Manchester City in ICT shirts!

…and breathe! That was a struggle and now it gets harder. Hopefully this result will give them some confidence against Hamilton but I doubt they’ll get any confidence from the performances against Montrose.

Well done CDNGirl, nice to get the bragging rights in your house I’d also like to add my thanks to yourself MrCJ for your efforts in keeping this great, frustrating and perplexing game going - I’m glad I’m already a baldy or else the stress of this would have it dropping out! Great fun though and looking forward to next season - cheers all

I wish I had your optimism Bobby but I’ve got my Private Frazer head on today - seriously hoping I’m wrong!

The majority of our players have nothing to lose either, they’re loanees and will be heading off elsewhere when it’s all over. They’ve also got very little to gain from a win so when it comes to incentive we don’t measure up too well.

I think you’ll find there’s been a bit of a circus on oor pitch for quite some time now…

QPs poor administration may very well be a valid point but I doubt I could live with the embarrassment of badgering the SFA to avoid the playoffs via this route. We are where are because we deserve to be - and if we’re worth our place in the Championship then we darned well have to go out and prove it by winning the four playoff games.

I’ll be back next season guys - I’ve missed playing the CTO Prediction league but life got a bit complicated for a while. Mind you if it’s anything like the last couple of seasons I played Robert will have nothing to fear from my title challenge!

Silver linings Gringo - we now get to play at least 2 more NPL games

The final slide down the slipway started with us reaching the cup final, it kept Dodds in the job. Without that reprieve we may very well have had a new manager in place before the season started and hopefully have avoided the disastrous start to the season.

…and Mrs Gringo shows us all how to play a Joker - nice one

What worries me now is an obviously fired up Queens Park taking on an Airdrie side with their focus on the playoffs. Airdrie are likely to play a weakened side next week and I doubt there will be any favours coming our way.

Dog formation probably isn’t the issue, we’ve got the wrong breed - we need Rottweilers not cuddly Cockapoos! We’re playing ourselves into a position where goal difference might very well now matter. If it stays the same today a draw for QP against Airdrie next week wouldn’t be good enough for them if we beat Morton - but we simply MUST beat Morton otherwise it’s a trip to Montrose…

That was a sore one to take but I can’t find it in me to attribute any blame to the players for Friday night’s result, that’s just fekkin football and the best team doesn’t necessarily win. They did more than enough to get the 3 points and were just denied by some bad luck and superb goalkeeping. I can even overlook the shoddy 10 minutes after the break, it happens, their efforts in the other 80 minutes should have given us the 3 points - unlucky lads, you gave it a ruddy good go. That leaves us now with 2 cup finals to go, we really can’t afford any other slip ups. Our vastly superior goal difference counts for sod all if Queens win their final 2 games, we needed to be 2 points clear to allow us the luxury of a draw in either match. So many variables though - for us, perhaps Dunfermline and Morton might not be so pumped up now, given they’re both out of playoff contention at either end of the table. As for QP, no telling what kind of fight Arbroath will put up against them, and more importantly, will Airdrie take their foot off the gas and rest some key players for the playoffs? What I saw on Friday night gives me the confidence we have enough in our locker to do it, but we most certainly need to do it ourselves!

Dunfermline @ 2.1 ta… …typical that Edinburgh City finally got their win on Tuesday night - I was banking on them catapulting me to the top of the table!

STFU I agree with a lot of what you say but I’m sure most of us don’t believe a voice on the board is a magic pill, more a step in the right direction that may help. Like you I have no faith in the the management, I don’t trust them one iota, but I would trust an ST board representative to try their very best, giving the fans a voice and good honest communication about what’s going on. I like Yngwie’s very relevant comment about pointless opposition - it doesn’t stop me voting in a Tory dominated constituency, at the very least they know there are dissenting voices out there. And I’d echo his question about your thoughts on direct action.
