We should be okay, but if one of the two bottom sides puts together a wee run then we're in trouble unless our form improves. Elvis goes over the top with it but anyone being realistic would have to agree we have been rank recently. I fear we could !ose every match from now until the end of the season. Hope I am wrong.

Rascal Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Surely we (SMFC) won’t finish up playing Arbroath in the Play Offs or in the Top League. Great little ground that it is, like Ayr’s Somerset Park, good for the occasional away day. How must Falkirk feel when they were refused promotion because Brockville wasn’t compliant ?!?

Too many draws but they could have been losses so it is what it is, sitting 2nd with only 6 games to play. Standing watching the game yesterday it did look like a decent crowd, just seen it was 1,700, pretty good, Ayr did bring a decent wee crowd but the great PR by the club, along with continued success, has certainly gripped the town. SIX more games to go, every one a "cup final". Really don't want to be involved in the play off's, I've said for years, they are unfair to the Championship teams with so many massive games squeezed into a short space of time. Anyhow, hospitality next week, 6 of us got a table, hope the weather is decent, dry at worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to try, it was my sons birthday on the 12th of this month, that's it, but, I must admit, when I was there last November I was "SURPRISED" how many people had a recent birthday.

Rascal Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Nice to see an even smaller team than the Buddies having a good run and getting local people on board. Is Dick Campbell Arbroath’s Alex Ferguson? How high can they go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team might add something to the top league in terms of novelty interest and the fish and chips might be good on the east coast but the ground. No way. Surprise package this season but in play offs would the beat either St Johnstone or Dundee? I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Ach, looking back, yesterday was disappointing, scored in the first minute, had some decent chances, Raith had next to nothing then the Arbroath goalie had a brainstorm, hesitated, and it was 1-1. Bad enough losing a goal but to gift them it like that was a real kick in the guts. Second half, pushing on but Raith, on the counter, scored two good goals, and it was all looking like I was witnessing the end of the dream then.................. More through guts and determination Arbroath hammered the Raith goal, got 2 goals and still about 15-20 mins to go, could they really win, well, no but it was a thriller. As I mentioned the Raith support were excellent, the Arbroath support were down then up and the general feeling at the end was disappointed but not out of it. After the game Dick Campbell was honest as usual, "goalies, what a bunch, it's not rocket science but these things happen, just wish it wasn't to us" Chances are the title is out of Arbroath's grasp, slight hope is that Kilmarnock still have to play Inverness, who have picked up but it's a hard task. 13 draws this season for Arbroath, tells it's own story. 5 games to go, second last game away to Kilmarnock, what a season.

faraway saint Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) A hilarious moment yesterday when a Raith player slid off the park straight into Ian Campbell, wiping him right down and out. Both Ian and the Raith player took it in good humour, as did Dick, a nice moment of light relief in a tense second half.

Rascal Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 A nice wee bedtime story. A fairy story that might even come true and this team finishes up spending a year in the top league. Unlikely but possible. Only ever seen them on TV, never the best way to judge. They seem organised, hard working and resilient with a decent set of journeyman pros. The ground though makes Ayr’s Somerset Park look like the San Siri by comparison. Unfit for the top league and visiting supports that would bring in much the same way as Brockville was found not to meet modern standards.
