Jamie_M Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Duncan Ferguson meltdown accusing Arbroath players of downing tools. Arbroath not happy. Caley apologise but Arbroath still demanding a retraction. Mindgames and squeaky bums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Seems a fair comment from Ferguson, frankly. When you're already relegated your mental state simply will change, you can't help it. "Downed tools" is maybe a little harsh because these guys are still professionals and will want a contract at Arbroath or elsewhere, but they're not going to have the fire that they would if survival was still possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree it is a fair statement. I watched his press conference today (why do daft wee clubs like Inverness and Ayr have press conferences for one local hack and the club media guy?) and he repeatedly alludes to it. There’s a clear intent to do a “Fergie” and get the desired reaction from the Arbroath players the way Ferguson did to Leeds in 1996, sparking Kevin Keegan’s outburst. It doesn’t show him in a good light. It should be noted that Arbroath have said Inverness have apologised, but I don’t see anything public from them as yet. This sounds like a similar scenario to Scott Gardiner privately apologising for Dodds’ nonsense in the Cappielow boardroom, but refusing to do so publicly. They really aren’t a very likeable club at all, I would love it if we beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Ferguson should just simply try harder at winning games of football than worrying about other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Imrie confirmed in his preview that Strapp is done for the season and Wilson likely is too, but Oakley should be back tomorrow.

Hands of Cowan Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 First and foremost, get the win today and secure our spot for next season. Secondly I hope that any out of contact players that feature in our last games actually put in a performance to at least showcase themselves to potential new clubs and scouts. It would be nice to see what some of them can actually do before we send them off with our best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Just get the win today and get us over the line. It's a shame no Strapp or Wilson as we are a much better team with them in the squad. Ferguson knew exactly what he was doing with the Arbroath comments and I fully expect them to make it difficult for us they can now relax and play without pressure. Hopefully a few of the boys got a rocket up there arse from last week and we see much better performances, will stick my neck out and say 2-1.
