Talking of certainties, Dumbarton are now definitely relegated as their failure to win today means they can't catch Annan.

We've edged a point further away from Annan, which is positive, but after such a bright start it seemed like a defeat when we all trooped out of the stadium. In truth, we should have scored 4 what with hitting the woodwork twice and missing a penalty. We could have eased out as comfortable winners but as it was, we were lucky to escape with a draw with Alloa hitting the woodwork and having a goal ruled off towards the end. Remi's red card will likely have an impact in the games he'll miss, but I think we have enough quality and desire in the team to keep ahead of Annan.

He’s in the starting lineup for Malta in their World Cup qualifier against Finland tonight.

Maybe we can get Donald Trump to broker a deal?

So, if the major creditors are "willing to do what is right by the club" and there are potential investors who are not willing to put in an offer because of the level of debts owed to creditors, what's the problem? What have the administrators been doing for the past few months beyond raking in a lot of Alan Savage's money? It is surely reasonable for the creditors to be involved in some level of discussion with potential investors. If that were that to happen, then the creditors' stated willingness to write off most of their loans can be put to the test.

Well said, Charles. Morrison has been spectacularly incompetent over his time as Chairman and now wants others to dig deep into their pockets to pay back his loan. Has the man absolutely no shame at all? He is not the only one to blame though. There would have been no secured loan unless his colleagues on the Board agreed to it. They, surely also have some moral responsibility to dig deep into their pockets to get the club out of the mess that they helped to create. There are a lot of people at the club, from Alan Savage to matchday volunteers who are doing a brilliant job trying to save the club. It is heartbreaking to think that all their efforts could be for nothing at the end of the day. The club certainly can still be saved as there are people who would be keen to put money into the club. The thing is, they are not prepared to pay £1.5M to the man who got the club into this mess. Nobody should loan money that they can't afford to lose. It is time that Morrison accepted that the money is gone. In accepting that, he could make sure the club does not disappear as well. Come on, man. A city is waiting for you to finally do the decent thing.

I didn't hear it, but as I shareholder I can say I have not received any communication. Communications have previously been sent electronically. If it has been put in the post, I might be able to provide an update sometime next week!

Absolutely brilliant performance. After a terrific early goal, Stenhousemuir got themselves back in the game and then Bavidge had to go off with an injury. I thought then that despite the early flourish, it might not be our night. How wrong I was! The effort from all the players was excellent. They were always looking to get the ball forward and there were several passages of quick and accurate passing which caused a good Stenhousemuir side all sorts of problems. What a contrast to the early part of the season! Big Dunc should watch a video of the game so that he can understand why he's still out of a job. We should beat Annan at the weekend. If we do, we will be 8 points clear of them with just 7 games left and a vastly superior goal difference. If we can maintain this level of performance then we should be mathematically safe from relegation comfortably before the end of the season. Achieving that status might be a key factor in sorting out issues off the field earlier than might otherwise be the case.

And it's obviously working. After all, everyone went mental after Alfie scored on Saturday!

We've played better, but I thought we deserved to win. We were over-cautious in the first half as if we were worried that committing players forward would provide opportunities for the in-form Stirton if we lost possession. In truth, he barely got a look in all afternoon. We were more positive in the 2nd half and created a lot of opportunities but the ball didn't quite run for us in the box. The stats of 16 attempts on goal and 7 corners does not suggest an overall lack of positivity. When we finally got the goal it was an absolute stunner. Remi had been playing safe balls all afternoon, but he suddenly played a great cross-field ball to Danny Devine who, for some reason, had popped up on the right of the opposition box. He played it side-footed on the volley behind the defenders and Keith Bray met it with a superb diving header and past a bemused keeper. Surely up there with the best goals we've ever scored. Whilst disappointing not to win, I am confident that we have the quality and desire in the squad to be comfortably clear of the threat of relegation by the end of the season.
