They can take Dumbarton's owners as infill below the centre circle.

If you mean the match taking place then the short answer to your question is that if there is any sort of firm to hard frost then the game is fucked because no matter how bright and sunny a day it is, the infamous strip of doom will do for it. And before anyone mentions the covers apparently they are 'damaged'. If though you mean having the sense to call an early inspection, well, now, that's erm...let me get back to you.

The Stirling statement is accurate and to the point. But above all it actually exists. Meanwhile down the Castle Road....

Well don't laugh but I hear there is now a thought to move the pitch markings and the posts two metres towards Morrisons ahead of the remaining home games to make sure all the pitch gets the sun.

What exactly is this ?

Wow, well I hope you fire an Email to the club pronto.

Well, this one aged well. But to be serious, I have every sympathy with the Stirling people on here who are raging and would encourage them to submit a complaint to both their own club and Dumbarton. Not forgetting that Sons have supporters who also travel a distance to games here who will also be pissed off. It's easy to slag off the groundsman, but he shouldn't bear sole responsibility for this latest fiasco. The DFC Chairman and the club's two Directors now need to ensure that after these repeat shambles this can't happen again.

Really ? Where are you - Tenerife ?

By a strange coincidence I'll be meeting a Hythe resident this coming Tuesday night. I'll try and get his take on this.

With everything that's going on in the world it seems trivial to get exercised over BBC radio presenters. However... Radio 2 has been my go-to station for years but I can see that now changing. It's not the departure of the likes of Steve Wright and Ken Bruce per se, it's the quality of the replacements. Scott Mills and Vernon Kay are awful, with the former really well into dry boak territory. As for Kay, he's a classic case of someone who has Keith Lemon-like pinged about light entertainment for years without any discernable talent. It'll be interesting to see the listening figures over the coming year or so.

Not a problem, we'll still have Meet The Manager.

A great article which hits the nail firmly on the head, with the key phrase 'doom loop'. We've already reduced our spend there - M & S is often now cheaper for basics - and I'm not surprised people are voting with their feet. In a sane economy leverage buyouts would be illegal, but not in UK plc.

The key word here is Morrisons. As a long-term user of this supermarket I've become aware of it's decline ever since it was taken over by a private equity combo. As someone who recently retired from a company under similar changed ownership I can say with some confidence that the bottom line is all that matters to these people, and they will grab any opportunity to boost it.

I think form will determine both the attendance and the mood.

That was long on reassuring words and very short on match analysis. And there was nothing freak about the winning goal, it was a series of defensive errors.

All of the above. I'd also add honesty, notwithstanding the opprobrium that has been heaped on Kate Forbes for expressing it.

She gave them red meat or she gave them it straight, take your pick. In politics there is such a thing as collective responsibility and I'm pretty sure Kate Forbes is aware that her winning the leadership wouldn't be a mandate for her to legislate hellfire and damnation across the Scottish nation. There's a grown-up debate needed here about where Scotland should be headed and that includes a whole raft of boring but very important issues outside of the current feeding frenzy. If Kate Forbes or anyone else with strong religious convictions were to deliver improvements in education, drug deaths, homelessness and ambulance waiting times then even the nation's youth might be impressed. I have no absolutely truck with religion but I've equally no time for those who insist on absolute purity of their own beliefs in anyone wishing to run for high public office. Tolerance works both ways.

I'll make two comments here. Jim Fairlie's comments are measured and I hope they are actually considered ahead of any rush to condemnation and hysteria. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, when the right-wing press appears to dismiss Forbes' leadership bid it's not done primarily to highlight reactions from a religiously intolerant membership, but rather it's an indication of how much they are intent on preventing her standing as they consider her a political threat.

Please give us evidence of this 'divided mess' and what exactly it entails. I'll wait.

I think it was more philosophical than personal. I wish him well, he gave it a go.

He's not leaving over money issues, and in fact he invested a fair amount of his own in his time at the club. The departure concerns a difference in opinions which it seems can't be resolved.

So apart from flaky Pixie Lott, a website from Hell and a pitch like soggy pakora everything's tickety-boo ?

I did a week check on the top goalscorers of some League Two teams... Tommy Goss, Annan = 19 Dale Carrick, Stirling = 14 Matty Yates, Stenny = 11 Ben Armour, Forfar = 6 Declan Byrne, Sons = 5 Make of that what you will.

It looks like he played at the Rock last night with Rangers B winning 2-1 thanks to an injury-time winner.
