Setting up at home as if we were playing Real Madrid can get in the bin. Five at the back , two holding midfielders and nothing even resembling a striker ( Watson was hopeless). Not an ideal start.

This x a billion. Gives me the boak every time I read it.

That third goal!

Thought we were excellent last night in all areas. Moore, as mentioned was tremendous given that is not his normal position. The difference when a team has an actual striker that competes and holds a ball up to them is night and day to what we were doing last season, you can tell the other players actually think the may get it back when the ball is played forward. Think it will come down to other results whether we qualify or not but whatever, the three games certainly suggest that we will be a completely different proposition this season and should be challenging at the top if we continue to perform as we have.

Can't see 8 points being enough unless, as you say, it's to top the group. Even 9 might miss out.

f**k no! Love a derby win but just enjoyed ones over Brechin more over the 30 odd years I’ve watched them.

It was always Brechin as main rival to me. Arbroath and Montrose derbies but never any real heat in them but just something about they hedge dwelling bast&rds!

It was, had a brain freeze, still thawing out from that day!

Will certainly be interesting to see how we do. Two seasons ago in the Scottish cup we couldn’t lay a glove on them and despite only 2-0 was a bit embarrassing. Be interesting to see Robson directly up against Slater too.

I’d have him play where he was tonight.

Excellent performance, strong at back, really nice play, especially first half, only worry is still not taking chances, game should have been over at half time.

Nah we are definitely 4 at the back so far. Look very neat and tidy, sharp passing and runs but very little cutting edge so far.

Not been announced as far as I know. It's £14 for League games so would imagine will be similar unless some deal is done with all the clubs for a lesser amount.

Thought we looked quite good, Moore and Allan most impressive for me. We do look awfully lightweight though.

Fair enough, but I think McKinnon will do a better job with these players than McInally would. Wasn’t an argument, was a question.

Swankie refused to play for us while under contract to force a move. In what way is McKinnon’s situation similar? If you believe the club they have an agreement he can speak to other clubs for a full time job ( quite rightly what right have we to restrict an employee trying to improve his job?) and he did so. For those that want him gone can you suggest who we get in?

Some Forfar fans.

Started well with us but the Irvine effect soon took over.

Understand that. And Morton fans disdain for him, but we are in a bit of a bind here, clearly moving towards a local based approach, clearly a bit hard up and losing manager literally as season is about to start. We have also just risked a couple of new manager appointments that have failed miserably and with the trapdoor looming below us this is no time for another punt. If there are other realistic options hopefully we will investigate, Weir might be better but something went wrong there beyond his accident last time while Price nearly took Elgin down despite having the best striker in the league. Also our Board will, in almost every instance, take the easy option. Of course McInally may not fancy the job at all..

Only getting worse with the likes of ‘ambitious’ clubs like Cove, Kelty, Bonnyrigg and Spartans with their one fan on P & B shtick.
