Smokies & Wine 36-0. Maybe you're a youngster, I don't know, but I remember the last time we were relegated from Div 1 after a catastrophic season, poor signings, and we kept faith with the manager after it arguably wasn't his fault we were in such a terrible position. This has all happened before. Last time out, there was no sacking, Brownlie eventually resigned, continuity Steve Kirk was appointed and did terribly, and then relegation to league 2 happened a season later under Jim Weir. I'm not saying any of this will happen, but personally, I feel its much more likely to happen than promotion under present circumstances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My actual point was that most people were broadly happy with the recruitment last summer, although this seems to have been retconned by many. We signed good players. Some from outside Scotland, and some from the Scottish leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a long long long time ago and is not relevant in the slightest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) As an outsider, it appeared to me that it was a cacophony of issues which brought about such a disaster of a season involving the rot of Dick Campbell's reign setting in with questionable recruitment and personality clashes in the dressing room (thought that might be heavily weighed by my remembering of the Hylton-Bird bust up, when your two best players are fighting it ain't good). Thankfully though you've got a pretty clean slate for next season to recruit a new team under a manager who can build up his own team (even if it is McIntyre ) and already have two PCAs agreed for strikers who should be good for League One. The title would be a tremendously big ask given either Hamilton or Inverness will be in League One too, but I would be very surprised if Arbroath are outside of the play-offs come this time next season. Out of curiosity, I'm aware his time actually playing with you was limited, but how did you rate Charlie Reilly when he did play?

Cheers Looked dangerous and was playing very well against Airdrie before being crocked. Would be great to get him back for 3 months next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anotherlichtie Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Sorry to bang on about the “Awards night” again but has anyone seen the winners announced anywhere? Or are the run of the mill Arbroath supporter not privy to this information? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you in advance from the majority of the posters on here Makes you wonder why clubs even offer a streaming service. Its also weird that other threads on here are full of discussion about other games like European Cup games, where people who don't go to the game in person but watch it feel free to offer comment. Still, if it makes you feel like a better fan, then more power to you. Is that why you go on about the awards night? Do you think they are better fans than you because not only do they go to games, but unlike you, they bothered their arse to go to the awards night? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
