A fair assessment all round VT, but ultimately still disappointing nonetheless given our tremendous mid-season form - especially the point at which a win would have taken us to 3rd above Partick. It felt like we were unstoppable and going like a steam train - but we then just brickwalled. But hey ho. Onwards and upwards to next season.

We've been wondering the same thing all season. He was highly regarded by Dees fans who were really looking forward to him going back to them fully fit after the serious leg break halfway through last season. The whole objective of him coming to Cappielow on loan was to get match-fit. But he's just been bang-average. No sign of the pace going forward that we thought he had - he's been just a bog-standard Championship defender who's only realistically in our starting XI because we don't have anyone else. A great disappointment. In his defence, that injury would have ended the careers of many players - it was a really bad one. I've actually wondered if he's subliminally avoiding getting stuck in through fear of another injury. Who knows. All the best for the playoffs.

35 years of hurt

It’s not the despair. The despair I can deal with. It’s the hope …. -
Arbroath v Morton - do we have to?
Chippyminton replied to RedLichtie86's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
Tedious dirge on the pitch - but a somewhat poignant visit to Gayfield for me today. I'll really miss it. Chatting to a few Lichties fans over a pint after the game, and their conscensus was that having the opportunity to press the 'reset' button and re-group over the summer is not necessarily a bad thing. The lads were all scunnered (obviously) but hopeful that the combination of having a fully-fit squad, along with some much-needed changes elsewhere will see a much stronger Arbroath side out on the pitch next season. Fair play to them for showing such optimism in the face of disappointment. All the best for next season. -
Scottish Championship Team of the season
Chippyminton replied to sr1867's topic in Scottish Championship General Chatter
The perfect illustration that stuff like this is more ‘A’ than ‘I’. -
Seems like the whole of the Championship support - plus a couple of League 1 supporters - plus a token Premiership supporter - have turned out en masse to gloat over our ignominious defeat at the hands of the imminent champions. I have to say that some of the contributions have been classic P&B comedy gold, and fair play to all those who've somehow managed to make me raise a smile amidst the general gloom and despondency. Next season will be better. Honest.

Aye? That's a bit rich coming from someone who shamelessly left a poor Morton supporter stood in an A77 layby holding a recently-purchased smoked sausage supper smothered in red sauce/tons of salt/gallons of vinegar, clutching a can of mega-sugar IrnBru 'Xtra-Diabetes-Heavy-Glesga-Limited-Edition'. And for an Ayr supporter, too. But since I'm a South Ayrshire resident and all-round solid no-bitterness laddie - I'll allow it. I look forward to both of our teams achieving our standard mid-table mediocrity next time around.

f**k only knows. It's hard to believe that the nucleus of the team we're watching right now is the same as the one who went 16 games unbeatren, who put Motherwell to the sword in the Cup, who gave 3rd-best-in-the-Premiership-Hearts a decent contest in the quarters, who put DUFC to the sword 2-3 at Tannadice, who annihilated Pars 0-5 at EEP etc. etc. etc. My only saving grace from this is that I don't feel as scunnered as my Lichties mates on here must feel. Fitba ......

@shizzlemanizzle Bought and paid for. Smoked sausage I assumed - along with non-diet full-sugar IB (true Scots). See you in 10 minutes before it goes cold. -

@Richey Edwards Love you too Keep up the good work. Your posts always raise a smile. PS - I also used to have an inferiority complex. But I came to terms with it when I finally realised that I was actually inferior. All the best. -

It only bypasses Maybole (and rightly so). Girvan is unscathed and untouched. See you in the chippy later. -

That's a pretty poor effort by your normally impeccable standards, mate. But everyone has an off night. -

Aye. He's so tactically astute, articulate and up-and-coming that he can't guide his team to beat a bunch of hammer-throwing, drug-addicted thugs from the arse end of Inverclyde, managed by an allegedly misogynistic headcase. Impressive. -

Aye? Let's discuss it in that lethal kebab shop at the corner of Heathfield Road. First one to contract Salmonella or Botulism loses.,
