lichtie23 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Things have got so bad I’d rather go Christmas shopping than travel 20 miles to watch the sort of football McPake is serving up. I will not be one of the 600.I find this attitude pretty shitty if I’m honest. Even when we were at the bottom of League 2 under Lumsden I still travelled the length and breadth of the country to watch us. Some horrendous afternoons/evenings in Berwick and Elgin were had. Suppose it’s what makes these days all the more sweet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 15 yards inside your own half if you have any chance of defending properly. When’s the last time Bobby Linn scored a hat trick? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Why are there not tickets for sale saturday at all for the Arbroath end?? If u havent bought ur ticket by tonight you cant go?? Thats a crazy decision, Fully agree have a cash gate, even if u put a limit on how many tickets are available if its got anything to do with numbers or the police Let's be honest how many people can be at Gayfield between 10 and 2 through the week? Very fewBasically there's been 3 hours (6-7pm x 3 nights) for the vast majority of people to be able to buy tickets. If you're unsure whether you can go until Saturday? Tough Anyway enough moaning about that from me. Looking forward to this game now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4d Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Last league game before this season was 6th May 1979 in Division one. This was a 14 team second tier when each team played each other 3 times. Arbroath won 2-0 at Dens. There’s been 2 league cup and 2 challenge cup games since then and the league game earlier this season. The 79 game was the last time Arbroath beat Dundee. Dundee won the league and got promoted, Arbroath were 10th. This was the last game of the season and Dundee’s only home defeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it’s what makes these days all the more sweet Every year I get a season ticket and go to all the home games but away days are discretionary. I’m seeing little effort from most of the players and the manager, so I really don’t see why the onus is on me to make an effort. I’m particularly fed up of watching McDaid getting the ball and running on the spot / doing a Riverdance type thing over the ball before passing the ball backwards. A constant starter under McPake as well. He’s assisted in only one more goal than penalties he’s given away this season in the league! A grim stat for a winger.

I think you will find that’s how away support works. When a team is doing well they have a bigger away support than when the team is not doing well. I could just lie and say that the reason I’m not going is because I don’t want to go to a coastal town that they forgot to close down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juantwothree Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I can honestly say I want arbroath to win tomorrow if it means mcpake gets the bullet. If we win he will more than likely be in charge for the derby and that's not cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about simply winning. I am fairly certain Dundee will win tomorrow. The issue is the quality of football, the style of football and the tactics being employed by McPake. I’ve been to Celtic Park and Ibrox on many occasions watching Dundee. Each time I’ve gone I was pretty certain we would get beat but I’ve gone because there was something about what was happening with the club that was exciting and positive.
