Right then, what dates are these bloody playoffs and who is at home first?

Pity Bonnyrigg equalised at the end of about 20 minutes of injury time. These margins could be important.

'Mon the Spartans instead? I can get on board with that

Yeah I'd be happy with 6-1

I know. Dreadful journalism on every level!

Nope, that'll be eleven points clear of the relegation zone.

Admittedly I haven't been in for a few years, but the number of non-Peterhead blue shirts on the walls in the pub at Balmoor would leave any passing visitor in no doubt of the staunch credentials of Peterhead

10-touch-Tam is world renowned for his lightning sprints from a standing start. Can't be too harsh on the Peterhead line for failing to react. They were probably watching in awe.

Cautiously optimistic of taking something from this one but mindful of our terrible record away at Forfar. I didn't think there was much between the sides in the league cup, so hopefully with an actual real life striker playing up top and with 3pts already under our belts, we can give a better account of ourselves and come away with at least a point.

I know its early doors and I'm not at the pant-pishing stage yet, but I'm definitely concerned about the new season, no matter what positive spin I try to put on it. I've not felt like this since we got relegated in April 2009 after finally getting Gerry Britton out of the club. Knoxy came in, made some inspired signings, we stabilised then kicked on. We're signing guys now from Blantyre, Spennymoor and Cumbernauld Colts. Back then it was Craig Malcolm and two youths on loan from Celtic who went on to play in the Scottish Premier League and became full internationals. I'm hoping Albion Rovers are shite and that will be enough to keep us up, but from what I've heard it's been pretty poor so far, albeit against stronger opposition than we'll face each week in League Two. I'll see us in Forfar on Tuesday so that will probably be a better indicator of where we're at. Nevertheless it definitely feels to me like it will be a season of looking over our shoulder instead of looking ahead. I sincerely hope I'm wrong on that front though. #MonBlu

I wasn't at the game, and the stats make it seem like it was pretty evenly matched. For want of any other reasoning, our insanely good record against Stenhousemuir over the last few years has made me decide that this was very much two points dropped.

Agent Swift successfully serves up another 3pts for Stranraer. Once a Blue... Etc etc

Jesus wept your patter is woeful. Good game though, enjoyed that. Glad to have escaped without any serious injuries seemingly. Time to stick it to Albion Rovers on Tuesday.

Quite refreshing to see that Martin Boyle will in fact cheat against anyone, no matter what level the opposition play at.

Could just as easily be in the Lazy Journalism thread but the standard line in the press seems to be 'Brora nearly claimed another cup scalp against Stranraer' when in fact Brora were strong favourites with every bookmaker to win the tie. It's trotted out time and again how the likes of Kelty Hearts and Brora would thrive in the SPFL, but Stranraer have seen both of them off in the last two rounds of the cup. The same Stranraer who went a calendar year without winning a game. Just saying

He's now an Independent Financial Advisor. Not sure what he did before but I thought he was involved with the Dons in some Business Development capacity.

Andy Covidonenine?

Thanks to The Rangers for our share of the gate receipts. Should see us right for a few years if we don't squander it. That's about all we can take from this in truth. Admittedly outplayed all over the park. You've got better footballers, but your kit is honking and your players haircuts are appalling* *disclaimer, I'm well aware how unpresentable Ryan Stevenson and Jamie Hamill are.

Bostock is a waster. A bit of talent there for sure but a terrible attitude and known to down tools when things aren't going his way. He'll do an impressive Michael Jackson impersonation in front of his new team mates if he does sign though.

Where I made my debut in 1995. Halcyon days. Thanks for the memories.

Kyle Turner joining from Stranraer rumoured to be a done deal. Hopefully with him either being loaned back for a season or a fair development fee being received.

Would Tony Docherty fancy a crack at the managers job, or a certainty to follow DM to Sunderland as assistant?

Got a trip planned in February: Istres v Chateauroux - fri Montpellier v Rennes - sat Toulouse v Lens / Lyon v Nice - sun Nimes v Nantes - mon France v Spain - wed Awaiting confirmation that my mate has got tickets but might be going to Fulham v Basle this Thursday too.
