Bridie Vision

That is bizarre! Guess we will have to wait to see if a loan does come in to take his spot. Talking of loans any more rumours on the supposedly Aberdeen striker we were looking at?

It's a shame that we need at least a draw to guarentee qualifying despite having a 100% winning record in the group right now - which is better than St Mirren I hasten to add! The problem is that if St Mirren win they'll have a better Goal Difference than us (as we both have +4 right now) We'll give a good account of ourselves no doubt and I think a draw is definitely doable but I do think the Buddies will probably just edge it. Hope I'm wrong! I believe it is our first time at that stadium.

Who's off to Paisley today?

Looks like the person who makes the highlights had the same thought as you.

Here's the highlights for anyone who hasn't yet watched the brilliant game!

Absolutely tremendous! Not much else to say. Best local derby victory I've seen for a long, long time.

The problem was Morrison and Bird were as bad as each other. Playing on was probably the correct option, otherwise who would he give the foul to? Contested drop ball on the edge of our box, unlikely.

Cameron Blacklock has signed for us tonight (#12 trialist - I think) he's a LM so will likely be competition to Brindley at LWB.

Totally agree. If I'm fortunate to have children they can support any team except the Auld Firm (but Forfar will be encouraged ) Should be a great crowd tonight and it's great to see us Loons feeling positive about playing the Lichties. Something we've not had for probably 4 or 5 years.

That's an interesting question. I think due to recent history (L2 title fight, Arbroath's promotion to championship, Dick Campbell and when he pinched our top players) we probably do have a fair amount of beef with you guys. However, historically I'd say Brechin as our biggest rival. I guess for Arbroath fans. Montrose will be your biggest rivalry.

I've noticed Brechin have followed suit with Forfar and renamed their ground to the Carnegie Stadium at Glebe Park.

The current generation of shirts are tighter than before. The last shirt I bought was the gold away so not bought for awhile.

Whilst I guess that is true, the fact that Brindley, Whyte, Hutchinson, Moore, Robson and Watson all (basically) joined us immediately after their loan spell finished. I kind of see it as just a continuation of their first spell.

Well you're definitely the no 1 Loons poster in Thailand Glad to meet (virtually) a Loon from outside Angus.

Looked really good against Montrose and the kit looks good to me too. Nice seeing it in the flesh. Highlights!

Whispers are that it's a lad from Aberdeen. Don't know any names though.

So far so good! A good performance. We're on top of Montrose and the 3-4-3 is working nicely. More of the same please Forfar.

He already was on the SPFL board but has been reelected. I'm sure he'd like Mr Doncaster's job one day.

With Montrose grabbing a surprise victory on Saturday against top seeds St Mirren. Does that change anyone's prediction for tomorrow's match and how our group will pan out? Personally, I would've guessed a draw tomorrow and whilst I think we still can. I'm less confident. As for the group, doesn't change in my opinion as I don't think we'd make it out of the group.

Highlights are out:

Skelly could've had a hatrick today, very unlucky to not even get one! Inglis is class, and I agree Moore seems so much freer now he hasn't got Slater to compete with. Nditi looked better as a RWB (as does Brindley at LWB) so I do think the 3/5 defence is better for us this season. All our CBs are vocal and impressive so we should have the strongest defence in L2. We desperately need more options up top, can't put it all on Skelly as he will likely get injured from his hard work.

Station Park is famous for bridies and bad Stewarding. Nothing new there.

I think it's cool. Wait to see it in the flesh to see if that changes my opinion. But there's hope if Pendle do, do bespoke now. That I think is the biggest pleaser.

I think the livestreaming stuff got too expensive with not enough return so they canned it. It'll just be the highlights on YouTube now.

Now they've announced the stadium naming news: https://www.forfarathletic.co.uk/item/5493-alpha-projects-and-forfar-athletic-agree-new-sponsorship-deal
