I’m no expert but our company guidance says it does not apply to anyone who has started from 28 February. There will be guidance on line at gov.uk so try google maybe?

Not sure if this may be a signal of how other decisions will be made and less of an impact than promotion and relegation issues but Brora have been declared Highland League champions: http://www.hflhub.co.uk/index.php/2677-brora-rangers-declared-highland-league-champions

If you started the job before 28 February you should be covered by furloughing.

Heard on radio earlier that a lot of clubs are furloughing players and the SFA have given advice. Don’t know if we are or how many of ours earn more than the £2500 per month limit. Article said it could help to keep a lot of smaller clubs alive.

And now Boris has it along with his Health Secretary and possibly the Chief Medical Officer. This is serious, goodness knows whether we have acted too slowly, at the right time or too quickly, I would hate to have their jobs. Encouragingly, went to Tesco tonight for essentials (and beer) and everyone was being sensible and keeping a distance from everyone else. Hopefully the complacency of the last few weeks has gone and we can work together to get through this, royal, politician or football fan. Lets support each other on here too. Stay safe all!

Really great to read this post. Credit to the club. Hopefully they get positive media and social media coverage of it which may help our positioning as a community club.

Some great reminders of games on the club’s twitter feed. Also the full cup final and a great one liner from Captain Carl “great to see the last 15 minutes for the first time”. Stay safe all and follow the guidance strictly.

I doubt it was fans that committed the thefts.

I agree. Hope it gets plenty support.

A lot of people are self isolating but only a minority actually ha e the virus.

It is the correct decision to suspend fixtures, everyone’s health must come first.

It was ICT 3 Wind 1 tonight!

Good to see the posters in the toilets about washing hands for 20 seconds. Now we just need the taps to run for more than 1 second.

Well, that was a surprising line up and formation, but a very comprehensive win. We started playing 3 5 2 with Toddy, McHattie and Tremarco as a back 3 with Rooney and Harper being wing backs. Keatings started up alongside Storey. The first was a well taken header by Vincent from a Keatings corner. The second was a 35 yard free kick by Keatings. A goal of the season contender. The weather then played a part with us playing into a strong gale and torrential rain for 10 minutes. We hardly got a touch in that period and the weather undoubtedly was the only reason we conceded. When the weather calmed, we bossed it again and got a deserved third when Storey was played in by Carson (I think). The wind troubled Ridgers more than Queens. The central 3 were largely untroubled although Tremarco got an early booking. Rooney tried to get forward whilst Harper started quietly but grew in confidence. The midfield 3 bossed the game with great attitude. Keatings was my man of the match (although I couldn’t grumble when the sponsors picked McHattie who is unflappable) whilst Storey had a few chances. If I had one small complaint about tonight, other than the weather, Storey could have passed a few times to better placed players but he tried himself. Probably our most comfortable 90 in a while, other than when the weather intervened, and hopefully we can take that performance into the weekend. We finished with 10 as Tremarco hobbled off hope he is not badly hurt given we were already without Toshney and Mckay so running out of defenders These midweek games are going well for us! 9 out of 9 on Tuesday nights.

As White on bench, Todorov for first ICT please. Cheers!

5 changes. Harper, McHattie, Vincent, Keatings and Todorov all start. Im at the ground. Fingers crossed!

HT 1-0 FT 3-1 ICT White QotS Dobbie Crowd 1754

Queen if the South: 3 Arbroath: 1 Partick Thistle: 3: has to happen some time! Dundee: 1 So 8 is my guess, but hoping for more!

Judging by the report on Sportscene we were lucky to only lose 2-0. Their goalie had one good save from White at 1-0 and that seems to have been it. The only positive is that with the other four games being draws we have actually gained at least a point over all five teams below us over the midweek games and today’s games. I hope Toshney is not badly injured and that we regroup quickly for Tuesday night. The games coming thick and fast is showing how we lack depth in the squad. How close to suspensions are the likes of Rooney, Mckay, Carson and Trafford?

Mckay in for McHattie. Walsh presumably playing the Keatings role with Doran and Storey wide.

Billy Mckay SPFL player of the month for February for 5 goals in 5 games. Some on here can say “I told you so” after the debate about him in January. Rather than being in his way out at County, it looks like he has cemented his place and is keeping them just above the relegation fight.

I hope you are right Don!

HT 1-1 FT 1-2 ICT White Alloa O’Hara Crowd 743

It seems Vincent should be fit whilst Mckay is available again, with only Welsh missing out. It will be a tough game on their plastic pitch but we can go there with confidence. I hope all going have a great day out. This will probably be wrong, but I’d start with: Ridgers Rooney Toshney McHattie Tremarco Carson Trafford Walsh Keatings Doran White

Another 0-0 between Arbroath and Dunfermline tonight. This midweek has been good for us. Hopefully we can keep it going at Alloa on Saturday. We’ve only won three on the spin in the league twice this season so now is the time to match that and then go on a longer run to cement second. We seem to have a good team spirit so hopefully we can do it.
