Fair enough, fair enough. Carswell would've been next in line for me.

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see a clean sweep for Dom.

I think this'll happen too. I hope Dom brings a box for carrying all the trophies.

You do realise it's not like those TV shows where the one with the highest votes gets punted, right?

Looking at our previous winners: Dowie, Martin, Fleming, Graham, McGinn, Lister.

Actually...

Do we think loy will actually kick another ball for us? Being that he was signed on a 2 year deal he will likely be around next season unless he retires. Can we afford to keep paying him a full season to do nothing?

No. I would like to think there would be an agreement for him to quitely slip out the back door in the summer.

Depends on Duffy thinks he's worth the risk.

We don't really have a choice. He's got a contract - we pay him until he agrees to walk away.

Technically aye, but we could agree a severence package that works out cheaper in the long run. You could also find that if he is fucked and can't play that he's offered a coaching role elsewhere that means he's happy to walk for nothing.

Either way I'd be fairly surprised if Loy is still with us come August.

I agree with this.

I refer you to the 2nd part of my post.

We pay him until he agrees to walk away. He'd need to agree to a severance package. He might not be willing to do so if this is his last contract in football.

Is this an attempt at humour ??

Just as bad as Hutton’s general game play if it is.

Hutton was no better or worse than any other Sons player today.

Rejoice in earning a point at a difficult away game ffs

What out of you'll be accused of being in the Hutton fan club 

[O'Kelly Isley III 3,001]

Aye, well. A creditable draw at Forfar but such is this crazy division we're still running to stand still. I think we should park all chatter about POTY and concentrate on the job in hand. Is anyone up for a Survival Vigil outside the ground from 8pm this Friday until kick-off time on Saturday ?

[Bring Back Paddy Flannery 5,892]

Thankfully it isn't the fans on here who have to do that.

We may have bigger issues given we have already started selling season tickets at top end League 1 prices. I had a quick look at the League 2 prices after today's game and it looks like the average going rate is about £160.

The way this season has gone I wouldn't rule out some twists and turns to come.

[microdave 1,507]

Is anyone nervous? I'm not, which is unusual for this time of year. I had no nerves about the outcome of the season last year, just resignation of relegation but the few seasons before that I had a knot in my stomach from about six weeks before the end.
