Bridie Vision Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I wanted a cracking match, and whilst it wasn't an epic it certainly had everything. A red card (daft of McGeever) Two penalties, that shouldn't have been (Forfar's was definitely outside the box, and Dumbarton's one is reason unknown) A guy going mental (Ally being a grumpy wee man, surprised he wasn't dismissed after squaring up to the ref) A steward chasing a fan (I agree with previous poster, Benny Hill music required!) Also Stef doing a now obligatory Forfar thing of hitting every post without it going in (don't forget Matty taking 2 seconds to tee up a shot at what was an open goal until he delayed it) Three points, pulls up up the table in what is a fascinating and tight league (we're 1 point off 4th and 5 points off bottom). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Well done to @Strongbow392001 @C_titz @lwh @son hawk @terracingtam @nofixedability @Zanetti @shortjock @SlipperyP @Matty-RCFC and @squeezebox-son for correctly predicting a win for the Loons. Normally @Jan Vojáček votes against Dumbarton but didn't this week so I'm laying the blame at his door for our first defeat in three months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 The better team won yesterday, full stop, but I can I just point out to some hyperventilating Loons fans that you were playing ten men for almost eighty minutes. At our level that length of time is a tough shift. As for Dumbarton, injuries and suspensions were eventually going to impact our season. The former we can do little about but the number of stupid bookings is a huge problem. Love, McKee and Carswell (who I think is now suspended) didn't help yesterday. The takeaway from this game is that Forfar are steadily improving under McKinnon without being brilliant, whilst Dumbarton may well now struggle to remain top, especially with a lack of physicality in midfield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, you don’t realise the shit we have had to watch for a couple of years before this wee purple patch.

So based on that I'd say the ref probably got it correct. The defending for our two goals is straight out of last season. Absolutely woeful from Carsy for the first, and Lynas totally loses the winger for that one. He's not got a clue he's there. Our one is very soft, and very similar to the one Killie didn't get last night. I suppose there's always a risk when you've got your arms around a player, but 99 times out of 100 they aren't given. And if the game is 1-1 at that point then there's not a chance he points to the spot imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what happened as one of them just needs to deal with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be more understandable to give the other one if the ball was gonna drop right on his head but it sails right out the other side. It’s really soft but his arms are wrapped around him Edited January 15, 2023 by lwh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
