Arbroath Games

Ok, what is the chance of being able to stop Arbroath's excellent run of form.

I would snap your arm off for a repeat of the performance and scoreline last time out in Arbroath.

Hopefully Dundee United will beat Inverness on Friday night so a draw wouldn't be the worst result.

A win for either team today in our match will put them in second place, given last night's  2 - 1 defeat of ICT by Dundee United. 'Mon Ayr!

Can't remember last game we had abandoned. Looking at the highlights thought it looked a reasonable decision until I read that Kerr was raging.

Plus points decent finish by Drinan and having not played much recently 45 minutes running into a hurricane will have got the fitness up.
