Achilles tear apparently. Which sounds serious at any age.

If I was Truss I would beware being driven through any tunnels at high speed by a half-cut driver.

I agree that being hard to beat got us to the top of the league. The trouble is teams are now working us out and we're shipping goals without very much to offer in attack.

Aye, you wonder how much Kwarteng has cleaned up in his bet with Crispin Odey.

The most infamous woman from Paisley since Kelly Marie.

What a three days in Europe for the cream of Scottish football. As for tonight, Fiorentina are 13th in Serie A with two wins from nine, and were humped 4-0 at home by Lazio last weekend. Desperate stuff.

Cataracts, eh ? That might explain a lot.

McCoist and that Elgin, Peterhead shite - AGAIN !!

There's only one team in Eurovision.

FTFY

If this was boxing it would be stopped.

Really impressive 10-minute silence at the end mind you.

McNiff wasn't struggling due to lack of cover, he was 'torn to shreds' by a chronic lack of pace, and Love or anyone else can't alter that. IIRC Rovers had a speed merchant on the right wing so that's a worry. I agree on McKee, provided he turns up, but whilst Orsi will do more working deep than McLean we are at home in a game we want to win so we need some sort of goal threat. I also agree on Declan Byrne but the boy Haaland would be fecked in our team by 'passes' 60 yards long by 15 feet high. Stevie Farrell should be hammering that message.

You really have to chuckle. For a shower whose bampot of a leader urged ignoring Sturgeon a few weeks ago they are sure getting in a lather today.

Fine. Over to Stevie Farrell and his squad.

There seems to be a bit of you're not at the game so you can't have an opinion going on here. Bbpf is entitled to have an opinion no matter how he's consuming each game. Watching highlights is certainly much better than when I lived overseas and had a Dumbarton Reporter delivered every Thursday. Don't criticise folk if personal circumstances mean they can't attend games. I've been there and I've always been a committed Dumbarton supporter. I'm not questioning anyone's support or commitment but what I am suggesting is that seeing highlights of games is literally not the full picture. As for criticism, I think that's healthy debate, but abuse like calling a fellow supporter a 'knicker-wetting loonball' or an 'absolute fanny' because you don't agree with their opinion isn't. Or do you disagree ?

So your opinion is based on weekly highlights, thanks for confirming that. I welcome your take on the highlights of today's debacle. As for Farrell, I fear that he has more belief in his abilities than several of his players do. And as for the cliche about the league table not lying, that normally applies at the end of the season - the only time that actually counts.

Answers - Growing evidence, growing evidence, and advisable based on the last year. I'm all for constructive criticism too but I dislike denial, and there's a shitload of that going on right now. Now please answer my question - how many games have you seen this season ?

I think the key words in your reply may be 'I haven't actually seen'. Let me ask you then, how many of our 10 league matches have you actually seen ? I've seen 9 and whilst the seven wins on the bounce was great statistically it didn't tell anything like the whole story. The Albion Rovers win was daylight robbery and just about every game other than Annan was win a bit ugly. Defeat at Stranraer wasn't therefore a shock and neither was last week at Forfar. But today was an utter embarrassment from start to finish, and yes, questions need be asked about the relationship between the manager and his team. Quote statistics and unhappy hunting grounds if you want, but I'll stick to what I see in front of me.

I'm interested that most of the optimistic noises are coming from posters who probably haven't seen the team in recent weeks. Lorenzo might be blowing a fuse but he's not wrong on a number of points.

That is good news right enough, and I'd go as far as to say that a fit Findlay Gray will be needed for us to have a chance of going up.

So what happens if the £65 billion bung doesn't end the crisis?

OK, I never knew that so that sounds like a win/win. Anyway I hear that the exhibition is very good.

I think you'll need to explain that one?
