Going to be watching this with one eye on the game and the other on the score updates from Palmerston and Meadowbank...
Falkirk are certainly worthy champions but hoping they have got holiday fever now. A point for Annan would be a good result-for both teams.
Enjoy your day tomorrow Falkirk but Mon th Annan!! We need it more than yous
We've looked just as hungry in the games since the title was confirmed. What could be our undoing here is the Donaldson suspension on top of Lang's injury. Mackie and Henderson have performed admirably this season when needed at the back but this will be the first time they've started as a CB pairing. Rest of the team picks itself and hopefully the forwards do what they've done all season to relief any pressure on the defence.

We've got a team who've failed to meet the criteria - and are giving off the vibe that they don't actually want promotion - and another sugar daddy club who play at a leisure centre.
Not a great advert for the pyramid tbh.

Let’s hope the 2 sets of players get together pre match and agree a shotless 0-0 is best for all parties.

For the Premier League shirts on kids, that's been the case for 30 years or more. I'm 37 so was just a kid when the EPL kicked off in '92. My parents got me loads of shirts when I was a boy. Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle. Even a belting Man City away kit in the Kinkladze days. I actually think you see more Scottish tops on youngsters these days (you'll always have lads having the EPL tops, plus Inter Miami etc due to Messi) but you also see a lot more tops of the "diddy" sides around. Being in Lanarkshire, I see a lot more kids wearing Motherwell tops, which is great, but I've even seen youngsters wearing Hamilton & Airdrie tops, which you would hardly ever see 20/25 years ago.
I take my wee man to a football class and Falkirk and Scotland tops comfortably outnumber OF, EPL and big Euro clubs most weeks. The kids are alright

Why did you have to put that in the title?

That's been coming tbf. Showed a decent bit of fight against us a few weeks ago and looked lively on the break. They could still have a say in the play-off fight down the bottom.

I've fancied Accies to do well in the play-offs since it became clear they were finishing second. Comfortably ahead of their potential opponents with time to rest key players and work on their strategy. Starting to doubt that now given how easily the heads went down when we took the lead. Misplaced passes all over the shop culminating in an embarrassing giveaway for our second goal. Alloa also seem to be hitting form at the right time.

Kelty should be on the beach next week and there's a good chance Alloa are resting players on the final day. That leaves Annan who are fighting for survival but looked like a complete gang recently, despite stealing a point. I'll be incredibly disappointed if we fall short now.

Longridge and Tumilty are their two defenders with the most minutes. They may try and shoehorn in Euan Henderson (10G, 5A) at LW even though Miller's numbers are better. He had a bit of hype about him earlier on in the season.
I think Burrell is a shoo-in as the top scoring striker in the division.

It might be tough seeing these clubs ahead of us the pecking order at times but I'd far rather our model than theirs.

Didn't we give them a section of the Main Stand once, moving the season ticket holders?
Yeah, in one of the Championship seasons. Doubt we'd do that now given the new board and how healthy our crowds have been.

Is it fair to be comparing Livingstons "dormant" support to that of Kilmarnock?
Far as I can see Livingsons move in 1995 virtually forced them to rebuild their fanbase from scratch so it's not as if there's thousands of generational fans just waiting for an upturn to crawl out the woodwork when things are going well.
Probably not, but there are lots of houses being built in West Lothian, so potentially a new fanbase to tap in to as it grows as a commuter town. My mate lives in Bathgate and two of his wife's friends have started taking their kids along to Livi: one a Celtic fan and the other who mainly follows English football. The fans are there if you're willing to be brave.
Quite a relief that TFS is the size it is. If we do draw one of them in the cup - or reach the Premiership again - they'll get the full North Stand and the stadium will be close to capacity which will save all the tedious debates.0 -

The only negative of promotion is having to deal with fans of absolute non-entities like Morton and Airdrie.
Our champions Tweet on Saturday was swarming with Airdrie, Morton and Livi. Have a day off.

Looked back on our results. What a lot of goals! You sometimes forget the 5 goals and 4 goals games dotted through the season.
At the age of 66 and having watched the Bairns through the good times and bad i am sure that this team and this season has been the best Not just winning but destroying the opposition at times. PROUD
We're top for goals scored across the whole SPFL and second only to Rangers for goals conceded.

A sober one for me yesterday as I took the car but just as enjoyable getting to see the buzz on the wee man and his pal's faces when they ran on the pitch.

It's an accident waiting to happen. Ridiculous that they can't push the fence back to free up the pavement for a couple of hours every second Saturday.

Superb decision to go with O'Neills

I'll email the Jags today. We're actually seeing our games affected by VAR in the upper league. Referees are taking more time to make decisions. Against Dunfermline we had one of those nonsense offsides where he waited until Graham had rolled the ball in before flagging instead of flagging immediately for Milne. In other words we've taken the decision for something to be implemented which certainly won't directly benefit us but which has absolutely made things a bit worse for us.
Would echo this as well. Even though we don't have it in L1, it feels like the standard of officiating has been poorer since it was implemented in the Premiership. More of the top officials required to operate it meaning a talent drain further down.

Last ever trip to 'Grangemouth' for this lot

Surely we're not being dictated to by Lincoln City ffs. Both keepers have their flaws, so play the one we actually own in the hope he improves.

4D chess from McGlynn to keep Rankin in a job for another few weeks

Earliest the title can be won is at Stirling but it would take a very unlikely set of results. We'd have to win our next three - Annan (H), Cove (A), Stirling (A) - and hope Hamilton lose their next two. I could see them dropping points at Kelty at the weekend but Edinburgh are such a rabble that three points should be a gimme.

I'd be amazed if Alloa went full strength on Saturday. They're a part-time team going straight into a Tuesday-Saturday playoff with Hamilton. But they'll still be a dangerous proposition as there will be fringe players trying to stake a claim.
Ideal scenario is that we get a couple of early goals and turn it into a training match like we've done numerous times at home this season.
