Just arrived home from fife, thanks for the comment. When I saw who it was I immediately thought here comes the usual face palm. I must be mellowing in my old age. 😀

Yesterday was our best chance of getting promotion and we blew it. Whilst Stenny will be facing a team with nothing to play for on Saturday, we have horrible opponents in Hamilton, who are really in 3rd place on 55 points but are fighting to avoid relegation.

I'm afraid Kellagher doesn't seem to accept responsibility for his decisions which have got us into this pickle. His constant chopping and changing of the team since New Year has, in my opinion, contributed to the amount of draws we have had. His lack of substitutions at times is also baffling. More concerning perhaps is that he doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes.

Looks like Oscar. Devine, Longstaff and Savage are in the picture. Easton was MoM by the sponsors at the age of 38 and deservedly so as Cherlie says. He had Zimba in his pocket. A similar battle back in January when Easton made it although he was an injury doubt, and it took a wonder strike from Alfie Stewart to give us the lead with 20 mins left. Video shows loads of empty seats in the home end. 1348 there out of a capacity of 1980. Just saying.

It’s all come down to Saturday now! Avoid defeat and we win the league. The positive about that is that we are unbeaten in 17 league games. I’ve looked back to where we were before we lost those two games around Christmas. On 16 December we’d 33 points from 16 games, so with the deduction we took 38 points out of a possible 48. Since then, we’ve played 19 games and taken another 33 points to get us to our current total of 66. That’s 33 points out of a possible 57. As I say, we are not losing league games, which is the positive going into Saturday, but we’ve just not been winning enough. A day for calm heads, on and off the pitch. We never do things the easy way, but let’s do it!

Quite an important flick on from Zimba there. Apart from that I thought he was poor, but without that we aren’t scoring so credit where it’s due.

It’s astounding how much better their highlights are to ours. Surely something can be done about this.

The guys that do the betting forum on here will be hacked off with my master plan for selecting my choice each game. I have no skill in my selections just ask a grandkid for a number between 1-15 and a 1, 2 or 3. 1-5 championship, 6-10 league 1 and 11-15 league 2. 1 home win, 2 draw , 3 away win A Granddaughter selected 6/2. A draw for 1st game in league 1, EF v ICT. I was going to change the selection for first time in 35 games as I thought we would get away win. It was a stick or twist moment. I chose stick, it only dawned on me sitting on the train after the game every cloud has a silver lining. Nearly happy days.

Here's the twelve minute version from East Fife. personally, the three minute version is bad enough...

Part of your line needs a word removed to make it appropriate for the moment! A few to pick from. bc

I remain to be convinced that Munro is a good enough keeper for us, but he did well yesterday. The save he made to keep it 1-0 was impressive enough at the time but even better when I see it now on the highlights.

I think their big gane experience showed big time yesterday. Might have been an idsa to start them due to that and nerves would have been settled? Was a bit disappointed that Scott didnt show any personal responsibility re yesterday tbh

That’s why I think Billy and Spoony need to start next week, their quality showed a lot, they have calm heads with good decision making and it might get us off to a good start to prevent the nerves setting in. A tough watch yesterday, changes made far too late. Wouldn’t have taken Alfie off

Spot on! Totally spineless performance. Im not convinced we can do this now. Do we need some kind of confidence coach in for Sat. These players get stage fright at the big moments bar Billy and Spoony it seems.

Billy's strike leaves the keeper rooted to the spot. Brilliant!

This is not an excuse but once again we saw players on the opposite side to us seek time out for 'head' or other injuries. The SFA need to trial a system of 10 minute trial outs for those with head injuries and those in excruciate pain - their right back had at least 4 of these moments yesterday. If referees had the power to ask the medical teams to isolate players in such pain for 10 minutes off the pitch it might make the life of a referee much easier to detect true injuries and feigned injuries.

Eyes have just stopped bleeding. We really are believing our own hype. Gonna be a long week.
