Shelldon Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 7.30 kick off. Hopefully Aberdeen bring a decent squad and a decent support down with them Think it will be close to first team with them having Europe league so soon after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie95 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Think it will be close to first team with them having Europe league so soon after. On our Facebook it says that it will be the first team as it will provide a warm up for the europa league game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 On our Facebook it says that it will be the first team as it will provide a warm up for the europa league game! I mind the last time they sent a team to warm up for the qualifiers. Just put the 7 past us that day. I spoke to Mark Whately about it, he had literally got off a plane from Ibiza the day before and spent the game chasing Barry Robson 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty steady most games, but did flap at the ball and contribute to 3 goals that I can think of in the last few games (Annan and Forfar away, plus Elgin at home). Plus his kicking was very often crap. I lost count of the amount of drop kicks he put well into touch because he didn't account for the wind. I don't mean to knock him as he was far better than Mutch and Fleming before him, but I think your 95% faultless comment is being overly generous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elgin and Jaseem Sukar both scored screamers. Again, Annan is very harsh. The only notable mistake was the one against Forfar, had a few flaps that haven't come to anything but you won't get a keeper at this level who doesn't make the odd mistake. On your last point, blame the weather, not him, every keeper in the league does that because of the wind at Gayfield. His distribution was fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecto Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Jamie Henry was sent off after collecting a second booking for kicking the ball away while we were losing. Inexcusable, regardless of age. I'd like to see us look to start next season with the following: Keeper - Ricky Gomes Left back- Hammy/ new LB Centre back - Hammy/ new CB Centre back - Ricky Little Right back- Davie Gold Sitting mid - Tam O'Brien Sitting mid - Mark Whatley Freeish role in the middle - Ryan McCord Left winger - Danny Denholm Right winger - Bobby Linn Striker - Stevie Doris I don't think we can look to play Pongo in the middle as part of a 2 as is massively restricts him and is detrimental in various other ways. This looks good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelldon Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 So Montrose, Ross County, Hibs and Alloa for our league cup group. Not the best, thought group C looked cracking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanarkshire_lichtie Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Group D it is along with Ross county, hibs, Alloa and Montrose. Think I would have preferred Group C 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 The formats is a complete joke, it will really stretch us again. Montrose and Alloa games should provide a real test ahead of the league 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokerson Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 really not a fan of it, maybe a good money spinner, but we can't play trialists and won't get loans until august so it's very tricky and stretches the squad, Bring it on though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't Elgin, it was Edinburgh when he should have caught it instead of trying to be a volleyball player. At Annan he made a save that he should have caught and pushed it straight to their incoming striker. Blame the weather!!? Not that old, old excuse again. Weather happens. Gayfield weather happens more than mist places and can change several times in a game. But the Arbroath keeper plays (or at least warms up and experiences it) 19+ times a season, whereas opposition keepers only get it twice. It is not beyond even the most intellectually challenged to see which way the wind is blowing and realise that if it is going from your left to right strongly, then kicking it close to the right touchline will mean it will catch on the wind and go out. As I said before, I am not knocking him, just think that your crush on him seems to be clouding your view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.K. Barr Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Just hoping for Dingwall away. Get another ground ticked off the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFC360PUNK1320 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Was hoping we would get DUFC in our group as the last time i seen the Red Lichties play them at Tannadice in a competitive game was in the cup in the early 80's and Frank Kopel was playing for us in all white kit with maroon trim. But Hibs away on a Saturday would be good. I'd like to see us look to start next season with the following (up to now only signed players less Gomes): Keeper - Ricky Gomes (who is David Crawford with now was he at Stenny last year?) Left back- Hammy Centre back - Tam O'Brien Centre back - Ricky Little Right back- Davie Gold Wide Left - Danny Denholm Sitting mid - Mark Whatley Freeish role in the middle - Ryan McCord Wide Right - Bobby Linn Striker - Stevie Doris Striker - Bryan Prunty/Josh Skelly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw that would make him 92% faultless considering we conceded 36, so not far off.I do not have a crush on him. It's perfectly acceptable to blame the weather when it's bad at Gayfield. Not that I've ever thought there was a problem with his distribution anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
