There will be more Talbot fans turning up at Guys Meadow in error on Monday than turned up for Gartcairn last night.

Yes that same Star; just trying to be positive for @Sermani whom I believe has missed the LL. Hopefully will be at the Islecroft whichever team is there 'pumpin' them. Need permission from horses to do anything.

I've not miscounted. As explained above, the presiding officer only votes in the event of a tie, and normally votes to keep the status quo, irrespective of her party affiliation. 64 each will mean that DRoss'sVONC will fall.

And he says a European place is still the aim. Nowhere in the interview has he said he's settling for sixth, you've just conjured that up in your head. Seems like you just decided that rather than say nothing, it was easier to have a pop at a complete non-issue.

There are still potential thrills and spills ahead, it's why we love this game. And as an extra one of the reasons Threave joined the West setup, or so I've been told. Not been to a Threave game for a few weeks, been going to SOS games, but will get you Meadow before season ends and will see how all are feeling whatever transpires in the next few weeks.

Thank you very much kind sir. I was following on from the Kelty topic title then i thought both looked naff! Changed

The same Star that struggled to win against 10th tier Carluke and were beaten by tier 8 Craigmark in the cups, or have they had a massive overhaul since then?

If we were to move to a back 3, Dick would be fine as a left centre back. We cannot go another season with him as our fist choice left back.

With a knife edge vote of no confidence coming up, will the Scottish Government win or lose this vote? I think if it's a draw the Presiding Officer votes with the Government so that counts as a Scottish Government win. I will take a call and say that they will WIN the vote.

Speaking of training facilities... Courier is reporting that we've been given the go ahead to build our own training facilities and complex at Riverside.

The jingle on the DER advert on Granada telly gave you the impression they were happy for to visit the shop and start messing about with all the kit. I miss those shop window days. It was essential for any Merserail staff to have a transistor radio to update you on the scores. However, new technology now means I spend part of my lunch break wondering what the Arbroath squad will be for next season. What a time to be alive!

3 o'clock KO confirmed again.

I read a column that said that keeping Osprey away from Swerve at the moment is the best idea and can't really argue with that. Give them separate stories for the moment before the build to All Out. Really can't see anything beyond an Osprey World Title win there

Hopefully we give them something to boo about though with our leaky defence and poor shooting skills that may not happen. 1 - 2 and a tight game.

You can't do this to me.

It can be the occasion that beats you rather than the opposition. I imagine Star as a club would be delighted to return to the LL, so will be up for it totally. Whether they have the quality us another matter. My thinking is; playing Broxburn Athletic over 2 legs, the surprise element is gone whereas 1 off games might suit them more. At the very least we have play off games to look forward to this year, which is a positive.

Do you genuinely think I'm jealous of you being in the top half? If your squad is struggling to cope with "anxiety" over finishing 5th then I'd be concerned massively by that. Managers in the top six should be brave and baws oot to achieve the most they possibly can. Settling for 6th as fine when there's literally nothing to lose is pathetic.

Don't have very strong views on this but notable that the Scottish Greens do seem to effortlessly trigger certain folks. Amusing to see....

90 minutes of this please

A confidence vote is only a good idea if you have a decent prospect of winning it. Otherwise you look daft. Sometimes it's best just to let the opponent wallow in the fallout for a while.

I had the beach at Lunan Bay all to myself earlier. (Phone photo)

Put it this way....having a new manager at Liverpool coming in is going to be a big factor on whether we would see Beck back for another season. I don't really have any care for their fortunes but the new manager coming in will want to hit the ground running and for that reason, with Robertson and Tsimikas ahead of him, I can't see Beck getting much of a look in. We now have proof that if they wanted to keep him and a prospect for the future, that he will get regular game time and the chance to develop further. If January was anything to go on, though, we probably won't be the only ones looking for him either on a loan or transfer considering the old firm were sniffing around.

I’m not sure that partnership got much of a chance, Thommo seemed to be the third choice partner for Carrick after Hilton and Spence and most of the time as a late sub with little chance to influence matters.

There are a few good examples in East Dunbartonshire of locally funded facilities that cost whatever they cost and are either under utilised or in one case not used to its capacity. One us Huntershill, which even when it was being built there was enough voices telling the council it was not fit for purpose, the other is in Kirkie which is virtually lying empty. Both of these could have been setup for multiple sport use not just football with some basic decent spectator facilities. Petershill in Glasgow is a good facility with decent spectator facilities, do not know if any sports outside football have access to it. A little joined up thinking wouldn't go amiss and as we are aware our leaders are world class as wasting money building these centres that do not meet the needs of locals. But it's not just councils an governments, there are enough entrepreneurial business people around who could invest in infrastructure. But would rather spend their money on vanity projects at small clubs and then bugger off when they get bored.
