  1. 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.
  2. It looks like he played at the Rock last night with Rangers B winning 2-1 thanks to an injury-time winner.
  3. IMO Ryan Blair has been our most influential midfielder and he has become the effective fulcrum for the team. He has also shown a great degree of consistency, something which I think is often overlooked, and which is ahead of the others you mention. Re Joe McKee, he is still a very useful player but he is not now the guy we had first time around, and I'm struggling to recall a notable dead ball this season. Gray has a brilliant engine as you say but his energy sometimes needs harnessed. Wilson has taken his chance well and currently deserves his place. As for Ally Love, just concentrating solely on playing football minus the histrionics and we'll all benefit.
  4. I reckon neither of us has a pot to piss in, and FWIW I hear that Duffy and Grant weren't exactly getting on. Duffy knows McGeever. McGeever needs game time. Dumbarton need defensive cover. Sorted.
  5. I'm sure there's more to come out on this, never mind the timing, it's such a curious decision for a club at our level.
  6. Wow, that's either a mad or a brave decision, or both. I hope it comes off.
  7. When you say 'we' I take it you mean supporters, as I wouldn't trust desperate club owners and Boards of Directors to make the right call on this. And especially ours.
  8. Does anyone know what happens with hospitality in situations like this?
  9. Well that sounds like a right hard fought result if the BBC stats are anything to go by. A great away win though so well done guys
  10. Thanks, if it's hard enough to risk anyone's safety then I'm sure the ref will cancel it.
  11. If only that had applied to the banking industry in 2008, and probably in future too following Jeremy Hunt's idiotic announcement last week of a relaxation in the rules.
  12. I've been skeptical of the tactics this season, but that was some result today so very well done to Faz and the team. Long may it continue.
  13. There can no longer be any doubt as to which voting bloc Starmer is targeting, and it certainly isn't former Labour voters resident in Scotland.
  14. The refereeing was bizarre - there were at least two occasions in the first half when Gray was pushed in the back right in front of the ref and no foul was given. I read that the introduction of VAR has sucked refs away from the lower divisions, maybe we're fast-tracking some inexperienced guys.
  15. Yes, I noticed that too. And I thought last night's episode was right up there with the best, particularly the segment on the Championship season of 2014/15. Scottish football will never again feature a division containing Rangers, Hearts and Hibs at one end and Dumbarton, Alloa and Cowdenbeath at the other, with Falkirk, QoS, Raith and Livi as the meat in the sandwich. Mental but hugely enjoyable.
  16. My thoughts entirely. But that's three wins on the spin so let's take the points and move on to Elgin.
  17. The Subway Loyal have made some truly magnificent early exits in these Ibrox group matches.
  18. Christopher Hope of The Telegraph is extremely well-connected to the Tories so let's hope it's all about to implode - yet again.
  19. I think it's a bit of both Pete, but money is definitely a factor and it seems to be most evident in the striker positions. Over recent seasons we've taken risky punts on players such as Rory Loy, Denny Johnstone and now John Gemmell and all of them have backfired. You have to assume that none of them was on a big wage, likewise Jaime Wilson and Robert Jones, and we've also used temporary help like Layne and Oynisan. Ironically we let the best striker in Calum Gallagher more or less drift away. We are a League Two club and that makes loan signings more difficult than before. Meantime Wallace will likely become a regular starter up front and at least he has experience, but staying away from the bottom of the division may soon overtake a top four finish in terms of priority.
  20. Her name is an anagram of Near Gash. Cap fits apparently......
  21. I'm rather surprised at the reaction on here TBH. This was always going to be a deckchair-shuffling exercise by whoever came in, and if you consider that the 'new' cabinet is awful, and it certainly is, then consider the utter paucity of talent in the Tory gene pool - some of these buffoons can barely walk and chew gum. Sunak's Premiership will be a slicker and superficially more impressive shitshow than the previous two, but it will still be a shitshow. And the social and economic landscape has altered considerably since Osborne's original raid on the poorest, as the Tories are about to find out.
