We know, not sure what will happen with him but him and McGlynn do like each other a lot and both from Musselburgh.LMAO this guy man
Not only doesn’t he go with stats
He doesn’t go to many games
`Yet can tell you how much McGlynn likes McKenna coz he met McKenna in a pub one night
Good player for sure is MM no denying that, but this they like each other a lot, is acting out one of your weird fantasy’s on here.

As an aside - I notice in the Stirling 1 Alloa 5 game today that Donnelly was an unused sub for Alloa and Hilson was subbed off for Greg Spence for Albion.
These are guys that have found their level yet Donnelly and Hilson were overly used by Campbell last season and the season before. Simply not good enough for the Championship and barely good enough for L1. Today is the result of 2 years of poor signings and over reliance on sub standard players…. As well as poor managerial decisions of course.
Is that the same Donnelly, who only played 1 game for us last season? Overused is a strange thing to say, given that he spent most of the season at Alloa.
Also, the same guy whos just come back after being injured for the past 8 months.
Same guy who plays centre midfield for Alloa? I know he was used as a lone striker, or out on the left wing with us.
Yes he played a big part in the so called big season of nearly being promoted, hard to say he was part of this relegation given he has been away for pretty much two years.
Think his second last game was that night in Kilmarnock, so how he is at fault for anything is odd.
As for Hilson, he has spent all of this season at Stirling Albion, and again, it is pretty difficult to say that he can take any blame for the relegation, as when these guys played for the club, we were not relegated.
I know you always had a little hard on for either of those guys, whether they were on the park or not, they were blamed, i seemed to recall you mouthing off about one of them, even though they were an unused sub haha
Whether they have found their level or not, or whether you understand whats going on in depth with their careers, they will be in the same league as us next year, so this whole " were on another level " when we are pretty much down seems very bizzare statement to make.
Whether you liked or rated those guys, or anyone else is down to your personal preference, but blaming folks who are not even players at the club in the season we went down is clutching at straws really.
Next up Todd Lumsden will somehow be to blame

When you leave, can you please take @Anotherlichtie, @Lichteeeeee and @glasgowlichtie23 with you?
That would be great, thanks.
Awww, another sore loser who can't take someone else's opinion.
Its weird how the oddballs come out in force when things are all going wrong, people ranting like they own the club, people calling directors criminals, people calling out our own players.
I'm glad as supporters, that the odd behaviour is in the minority, but for the odd few on here, its great entertainment.
What was it i said previously that you didnt like?
1. DC was a terrible manager and that he wouldnt change his tactics? ( I was right )
2. Was it the time i said there was bother in the dressing room, and 4-5 signed players left, i was called out and told there was no rift and that i was " havering " ( think again i was proven right )
3. Was it the time i said Noubles mates will not do, Dick said he was using Nouble and his contacts from down south to find players, this was in one of the local papers. ( I was right again all were pish and all gone now )
Maybe its the truth you dont like.
Whether i was right or wrong, people are allowed an opinion, and you will just have to suck it up if it doesnt fit with yours. But i think even a dummy like you would be able to tell, one of us was giving out the info, and one of us havers on here, shame your to thick to realise.

Why replace volunteers with paid staff when the output and service the fans get is worse - who signs off on that?
If we as fans are putting money into the club - and they have made additional funding opportunities for fans available too - we should know where it’s going - I’m not happy at the prospect of signing up to Always Arbroath when they’re paying some of these people to do a worse job than the volunteers and fans before them did - that can get to f**k
We are getting relegated and the revenue the club brings in will be significantly reduced - we cannot carry these positions and people when they’re worse than the volunteers the clubs driven away
It is winding me up something rotten
Many times do you want to repeat yourself ya diddy.
You would think you were funding the whole club, and not someone who pays a few hundred quid for a season tickets the way you whine.

2. Previous management dismissing players in L1 and L2 as not good enough to play for us.
Agree with everything you say 100%, what baffled me is when we went on our run to nearly being promoted, all signings were pretty much from league 1/2, Dicks initial successes with the club, is when he was grabbing guys from down the leagues, almost all of the team he put together in the first 4-5 years were players from those leagues and it worked well.
Not sure why he changed that approach, i know more cash came in etc, but it was working very well.

No sarcasm at all - simply pointing out that, in my opinion, a parent club loaning out a player cant force them to play. I simply can't think of a way they could do so?
You are 100% right
But then no-one will loan us any players if we want to be arseholes about it and we will sit bottom of the league, if there was ever a childish response it was this from Simon.
We can offer game time and experience to up and coming players from other clubs, why would be ever want to sit and say, what you going to do if we dont play them.

