cameron2000 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Paton and Bobby Barr would stay out wide in that lineup.Does Ballantine, basically one of our best players, miss out then? Defensively that would be a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super-son Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Does Ballantine, basically one of our best players, miss out then? Defensively that would be a disaster.He would yes but at the moment he seems to be injured and hasn't managed to get going yet. I wouldn't be against having Ballantyne on the right side though as he comes with a good attacking reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 3-5-2 would be ridiculous. As mentioned, you’d hope he’s only considering it as a Plan B for extreme situations, like an injury crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Scrotum Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Excuses at the ready. New Shirts for ‘Loons’ at Dumbarton Wednesday, 08 August 2018 09:37 Forfar Athletic have run into an early season hiccup with a couple of match officials and to be fair one of two players and fans having difficulty especially in sunlight distinguishing between our new home sky blue top and opponents in white. The man in the middle at the Montrose fixture in fact reported the scenario to the SPFL who then requested that Airdrieonians did not wear their white shirts on Saturday past. Consequently while the ‘Loons’ official second choice kit for the season will remain white shirts with navy shorts etc, the club have ordered up a set of navy/sky tops which will be worn with the white shorts and sky socks in at the very least the away games at Dumbarton and Airdrie to alleviate any problems.

Jan Vojáček Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Fully expecting Aidan Wilson to put in a prime Franco Baresi performance tomorrow. Cammy Ballantyne out again for us, which is a pest. I've ever confidence in Andy Little to slot in and do a solid job in his place, though I'd imagine Stevie will start Perry over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Really looking forward to the first home league game of the season. Good chance to make it 2 from 2 and give the home fans something to get behind. Would be great if we got a decent crowd and if the team could go some way towards getting the fans back onboard. A lot of the criticism last year was well deserved. Hopefully that can be turned around into well deserved praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitken won’t be sacked or walk, so it’s completely pointless (and far too early) to even contemplate it. A string of baffling decisions today. Bringing Beanie on for Loy as soon as we go 2-0 down (and keeping Hutton and Carswell on) was really the icing on the cake. It’s almost like sticking two fingers up to the fans and being obtuse for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
