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.

You are correct as we have first friendly tomorrow and are still signing for squad. With glass half full at least it is a month or so before the actual league campaign starts, friendlies then League Cup to sort things out before important stuff begins.

Also lives locally, if Ray goes ( and let’s face it we all expected it sometime, just this was a hell of a time for it to happen) then McInally would be my first choice too.

Can’t really understand another centre half unless we are losing an existing one or going to be playing three at the back. The only positive to Munro up front would be he wouldn’t be in defence.

Dale Reid, who bangs them in on a regular basis for Carnoustie lives and works in Forfar. Doubt we've looked at him though.

Been missed but Forfar have signed midfielder Kieran Inglis ex of Brechin.

Where did I say either of those things? I said he was a terrible finisher, pair him with Swankie / Templeman or Baird/ Easton and he absolutely was an asset for us. Right now he would be a great signing for us ( but won’t be as going to Stirling). But he would still be a terrible finisher. To suggest that because someone should see a psychiatrist based on not sharing the same view on a football player is pretty strange. The need in this thread for posters to only look at old players (Hilson, McClean, Denholm, Milne all in the last couple of pages) I find strange and restrictive and doesn’t do players that do come in any favours. We signed two good players from League One yesterday but we are discussing guys that left and didn’t want to play for us ( which is absolute fair).

Does anyone actually remember how terrible Dale was in front of goal? Why the obsession with signing players that used to play for us ? Find it utterly bizarre.

Well done Annan, well deserved promotion.

He was a class act with us but you definitely winced every time he went down knowing his history. Should do well in the Championship.

Absolutely, his White Knighting and patting other teams on the head is beyond parody.
