  1. Brett Long's injury hardly helped but Durnan's was equally damaging. Not just in losing the players but it highlighted the lack of cover we had at goalkeeper and in central defence. Much is made of Farrell's recruitment success and whilst there have been notable individual signings like Ryan Wallace, Mikey Ruth, Finlay Gray and Carlo he has pretty much failed to produce a consistent and successful unit. And having a queue of signed midfielders this season with no central defensive and striking cover was hardly a balanced squad. One thing's for sure; apart from the usual financial aspects, recruitment for next season is going to be a whole lot harder, and especially if Stevie Farrell remains in place.
  2. Naw, just naw. I'll be painting a garden fence, no matter what the homeowner says.
  3. Spot-on Moonster, and if anything the process of withholding money has already begun naturally as crowds have dropped to utter rock bottom. As I stated, people must make their own choices but those crowds and public interest are directly related to the on-field performances of the team and the general decline of the club and I defy anyone to claim otherwise. It's not an act of God. It's an abject failure of ownership and craven local management in which mediocrity has become ingrained, and left unchecked it will take the club into the Lowland League. Why should we continue to subsidise it ?
  4. The only protest which will register is a financial one. The club is utterly skint and Cognitive is the banker of last resort - neither will welcome a drop-off in income. Having long assumed that Stevie Farrell is effectively Director of Football - I can think of no other club which would not have acted on his record even before last night's latest shitshow - I'm seriously considering not renewing my season ticket as a protest against the supporters being gaslighted, but each to their own.
  5. I caught some recent footage of Biden last night. Is it just me or does he look as if he's aged ten years in the last month ?
  6. It's like watching your dog die and it could be about to get worse. In the last two seasons Stevie Farrell has managed to build fairly decent squads and the team has got off to good starts in the league. For all sorts of reasons I doubt that's likely to happen a third time, with obvious consequences - I wonder if anyone on the Board is even considering this possibility But that is of course assuming that we fail to gain promotion this season.
  7. I reckon we'd struggle to give Sheffield United a game right now.
  8. Well take it from one who knows that you are highly unlikely to see it. Sincere apologies, but it's a shitshow.
  9. It's that Annan play-off reel all over again - good goal that.
  10. Thanks....I'm in and it's probably as well I missed my favourite player's OG.
  11. I've paid for a ticket and can't access this - help me somebody as I'm stuck in an Eventrite doom-loop.
  12. I heard we're looking to ditch Pix-E-Lottery, the sooner the better.
  13. Yep, I hope he manages game time tonight especially on a grass park. Ditto Callum Wilson, and I'm sure they are both desperate to get started.
  14. Aggies increasingly nervous Blues take on the resurrection shuffle Sons in a game which could be season-defining for both clubs. A home win would ease the pressure on Stranraer whilst if the Sons could win here and avoid defeat at Methil on Saturday then a play-off place could be virtually assured. Who wants it more ?
  15. Gallagher Lennon came into the team when we in a dire run. Between that and being played out of his natural position it was quite an ask. He'll benefit from competitive game time and playing alongside more experienced players like Sean Crighton. His main weakness is a lack of pace but that needs not be fatal in a central defender provided he can read a game. And funnily enough Matty Shiels never impressed many of us in his first spell here. The same Matty we were all disappointed to see go about six weeks ago. Fitba eh ?
  16. A fully deserved win and a great strike from Mikey Ruth against a strangely anaemic Peterhead side. But somebody answer me a question - why can't we leave Ruth on and play with two up front because his departure, and his ability to hold the ball, nearly cost us at the death ?
