port-ton Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Have Stranraer fans always been a bunch of raving lunatics or is this a new thing? I've never noticed them before in all my years on here but they make the junior team's fans on here seem like normal, down to earth people.

Ira Gaines Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well, I did notice that now that Morton are, for now, back in contention.... their posters are no longer blubbing about what a shite league it is. I don't tend to bring it up unless someone decides it's a good idea to try and say otherwise, and do so to have a go at people who, rightly, call the league shite. If people didn't continually say it's a good league, you probably wouldn't see it brought up as often as it has been. As for this game, I reckon we might sneak this one, but I'm not sure where I'm getting this from. I trust my gut though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Well, I did notice that now that Morton are, for now, back in contention.... their posters are no longer blubbing about what a shite league it is. No one was blubbing about it being a shite league, they were just pointing out that it is. That doesn't mean that Stranraer and Forfar haven't had good seasons - they're both better teams than Morton - but be honest here, when was the last time teams of our standard would have been close to winning the league? Are any of these sides close to the standard of say, Cowdenbeath in 11/12 or even Stirling in 09/10? Acknowledging that the standard of the league is poorer than it has been in the past doesn't detract from the excellent jobs Stevie Aitken and Dick Campbell have done. It's simply an honest appraisal of the standard and it isn't indicative of arrogance when you acknowledge that your own team is shite too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 McInally's league winning team would have fucked this league rotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 And aye, you can't really use the standard of the league to detract from what Forfar and Stranraer have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that in some cases, we aren't happy with our players. We'll need to do a bit of a clear out if we get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If Morton manage to go up either by winning it or winning play off how do you rate your chances of staying in the championship? Only thing saving us would be the number of part time teams in the league, but we've proven already in the past two seasons that part time teams like to make us their bitches. This squad of players we have right now could just about survive in the championship, but with Duffy in charge there's not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season Id like to see a 4-3-3/4-5-1: Gaston New O'Ware Lamie/New New Tidser New Holding CM Forbes New Peaso Russell I'd keep Caldwell and McManus if possible, along with Pepper, and Scullion. We'd need to sign a few experienced players and ideally an experienced CM to play in between Tidser and Forbes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
port-ton Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 What teams are part time in the championship ,Cowdenbeath and Alloa ? Dumbarton aswell. All three finished comfortably above us last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podlie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Morton to be 1-0 up with 20mins left, Duffy brings on a striker, rearranges team and you loose 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 If this squad was in the Championship managed by Duffy we'd have less points than we did last season. We need major strengthening of the squad as well as a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 It'll be interesting to see Stranraer's tactics on Saturday. We play well when teams come out and attack us - Dunfermline 4-0 game is a perfect example. But we really struggle to break teams down who sit in and try to counter.

We need major strengthening of the squad as well as a new manager. Last season's squad was more talented than this season's squad. This season's squad has amazing heart and never say die attitude, while last season's squad were absolutely pathetic in that sense. I prefer this season's squad to last seasons, but i can't help but feel that last season's squad under Kenny Shiels would have romped this league, and i say that as someone who hated just about every single player we had last season, and wasn't impressed with Shiels from his very first interview and nothing improved as time went on.
