Be painful to see him in an Arbroath shirt. Great player and great signing for them.

The 5-0 scoreline was maybe a freak. But we weren't in good form and a result like that had been coming at the time. If we'd lost 3-0 that night I don't think that would've been much of a surprise. And Stranraer deserved a very comfortable three points.
We've turned a corner since then. No doubt about that. Mainly because Mark Durnan is back. But we've won (iirc) nine games at Stair Park in our history. And Faz will 100% be rotating the squad between now and the end of the season. Tony Wallace has played every single game, is 33 now and is a huge player for us. So he'll drop to the bench for a spell I reckon. Personally I wouldn't be risking Michael Ruth from the start and I'd probably be tempted to give Finlay Gray a breather at some point over the next few weeks.
On the more positive side from a Clyde point-of-view, Kalvin Orsi has been struggling to for gametime basically all season because of injury. But could be a massive player for us in the playoffs. So I'd imagine he'll get a start if he's fit; and it'll maybe be a chance for guys like James Graham, Marc Kelly and Aaron Healy to show what they can do. None of them have had so much as a sniff for about a month now, so you'd like to think they'd be keen to grab a chance.
Never ever put your faith in Sons getting a result at Stair Park though.
I'd honestly forgotten about him.
Credit to Farrell for really bringing out a good run of form when it mattered. 4 wins in the last 5, with the other being a draw is excellent. 6 wins and a draw in the last 9, too. Given the game prior to that was the 2-0 defeat against Clyde, where we looked absolutely done, it's been a quietly remarkable turnaround. The Stranraer away game was extremely disappointing, but other than that, we've looked pretty good. This will easily be the best form we've gone into the playoffs in under him, with a squad that has a bit of depth and can hopefully stay injury free. The other sides around us look underwhelming and I think we're very capable of winning the playoffs. If it wasn't for the trauma of the last two seasons, I'd be pretty confident that we'll do it. A 6-0 first leg defeat up at Peterhead is written in the stars, isn't it?

Nope. They absolutely had our number that season. Beat us 3-0 at home and 2-1 away. And we drew 2-2 at home (after being 2-0 up against 10 men with 88 minutes played) and 4-4 away (after going behind 3 times and having 10 men). They then got relegated, played us again in the Betfred Cup a few months later and won 3-1.
Thats mad! I assumed we must have beaten them at least once in the season they went down.

I don't think I've ever seen us beat a McCall team before, so that's a nice added bonus.
Did we never beat his Ayr side in the Championship?

An absolute certainty Dumbarton will lose at Stranraer next week.
Rumour is Faz will put out the U17s to help out his old side.

Playoffs confirmed. Hopes ready to be crushed again.
Annan are in good form, I’d want to avoid them. I know QoS are awful, but I reckon Faz would shit it against them, with them being full-time. Stirling, would be my choice, please. Neither Peterhead or Spartans in convincing form. It’s there to be won.

Favourable games left for Clyde. I’d still reckon they’ll avoid 10th.
That said, apologies in advance for the 3 points we’ll be giving Stranraer.

Pretty poor half from us. I know the wind isn’t helping, though.
At least East Fife are losing.

How reliable is the WiFi in the bowling club? In case I decide to watch the game in there...
I’d be more concerned about the reliability of the pitch and it being on!
I’ll be holding off buying the stream until closer to KO.

Maybe the people in the trust who made the decision are better informed and know more about what actually happened than all the people speculating here
Undoubtedly. That’s why I said “optics to the average outsider”. And optics are important. You’ve got someone saying they won’t donate any more money to the trust because of it. Regardless of whatever the non-public info is, it’s just not a great look, is it? But if the club/trust had laid out all the facts, there wouldn’t be speculation. And what we’ve been told, doesn’t really make sense.
Anyway, it’s much more important that we get promoted, than any of this.

If people feel so strongly about it and are Trust members maybe they should explore a vote of no confidence.
Meh, I think that would be an unnecessary distraction from the real issues going on at the club and I’d be surprised if anyone was that bothered by it. I think it would’ve been odd if folk hadn’t commented on what seems a very strange situation, with an element of double-standards, but the fans need to stand united. It doesn’t seem like the trust dealt with it perfectly (in terms of optics to the average outsider), though I can’t pretend I know what the perfect approach would’ve been. Let’s just forget it and move on, I reckon. Bigger fish to fry and all that.

Stream is now available to buy.

Does feel a bit double standards, but again, the whole situation is so murky, that it's unclear what's really gone on.
What's perhaps more surprising, is that the player decided to remain at the club. Especially if, as suggested, he didn't accept the apology.

It was definitely inside the box and Thomas Brindley immediately realised that.
Oh, I don't doubt it, but I'm sure some refs would've bottled it.

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!"

If you're a smoker don't go to the stadium as they won't let you out (well they will, you'll just need to pay to get in again).
I thought that was only a policy we enforced when playing St Mirren to give the manchild Div something to cry about.

I definitely spotted a few Clyde fans in the stadium bar last time. It's insane that we wouldn't let away fans in.
