Another +1 for Yellow Pearl (second only to Into The Valley for current walk on music IMO), even though it feels quite weird hearing it and not looking at a TOTP graphic telling us how many places some obscure Shalamar record climbed the chart this week.
So, quite a bizarre game - I didn't think we were outstanding by any means in the first half, but Annan looked a bit of a mess and we punished them. Lovely move for the first, howler for the second, and a clever header for the third. Really should have been 4 up at half time, but Rory went for glory 1 on 1 instead of sending Hester through for a tap in. I didn't feel we were in any danger, but in the last half and hour we barely saw the ball, Annan finally woke up and started moving it around comfortably, creating chances and getting one back. A second goal when they were on top would have made the last 10/15 minutes excruciating, and I'm just glad their gun forwards weren't playing today.
Still hard to draw conclusions at where we are I think, just glad to get three points banked and safely down and up a very skittish M74 today.

Sorry, but anyone thinking SP is genuinely under pressure after 2/36 is either on the wind up or utterly loose at the cranium. Some of the performances have been iffy, yes, but there's still a bit of leeway and time needed to bed all the adjustments and new players in, and still an open window for loans.
Looking forward to finally making the trip to Galabank tomorrow. Is there only uncovered standing for the away fans? (forecast tomorrow looks utterly toilet)

Very untidy performance, the type that produces more questions than answers. Really need Waddell back ASAP.
Still not sure why our goal got chalked off either.

Didn't realise scenes of gratuitous spanking were permitted on the telly before 9pm.
Not complaining, mind.

Be some laugh with all the forwards on show and our thus-far shonky backline if this somehow finished 0-0. Anticipate this game to be a decent gauge of where we are - I thought Kelty might be sliding towards the bubble this season, but they look to have acquired quite well (CJ will almost certainly score against us I fear). Just hope this isn't another season with a fallable midfield dictating how things go.

Beating St Mirren in the cup is like making love to a beautiful woman...
Yup. Fun on Saturday, but when you try again on a gloomy Tuesday night you spend 70 minutes utterly frustrated before going home with no end product to show for it.
Forfar have us sussed out, and 4-1 wouldn't have flattered them tonight. Miserable.

Happy rejection for London ballot day everyone!

Couldn't follow live because work, but knew we'd lose, any big one off game and the bottle goes.
Surprised by how well we fared overall TBH - but is it because the associates are getting stronger or more to do with the test minnows getting weaker?....

First look tonight - Hester seems in good touch although he was largely marked out of the game. Bit lightweight in the middle but that might just be lack of sharpness/familiarity. Gut feeling is the eventual first choice XI when it all shakes out will be a handy enough unit, but not sure how strong the depth will be.

Could have gone either way, that one. Don't mind the general philosophy of what McCullum and Stokes are doing, but if they lose this series 5-0 with each test being a 2 wicket or 10/15 run defeat then how long will fans swallow it?
Scotland under way tomorrow early doors.

Fun day, but think I'd rather be in the Australian camp after that - it's a flat deck, and if they get in and bat for two days and coerce Stokes into risking his knee then it's a problem for Ingerland...

Would set the over/under on Hester at an 8 game ban with a few more suspended, actually tempted to think that wouldn't be a terrible outcome given how heavy the authortities can come down on it. Think we should still have an eye on a loan striker just in case.
EDIT: and yes, I do appreciate the irony of using a gambling analogy.

I fear the combination of ICC underfunding, racism enquiry-induced boardroom carnage, and the player losses either through retirement or taking the county pound are going to be a toxic payload that leaves us very vulnerable in the 3-5 year short term, sadly.
ION, will Bazball finally come a cropper tomorrow?

I like a lot of this but as much as I think Jimmy is great I think someone would have to be going some to be the best fast bowler in my lifetime and be ahead of Glenn McGrath.
Yup - I don't go for numbers too much, but McGrath could bowl better in England than Anderson ever could in Australia. We're talking fine margins at this level though.
(Walsh for me, personally. Felt he had much more cunning about him.)

This is a complete (but understandable) mismatch - the Nigels could rack up 600/3 by tomorrow teatime off this bowling if they want and roll Ireland over by Saturday lunchtime, tbqhwy.

Matty should be a very good signing for you. Whatley was a bit anonymous and didn't look comfortable last season but in L2 might be fine.

As a general rule, go for the orange and red - the most likely mathematical square a player will land on or play from is the jail/visiting square, so those sets within a 12 roll are where the paydirt is. Blue is okay, green the only expensive set worth going for. Everything else, no thanks.

If I was offered a choice of McIntosh or Hester, I'd probably pick McIntosh.
McIntosh + £20k or Hester?
No brainer.
The biggest scoring goal prospect in the in the lower leagues right now versus someone who has just been relegated from the league you are trying to stay in? Time will tell, but that's a wild take even for a Smokie.....

Big signal of intent. Just hope we're not over-extended £ wise on this and there's some dough left to get a midfielder or two. Presume this means CJ more likely to be away.

Goodbye and good riddance. Throughout my life you lot, Cowdenbeath and East Stirling were battling each other to finish bottom, now you're all gone,never to return..
Ooft, very buddhist of you.
Commiserations Rovers on being relegated into that basketcase of a league.

East End 0 - Maud 1. Made the short hop to the Seaton Skyerdome for the final innings of this season's North Superleague. Home side missed a penalty and several good chances, Maud a bit more physical and scored off a properly Sunday pub team defensive howler to win. The (lack of) standard in this league, especially the finishing, takes some getting used to, I have to say. Crowd of around 50-ish, not counting any tenants with pairs of binoculars.

Hopefully that's the last we see of Duffyball in this league.
Congrats Annan, looking forward to finally making the trip next season.

Only half a dozen passable songs in there. Not watched Eurovision for a while but don't remember quite that volume of dross. £5 each way on the Norway electro shanty if I must.

Purely from a selfish/tight arsed point of view (can't make the October league game, diddy cup usually cheaper to get in, £0 petrol if it's not pissing down), it landed quite nicely for me. But yes, can see why it is quite tedium, I always want Elgin away and never get it.
