    If we'd held on against Arbroath then a draw tonight would have been a decent result. However, we really have to win to keep any realistic title hopes alive.

    I always knew it as the Tropicana, my dad knew it as Sexton's and my gran knew it as the West End bar.

    Stark's Bark started around 1992 then went into a hiatus from 1994-95 before reappearing at the start of the European season. It lasted until around 2002. Some of the Glasgow mafia apparently took exception to some of the home truths in it, but that's not the reason it stopped.

    I think it's just a case of the BBC using up their quota of games. The date wasn't moved for the telly - it was originally meant to be on the first weekend in February, but we had our diddy cup semi with Airdrie.

    The guy involved posts regularly on here and is one of the reasoned and insightful posters. I think his take on it was that if people are uncomfortable with the truth, that's their problem.

    We should maybe be enjoying the fact that the two games between the sides this season have produced eleven goals. Cue a 0-0 on Tuesday.

    It's not just numbers of police officers, it's strategy. I'm not blaming one set of fans any more or less than the other for the aggro on Links Street, but when most of the Pars boys are coming from the High Street, surely the police should be escorting them up Milton Road, which brings them closer to the away end anyway. The flashpoint is always outside the Estuary pub where Rovers fans are smoking and vaping outside, so surely diverting the Pars fans away from there reduces the chances of trouble.

    Hopefully McPake was just keeping Ooto fresh for Friday night.

    Given Partick have a potential six pointer with Morton next Saturday, it would be silly of them to risk any injury doubts against us. In fact it would be sensible to rest Brian Graham on Tuesday as well. Just saying.

    Aye, but do you have enough "Guid 'oanest laddies" in your squad who will "Dae great three quarters of the way up the park, but let themselves down in the final third"?

    I thought Grant was still in charge at the October 2021 game and I thought you never won a league game under him? There was a game in April just after we won the diddy cup, but our league form was abysmal - would that have been the game you're referring to?

    To be fair, Easton deserved a yellow for the challenge, but the antics from the right back on the ground were beyond embarrassing.

    Twelve from twelve? Oh I do believe so, Sir.

    6th May 1995. We'd have won the league if we'd won that day, but it ended 0-0 and we'd to wait another week.

    The Beveridge Park hotel is next to the station, but haven't been in it for a few years. Other than that, there's nothing directly en-route. The Novar (likely to be rammed) and the Abbotshall are a few minutes off track. I believe most Pars fans congregate in O'Connell's, next to Sports Direct on the High Street.

    My nutmeg mag arrived today. First time I've seen it properly. Very impressive.

    Annan are in league one - only one tier below us. A better example would have been East Fife - they're charging £18 for league two football.

    I'm surprised there was any need to involve the polis. Shaun would sort out bother better than they ever could.

    Not sure of the big issue with ticket prices - an adult taking an under 12 to this game will save a fiver compared with the New Year game at East End. Personally, I don't agree with increasing prices for certain games - it gives the opposition a sense of importance, but the fact we've filled so much of the ground in the games against Dunfermline and Dundee United suggests that the pricing isn't far off the mark.

    The Novar is decent, but will probably be mobbed. The Abbotshall, across the road, had recently reopened and is getting good reviews. Less than a ten minute walk from the ground. The Indian restaurants are all at the far end of the High Street and are unlikely to have football on.

    Spot on. It's a terrible rule in my opinion, but it's the rule just the same. Folk at all clubs get themselves into a seething mess over it, but should check facts before launching a tirade at the officials.

    Can't believe more teams haven't latched onto the idea of selling fudge doughnuts in the ground. Get in them in a meal deal with a steak bridie before the Scottish government ban discounted scran.

    The scenario you've outlined above is never likely to happen. Barcelona are pish these days and unlikely to be in a Champions League final.

    An Arbroath supporting pal of mine said it's possibly worth turning off for Arbirlot village and coming into Arbroath from that side.

    There are loads - There are two good ones at the harbour almost next to each other and, as said above, the Bellrock. They do a battered smokie which is epic.
