Superally Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Merry Xmas to all and as we head in the second half of the season we have no need to be reminded that the well-deserved part time league leaders Arbroath have absolutely mullered us this season with two defeats scoring 7 and The Pars replying with 2. The Bunnet’s Red Litchies marched to the top of the table without Dick and Pink being in the dugout and had 6 players missing. Rab Douglas took the players in a stuffy match against Morton that was won at the death. Indeed, the form guide confirms they are the team to beat collecting 11pts from their last 5 games. Equaling Partick with scoring 30 goals and are the second meanest defence allowing just 14 to slip by. It shouldn’t be all doom and gloom as a Pars fan albeit second bottom with a game in hand, performances have improved significantly. We are no longer an easy touch with 4 other teams losing more games, 3 other teams conceding more goals and 3 teams have scored less. Although the Killie game was wiped out due to fog there were signs we were the strongest team and there was decent chances to suggest with could have taken points up the road. The last outing at Gayfield was a frustrating affair taking a 2-0 nil lead with an O’Hara double followed by a team that self-imploded with confidence deserting them. However there does seem to be an element of confidence returning and performances are more consistent. If only we didn’t give away an early penalty! I think there is a decent chance of taking something from this, I’ll take the point, 1-1. COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950Par Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 As long as the away support don't bring a wind machine with them - I am confident of all 3 points 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 We're underdogs no question. Can't see a way of winning this game. They're a better team than us. But, f**k it, I'll go 2-1 Pars 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Red Sox Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Was at the Newcastle - City game with the boy and watching that put where we are into perspective, looking distinct underdogs against the mighty Arbroath. There was enough in the Killie game to give me a bit hope, think we are a different proposition to the lame ducks that lost at East End and up the road. Point wouldn't be a disaster but as usual the heart says 3-2 pars. Why do I set myself for disappointment week in week out😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA-go Par Adonis Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 If you'd told me at the start of the season that our Boxing Day clash would see the side a point clear at the top of the league take on the team 2nd bottom on goal difference, I would have been happy with that state of affairs. Strange game at times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymie Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Let's enjoy it as it could be the last game we get into for a wee while? I'm hopeful we can get a result. There is a fag paper between most of the teams on their day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superally Posted December 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 So for those who have ST's and have free access to the stream, I suggest that they log in and test it. Leaving late on Sunday given the increased demand might add to the frustration of not going. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzPar Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Yes, I agree with you, Superally. It can be beyond frustrating watching a blank unresponsive screen as the clock ticks over to kick-off time. The earlier you get yourself organised with PPV, the better. I have just paid for mine. As for the game, we are long overdue a bit of luck against the Campbell brothers. Time to wipe the smile off their glaikit self-satisfied faces... 3-0 Pars! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosythpar Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Cant be any worse than last time Arbroath visited East End, on and off the field. Arbroath fan Alan Soutar also doing well progressing to the third round of the darts world championships today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted December 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Covid and probably Omicron is having its impact on the Championship with matches being called off. ICT v Partick Morton V QoS Are both off, ICT and QoS unable to field squads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
