This should never have been aired in public. Deal with it at a committee meeting. Club are still trying to gain trust of locals due to corruption many years ago, this does not help one bit. If it's not being heard in meeting call it out at an AGM or try and get EGM. I would take a guess that this isn't football related and is more to do with running of The Fitba Bar as the three men who have stepped down were the sub committee who run the bar. The work the three gents do or did at the park is phenomenal, they were assets but I can't agree with how this has been approached. Hopefully a statement today to put things to bed. At present, no manger, no team and only three quarters of a committee.

Hilton and Paton yet to sign. Don't think there's much love between Hilton and Faz. Led to believe Paton has a few full time offers. Wouldn't be surprised to see him follow the manger if nothing else comes up for him though. Would be a good addition.

Hopefully take the whole back room staff. A complete overhaul would be nice, timing is awful though.

His performance are probably reflective of his budgets. By far the lowest budget in league 1, by far the worst team in league 1. Built a decent team last season, things may have been better had we not had the break. Always speaks well and seems well respected in the game. Club have stayed loyal to him. He was given a two year deal before even securing a play off spot. The season before we only won two games and he kept his job so our committee must see something in him. Be neither up nor down should Faz move on, only frustration would be the timing .

We’ve not seen much of his connections with junior football. He seems to be well though of by many managers and players though. Ryan Stevenson said he’s the best he’s worked under. Still chose to sign for Troon instead of us though.

Steven Farrell.

Do Darvel players turn up to games with wash bags under their arm and silly looking headphones? How many of the players have pony tails?

Duffy, Elliott, Hilton, Paton and Stirling are the only players yet to officially make a decision. All have something to offer at our level. Hilton would piss over that league, he’s bit part in our league as not suitable for games when dirty work is required. Duffy will score goals at any level. Paton and Stirling both good talents and will no doubt have offers from better outfits than Darvel. Elliott is ok. Wouldn’t be my first pick but offers a good physical presence and can run all day. Victoria has turned down a new contract, being Portuguese, Mr Kennedy may be able to attract him with his peri peri chicken. Or just a ridiculous wage.

Only big egos go to Darvel, not big players.

Dependable member of the squad. Stumbled up on the left back position and made it his own. Not sure Burns would’ve gotten back in had it not been for injuries. One I’d of liked to have kept. With Devitt away we really need another centre back.

According to my source in Motherwell. Good reason to believe her. He has been offered a new deal with us but I’d imagine Stirling will be a more attractive proposition wage wise and travel wise. Scouse has grown on me as a player. Previously I would have said you’re welcome to him but, he’s became a dependable member of our squad. Spent most of us time a centre back but stepped in to cover left back in our win against Hamilton and made the place his own until injury put an end to his season. Offers a threat at set prices too which is an added bonus.

Add Adam Cummins to that defence.

Connor McManus to East Fife now confirmed. Not sure we’ve ever found the right partner for McManus. I know others disagree but always thought he was a bit of a luxury. Tidy on the ball but, doesn’t do enough off it. Don’t think he didn’t track men well, doesn’t have many goals to his name or assists. If we are to keep Miller I’d like to see a bit more of an attacking midfielder in beside him.

We’ve been spoilt with goalkeepers for a good few years. For me Fleming maybe needs to lose a stone or two. Often looks stiff and unfit. He’s a different style to the likes of Currie, Mitchell or Belford who all did well for us. They were all about agility and shot stopping. Lobbed against Kelty and Queens Park. Partly to blame for the Edinburgh City goal in our last league home game. Struggles to kick with his right foot. His efforts against Albion Rovers in the penalty shoot out were abysmal. Ironically went on to save a penalty against the same team in the league. Flip side we kept many clean sheets this season so he can’t be all that bad.

Think Victoria will be away. He’s not been one for sticking about during his career. Don’t think we’ll see Paton, Hilton or Elliott back either. Each of them at the stage were they’ll want to be playing every week. Leaves us short attacking wise. Muir had good stats at Annan but, didn’t carry that on to Stenny although a few of their fans have spoken highly of him. Would like a new goalkeeper, two new full backs, a centre midfielder and couple of forwards.

Would think so. Works with Swift and played for him at BSC. Big fan of Orr, will be disappointed to see him go.

Looking forward to seeing how he performs in the Lowland League next season.

If our best chances could have fallen to any of our two players I'd have picked Orr and Duffy. Even more frustrating watching it back and seeing how close Orrs chance was. Majority of the time Duffy buries that one in the first half too. As a great Stranraer fan often says, onwards and updwards.

Two teams scared to lose. That’s never going to make for a great spectacle. Happy enough with how organised we looked defensively. unfortunately Dumbarton restricted us going forward. Orr and Duffy didn’t get much of a chance and were outdone physically. Stranraer probably had the best two chances of the game. One in either half. Not too disappointed as we’re still in the tie.

Would not be surprised to see Orr sign with yourselves next season. Good relationship with Swift and Moore. Really hope not.

Decent performance last night, couple of scares but we got there. thought Duffy and Orr were excellent first half. McManus played one of his best games for us as did Elliott. Sonkur dealt with Henderson very well, was an enjoyable battle to watch. If we play like we can we’ve got to fancy our chances in the playoffs. I suppose the rest of the teams will feel the same. The playoffs have never been kind to us. Time for that to change.

Exciting stuff, can't wait for it. Not much between ourselves and Edinburgh in the previous meetings this season. We're fortunate that we know what we need to do. Go and win and we're fine. Don't need to worry about the other permutations. Your right with Sportsound. Only acknowledgment was to notify listeners that details of League 1 and 2 could be found online. Poor given all that's still to play for in both league.

Looks a bit of hard luck. Had awful connection with the stream yesterday, only saw about ten minutes in total. Only Queens Park and Elgin has scored twice in the league at the Forthbank this season so, we’re not all that bad. Just go and win on Tuesday and then we don’t have to worry about the various permutations. C’mon boys.

Take a lot of that back having seen the highlights. Missed most of the chances we had.

Didn’t see much of the game due to poor stream. From what I did see Stirling seemed to have the better of the chances. Didn’t look like we were allowed to play much football. At our best when we get it down and play. If teams press us we panic and result to long aimless punts. That’s worth nothing with Elliott and Orr up top, or any of our forwards for that matter. We live to fight another day and know what we have to do. Given how depleted our squad was yesterday a point is maybe not a bad result.
