| 141. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 00:26 A good battling performance , but Arbroath made sure there was going to be no football played tonight, constant niggling fouls that were ignored by the referee, and unlike the 2nd half at EEP , they just played hoof ball, got what they deserved, and we go on.

| 142. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 00:59 I think it`s fair to say that, generally, we`re pretty well-organised defensively. 2 hours against Falkirk and 3 hours against Arbroath without conceding a goal and only a few clear-cut chances says it all really. Reply |
| 143. Author: Skid Chicane Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:09 It was a brutal game, as Arbroath made it brutal. But that performance defensively was brilliant. John Tod was outstanding. Reply |
| 144. Author: WarringtonPar Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:18 Raymie the Legend, Fri 8 May 21:33 Pitches are poor, a little bit of fatigue maybe and one eye on the cup final. I’d take another grind against Thistle if it gets us through Reply |
| 145. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:24 Its about winning now. Performances are for the league campaign. Each game in the playoffs is a cup game. If you have to grind out a result thats what you have to do. Past results are irrelevant. Its the here and now that matters. G Wardrope Reply |
| 146. Author: DA_NO1 Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:26 Let’s not forget that Partick have failed to beat Arbroath this season. With 3 draws and Arbroath winning at Partick. Was a tough game but we found a way. "a picture paints a thousand words" Reply |
| 147. Author: veteraneastender Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:41 "Agreed. Thought Fraser had a stinker." Seconded - his poorest game since he came to the club. However we know he has the goods - every player has an off day. Andy Todd also came into that category last night - and Morrison contributed little ............again. J.Todd was excellent after a wobbly start and the central defence played well - JCM`s goal line clearance was crucial, as was Aston`s penalty save. Gilmour another sound performance despite being battered and clattered throughout. Reply |
| 148. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:45 It was never going to be about individual performances and players playing to their strengths. Its one of thise games you just have to grind out a result G Wardrope Reply |
| 149. Author: GG Riva Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 08:53 As the old clichè says, "It wasn`t a game that will live long in the memory" - apart from Aston`s outstanding save from the penalty. As others have said, the important thing is that we`re through to play Partick. They`re beatable and we can play better...  Not your average Sunday League player. Reply |
| 150. Author: parsmad68 Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 09:07 And we had a wee mention on the BBC main sports news with me jumping about like a daftie on national TV at the penalty save 👀🤦♂️ Reply |
| 151. Author: DJAS Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 09:10 I will take another 5 games like last night if we end up with promotion and a Scottish cup in the cabinet. We don’t win that tie a year ago. Team is growing together. Good number up there last night. Now onto Tuesday. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply |
| 152. Author: par-ticular Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 09:16 Remember how the rovers bossed us, amongst other teams. Arbroath no exception! Our youngsters are getting more experience, coping better, adjusting to the opposition, and are in the playoffs and a cup final on merit. Reply |
| 153. Author: king lad Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 09:26 Yeah that wasn`t a game last night for pretty football. Arbroath tried to bully the pars boys out of the game but they stood up to it well. Arbroath never created a great deal over the 2 legs, the penalty was just a loss of concentration from Fraser compounded by Oxborough being forced to come out and make a decision. What a save from the penalty though, so imposing in the goal, and has come through for us in these big games. Thistle will be a different proposition and more of a goal threat, hopefully the boys can recover and go again Tuesday. What a great season it has been to make up for all the farcical ones we`ve endured in recent years at this level. Reply |
| 154. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 09:35 One big plus for me from these two games is that Charlie Gilmour has discovered that it`s possible to be effective as a midfield `enforcer` without giving away needless fouls and getting booked. I hope he carries it into next season. It was heartening to hear in their post-match interviews how much Chris Kane and Aston Oxborough are enjoying being at the club. I wonder if Motherwell would be difficult to deal with if we expressed an interest in signing the Ox on a permanent basis? Billy Terrell`s not ready yet to be considered as the regular first-team keeper but he could be a reasonable understudy I think. Reply |
| 155. Author: Westies squint kicks Date: Sat 9th May 2026. 13:02 I thought it was great turnout from Pars fans, any idea of the numbers who travelled ? Reply |
