Arbroath top of the championship

[UnionCruiser72]

Which I'm judging by your clear condescending tone makes me less of a fan.

The only condescending tone is yours towards Arbroath, a part time working class wee club.

The only people with negative views on that tend to be gimps that barely go to games.

 

[Strathbungo Bear]

As long Killie and their shitey pitch don't come back up, I'm happy.

Me too.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Mr Campbell's a character but don't know if I'd like us to be going to Arbroath on a night like this tho.

That condescending elitist attitude from those who go to games and those, for a wide variety of reasons who can't attend, will sadly never go away.

 

[Weebilly]

What’s the capacity for Gayfield?

 

[Stevie McDougall]

Dick Campbell is a proper auld school fitba man and a good bluenose to boot.
What's not to like?

 

[carlosapicella]

Hope they go up, just to annoy the folk who are against an 18 team league.

"Two games a season against Arbroath, am no paying fur that."

Here's four games. Enjoy.

Nail on head yorkyblue

 

[Corger]

Hope Dick takes them up

 

[Rangers72]

If they were to come up then we better not get sent there on a Monday night during the winter again

 

[TommyEgan]

You have missed the point of the post I replied to. He said it would be four instead of two, to which I replied it would only be three. Read the original post

Aye I get what you mean now.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

I'd like them to come up for a season. Be a good laugh. They'd be dreadful but it would be a feel good story.

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Fair play if they come up but they would severely weaken our already dug shite "Premier"ship.

Last time Arbroath were in the top league Scottish Football was among the best in Europe.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

Their stadium is a shithole and they don't have much of a home support. We're already struggling to sell out game with the shite on offer without adding another one to the ranks.

The stadium is a superb old fashioned terraced stadium, far better than most boring new stadiums.

 

[DonDraper]

I'd imagine so. Would be embarrassing having an amatuer team with a wasteland ground in our top league.

It really wouldn’t be embarrassing

they really wouldn’t, would be one of the most refreshing things in years

 

[DonDraper]

I think is ok since it is the old fashion stadium compared to the modern all seated one

When going to watch games was the best IMO

Agreed. Would much rather go to Arbroath rather than a soulless ICT

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Mon the smokie gable enders.

 

[Coallie]

Never ever go to an away ground why give money to bastards that tried to kill us off

 

[Forza_Napoli]

The championships batshit mental. Arbroath joint top. Accies beat Inverness today, killie and thistle in 4th and 5th with 1 or 2 points separating the relegation places.

If there's a team in that division that makes a late push and goes on a run it's them. I hope arbroath do it though it would be a he'll of an achievement if not then then I'd like raith to go up ad it would be a good change rather than than an Inverness or a Hamilton going up

Dick campbells a brilliant character as well. Sadly can’t see Arbroath but it’s impossible to call. Killie get their next manager right I’d guess them but other than that? %^*& knows

 

[RangerInCanada]

Arbroath up and Dundee doon.
That’s an upgrade!

 

[GazzaNumber8]

Theyve got a grass pitch - yes from me

I don't think arbroath will have enough to get them over the line. I don't know about killie they look done already they had a decent enough manager and he couldn't get them going. If I was picking one I'd pick Partick they have a manager who is very good at that level

 

[coolatballet]

Dick Campbell is a good Protestant hopefully they come up.

I’d imagine they’d share with Dundee United

Why would you imagine that?

Arbroath will not win the Championship, Protestant manager or not.

 

[TNT]

Dick Campbell is a lower league legend. His record for promotions in crazy.

He is now in his late 60s. Still managing Arbroath - as well as his recruitment company.

The type of manager players would run through brick walls for.

There is zero pressure on him. He doesn't have to do it - and can walk away any time he likes. Not a bad life to have.

What an end to a career it would be if he could get Arbroath into the top flight...

The whole Kilmarnock approach under Wright was a shambles.

A decent, tactically astute coach would have them in front.

 

[Careca]

He’s not really, although he would probably favour us over them. His late brother Pete was staunch as is his brother Dunc but Dick and Ian are Pars men

One of Dicks sons and one of Ian’s sons are Tims but the wider family are bears no doubt

Seen him speak at a doo with Bomber in Ayr. Seemed staunch.

Come on Arbroath.

 

[Theknight]

I was checking the championship league table and thought I'd clicked the wrong tab. fair play but how has that happened have they had investment or are they just going well

Just a brilliant manager basically.

 

[coolatballet]

Is it a build in mechanism that allows your brain to blank out the word hopefully from my post or did you just not read it correctly?

Not at all. I am just questioning your "imagination" regarding ground sharing with Dundee United.

Did you also imagine the talks between the club and the alternatives offered by Dundee and Raith Rovers etc. or did you just let your imagination go crazy?

Did your "hopeful" promotion of Arbroath precede or follow your dream induced "imagined" ground sharing arrangement?

 

[Cuparbear]

Arbroath for me really hope they come up!

Remember being there in the 70s, haar came in and you could see sweet FA.

 

[Maestro72]

Quite embarrassing to be playing against Arbroath - hardly going to attract players is it.

Good point, Livingston and Dundee are much bigger draws for our transfer targets.

It’s anybody’s guess mate, interesting anyway!

 

[Odin1972]

Arbroath move top after a 2-1 win against morton Dick Campbell is doing some job there hope they come up I quite like Dick Campbell

Brought on a 49 year old Rab Douglas today!!!

 

[Beer Belly Loyal]

Arbroath competing with the big boys.

Yes, seen it before, why not?

Lot of cannon fodder in our league, Arbroath might bring some sunshine before duncaster is eventually thrown out.

 

[Empire]

Brought on a 49 year old Rab Douglas today!!!

He was on the bench but didn’t get on.

 

[Odin1972]

Thought I heard he got on. I stand corrected.

 

[pelem]

Follow followed our team up to Arbroath for league games in the 70's and we were also on the end of a 4-1 defeat at Ibrox against them then too.


A guy called Derek Rylance scored 2 or 3 that night.

I love this place. There was someone the other day saying they sat next to him at Villareal and he was giving it the sash in the boozer after the game.

 

[bigmalc]

At this moment in time Arbroath are top on merit.
If they manage to continue the run and win the league then they deserve go up. Doesn't say much for the full time teams in that league.

 

[grangemouthbairn]

Love to see them go up.
For those who think they would bring down the level, the grounds not up to standard etc... the beauty of football is every now and again , smaller clubs like Arbroath make it through to the top league.
If you just want to play clubs with decent stadiums , full time players.etc.. close the fuckin doors to the Premier League... no relegation .. see how that works out.
If they go up it's on merit and what they've done on the pitch.
