Just in case I did, here's what I wrote on Sept 6th
Can it get any worse?
You bet it can. Anyone who criticises the paying fans for shouting their displeasure at the players or manager has joined the ranks of the politely correct. Being nice and giving encouraging words might work in play school but this is a senior adult sport, or at least it should be. Their idea would be to give all the players a trophy for participating. God help us.
If I still lived in Arbroath and was still as fanatical in my support as I was in the 60's, I would be devastated about this woefull start to the season. As it is, I left the UK 40 years ago and the fervour I once had for AFC has diminished. I still want to see them do as well as is possible for a wee team. They can do better, but only if the people in charge have the brains, guts and drive to make the necessary changes.
Get stuck in, or get the $$$$ out!
