 mid table teams battled it out well.

Can slag Arbroath for a lot of things right now but not for the home crowd today all things considered
Easy bite though wasn’t it: Karaoke in the central??

2040 there - probably 1700 home fans - dunno why you’ve taken that we were shooting towards you and everyone was at the side
On the game. Very poor. Should have had much more of that game the last half hour
Thought criticism and home fans singing you’re getting sacked in the morning to McIntyre was maybe a bit over the top considering. Very underwhelming match
You know exactly why I’ve taken that sir.

Arbroath fans think it was a half 5 kick off or something?

Aulay Martin and Rio Bradford both signed for Roselea on season long loans last week.

By this point losing just feels like routine and to be expected so if you don’t rub it in too much I’m sure you’ll be good for post match beverages.
If you enter the Station Bar pre match no shite music on jukebox allowed
My early train plan has changed so I’ll be sure to pop in by to stick a couple of quid worth of absolute stinkers on just for you

Star Bar after or will that be shut
Staying out in Arbroath for a bit I think so will likely be Central Bar for some karaoke.

10:32 train through for me. Montrose to win 36-0. Lucas Birnstingl off the bench as a striker to score them all.

Seems as good a place as any to ask this, any recommendations for a Thursday afternoon pint either Lochee or Strathmartine Road/Hilltown area, on my lonesome as the good lady will be at work. I’ll be about a 15 minute walk either way to either Kelly’s in Lochee or Frews on Strathmartine road so either area works for me. Or am I best just heading in to the town?
I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for an update on this, Frews, Athletic Bar, Halleys and Bowbridge were all fine. Made a rookie error and went in to The Hill Bar which was a f**king dive, wandered round to The Snug which I was also told was decent but was not impressed and then got a taxi to The Glens which I’m sure has the potential to be a shitehole but I seemed to have caught it on a good day. I’ll brave Lochee the next time.

As a visitor to Dundee myself for the last 30 years I'd go to Halleys.
Good pint and fairly normal clientele. Always have the Bowser as an alternative if you suddenly feel the need to live dangerously, sing on Karaoke, see an unauthorised strip show, get in fight or just wonder how the human race survives, unless it's been gentrified?
I was ideally looking for somewhere that didn’t require the wearing of a stab proof vest so this Bowser that you speak of may be a no.

Craig Batchelor rocked up anywhere yet? Seemed like a good lad but the step up to league 1 was just a bit too much for him.

Nice to get some updates on the injuries in the interview on YouTube. Kane given the all clear and should be back soon, Webster expected to be out for 5-6 weeks, Kerr Waddell to be back doing ball work in the next couple of weeks and wee Alex Balfour has another scan but should be given the go ahead in a couple of weeks.

Am actually not too fussed about this to be honest.Just a young lad still but didn't do enough for me,work rate was pretty poor for me thought he was quite slow.Wish him all the best though scored a couple good goals for Montrose i.e at Partick Thistle couple weekends ago.
Yeah I’m certainly not gonna lose any sleep, I actually had it in my head that he’d scored 2 or 3 goals off the bench last season but just the 1 against Alloa apparently. I still hope that we do plan on bringing in a 3rd proper striker, especially not knowing what’s going on with Hester and Webster.

Ben Hermiston sold to Deveronvale, surprised at that tbh. Thought he looked a decent enough prospect and would have got a reasonable amount of game time this season. Can only assume we have another striker lined up to come in now as although Lyons has done a job playing more centrally at times, he’s still very much not a striker.

More of a Glasgow/ West coast thing.
I had it in a pub in Montrose although admittedly the gentleman in question did have a west coast accent. When I told him I support Montrose (who play in blue) he insisted that Rangers must be my big team because I was wearing a blue jumper.

Montrose V Alloa
in Scottish League 1 General Chatter

Once again I will not be at the game, however I have managed to put a couple of hours aside to take in Dundee Violet vs Roselea in the Midlands League.
Montrose 1-1 Alloa is my prediction.
