  1. Doesn't really show how much ground he covers, but even some of our strikers could put away these passes. Give him all the money from Shaw for 15 or 17 games.
  2. Roman is without a club now...watched some games last season. At 35 he is still fitter than many a midfielder in our league and undoubtably a far superior footballer than anyone we have had on the books since his brother or Mulumbu. Surely worth an enquiry. Seems he left Helsinki after Mixu at the end of the year.
  3. This is ignorant nonsense. If managed poorly diabetes can increase the chances of dying from some of the main causes of death in Scotland...cancer, heart disease, strokes. But it isn't the sole cause. I have type 1 diabetes. Although there was no medical involved in my employment, I am a fully insured volunteer crew member of the R.N.L.I (annual medical required). The tiredness ensued from diabetes is more mental than physical and comes from mundane tasks like being subjected to longer than expected meetings/lectures for example. So perhaps he might zone out a bit during match analysis...big deal he can rewatch it again in his own time. Maybe afterwards, but certainly not during exercise is there any noticable difference between someone with and without diabetes. Im 36, have football training twice a week, swim or run the other days and play on a Friday night with many ex pro's and boys playing junior right up until turning 35. Even playing with our amateur team on a Saturday (against boys half my age) who are not fitter than I am. So if he was training at a certain level all week he would easily compete in a match of that standard. If we could get him, Scott Allan would be a great signing for us.
  4. Thats why I suggested not doing that and keeping the ball on the deck and using width. From our last line up Shaw, Murray and Cambell all leave Arbroath for dead in regards to pace. 20 minutes from Burke too on the right could make a huge difference. Arbroath are a very slow team who Punt the ball up the park, win first ball. Control second ball and lay it off to repeat this process edging up the park. This is all they ever do. It isn't a difficult tactic to shut down if you start with Taylor and Sanders at the back.
  5. Watch the highlights back on YouTube and note our missed opportunities in each of the previous games. I think in the first game they deserved to win it on chances but I'd say we deserved to win the next two on chances created and missed. They were fairly evenly matched in play in each game because we tried to compete at their game. Long high ball through the middle...keep the ball on the deck with width and pace and we beat them comfortably.
  6. Was at the game today, QoS all over them right up until the equaliser, should easily have been 3 up before that point. Arbroath were at no point good, but started to win physical battle when ball was being punted from end to end. In previous games, they have been very luck and we have been very unlucky. Keep the ball on the deck and utilise quick players in wide areas and we win. Try to compete with long balls through the middle and they win.
  7. I'll find out, last time I was in he ended up ordering in Pizza, but there is a kitchen and Im sure they do food for the bowling matches.
  8. As a few have mentioned, Carnoustie and Broughty Ferry are options. But the trains won't always stop there, so need to check beforehand. The Golf hotel in Carnoustie is really good and has a pool. Jolly's in the Ferry is decent enough and would have a much more vibrant night life. Dundee is probably the cheapest option for staying over and has a lot more to offer for going out/getting food. By the sounds of it this will be the biggest home support in a while for Arbroath so the town will probably be a lot busier than usual after the football. I recommend De Vito's if anyone wants to attend a contender for Scotland worst nightclub.
  9. You are only ever 10 minutes from anywhere in Arbroath.
  10. If there would be enough interest, a friend will open up the Lochland's bowling club on Friday for Killie fans. It has by far the cheapest drinks in town and as its now used a club house for the Arbroath Harp (who have teams from 9's-35's and walking) All profits would be going into community sports development rather than the pockets of a few Dundonians who own most of the businesses in town. It is a 3 minute walk from the train station, and 10 mins to Gayfield, there is also parking available for cars and buses. The guy who runs it does a great deal for the community which is why I don't mind posting this message to plug him. Location: https://goo.gl/maps/3wnNamUP1pJdEVpU6 Please comment any interest and I will pass it on, Cheers.
  11. Unfortunately, a company called stream digital run the PPV site and I don't imagine the club profit much at all from KillieTv. Even if the club wanted to they couldn't offer free access to the replay. On that note, if you cannot make the games, I would suggest you get a VPN (Surfshark is really good and cheap, I think i'm about £7 per year) Then pay the £12.99 for monthly international subscription to KillieTv. If for any reason you felt bad about the £2 or so that the club wouldn't make from another home game or two in the month, then you could use some of your money saved to buy something from the club shop.
  12. Wouldn't like to meet him in the play offs.
  13. Lafferty couldn't score against Championship runners up Dundee in open play over 180 minutes 8 months ago, he has scored once in 11 games since. Here is that goal. (3 mins into video). He scored none in 10 league/cup games in Cyprus. I would still take him but there is no guarantee he does any better than Shaw or Hendry right now.
  14. Three free agents I would take in a heartbeat. Granted the last is unlikely but you never know...sibling rivalry and all. Bonke Innocent (Malmo, Lillestrøm) The love child of Mulumbu and Tshibola. Thomas Kind Bendiksen (Rangers, every team in Norway) Ridiculous composure with a better ping than Charlie Adam. Roman Eremenko, (Udinese, Dynamo Kyiv, Spartak Moscow) Almost as successful as his brother.
  15. Small steps, but a few immediate improvements today, firstly, throw in's quickly taken, to anyone in space either to be passed on or cushioned back to the thrower in opposition half. Fundamental but this simply did not happen under TW. In the first half we passed the ball forward in midfield. Midfielders actually came looking for the ball from defenders and we often had further options to play the ball forwards along the deck. Every single player was part of a high press, and despite being beaten by a few long balls over the top, every single player tracked back and made a genuine effort to stop attacks and cover each other. Haunstrup was a different player, much more effective and a reminder of how good he was a few seasons ago, I think he will be a different animal under DM. After only a few training sessions of a few days in charge, this is promising. I like his cup tie tactics mentioned in the post match interview, getting the players to buy into a mentality that every game is must win is clever of him. It was a far from perfect performance against weak opposition, but for many reasons it could be the best team performance of the season so far. 2-0's for the next 16 games please.
