I'd like to see Forrest get a run in that role.

Heard worse ideas.

A sneaky way to circumvent Bosman.

Eh, whit?

Think he's the best option for Scotland, by far. Also looking forward to Gary Holt leading Kilmarnock to 8th place next season.

Looks like more of a Garrincha than a Pele

I'd have thought being given the Scotland job would be punishment enough.

Will these tickets we buy online be scanned from our phones or are we going to need to print them out like it's the 1990s?

Not sure this is strictly true. First game against each opponent we were on title chasing form. Second time through we were still picking up enough points that would have seen us challenge for second projected over the season. The third game against each team we were bad like Falkirk - on pace for points in the mid thirties, but fourth time through we were on pace for points in the mid forties which would have been comfortably safe. Not sure that uptick was really recognised.

Thought Kenny Miller was getting that?

Last day of the season. Sad times.

I'd imagine Crawford might be looking for a team that will play him in the middle of the park every week.

If Forfar or Montrose win the playoffs I'd imagine the club will try to get by with minimal outlay next year, knowing we only need to stay ahead of two out of three part time clubs to survive in the division. Especially after extending themselves more than was comfortable this season.

Don't really care what they do after they leave unless they're playing against us.

No idea, just got sent the video. Would love to play it.

This is pretty cool.

Is there extra prize money for progressing through playoff rounds?

From an emotional point of view it would be good to see McCall finish up this season and choose to leave on a relative high. From the point of view of he probably wants to keep working I can't see anything changing. If there are two part time teams in the league next year we have a strong chance to stay up again. Probably won't have the highs of this season, but there you go. Despite everything, there are seven other teams in the division (excluding County and Alloa) whose fans are probably just as disappointed with how things have played out for their side as we are.

Always refreshing to get pumped off a village team. Saves us getting too excited about anything. Thought we weren't too bad though. Some bright spots and obviously not our strongest side. I do like Crawford and Murdoch together in midfield. Wouldn't object to having doc or kerr sitting behind them with one up front against strong opponents.

I'm not convinced Shankland is all that far away. He's getting chances in each game, so even if his movement isn't where it was at the start of the year he's still a threat. Could be he's snatching a bit because he feels the pressure from the goals drying up or maybe his eye's a little out, but I doubt either of those will be permanent problems. His build up play is still good and opponents are still worried about him. I'd agree that a rest would do him good, but I wouldn't bet against him getting back amongst the goals in the playoffs.

The Jones example isn't the same thing at all. No matter what he does against Rangers this season they'll be in the premiership next year. Smith could potentially be in a position to influence what division the team he's playing for next season will be in. It's crazy to think that wouldn't cross his mind.

Hoping Alloa survive without a playoff and two part-time team come up. Happy to throw Alloa three points towards the end of the season if we don't need them.

This makes playing Smith for the rest of the season a tough call for McCall. What possible reason could he have for wanting Ayr to go up rather than the team he'll be playing for next season? No matter how honest a player, it just makes no sense for him to see his current team promoted at the expense of his next team. Big judgment call. Geggan could fill the spot adequately on a short term basis. The manager will need to be 100% certain he's getting Smith's best effort to put him back out there.

With any luck the league will have two part time teams in it next season, which ought to improve chances of survival significantly.

Also lost to Falkirk on TV and the County game may have been an OK performance, but we lost the game.
