That’s why Dunfermline are champions, we go down to 10 men we crumble, they go to 9 and still not good enough to break them down so credit to them, and credit to the polis hope they 2 Dunfermline fans have a lovely overnight stay in the airdrie cells! Onto the playoffs

I know theres likely to be a few interested (and im sure hes contracted for next season) but the boy Bevan from Albion rovers seems like a bit of a player going by match reports and various other threads on the L2 forum, a young guy signed from Camelon, certainly making all the right noises.
Wouldn't mind the boy Reilly from rovers that was at us years ago, what a season he's had. I think there'll be a lot of full time clubs in for him mind you.

Sounds like that was done in the changing room last night. No it's very much not impossible although some folk on here would make you think we'd need to get past real Madrid and then man city in the playoffs. Airdrie being held up as some sort of superstars considering in the last two games we've beaten them comfortably and then really should've beaten them at home despite our recent dip in form. After tha it would be Hamilton, Arbroath or alloa it would seem if we get that far. We beat Ayr who are a far better side than either and alloa aren't exactly a team we should be fearing. We need to up our game but it's hardly an impossible task to see us still getting up.
You've only beaten us once this season.

Seriously, seriously hoping the players have subconsciously downed tools for the remaining league games and turn up when there's something to play for. I've been a big advocate of McGlynn's, but recent form has been nothing short of pathetic.
I can see it now, Burrell will again struggle for game time and McGlynn will say it's because he had his chance against Edinburgh. Play him in a f*cking 2. Played it against Dunfermline and we should've won, played it against Montrose - win. Revert to 1 up top and take 1 point out of 6. What does he see that we can't.
I dont think it's fair to say Airdrie will turn us over as I've seen a few suggest, we literally just drew with them a matter of days ago.
I don't think any Airdrie fan (sensible ones anyway) will come out and say we'll turn you over, but I'm certainly more confident of beating yous than i was 6 weeks ago.

The signing of Jordan Allan baffles me more and more each day.
Me too, benchwarmer at us last season, a good half season with a struggling Clyde and Falkirk give him a 2 and a half year deal. Really bizarre, will be surprised if he's still in a falkirk shirt next season regardless of what division there in.

I think most people like Todorov at East End. Not prolific as you say but has an eye for goal and seems to pop up with important ones. His main issue is pace, in that he has none at all.
Its between him and O Hara or maybe both to leave us, both could easily do very well elsewhere and in an ideal world they'd just be kept in our vast corral of strikers.
Wouldn't mind O'Hara at us next season to replace Smith (assuming he's off)

Do we know if anyone is actually contracted for next season, I've heard Ballantyne, Rae and now Gall at various points in this thread? You have to make the assumption that Rhys and Dycey will still be here, they've done more than enough to warrant another year.
Cammy Ballantyne 100% signed a 2 year deal in the summer, not too sure on others club quite poor on letting us know how long players sign up for.
Actually think Byrd is signed up for next season as well but don't quote me on it.

Wee Aggy certainly doesn't hang around if he fancies something else. Is that 3 management teams he's been a part of in one season?
Do think it could be a good appointment, he has all the attributes you'd look for in a young manager getting his first job in the lower leagues, it will just depend if he can get a team playing.
Yeah i would be interested to know why he left Raith so soon, all the best to him anyway hope he does well. All round good guy!

Hopefully this is true, that would be him going into his 7th season with us I'm sure.
Nah not as long as that, he only signed in 2019.

With only three games remaining, and most of the playoff positions etc seemingly decided, who would make your team of the season?
Gk - Mehmet - An absolutely insane amount of clean sheets, while the defence in front of him have done a grand job protecting him, when he has been called upon he's normally been safe and assured. He's also fantastic at time wasting.
RB - Comrie - One of the positions I've really struggled with, Ballantyne had a big reputation but hasn't had the best of seasons it seems and seems to have played left back recently? Smith-Rowe at Falkirk has looked good and I could understand his inclusion, in the end Comrie gets in account of being part of a defensive unit which has performed so well, while his attacking output could be better no opposition winger has had the better of him, very solid defensively.
CB - Benedictus - Will sweep the player of the year awards at Dunfermline, I never anticipated him being such a great signing but he's been fantastic, I don't think he's missed a single league minute.
CB - Donaldson - I'm quite a fan of his, a very good signing for Falkirk.
LB - Edwards - The best LB in the league, a fantastic attacking outlet while also being v solid defensively.
RM - Morrison - A really good season from him, 12 goals and 7 assists from a wide position is some going!
CM - Todd - What a season from the young man, 9 goals, many of them absolute stunners.
CM - Frizzel - Airdrie have been v good when we've played them and Frizzel is normally at the centre that, it was fortunate for the rest of the league that he missed a few games through injury.
LM - Ritchie-Hosler - I struggled allot with this pick, KRH is probably the best wide midfielder I've seen this season, however there might be a bit of recency bias with that, considered putting Gabby McGill here who I think had played a wide role?
ST - Gallagher - My two picks will seem horrendously predictable here, I've just went for the two top scorers! 20 goals is a fantastic haul. The best part time striker in Scotland?
ST - Paton - 19 goals for Paton and with him being out of contract you'd imagine he'll have a few interested parties. Honorable mention to Burrell who I think had the second best mpg, however McGlynn has preferred Oliver for good swathes of the season, thankfully.
You'll always have biased towards your own players, and I'm sure the RB and LM position will have a few different picks, however the other 9 are set IMO.
Yeah agree with most of this, Fontaine possibly for Donaldson and maybe a case for Gabby McGill on the wing instead of KRH mans been scoring for fun 2nd half of the season from the wing.

