Reports from Forfar Athletic games as well as interviews and stats.

Seven years on and this headline for my report is never getting topped.

Unfortunately I have lost my job due to the ongoing pandemic.

If anyone is looking for a guy to do some graphic work, a match programme or anything similar for a fee, get in touch.

Apologies to people that showed an interest in this, unfortunately a few personal issues have come up and I have struggled with these.

Once I am feeling 100% I may revisit this if interest is still there but at the moment with my mental health it is difficult to do so.

I am potentially looking into doing some interviews with current or former Forfar Athletic players over the next few weeks. This would be to try to have something for people to read during the lockdown and also try to get some of my enthusiasm back for media work.

Would anyone be interested in reading any interviews? If so, let me know who you would like to see be interviewed!

@AlcalasNoseband If we have, it wasn’t yesterday, Webster has never played for Forfar.

ST | Chris Templeman | 2009-2016 | 270 apps, 69 goals

I don’t think much needs to be said about why I included Sanny.

Phenomenal with the ball at his feet, you couldn’t get it off him in a phone box.

Forfar Athletic XI of the Decade

GK | Marc McCallum | 2012 & 2017- | 116 appearances

Tough decision whether to choose McCallum or Douglas. His first spell in 2012 was forgettable but since signing permanently in 2017 he has been in my eyes one of the best in the lower leagues.

ST | Jim Lister | 2016-2017 | 54 apps, 10 goals

Lister maybe didn’t score as many goals as others but he always gave everything for the team. A shame he had to retire due to injury.

Once did an interview & then proceeded to twist my nipples at the end, I still have no idea why.

@zefrogi I like Travis a lot, and he would have been my second CB if I went with a back four but I just felt TOB was too good for our level. I probably could have moved him into midfield to be fair, but we’ve also had a lot of very good central midfielders in the decade!

[Ramblings of a Loon @ROALblog]

@ktg64 Never heard of him

[Ramblings of a Loon @ROALblog]

I probably haven’t been as active on Ramblings of a Loon as I should be due to my mental health but in an attempt to bring it back from the dead for the fifth time, I will be naming my Forfar Athletic XI & subs of the decade over the next couple of weeks starting tomorrow.
