The club have confirmed that Deas will be moving on but state that offers being / have been made with updates to follow in the coming days.

Why? They didn't look nervous until the final 10 / 15 minutes when County seemed to realise they were in deep trouble. Some bottle job in fairness.

Allardice will be away as well. Obviously the likes of Henderson and MacKay will return to their parent clubs as well. Think we could see a few players move on this summer.

I doubt a side that has scored 18 goals in their last 5 games will be a bit nervous about their next game.

There was a recent Twitter storm about boo boys which I'm sure plenty of you are aware of. These tongue in cheek stickers are the result of that. The Buzz Lightyear should give folk a clue as well.

The home game against Dundee at the end of the 09/10 season would possibly come close. Dundee barely took any fans up and I think we had something like 6,000 there.

The latest episode of The Wyness Shuffle has a load of chat, interviews and other stuff as the guys look ahead to the game on Saturday. How do you like the sound of: Looking back at previous wins over Celtic with interviews with Stuart Golabek, Dennis Wyness, Ross Tokely and James Vincent? Captain Sean Welsh updating us on how preparations for the big day are coming along? A chat with Natasha Meikle from the Celtic State of Mind podcast? All you need to know about the Highland Fling on the Ferry? The reveal of another Cup Final song?

I believe that we won 2 - 0 against Nairn County.

Malkmus came with receipts.

Yes. I'd say Queens Parks collapse and end of season form is, obviously, much worse as we weren't seven points clear at the top of the table with only a handful of games left.

Four points from their last seven games. Ouch.

Woods isn't here on loan.

We won't have been offering contracts as we'll have had no definitive idea of what league we were going to end up in nor the playing budget to work with.

Ayr fully deserved that win last night. All over us from the get go and looked better all over the pitch for most of the game. We did get on top for a period in the second half but even then they still looked a threat on the break. Thought at the time the opener may have been offside but the videos above clearly show he was on. Bizarre from Dodds to watch us shell long balls forward to Mckay (but most of the time it was no one) and think this was okay. So many players fell flat at a time when we needed them. Worst was Allardice who had an absolute nuke of a performance. Taking on Woods instead of Doran was laughable. Just more bizarre Dodds moments that sum up our season. As I've said before results recently have been good but performances have been poor for a good number of weeks. We were able to shitfest our way past jobbers like Cove but when a decent team like Ayr comes along we're found wanting. The league next season could be the most difficult in a while and it's hard not to feel we've missed our best chances to get out of here now.

Yeah this is a must win game. Anything less than 3 points and we are putting our feet up until the Scottish Cup Final.

So neither clubs wanted it. Seems they were barely consulted. The majority of the fans seem against it. Debatable if the players like the idea. All this to appease the BBC and Viaplay so they can screen another match from a different country which may still overlap with the SCF. The SFA deserve all the pelters they are getting for this pathetic decision.

A late KO scuppers fans who may want to get public transport back north after the match.

That the SFA have not come out to rubbish this story suggests to the very cynical part of me that there is more than a grain of truth in the story.

Is it just Viaplay though? Given the BBC will be screening both I'd imagine they are also heavily involved. Anyway, changing the KO time for the Scottish Cup final because of a match in another country sums up the tinpot nature of the game here.

There is absolutely no chance Deas is with us next season. Not that Dodds can do much about that. I'd expect Allardice to be away as well but perhaps that is less clear cut.

I think it would be better if they were in North Stand but other supporters have complained about them there so they feel there is no other option for them but to try and start something in the West Stand.

Big preview of the match this coming Saturday on The Wyness Shuffle podcast featuring input from the Falkirk Daft podcast. Have a listen!

Dundee probably should have won that. They started both halves so much quicker than we did and it felt like they had plenty of decent chances before we even got over the half way line. Some decent saves from Ridgers and fluffed efforts from the likes of Jakubiak kept things level. I felt we defended the opener poorly at the time. Opposition players allowed to much time and space and our defenders not picking up their men properly. We just seemed very slack for large parts of the game. Whilst it was a tidy finish I don't think we covered ourselves in glory trying to keep them out. Nice hold up play from MacKay to keep the ball under pressure from Sweeney and a lovely run and cross to find Samuels at the back post for the equaliser. Probably our one really good bit of attacking play the entire game before we went back to hoofball forward for MacKay and Samuels to try and do something with. A really quite bizarre performance from us. After seeing Shaw tear opponents apart on the flanks in recent weeks Dodds seems to be persisting with making him into a 10 where he hasn't looked at all as effective. Really odd that he has done this for the 3rd game in a row. The defending was chaotic at times and we really struggled with the intensity of the Dundee press at times. Any time Jakubiak or Robinson went up for a high ball Cameron was bursting forward to try and collect any knock down. Compare this to Mckay who spent an hour almost completely isolated trying to win headers against two gargantuan defenders. It was a frustrating watch. Carson was probably our best player. Defended reasonably well for the most part and slotted into midfield very well once Dodds shuffled the pack. Impressed with Hannant in the opening stages of the game for Dundee where he was giving Carson a hard time but he (Carson) eventually got to grips with him. Also thought Cameron did well buzzing all over the pitch defending and attacking. Was happy when he went off. Looks like our playoff spot is going to come down to a last day shoot out against Ayr United.

He was asking about who won the ball for the equaliser

Yeah it was Allardice. Both Welsh and Allardice dominated by the midfield for large parts of the game but you could see the former tiring quite badly as the game wore on. Bizarre that Dodds didn't seem to want to make any changes given this pretty obvious issue.
