keptie Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 4 minutes ago, ExiledLichtie said: When played wide, he was always more of wide midfielder than a winger. Thats why he didnt bomb forward or have as many shots as someone like Linn. It worked for us as it gave us balance when we played someone more attacking like Linn or Hylton (or Hilson or Turan) on the other wing. On occasions where McKenna was injured he did get a chance in the centre, and he always did well there, but obviously, you're always going to have McKenna there as first choice. Clearly didn't work for us, we were guff for 2 seasons 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledLichtie Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 6 minutes ago, keptie said: Clearly didn't work for us, we were guff for 2 seasons It would have been a bold call to drop McKenna and play Dow there instead. I don't recall anyone calling for that. McKenna would play wide on occasion but was never as effective there. I also note that last week we had people calling for Gallagher to play on the left, which I found very odd. Anyway, be careful, you don't want to be accused of "negativity" by saying we weren't very good for the last couple of seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.K. Barr Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Scott Stewart was unplayable yesterday, such a powerful and direct runner. 100x better off having him up the park, what a waste at RB. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoundO Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 So we’ve let Hemphrey go on loan to Clyde and signed McConnell as a backup keeper. Seems very sensible. Again I’m a bit nonplussed that I have to impersonate Sherlock Holmes to find this out. I do not use Facebook. No mention on WhatsApp, X or the club website. I’m sure the social media team are wonderful, but cmon lads. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broath Boy Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 The real reason we won yesterday, we got to swap ends at half time, we should use this to our advantage going forward for 90% of our home matches this season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Right folks, I've had an idea going through my head in the past few months that I'm hoping to get some input on from others and to begin to push things forward.... Essentially, I want to collate the memories of our fans into the one place. This could be something as simple as a website, a book ('Arbroath FC Post WW2 - As Told By The Fans') type thing or something in between. If peoples memories are collated properly - then it should be possible to use them to do both of the above ideas and others all through having the one questionaire/ conversation type thing. Hypothetically, I could basically get 100 fans to answer 20 odd questions, if they are the right people and the right questions, then you get a huge spread of memories and answers relating to the club over the past 70 odd years. The Arbroath Archive gives us the facts when it comes to our history, but it doesn't give us the first hand accounts of people who were there and who can potentially unlock stories/ memories/ things that haven't been recorded elsewhere. It simply doesn't record emotion, which is a huge part of being a football fan who supports a team through their entire life. There's no point whatsoever in me creating something that I think is a good idea and with only my own input - it has to be something that would be wanted and enjoyed by others and it has to be thought through before starting out, which means getting ideas/ feedback from people outwith the voices in my own head So.... give me your thoughts please, folks Is there something in the above? Is a book a silly idea? Is collating peoples memories on AFC on some website online a waste of time? What sort of questions would you ask your own fans? If anyone thinks this sounds like the sort of project they could help out with, I'm also very open to that.... it'd be good to have someone with a bit of intelligence involved 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
