HT 1-0 FT 2-1 ICT Bavidge Stenhousemuir O’Donnell Crowd 1768

Disappointing but I believe we will win more than we will draw or lose between now and the end of the season and can still get above Annan and Montrose. This is a quote from Scott Kellacher’s pre-match interview which I think is spot on and hopefully today spurs us on to win next week: “What the group of players have done to get us to where we are right now has been incredible. From now until the end of the season, there may be a set back here or there, we understand that. I think you can see with the setbacks we’ve had, we’ve lost 1 out of the last 5 games and that set back pushed the boys on. There’s a good resilience about them, if we lose a game, they want to get right back on it at training and go again.”

Scorers today were Logan Chalmers for Partick, Ross Draper for Elgin, Cillian Sheridan for Brechin and both Andrew MacAskill and Aaron Nicolson for Buckie.

The match highlights are on YouTube if the DVD is not available on line. It may not contain everything on the DVD but it will bring back memories of great days.

HT 0-1 FT 1-2 ICT Bavidge Arbroath Winter Crowd 1324

Reilly was only on loan until January and we couldn’t extend it as he is over 20.

Morton have released Kirk Broadfoot and Austin Samuels, Dunfermline have signed Jeremiah Chilikoa-Mullen, whilst Lewis Jamieson has joined Sacramento Republic.

It’s good to see Ferguson junior land a team. Hopefully without the pressure of being with a team managed by his father lets him find his way in life and the game.

Noted yesterday were Marley Watkins for Kilmarnock, Jordan Roberts (2) for Stevenage, Logan Chalmers for Patrick, Nathan Shaw for Morton, Iain Vigurs for Banks O’Dee and Brad Mckay (2) for Brechin.

I agree entirely. I thought the ref was losing it with the flurry of bookings just before the half hour and then he bottled what should have been a sending off. The Queens Manager clearly thought the same as he promptly hooked the player involved when we scored. It was a brilliant goal, created by some good play and well taken by Bavidge. We handled their physicality well and were deserved winners. Stewart had a brilliant effort well saved whilst we’d a couple of other chances where if we’d hit the ball hard we’d have scored. 8 wins in 11 is quite an achievement but we’ve another tough one at Arbroath next weekend. We were 8th at half time albeit we remain 9th with Annan winning, but we are right in the mix. Who’d have thought this was possible a few months ago. Onwards and upwards!

Longstaff back with Mckay on bench.

Reece McAlear for Livingston tonight.

Edinburgh City @ 2.1 please.

HT 1-0 FT 2-1 ICT Bavidge QoS Brooks Crowd 1870

Aaron Nicolson for Buckie in the Aberdeenshire Cup last night.

I’m working on the basis that when the Administrator has something significant to update fans on then there will be a statement. Until that happens, we know the Administrator will be working hard to take things forward. The meeting between the Administrator and Morrison was to take place in January, so has probably happened. It may well be that further discussions are taking place between them. Unfortunately we really have no option but to trust the process and wait for an update. Meantime we at least have entertaining football in the pitch to enjoy. Roll on Saturday!

Queen of the South may have the best home record in League 1 but they have the worst away one: 3 draws and 7 defeats in 10 games. We need to make sure that run continues.

I tried to block that out!

A great result. Well done all. It’s worth observing that we’ve not drawn any of our last 10 league games and we’ve won 7 of them. What a change in mindset and approach.

Noted today were Jamie McCart for Hearts, James Carragher for Wigan, George Oakley (2) for Ayr, Adam Brooks (2) for Queen of the South, Nathan Austin for East Fife and Aiden Wilson for Inverurie.

It will probably still be windy for the game but let’s conquer the Wasps and the weather and get three points. Safe journey to those attending and I really hope you enjoy the game.

Queen of the South @ 10/11 please.

HT 0-1 FT 1-2 ICT Mckay Alloa Sammon Crowd 725

Losing is disappointing, but if we were to lose one of our last three, this was the one. From the BBC text, Brooks was out to prove a point after us hardly playing him then letting him go. I hope Longstaff and Bavidge are fit for Saturday. Annan are still very much in touching distance. Regroup and move on.
