Aye PPV is available for the match
How is the quality of your PPV stream before I invest 15 of my hard earned?

If there was any doubt about Ferguson being an utter idiot then it’s resolved now

Or you know, we’re just not very good and playing 5 at the back at home helped them?
I kind of get where he is coming from, perhaps he is trying to call them out and motivate them for the run in ?
But ultimately, if we are indeed relegated, it will be down to ourselves and our own results over the season, not if Arbroath " down tools" for the remainder.
Our problems have been a lot closer to home this year, (metaphorically and statistically).

Good Morning
How has young Keith Bray been getting on with you?
He certainly was showing great promise here before he was (surprisingly) loaned out to you.
Thanks

Roddy Macgregor is on the field, this is not a drill
Was the last time he was on the field also Hampden at the cup final??

Mostly injured.
That is a shame, for both you and him, although not wholly unexpected. Still a brilliant player on his day when fit.
Top bloke as well.

How has Wotherspoon been for you?
Didn't seem like he was playing or even on bench last night from the brief highlights I saw?

Is there any way to watch this match?
Currently sick, bored, it should have been on BBC Alba FFS!
Nach biodh e sgoinneil nam biodh e air!!!
Although as previously discussed, I would bet the croft on Sheridan coming back to haunt us....

Then there's the twist in that however good the player is the loser tag sticks and a possible move elsewhere results in less favourable financial contracts kick in.
Players now facing that possibility need to give things a good hard think.
No team will willingly sign a player with the relegation/loser tag round his neck.
Indeed.
Off the top of my head Gilmour and Longstaff have been relegated with Cove last season?
As much as Gilmour had been one of our more consistent performers, consecutive relegations would certainly not be a good look on any players résumé, although I'm not sure how involved either were for Cove last year if I'm honest, so perhaps I'm being unfair.
The manager himself may be headed for two clubs managed / two relegated - a remarkable achievement....
Has any one else in the modern game achieved this fête so early on in their managerial career ?

Actually we did play like that for the 10 or so games Wotherspoon played for us and the results mirrored that.
Correct.
I said it at the time that I was worried for us when Wotherspoon left and wasn't in anyway replaced, and so it has proved.
The football has been diabolical since then.
As much as he hasn't been as good as last season, Shaw at least tries to be direct and positive and I believe has been missed the last couple of games.
We're doomed....

We are fucked
Well and truly.
I'm beginning to suspect that Ferguson's wretched spell at Forest Green wasn't an outlier...

We could have played till tomorrow and wouldn't have scored...
Our home form is relegation material.
Very worrying.

Losing faith in Duncan a bit right now. Still think we have players who can do better, but the tactics aren't working.
The 2 new defenders don't necessarily weaken us at the back. But bring the ball forward a little quicker. That's one positive.
We're still lacking a creative outlet to get in behind defences. Relying on Samuel to just batter through. And neutralising Billy (our biggest goal threat by sitting deeper. He doesn't have the vision to be making the passes to break through defences. Neither does Shaw or long staff.
Just bring in Doran or Macgregor, play the 2 strikers high up, or both.
Not sure about Macalister yet. Didn't seem great. But give him a bit of a chance. People a bit better, can run with the ball and getting into good positions. Looked more likely to score than Samuel by the end
The boy McAllister looked completely lost after coming on I thought , game seemed to completely pass him by.
Not going to write him off by any means, but by the end of the game we were playing like what we are - a team of strangers thrown together.
Worrying times.

suspended. daft red last week.
If he stays fit he will be a great player for you. Big if though...
Glad he's not playing Saturday!
Should be a tight game.

It won't be easy but I do think it's possible. There's a new positivity about the place just now so we just need to plug on. Caley on Saturday will be interesting - shame Welsh will be out.
Is Welsh injured already ??

I think Carson is exactly the kind of player you’d want in a relegation scrap. In some of the dark days with Billy Dodds he would be the only Caley player putting a shift in.
He's the kind of player we should be keeping for our own relegation scrap, if it is Livingston's relegation scrap you are referring to?

The use of the word "character" seems to be used increasingly these days by coaches and pundits, almost as some sort of unquantifiable trait that some players and teams either do or do not possess.
"My team showed great character today" and such phrases seem meaningless to me, unless this indeed something that can be coached and is expected of players today??
To quote The Wolf - " Just because you are a character, doesn't mean you have character".

Chilokoa-Mullen played in every Euro qualifier for Scotland U21s which is a good pedigree. Savage came through the youth system at Liverpool then played with Dunc's son at Newcastle after signing for them for £250k
I'll be honest I'd never heard of him, but someone I know who works with the Scotland U21s speaks highly of him so fingers crossed he can bring something to the team.

Big Dunc is cooking
I really like Udjur I think he's been a great find, but I'd have Devine in there instead of him currently. He's been pretty steady recently.

There was a time when United wouldn’t be interested in a 33 year old player that St Johnstone didn’t think was worth offering a new contract to. As it is United fans appear delighted with their signing of Wotherspoon.
From what I witnessed last night and the last few months, said 33 year old walks into that team.
Granted you were missing some regulars last night I believe ?
Wotherspoon will be a brilliant addition to Utd, I would expect.

Sean Welsh has made the following league appearances for us since signing (including sub appearances):
2018/19 28 games out of 36 (78% of games)
2019/20 5 games out of 27 (18% of games)
2020/21 21 games out of 27 (78% of games)
2021/22 28 games out of 36 (78% of games)
2022/23 21 games out of 36 (58% of games)
2023/24 6 games out of 20 (30% of games)He did have a couple of seasons where he was relatively injury free but even those saw him miss some game time for knocks and niggles. He had a bad metatarsal injury in 2019 which saw him miss large chunks of the following season and the less said about the most recent two campaigns the better. I can see the logic in letting him move on but I am a little concerned about who we will be able to get in to replace him.
I agree with your sentiment.
His time with us was definitely coming to an end , but with him back to fitness and us being very much in the mire of a relegation dogfight, I might have expected him to be at least kept to the end of this season.

I have the fear we could be playing such 'low level outfits' on a weekly basis next season....
