Two good results for Lanark tonight. Not surprised at either. Gow will be gaining confidence that they will go up but Three's task has got harder.

We'd have much preferred to play Ardeer last week. One of the few games postponed that day.

Dalry are no pushovers as we established yesterday. They still have VoL and Bellshill to play

Huntershill is next week and, is one of the few games that I will miss this season. If I have to miss any, I prefer it to be a plastic one.

Gartcairn and Drumchapel are awful places to watch a game. The leisure centres they use do provide decent parking and toilets but that is all that can be said for them.

11 wins from our last 12 league games. Today was impressive, not because we played particularly well but how we went about it. 1 up inside 2 minutes with a very nice goal but then allowed Dalry into the game and could easily have been 3 or 4 - 1 down at half time instead of 2-1. Dalry put us under serious pressure. Bold but correct move taking off one of our 2 CB's, both of whom were on yellow cards. manager brought himself on and changed the tactics to suits the difficult surface. Further substitutions made a difference, particularly the introduction of big Graham Gracie. Our captain Liam Mushet was immense today, playing on through injury. Willie Muir unavailable today so our 18 yr old reserve keeper played only his 2nd game at this level and acquitted himself very well. Keep saying it. All in our own hands, regardless of other fixtures although pleased to see the points were shared at Bellshill. A home win for The Gow in their next fixture would not go amiss.

I'm on here saying I want you to beat Bellshill

You reap what you sow. I'll be surprised if any team got a different reception from the one we got when we visited Threave. Very warm welcome, with great facilities and food. We are looking forward to hosting them soon. may put an order in for some of their pies and sausage rolls!

Rooting for a home win

Quite a turnaround having lost 3-1 away at Dalry on Saturday.

I see our season has been extended by a week. Final game is away at Ardeer. Hope players haven't booked holidays.

I can confirm that Finnart were poor again yesterday. They scored a nice goal towards the end but didn't carry much threat apart from that. I am not saying that Gow can't do it, but merely challenging the statement made about them being favourites to go up in 3rd.

Got sidetracked with Finnart. VoL are in an even stronger position as they have 4 games to play

I question how, with 8 games still to play that Gow can be considered favourites over Finnart, who only have 3 more games. I get that The Gow are in form but, the task facing them is far greater than that facing Finnart.

Bellshill 3 Finnart 1

Seen Finnart 3 times now and have now idea how they are where they are in the league. They were poor today, scoring a consolation with 6 minutes to go. Bellshill had the ball over the line twice early on which the ref didn't see and they missed a couple of sitters so could have been much worse. Heard season may be extended by a week?

Ardeer v Lanark Newmains v St. Peter's

I've always thought Threave have been in with a shout and you can never write a team off with points on the board. The Gow's recent good form put them in the picture but is a harder ask than , say, what Finnart require.

Ardeer v Lanark is off.

Of course it is! Was over 6 months ago. Hence the reason I liked it so much - that and the food, despite the loss

Time will tell. We've won 3 of our 4 away games on plastic this season, losing only to Threave. We may end up playing Dairy on plastic if they fall too far behind with postponments. I thought Kilsyth were. nice footballing team on their own ground, just lacking an end product.

IF, and I do stress IF, we beat Ardeer, Dalry and West Park, all away in the next three games I think we would be mathematically promoted, given that some of the other promotion contenders have to play each other before the month end.

So many if's and buts - injuries, suspensions and players being unavailable due to holidays, suspension and working. Down to the deepest squads.

Best team we have played this season in the league.

An amazing keeper and not as old as he looks, I believe
