McGlynn will have Graham Weir and Stevie Hislop waiting in the wings. Aye, and Chris Silvestro will be easier paid than Nat Wedderburn.

Unfortunately he signed a new contract last week as a player / goalkeeping coach.

No, no. They play in blue. The team we played wore red. Was it Bayern or Bayer something? Leverkusen maybe? No, but it was something like that.

With no football to look forward to over the next few weeks, keep us entertained with your stories about watching your team in the 4th tier of Scottish football. We've never had the pleasure. I bet you've got some great tales to tell.

I really thought Flanagan was literally going to shite himself when Bene charged at him with a few minutes left yesterday. And, as you say, it was richly deserved.

We didn't defend well enough on Wednesday or offer enough going forward today so no complaints about the final outcome. It's somewhat ironic that we put in such a strong, committed defensive performance today when up against one of the best players in the country (he is a class apart, despite not actually scoring over the two legs). All the best to Queens next season. Always enjoy a visit to Palmerston - it's a decent ground to watch a game at, the staff at the ticket office and pie stalls were very pleasant and polite, and the purvey was tasty and reasonably priced compared with other grounds.

I think this sums up the difference in stature and ambition between Rovers and East Fife. One club's fans are debating about the degree of change required to bridge the gap from play off finalists to title contenders, whereas the other club's fans are wanking themselves into a frenzy of excitement having extended the contracts of almost the entire squad and manager who led them to 4th bottom of the league.

Took the words out my mouth neebur.

The Lochar Inn was the best pre match boozer a few years back. Not been in recently. Other favourites of mine in Dumfries are The Hole in the Wa and the Globe, although neither are in close proximity to Palmerston.

No, that's not everything. You forgot Lee Robinson in goals.

Did he not bag both goals at the San Starko last Saturday? Aided and abetted by rank rotten defending and goalkeeping, but two goals nonetheless.

Not likely. We couldn't keep hens out a close.

Aww. Wish him a speedy recovery aswell. Can only be mid 40s? 42 apparently. That would be right as it's coming up 25 years since THAT save from Alan Lawrence and he was 17 at the time.

Awful news, had no idea he was at the game. Hopefully nothing too serious. It was at the Hamilton game today. Still awful news though and hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

Brechin had told the Rovers they were expecting to bring at least 150 fans with them today.
