    Was wondering what Clyde’s plan was for a future home, great reading back through the thread to find stuff out. That’s crap the family have cut contact. With shawfield off the table, what’s plan B? Long term @ Hamilton?

    Why no just take over East Kilbride , change their name.

    A big toon like that otherwise they could overtake you !

    Look what you are keeping out SPFL clubs by keeping the playoff. Clubs with fans.

    Ok that argument lasted until Brechin had their 5th pen saved, but you get the gist of what I'm saying.

    Hi pal we are keeping them out on merit.

    Yes I would say the bottom team should have automatic relegation & play off for 2nd. Bottom.

    In the long run yes these bigger supported & wealthier teams will overtake us but until then we live to fight again.

    It is the perverse nature of football Jan that we could at last seal the title on a day we finally lose.   I'd prefer not to happen that way. but football can be a bitch.

    Congrats Binos but I do hope Annan do spoil the party on Sat. for no other reason we still need to consolidate 3rd. Spot

    Opinions and arseholes, eh? Much consensus and a few dissenting voices. I thought for much of the game Ireland looked slicker and more technically competent than we did, and that they probably deserved a draw. Now that we have got the result, we can afford to have a more objective and patronising assessment. I recall Ireland's keeper having only one save to make (from Fraser) and Gordon having much more to do.  That was partly because we have not got the technical ability to play out from the back. Our centre backs have to lumber and crank themselves in to position to play a simple pass-back to a goalkeeper who can't kick rather than try a more ambitious pass or bring the ball forward themselves. This leads on to one of the most highlighted problems. If Gordon can't kick well, why play so many back-passes (often to his right foot); this happened constantly in the earlier stages of the match.

    I didn't think the Irish team was particularly agricultural, or dirty, or hammer-throwing cloggers. But then I didn't think Gary Breen came over like a 'fan with a typewriter' either and his comments were mostly even handed. Finally, whilst not being exposed to Michael Stewart's musings to the extent most contributors appear to be, I think he is at least as insightful as any of our usual commentators/pundits, and better than most. Now, let's kick their arses at a hybrid shinty/hurling contest.

    Talking shit- Ireland more technically gifted !

    They started well and battled throughout the game - great from a spectator point of view but the superior team won at the end of the day - no saying we're world beaters tho.
