Insipid 1st half interrupted by 2 lengthy injury stoppages for head knocks. Alloa look better going forward than we do. Only the 5 forward players on the bench for Rankin to choose from after Winter came on for Macdonald.

I'm not saying we should bet against our own team here guys but Alloa are 6/1...

Montrose available at 3/1 with the bookies. On recent form am I missing something here?

I've got other commitments tomorrow but even if I was free the idea of spending £40+ on a ticket & travelling through etc to watch Falkirk kick off their title-winning party isn't exactly enticing - esp with the heavy rain forecast. This league is done. Accies are probably safe in 2nd so all games for us are effectively dead rubbers to keep the players fitness levels & match sharpness ticking over until the playoffs - not that I think that Rankin has the capability of leading us through to win them anyway. Obviously I hope I'm wrong but I have a real feeling that Falkirk are going to turn us over tomorrow with a proper title winning statement win by a good few goals margin. Rankin to come out afterwards & say "we need to dust ourselves down & go again" when interviewed by the tame staff member Accies use for pre & post match stuff.

Radio silence now

Even Falkirk can't mess it up from here. The Accies players have chucked it, they know we can't win the league & that the playoffs are guaranteed. We're actually lucky our start to the season has us so far clear in 2nd as the opposition managers (Bartley excepted) have Rankin's 'tactics' sussed now so we will only drop more points. I've fortunately got another appointment on Saturday & so won't be wasting my time & about £40 on travelling to watch what feels like definitely being a title-clinching win for Falkirk.

Wee £5 on the Betfair boost of Palmer SoT & 2 fouls each for Gallagher + Lerma at 5/1 returned £30

In short. Yes to both. I had to drag myself down to the game today & clearly that was a mistake! We are clear enough to be guaranteed the playoffs & with the league being realistically over weeks ago along with out recent abject home form it's no wonder a lot of the home support have clearly decided there's better things to do at 3pm on a freezing winter Saturday until the games actually mean something again.

A £5 FTW bet on Morton at 12/5 returned £17

If all those games were Saturday then I'd have a quid on that. If Morton win on Friday night then a Thistle double for Sat may be in order.

Motherwell playing tonight in the Premiership against Ross County. They are then back in action on Friday night in the Scottish Cup away to Morton who are in great form in the Championship. I've had a small dabble on Morton at a best price 12/5

2-0 Accies, O'Hara

1-0 Accies, Smith

1-0 Accies, O'Hara

I'll take that for a start this weekend. Had another bet on Porro foul & to be fouled which didn't come in but just under £50 back so ended up comfortably in profit.

2-0 Accies, Barjonas

1-0 Accies, O'Hara

And indeed been confirmed as rescheduled for Saturday 20th January with kickoff at Forthbank that day back to a normal 3pm

He was probably too busy watching The Pirates of the Caribbean marathon.

Not breaking news

Needless to say Mr Draper also made my team as my VC Points on the board early - before @Miguel Sanchezhas got round to posting the teams etc

Congratulations to @Aim Here on your maiden DP win. Best ever finish for me, ending up on the podium in 3rd after having been on top of the table fairly late on - a 1/3 of my squad going definitely helped!

Mahon gets another back, 5-2 now

Comeback on as Edinburgh City's no.9 scores to get 1 back.

5-0 Accies, O'Hara