. I'm guessing you mean the car park at the stadium.
What else can someone say, Car Park at Asda in Toryglen and enjoy your walk, and lets hope you don’t have plantar faciatis .
Maybe Cathcart road, in any given legal parking space, and you can get a steak pie from the best chippy?
Or if your a lazy geezer as your question would suggest, right in the car park, oot side the main stand, row seven, space 14, just reserved for you, courtesy of the pie and bovril booking system

Why don't someone just ask Colin Hamilton at the next game or get in contact with a club official to pass on the question?
A noticed Rab Douglas mentioned the spitting incident in his article in the courier also,someone to reach out to him ask him maybe?
Ave spoke to Hammy, someone did do a big dirty groger on his reebok jacket
A wasnt a big DC fan, but some of our fans need put on a leash, i bet it was someone from Pie and Bovril who done it, they were calling him a fat bas and all that too, and i swear the guy shouting ya fat bas has had more cholesterol than the whole of the spartans crowd put together.

Another wild, crazy post, this is the first season we have really struggled with injuries, its a freak season, I would imagine we could look towards our physio situation, type of training, amount of training etc but it genuinely seems a freak for me. Injuries seem to have got even worse recently so cant be blamed on either management team.
The past few seasons I actually think our fitness, intensity and general work ethic was a major part in where we finished in the league.
I know for a fact that we have played quite a few bounce games against all sorts of opposition and would think McIntyre will continue this when everyone is back fit so the point about st johnstone is just made up nonsense. We're not some two bob outfit like you make it, club is run very professionally.
1. Its not really crazy and wild is it?
2. You most definitely have to look at the physio, type of training and amount of training, noone is blaming the new management, the old management did not train well at all. We didnt have a physio, id assume no other real specialists in injury rehab or prevention, but im the crazy and wild one for suggesting this, even though its all true.
3. Last season this intensity and work ethic nearly took us down, so what's your point? More of the same?
if your referring to the 1st half of the 21/22 season, sadly that was 2.5 years ago, we have spent that last 2.5 years being pumped on a regular basis. And you are happy for that to continue, because we are run professionally ( and im crazy and wild )
4. The point about St Johnstone isnt nonsense though is it? If your in the know, go and ask anyone how many times we have played St Johnstone over the last few seasons in bounce games. You wont though will you? But just to clear things up, given we train in perth, and St Johnstone are from perth, it would make perfect sense for that to be a viable bounce game which is why St Johnstone regularly play us in bouce games. Im not saying its the only team, but it has been regular.
5. No-one said we are a two bob outfit at all, we are playing in a league full of full time teams, and our training has been poor under DC hence why people will speculate that this may have played a part in the injury crisis.
Im sure the board and folks at the club are trying to run the club within their means, and budgets and doing all they can be as professional as possible. But i think only one of us is crazy and wild, and its no me.

Is there something you're doing in training that's contributing to the injuries? Or maybe more likely, something you're not doing in terms of injury prevention? I know you've got a part-time squad but maybe they should have a strength and conditioning program to do at home? Your situation seems so bad there's surely more to it than bad luck or coincidence. Best of luck going forward!
Training under the previous management was awful even for a part time team, at best an hour on the park and little to no real training, just shape work and shooting. Trying to compete with full times has always been a struggle, as you can imagine, DC, Pink and Big Rab are not exactly building up peoples fitness levels etc.
No real injury prevention happens, and recently advertised for a Physio on Instagram, which is laughable.
Coupled with the fact the the previous management didnt understand squad rotation, keeping players match fit and that type of thing, various people left with no minutes for 6 weeks at a time, to me it seems like mismanagement on all of the above has caused all of these problems.
But our own fans really do think its down to ( bad luck )
Were a part time club, previous regime treated it as such and were always going to struggle fitness-wise. We dont have a reserve team or anything to keep bodies fit, and play St Johnstone in about 8 bounce games per season to try and get minutes in legs now and then, but its a bit of a farce in all honesty .

It's an absolutely massive jump.
Given where we came from and the players we have, its fair to say the majority are league 1/2 standard.
59 minutes ago, SimonLichtie said:With 100 odd appearances in L1 or L2 to learn and adapt his game to the faster pace and sharpness and he could become a Championship player. This would be far better for his development than struggling most weeks for us in a struggling team. If he was playing in L1 or L2 right now and had made 22 appearances, there's no chance he'd not have contributed in terms of goals/ assists wherever he was.
So loan the boy out for 2-3 seasons to get those appearances you suggest, and he might come back a championship player lol
So because someone is 22, they need to go to league 1/2 play 100 games to get up to the Championship standard
Whilst i get the theory ( kind of ) we dont have time to wait around for 3 years for someone to come good.