Probably 2 points dropped for us yesterday but once again falkirk fail to beat the wee guys at home for the 4th successive season, looking forward to the playoffs now!

Crazy to think since Falkirk came down in 2019 we're unbeaten at this stadium since then, hopefully keep that record up on Saturday both teams probably take a draw.

Not sure this post will weather well.
"Airdrie's ... goals have dried up a bit" ... really?
"Alloa are poor" ... really?
Almost as if a 3-0 win over Montrose and winning at Alloa by 1 goal isn't good enough eh

I totally agree with wanting the playoffs cemented before that last game but I feel the game will never be meaningless as we need to hand Edinburgh an absolute tanking after the games against them so far and the attitude they have shown to us.
Personally if we've already confirmed the playoffs by the time we play Edinburgh I'm really not interested what the score is that day.

If that Gallagher from Airdrie is available or the boy from Edinburgh Robertson then those won’t be bad shouts one he’s worked with and one that has potential
Gal is part time with Airdrie got a decent full time job in Glasgow area that he probably won't give up, can't really see him going elsewhere unless there offering part time wages higher than us.

Fair summary there I think. A solid central defence is an absolute must (be it L1 or Championship) and its certainly been a serious weakness yet again for Queens this season.
Agree, there's a good chance Dunfermline and Falkirk both take the step up this season and you would think their budgets would exceed the likes of Accies, Arbroath or Cove coming down (tbf ... I'm not too sure about the level of funding for Cove; assume they are "sugar daddy" funded somehow). So that should put Airdrie and Queens in with a decent shout at being competitive next season. Good summer recruitment is going to be key for both clubs I think. Big summer/season ahead for both McCabe and Bartley.
That is the hope for me personally, as funny as it would be to see Falkirk to fail to get promoted i'd much rather them out the league and 2 of Accies/cove/arbroath down, would be the best time for the board to give the playing squad a backing and really mount a league challenge.

Not been on for a while given the results!!!
Wee word for CGal. I’ve been massively frustrated by him at times in the past. IIRC he had decent chances v Cove and QP last season which he couldn’t take and he was constantly offside. Paired with a running style which is all arms and legs but little pace!!!
BUT I’ve really enjoyed watching him this season. Now able to hold it up really well, playing offside much better and some sublime finishes over the past 2 games which were wasted as consolations
I’d get him on penalties and sign him on a 2 year deal if he’ll have it. Seems a good lad too in interviews.
Yep 100% been consistent for years and stepped it up even more this season in a poorer side.
Can't believe there was a debate on here last season on whether we should keep him or not.
1 -
Ballantyne signed a 2 year deal so he won't be moving unless someone pays a fee for him which i doubt they will.
Cal Gal is the only part time player at the club really can't see him moving elsewhere.
Be surprised if Rae Telfer Smith and Frizz are all here next season (assuming we don't go up) could be a complete rebuild next season.

1 point from 9 in the last 3 games from the positions we’ve been in is a horrendous return and shows exactly why a player manager doesn’t work especially in these bigger games against more experienced sides. It baffles me that no experienced coach came him to help McCabe and sit on the sidelines, Sandy clark managing at east stirling last couple of months, surely we could’ve offered him to come in part time to help a bit of training and be on a touch line on a saturday?
I don’t want to try and Criticise McCabe too much but he said at the start of the season last seasons squad was too big and too many bench fillers that weren’t good enough to challenge the starting 11….. sounds familiar.
I’m still confident we’ll get playoffs I can’t see Edinburgh and Alloa both finishing above us, but there’s no chance we’ll beat the likes of Falkirk/Arbroath/accies/cove over 2 legs. Another season pretty much over for me and a big summer of decisions ahead.

Thought Falkirk deserved there win yesterday based on 2nd half performance, our defence is an absolute car crash and yet again has killed us in this game. Thought the ref actually had a good game which is weird for this league. Actually think Falkirk look better than Dunfermline at present time but have probably left it too late to start playing there best football of the season bit like us last year.
Also that Falkirk tv commentator gives the rangers tv one a run for his money in being the worst commentator in the country, what a hard listen he is
