There will be a natural parting of ways there at some point like there was with us and Dick and if the right time arrives where he is free and things are not going great here we should go out and make that happen - but unrealistic right now What a player Ricky has been for us. Club legend Looks like the end of an era, can't see Gaston staying. Pity that they were all denied a proper send off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am no sure it’s a blind hatred, very few of us would have picked him, I do concede Dick Campbell was in the same boat, but performances have deteriorated, his signings have been poor, the end of the season has been awful and we look a bit of a joke, I do not buy the “dead rubber” ,”players will be leaving” every game has to be played and competed professionally, I don’t think he’s the man, but I’ll be there come next season, heart filled with hope and excitement, whether he is the manager or not This is also my final take on it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His partnership with ToB has got to go down as one of our best defences ever. Right up there with Ian Stirling (taller version of Ricky) and Tam Cargill (the previous TOB) in the 60s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoundO Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Dick did a terrible job of managing for the future. Far too many of our players were over 30 and the youngsters he brought in were not ready to be regular starters and were ditched pretty quickly (as someone said earlier). A big clear out was inevitable at some point soon and relegation is an obvious trigger. Quite a challenge for McIntyre to manage in the coming weeks. Good luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Farewell Ricky. An immense and passionate player. Hall of Fame incoming. @SimonLichtie Can you work out how many miles he's put in for the club? Something to keep you occupied while away from this toxic place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo83 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Ricky little has been a tremendous player for you lot and will be a big miss for sure he would have strolled L1. Michael McKenna (if he is away) along with Bobby Linn used to be right up for the derby over the years and used to always turn up.Kinda feel now Arbroath have lost their fear factor about them with most off the old guard leaving now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
