We will have some professional pride to play for and try and avenge the 6-1 next week but it's as good a fixture as Clyde can hope for at this stage.
Jamieson and Wedderburn out for the season and we are off the boil in general.
Add in East Fife and Elgin to come and Clyde have essentially 3 games against teams who will be playing for nothing and on their holidays.
Not that I'd trust McCall much as he has no idea what his best team is surely they can muster enough against 3 teams which should be on holiday?
The Bully Wee.
In a similar vein, and if I could offer the Bully Wee faithful a glimmer of hope, this Saturday we should be looking to avenge the 5-0 humping we took the last time we were at Stair Park.
We are in decent form with four straight shutouts and whilst I think Faz will look to rotate the team now that we are in the playoffs, this creates opportunities for others to impress. I'd certainly start Hilton though as he's looked the part of late and he should know Stair Park very well.

Hideous conditions but the correct outcome. I was curious though why after taking the lead we failed to press more, especially as Clyde have a history of digging out late draws here.
Play-off spot confirmed, so two cheers for that, but as today's results showed there's still a lot of football to be played in this division.

See Rangers ? See pompous pish ?

Those names aren't familiar, but I only played there for a year or so around 1984 or 1985. I got a serious shoulder injury and had to quit.
At my age remembering names from away back is problematic ! Todd Smith (?) was one I think, and I remember 'Guddy' who mainly captained the B team.
I know them both and they are still about.

Is the Lennox pub still in existence ? We used to drink in there (upstairs I think) after rugby training about 40 years ago. That was with Dumbarton Rugby Club before the merger that formed Vale of Leven Rugby Club. Kinda showing my age a bit ......
Yes, the Lennox is still there but it's now a downstairs bar only of the busy howff type. The wee lounge upstairs was run by a very pleasant woman called Ruth back in the day.
I take it you were a teammate of Ian McGregor, Dougie Lockhart, Malky King, 'Joe' Benton and Alistair Kerr, to name a few ?

Maybe an age thing but you need to go further back.
Jimmy Weir, Willie Ormond, Willie Wallace, Jimmy Richardson, Alex Smith, Stewart Kennedy, Ray Dunlop, Ewan Donaldson for starters.
Perhaps worthy of a topic of its own?
What about my old workmate Archie Rose ? Archie gave sterling service to Stenny at RB in the 60's through the 70's with a break at Brockville.

Credit to the ref for not bottling the penalty decision. Could've seen another ref giving it as a free kick on the edge of the box.
Hilarious to hear the auld farmers shouting throughout. "C'man Farfir!"
It was definitely inside the box and Thomas Brindley immediately realised that.

I think that's a really key thing for the independence movement if it wants to succeed going forward. It's to acknowledge that people will vote Conservative, and up until the 80s was basically a Tory voting country. And that's not counting the small "c" conservatives who are happy and content with the status quo, have their representation at WM and the stability of being part of something bigger. If recent years are anything to go by, I think there will be a a change to voting intentions away from the SNP and towards maybe the Liberals and Tories.
I am not a polling expert, just what I think when talking to people in my office.
And what sort of office would that be ? An Estates Office in Aberdeenshire by any chance ?

The front door to the club, there certainly is someone manning it and they've told me on numerous occasions we can't get out, as recent as the last home game.
You mean like Scotland teams through the ages, it was easier to get in than back oot ?

With plenty at stake for both clubs this should be a full-blooded encounter and then some. The Bully Wee arrive on the back of Jordan Allan's late winner last Saturday whilst the Sons have quietly but effectively gone about their business since a truly dismal performance the last time these teams met.

Anyone know why the Broomhill game was off yesterday ? There was no mention of a waterlogged pitch on the BBC Sport website.

That’s a good, solid win. I’ve no idea what our record is up there but historically it’s a venue I’ve always viewed as a ‘tough place to go’.
Things seem to be clicking for us at the minute. We’re playing well and guys who have been contributing very little are starting look like regular starters in a team pushing for promotion. I have absolutely no doubt that the return of Mark Durnan has made a huge difference, a great captain and a really solid operator at this level. His return seems to have galvanised this squad and we can only wonder what might have been had him and Brett Long not missed the majority of the season. How did young Lennon get on at left back yesterday? It’s the one position that worries me a bit given we don’t actually have a natural left back in the squad.
Consistency is key so we need to keep this going heading into the playoffs. With Uncle Faz at the helm I’m never fully convinced we wont go out and get pumped next weekend but maybe that’s just the pessimist in me.
Lennon played well but in truth we didn't have a failure across the team. When you factor in that we had a goal disallowed in each half, the second of which was very debatable, it was a very decent win in very blustery conditions.
The only slight concern was the impressive Newbury failing to appear for the second half but I'm hoping that was precautionary rather than anything serious.
Forfar plugged away without creating a great deal - should have equalised at 1-0 however - and they struggled with the high-energy pressing and runs if Finlay and Carlo.

Very well done to everyone at Stenny, deserved winners of the title. You've waited a long time for this so do the celebrations justice

I see that Sarwar has come out strongly against UK arms sales to Israel. If I was a cartoonist I'd draw a sketch of Starmer releasing a wee wind-up toy on the M6 and pointing in it towards John O'Groats.

How are things looking weather-wise in the braw county of Angus ?
Edit to add - When I initially typed that sentence the word 'braw' was altered to 'draw'. It's really clever that AI stuff.

Correct it is over. The Scottish independence movement will go the same way as the Quebec one. A slow and steady slide into obscurity awaits under Westminster rule.

Eddie McCreadie did start at Drumchapel before joining Clydebank then 'Shire... but East Stirlingshire v Chelsea was Monday 28th October 1963.
Chelsea visited Birmingham City in the league 2 days before facing Drumchapel, then visited Workington in a League Cup tie 2 days after.I'm pretty sure Chelsea visited Kilbowie twice in fairly quick order in the mid 1960's to play friendlies against ES Clydebank. The young me was at one of them, I'm sure it was a Friday night, which finished 2-2 in front of 6-7000. I seem to remember Marvin Hinton scoring one of the Chelsea goals.

Forfar have been nothing if not consistent this season, but maybe not in the way their fans wanted - draws or dross, take your pick.
With East Fife revving up and facing a stuttering Stenny we really need to go for this. As such I'd definitely play Carlo from the off and bench Calum Wilson. Elsewhere the team picks itself but James Graham could be a useful option on a pitch which should be conducive to football.

Stenhousemuir had a capitulation to end all capitulations a number of years back. 2006ish? I'm not for a minute suggesting it will happen again, in fact Gary Naysmith is far too shrewd a gaffer.
I think the only capitulation to rival it was Raith Rovers in 1980-81.
Nicky Jamieson is now injured, they can't buy a goal and several players look as if they are feeling the pressure. This could be the biggest collapse since Devon Loch.

I had a viewing companion for the game today. Though it may have been the mud bath of a pitch that was more appealing than the football being played on it.
Truly impressive Easter eggs there - respect !

I wouldn’t rule it out. I don’t think they have any particularly hard games.
Stenny might disagree.

You do know that the actor who played Hiram Holliday was Wally Cox ? Seems you've chosen well.
