Remember, we have a pitch inspection due for 08:30 on Saturday morning.

And at 07:30 the weather itself is fine but chilly, however, we will have to wait and see how the surface of the pitch is recovering.

OK, so It's game on in the first six-pointer. Let's do this.

If we lose today, any chances of getting to the play-offs are over IMO.

No Donaldson?

Pulled up injured again . Daniel Mackay coming on 

Morton score a second afterbeing awarded a penalty ?

That's the end of the league season. Maybe unlucky, but not finishing good chances has buried us. 

Were going to win 3-2

Austin is slower than a week in jail. Should nickname him "sick  note". We were better off with Baird.

Seedorf naive for challenge that led to penalty.

Missing Mulraney and Donaldson today.

A post, a crossbar and a disallowed goal.

League season over

Being out of the league means we can concentrate on the cup of vodka and Irn Bru.

Left early not watching anymore of this torture and freezing my arse off at same time so fecking angry 

 

That's a horrible result. Time to start preparing for next season by blooding the youngsters and looking for a manager who knows how to prepare a team to compete in this league. 

Polo chick, think you may have left at same time as Me? You sit by tunnel, green jacket lol. It was a hard watch. So many players didn't perform at all.

That sounds like a bit of an artificial sweetener to me!

Disgrace relegation playoffs here we come 

I couldn't go today as travelling south.

Listened to Open All Mikes, and the first goal sounded scrappy and the second was a soft penalty which went in off the post, according to the radio.

Were both our "goals" correctly disallowed?

Hitting the post and bar and missing an apparent sitter probably sums it up.

We need to win the next two games against Dumbarton and Brechin and then take stock of where we are. I'm an optimist, but the top three seem safe, but Dundee United, Queen of the South and Dunfermline are as inconsistent as us.

A bit of a strange one that.  We didn't play particularly well but we put far more pressure on their goal and could have won that comfortably.  We gave away 2 soft goals at one end and had 2 disallowed at the other, hit the woodwork twice and had one cleared off the line.  

Despite having more of the game and more of the chances, we had a very lacklustre feel about us for such an important game.  I don't think anyone played particularly badly but equally, I don't anyone played particularly well.  It seemed to me that players were well aware of the importance of the game and froze somewhat.  There was a nervousness about the play and despite the number of near misses, there was a reluctance to shoot, particularly from Polworth after good work to give himself a half chance on 3 or 4 occasions.

I've always been a fan of Doran but he looks some way from the player he was before his injury.  He did little wrong today but there was little of the buzzing energy and ball carrying which was such a feature of his game.  Hopefully more game time will strengthen and sharpen him up.  A pre-injury Doran would do some serious damage to some of the defences in this league.

Whilst the play-offs now seem most unlikely, I think we need to cast our minds back to where we were at the start of the season.  The principle goal at the end of the season must be survival and that should be comfortably achieved.  The focus should be shifting to make a serious challenge for promotion next season.
