I misread. My point was that Stranraer is further away from Dumbarton than Ayr. My arithmetic isn't hopeless. I have an E in "O" Grade Arithmetic so I'm qualified as an Arithmetician.

Not according to Google Maps. HTH.

Sorry Snudge, hit the red dot thing in error. I'll square it up elsewhere.

Quite a bit closer. Stair Park in Stranraer is 102 miles from the Abbotsford hotel.Ayr's Somerset Park is 51 miles away.

Reasonable goals to games ratio last year.Nice to see a Striker being our first signing. Does this calm down the impatient ones on here for a we bit then?

Fair enough. I just thought that those left in the playoffs were p/t. My bad.

Excellent news for us.It means that there will be a more competitive edge at the bottom end of the table, and two part time teams vying for ninth position or better. It's a much better option than us being the only part-timers next year. A warm welcome to the other part-time team, whoever you might be.

BBC Football gave us a decent mention recently, highlighting our good run in the Championship and reminding the public that we are doing well despite being p/t. Short, but decent article..

I was in Tampa two days last week. Nae sign of him. Must be coming back home, maybe he didn't enjoy the 90 degree heat.Sure I saw Jimmy Bullard in Univrsal Studios in Orlando, though.........needs a guid haircut.

That's an easy one. It's to do with the Clubs' colours. Both prominently feature black and gold.

Like others I'm sorry to see Taggart leave. Not bothered about the others that much. Hope we can get Brown off the books. And Nade back in again! Would consider Aggy again if it was up to me. As ever, the close season will be interesting. I hope Stee gets it right this year. I think he will do a lot better, somehow.

FFS, it's the Sun! More chance of Murray getting the Arabs job than Stee. And I think the chance of that happening is very slim too.

We've stiill to play a Hibs team that are guaranteed a play-off place, and are playing worse that at any time I can ever remember - 5 points from 24 as it stands. Surely Hibs will "Hibs it" when we play them? They've "Hibsed it" for weeks now, so maybe we can get a point - or three - as they take their foot off the gas again, in preparation for their demise in the play-offs?

If it's the season I remember, Morton were about 20 points clear at Christmas. They came to us early January and I think we beat them 3-0 or 3-1. The capitulationstarted after that. They ended up a point or two below us at the end of the season in fourth place, IIRC, and we missed out on a promotion because Hamilton pipped us to second place by a point or two on the last day. I can't remeber who won the league that year.

Do you actually know who Nowhereman is? He's far from "camp".

No, indeed you didn't. I did, however, interpret your post as you being a lot more confident than I am.

I'm just trying to have a reality check. Nothing would please me more than to be in the Championship again next year, but it'll be a rocky run-in to this season's end, IMO.

Whoa, easy tiger.In reality we're playin QoTS, whose record against us is unquestionably good, then against a confirmed play-off team, then a resurgent St. MIrren , followed by another play-off team, and finish against a team with nothing to lose. It will not be easy to get two wins from any of these games, in my opinion. Remember it's the Sons we're discussing here, and this hasn't been the easiest season!

Did you make a cameo appearance tonight, or did you just not go, as usual?Did you stand up and dance on the B&B couch as they hammered the wee Sons 1-0?

You just wrote that to pretend you read it, didn't you?I don't think you read long posts.

I take it you don't know Bennett very well. That is a pretty good summary you provided. However, please be prepared for a TL.DR-type of response from Bennett.......if any response at all. He won't read it, I'll hazard a guess.........

Noticed an article on the OS this morning, about Stee and Darren Barr going to do some acting in River City. Then I remembered what day it is today..............

Paul Simon/Art Garfunkle - Sound of Silence

Nice one. That's the incentive to finish eighth.
