There are two things I’m confident of today, the sun is shining and we are not getting relegated. I’m not confident of a result today, obviously I’m hoping for one, just not confident. That said, I’ve been thinking since McKinnon came in that we’ll have one of those weeks we create a lot and for once put the majority of them away, today would be a good day for that. Apologies for droning on, obviously feeling a bit nervy….

We would’ve secured 10th place weeks ago

Friday evening is a crap time for a final especially if you’re travelling.

Yes, the last times the Loons were in the final we were away at Alloa on a Sunday (2015), then away to Peterhead on the Saturday (2017 or 18?). As an Annan supporter you should know as you were in the playoff final last year after defeating us in the semi.

This is likely to go to the final day of fixtures.

Just looking back at our results and under McKinnon we are as follows: Played 18, Won 9, Drawn 6, Lost 3, Points, Points 33. Given it’s a 36 game season at that rate we’d be hypothetically finishing on 66 points, that would surely equal first or second place. Oh for having Ray in all season.

Sorry about that Rovers Ben, I suspect I know exactly who was behind the sectarian comment, he’s a big Rangers fan and I’ve heard him shout a few Rangers things recently.

It’s far from over, recent results show that every team is capable of beating every team (with the obvious exceptions of Dumbarton beating Forfar and Forfar struggling getting anything from Stirling and East Fife) as a Loon I’m hopeful (not confident) we’ll make it into the top four at full time on the last game and would want Stirling to be champions for two reasons, we wouldn’t fear Dumbarton in the playoffs (not saying we’d necessarily beat them but do seem to have their measure) and Stirling Albion, from what I’ve seen, are the strongest side in the division. Stirling Albion obviously have a points advantage and a game in hand but slips can happen, all to play for but league positions at the end do not lie.

He’s 5h1te, you don’t want him.

I wasn’t there so can’t really comment but a mate of mine was and said the Stenny groundsman said the ball was definitely over the line.

Comments like this from someone who, as far as I can see, doesn’t display a “My team”. Seems to be he is in football terms like his sex life, all alone…..

Easton was very frustrating in my eyes, he has an abundance of skill and flair but all he wanted to do was hold onto the ball and try and beat everyone twice, he wasn’t what you’d call a team player, I coach 11 year olds that are more mature.

Apart from saving a goal bound top bins free kick?

Hence why he received League 2 Manager of the Month

If he plays more than 15 minutes for Tranent then he’s doubled his playing time for the season. We were quite hopeful for him at Forfar but it was an unmitigated disaster. I wish him well though, if he can somehow avoid injury he’ll be great for you.

We’ll remember every minute he played, all 15 of them

So was the Forfar penalty, on the line is in

Keatings away to Tranent Juniors

Watching this the Dumbarton penalty looks very soft to me

Not a bad thing, Sparky’s played his part in steadying the ship and performed much better than some naysayers had predicted. Not a long term solution but happy to see him stay for the rest of the campaign then see where we are.

There’s a long way to go, we’re not out of the woods yet, I’m becoming increasingly confident we’ll be safe with games to spare and might even sneak a play off place, but I wouldn’t go laughing at Bonnyrigg just yet.

He’ll never be as good as his grandad (Gordon) but is a good signing, I liked him at Station Park and wasn’t on my own in my opinion

So, in their infinite wisdom, the SFA have downgraded Brindley’s red card to a yellow….. are they serious? My honest opinion is it wasn’t a foul, not by Brindley anyway, if anything it was a late challenge by Dingwall. I’m angrier than I would have been if they’d let the red stand. Obviously it’s good news for Tomas and the club that he doesn’t serve a suspension but they’ve actually looked at it and still think it’s foul play by Brindley, no wonder they keep getting poor calls even with VAR.

Good to see the club are appealing the red card, they should successful but it’s the SFA so I’m not holding my breathe…..
