Moonball

Brilliant to see Jinky back along with Elliott and Connor McManus. Here we go 20/21.

With a mind like that we could use you in showbiz!

Gal is on a pay as you play. Hopefully for everyone's sake it's a much better year for him, there's not many players who'd keep coming back from the injuries he's had. Hamill is often the target of some fans' frustrations (which I get) and receives OTT praise from others, but for me the reality is probably somewhere in between. Did fine in midfield towards the end of last season, so hopefully there's more of that to come. Good news about McIntyre and Phillips, both did a job coming in and hopefully they can kick on.

15 minutes from Glasgow city centre at Ralston, Paisley. What wouid you say his strengths/weaknesses are?

Lee is away unfortunately. Looked a good player and did fine for us when he did play, but was in and out due to injury. Jordan is a very decent player on his day, but his day isn't often enough IMO.

https://www.facebook.com/stranraerfc Not sure what's happened but if you drop the club FB page a private message, I'll give the chairman a heads up

Pretty much anyone on the committee will happily listen and take ideas on board - any one of Iain Dougan, Shaun Niven or Iain Robertson would be a good start. They all make themselves available so just send a message. Not wanting to dampen spirits and it's great to have ideas, but from personal experience they also create work, so if you can follow them through that's even better. Fundraising doesn't have to be done through the club, and IMO would even more effective if it was driven by fans, rather than the other way around.

who are you the data analyst?

Good luck to Max. You're getting a fantastic keeper.

Interesting listen from the manager and chairman on the league shutdown.

Would imagine Stranraer will have a decent chunk of the Rangers cup money left.

Unfortunately our cameraman missed the first penalty shout but here's last night's highlights.

9am pitch inspection tomorrow.

If they can't win, they should be mercilessly flogged on the Castle Green. In all seriousness, if we don't win on Saturday it becomes an even taller order, the players will know that and if they play like they have been doing, they're capable of a result. If it's as simple as turning up and rolling these teams over through sheer desire, I'm getting my boots out of the loft.

I sea what you did there.

Having played you back to back, both you guys and Falkirk seem to have lacked a bit of ruthlessness and grit to grind out a result. Looking like a two-way scrap to the death but think you might just edge it.

Mods, do the honours please.

You'd think the pitch was on the moon or something. The surface isn't good, but it's a grass pitch in winter, certainly bobbly and mushy in patches but not unplayable. Teams have been playing on much worse for years. As for plastic, I'm sure the surface at Falkirk is a bowling green but I've seen more sh*te games at the likes of Airdrie etc than I care to remember. With average crowds ten times that of Stranraer and a budget to match, you should be able to adapt. You didn't.

Div was a good player for us last season but has spent most of this season injured, Ian has been injured for most of his time at Stranraer and IMO didn't show enough when he did play. Would have liked to see Jones stay but we have better options up top. Johnstone, Stirling and Hamilton could all be back next week and there's another signing awaiting international clearance. Lewis McIntyre hasn't really put a foot wrong yet so may turn out to be a useful option too.

Can I bring my dog into the ground?

Purely from a football standpoint it might end up being a good thing as you say. Maybe not heartbreaking but the home club takes a hit when a Saturday game is postponed for midweek. It tends to knock a good chunk off the already slim attendance and means some of your regulars for both sides can't make it, plus there's other losses like programmes already printed, hospitality refunds, etc. Also a ballache for club volunteers who spend the week putting the work in ahead of Saturday's game, only to have to do it all again for the rearranged fixture
