lionel wickson Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I've just watched the lob from Jones in slow motion. The amount of loft he gets on it is truly phenomenal and at its maximum elevation it very, very nearly goes out of the picture frame. I'm pretty sure that no part of his boot makes contact with the ball and it looks like it hits him just above his ankle. A still photo of it would have made for a cracking "Spot The Ball" competition in The Evening Times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Watching that Jones chance back, it would've been a cracker had it went in but f**k me why didn't he take it in closer and drill it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more frustrating watching it back and seeing how close Orrs chance was. Majority of the time Duffy buries that one in the first half too. As a great Stranraer fan often says, onwards and updwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only players who have played in the Championship and above in Scotland are eligible. Same goes with Jaime Wilson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every week your on about the filming and if it was ok we will get someone to pat you on the back so you can wag your tail I'm sure we'd all like to hear what services you provide to Stranraer and its supporters (apart from whinging about the manager of course). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I thought the Stranraer coverage was absolutely brilliant tbh. Good camera, fair commentary, professional broadcast. All for £8. Amazed anyone wants to take a shot at the people putting that out there. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stung on it after I made Darren Miller's page. Took me ages because he'd been around a host of clubs, then he signed...didn't play a single minute in the league and left. So his page was deleted. Weirdly it wasn't always the case. Craig Brittain has a page for example, and he didn't play above the Second Division. I'm not sure if he counts as notable because of the amount of appearances he made for us mind you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 I’d give us a 50/50 chance of going through tomorrow. I don’t think being at home really gives us much of an advantage. Would not be at all surprised to see it go all the way to extra-time and penalties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Got a bad feeling about tonight. All the pressure is on us. If Stranraer lose then it's probably expected as they're the lower league side. We need to win or we're down. It's 0-0, we're the higher ranked team and we're at home. We've had a terrible season and are so hopeless going forward that we'd struggle to score in an empty net. Huge amount of pressure on us. Difficult to see how Duffy puts a side out that can score, or even create many chances. Defence will be solid and big Wedderburn will graft. Beyond that? The Peterhead game was an exception. We don't have goals in us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) The thing is when we get the ball down and actually play football instead of this long aimless punt style, we look decent enough going forward. All too rare an occurrence though Edited May 11, 2021 by the snudge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I think we might just sneak thru tonight maybe with a dodgy penalty but it will be touch and go. Vital we stay in this league as it will give fans the chance of seeing what the new owners are all about with a 1 season safety net of not dropping pout of senior football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Slightly disappointing we’re being charged 12 quid for tonight. Would’ve been a decent gesture from the club to offer it at a cheaper price, especially after Stranraer’s very decent 8 quid effort on Saturday and in general the support the club has received throughout the pandemic. It’s not exactly a game we want to be forking out for in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t actually mind a 4-3-1-2 with Wallace as the 10, never going to happen though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
