Have to say, the pitch at Forthbank looks in great condition. Apart from a dark patch in front on each goal, it looks like it has barely been used. Best pitch I have seen in ages.

That was their second disallowed goal you are thinking about. The first disallowed goal was a cross from the right side of the pitch, just outside the box and headed in. The one that was just over the line before he crossed it was the second disallowed goal, the tap in.

Looked good to start with and looked like it would be our day, but not clinical enough after taking the lead. Had chances to shoot and hesitated too often and the ball eventually cleared. Could have been about 7-6. UoS better at passing the ball. We still head backwards way too often and faff about and lose it or just launch it. Still sloppy at the back. Hepburn dropped the crosses a number of times, but it was windy and rain blowing in his face. Rained the whole game and eased off at full time. Donald looked composed when he came on. Good to see Mac1 scoring. If only he got more service like that. Wasn't a sending off for Rodden. Ref tried to say he caught the guy just below the knee. Stirling boy had to go. Booked for diving and then a yellow card for the tackle. Would have been nice to progress, but better financially to be out.

All over. 4-2 again. Same as last season.

UoS down to ten men now. Second booking.

4-2. Good cross from Mac2 to Mac1 for a headed goal.

Five subs on at same time.

4-1. Stupid pass back and Hepburn had to dive at the guy's feet and let it slip for an easy finish.

Should have been a yellow card at most.

3-1 now. Carving us apart easily.

Rodden sent off for what should have been a booking at most.

2-1 UoS. Carved us apart at the back.

Awful defending and still persist with the stupid pass backs. Really should have been 2-1 to UoS there. Good save from Hepburn.

UoS scored again, but luckily the ball was just over the touchline before the pass was made for the strike.

UoS scored a good headed goal there, but wrongly ruled out for offside. Still 1-1.

1-1 now. Headed goal at back post from corner. Nobody defending the back post. Two UoS boys waiting for the cross.

It was early, but not straight from kick off.

UoS 0 - Cowden 1 McLaughlin l think.

Our game goes ahead. 3pm at Forthbank this afternoon if you want to experience the delights of the Lowland League Cup, Uni of Stirling v Cowdenbeath. £7 cash entrance for adults.

I was surprised that this was off. The weather is mild. Wonder what the chances of our game against Uni of Stirling going ahead on Sunday are.

I reckon it's about 60/40 that the game will go ahead. Frosty but not frozen yet.

Anyone got a spare £4k per week to tempt Greg back to Central Park?

Disappointed. Sitting in Belushi's in Edinburgh. Would have been on the train to Lithgae by now . Waste of money.

We could do with Jack and Doherty coming on. Need some attacking threat. Look more likely to lose unless we make changes.

Would that be tonic wine