Our current forwards are miles better than Hilson and Donnelly. Duds at this level.
League table would suggest otherwise eh
Funny how little weasels like you hate on certain players, even after they are long gone.
As I stated, neither Donnelly or Hilton played with an Arbroath team, rooted to the bottom of the table.
Jay Bird is a good player, as is Hylton both have played well.
But joint second bottom goalscorers as a team in the league, and firmly planted at the bottom of the table, I can’t see how you can argue that Donnelly or Hilsonplayed in a team rooted to the bottom of the table.
Your argument is a little flawed, you will be the same type of fan, who regularly complained that Scott Stewart was never a left back, its not like he asked to play there but he’s done well.
By the same way that 5ft 4 Dale Hilson was never a Lone striker going to hold the ball up and win Ariel duels.
The same way the midfielder or no 10 Donnelly who was repeatedly played as a target man when it wasn’t his game.
Next you will complain that an electrician is a shite plumber “ at this level “
There’s one dud, and its you

Absolute drivel - show me one post where this has been said ?
Have not read any posts from any Arbroath fans which have suggested we have one of the best squads in the league - prove me wrong and produce the quote or otherwise put a lid on it.
Clashy
Your posts are fucking drivel
Last year after one win, you said we would all eat humble pie when we won at Dundee in feb, regarding Dick Campbell, he’s long gone and you backed him at the time, guy has failed us in the last few years.
After one win the other week, you have said fringe players are great and one or two more signings and we will have a great squad, were rock bottom and that cannot be denied.
Its all good and well supporting your team, but the absolute drivel you talk about, does literally run out your mouth.
We are a fucking gang at present

ETA as 1320Lichtie says, perhaps he just needs a change of scene, setup etc. we had a guy play for us last season - Toyosi Olusanya, who was universally thought of as dreadful. This season he’s a regular and, by all accounts playing well for St Mirren who are 5th in the Premiership.
Think we are all safe in the knowledge that, not playing well for Arbroath isn’t solely based on someone being a bad player, more down to terrible management, poor tactics which in turn left us in our current predicament.
Says more about the management style than the players who come in. It’s no wonder we sit with no bench players, doesn’t take brains of Britain to see why people may be reluctant to loan to Arbroath.
Mon up to Arbroath, either sit on the bench of chase shadows all day long and taking a pumping weekly ain’t exactly good for the youth of today.

yeah Josh Campbell a very poor example, he didnt do anything at all during his time with us to think he would go on to do as well as he has. Whether he was playing in the right position or not.
I think all this gets totally over thought and over played, like most clubs we have had around a 50% success rate with loans, some work out, some don't. Mangers cant win, if we have 4 or 5 loans playing, everyone moans that "they are not our players" and then this season the moan is "why dont we have any fucking loans"
Need to get the balance right, lets hope mcintyre does this in Jan.
Josh Campbell is a bad example why? Because it doesnt suit your opinion?
He didnt do anything, as he wasnt given a chance to do so, do you think loan players are picked like some kind of pick n mix? One might be good and one might be rotten.
Id make the assumption Hibs know Josh well, they know his strengths and weaknesses, and this is then given to DC or any other manager, and they can agree whether they are a good fit for the team and style of play etc, DC was clearly just taking bodies, not giving a shit about their skills or trying to get the best out of them, and leaves them on a bench. There is a reason DC is now jobless, he struggles to get the best oout of his players and team, he got fired for it, so the proofs in the pudding.
Noone can be sat on a bench for 8 weeks at a time, then thrown in because of injuries and expect to be a one hit wonder.
But lets agree to your narative, Josh is a poor example ok
Your not telling me, of all the players we have had over DC's time in charge who havent performed are bad players?
Scott Allan ( clearly doesnt suit DC's tactics )
Neymars stunt double, didntt suit it
Bobby Linn didnt fit in
Seems that creative players dont fit in, and i think its quite clear that DC wouldnt change to utilise a lot of these people, he wanted to stick by the hoofball tactic and struggled.
And to add to the mix players from the 9th tier on trial and handing out contracts, didnt work well either between that, and leaving anyone with any creativity on your bench, it was never a recipe for success.
