Kinda torn on Meechan, he is super consistent but as the Annan game showed there is better out there. He is under contract though so would think Clyde would have to pay something for him.
See Airdrie have released Jordan Allan, worth putting an offer in again as that is the type of striker we could be doing with.

Bonnyrigg would need to have an average crowd 40% higher than ours to be bringing in the same amount at the gate.
I'm not in favour of our prices either, but if we're paying that much, we should have a better playing budget than others.
A few decent signings would encourage ticket sales & a winning team puts bums on seats.
No info to back this up but I would imagine Forfar’s budget won’t be that far from yours, my season ticket is £190.

Well done Edinburgh City, especially delighted for Michael Travis, deserves good times for some of the injuries he has had to deal with. Enjoy League One will be a hard one.

See Brindley has been released by Kilmarnock.

Very good news , glad to see both stay especially Darren, nice to see loyalty from players who we clearly stuck by too.

Safe to stay that recruitment may not be one of Irvines strong points. Unless you need too many midfielders.
The joke there is that Hutton was his January signing then he ends the season benched in favour of Jobber Harkins. Also paid the price today for our utter lack of striking options.

Got what we deserved, what a mess Irvine has made of things. His mate getting 90 minutes and the likes of Thomson not even getting on the pitch is a total wind up. What an infuraiting manager he is.
Yeah, Harkins in particular but others were obviously knackered with 10-15 minutes to play yet no subs despite the options on the bench to freshen things.
When dust settles I suspect it will be a good thing this lot are not in League One next season.

Good luck in the final Annan, we deserve nothing for persisting with Harkins an utter joke that we didn’t use any subs until we went behind.

Yeah, I don't think it was actually playing Harkins that was necessarily the issue, it was playing a 2 man midfield that was the problem as it left him exposed
Yeah playing Harkins seems to limit Slater as he has to do more defensive work which is daft.

Forfar deserve to stay down for accommodating Harkins.
Genuinely Irvine should be punted if they don't go up as he shoehorns his old pal in the team who should be nowhere near playing league football.
While I wholeheartedly agree with both statements, Harkins did play ( and be OK) in our recent 5-1 defeat of Annan so he may point to that as a reason to play him last night.
Not a great result last night but we are still in the tie, big improvement needed on Saturday. Did think that being home in midweek was a likely advantage given the distances.

At the end of the season the League table never lies and all 4 teams are there on merit ( strange way to describe Dumbarton's predicament mind you).
The 3 League 2 teams have all been faltering and inconsistent the last 6 weeks or so whereas Dumbarton have had some decent form.
If Annan are up for it tonight I think they can take a good lead up to Station Park on Saturday and go all the way.
Have a feeling Dumbarton will be too strong for all three of the League Two sides, as you say all three have been way too inconsistent. Would imagine all are just battling to be favourites for the drop next season too.
For tonight if we can get a draw would be pretty happy as think we can see off most teams at home.

1 point between us over 36 games suggests the teams are pretty closely matched. A head to head of 10 points versus 1 and 11-3 in goals suggests otherwise. Have to admit I wanted us at home in midweek and worry the midweek trip may work against us but if we come back with a decent result would fancy us at home.

I think Slater was 2nd for all the awards except for the one he won.
Sums up how thick some of our fans are.

Rambling post incoming!
What do you think are Forfar's objectives for next season?
If we stay in L2 then it's surely the title, as it should be an easier season as there won't be a moneybags club (Fraserburgh have some backing but nowhere near Cove/Kelty levels. They also have to overcome a suddenly in-form Cowden).
If we get promoted we're going into a stacked L1 as there will be Queen's Park, Kelty, Falkirk, Queen of the South and probably Dunfermline or Ayr (I reckon the Diamonds will go up).
Then we have Alloa and Montrose who won't be any slouch. What situation would you all prefer?
With the trapdoor in place would always be better as far away from it as possible. However, I would seriously fear for us in League One again without major upgrades in most positions.

I see Stef’s hat trick got him star man in SPFL team of the week. As good as that was it was Warnock’s first half display I really enjoyed, love seeing wide men taking on and committing defenders.

I honestly fancy Cowdenbeath to come out in top. They have been through it before, are playing quite well (without really scoring) can juggle their squad for next two weeks and will be able to watch their opponents in two play off matches beforehand.

Warnock and Stef completely unplayable. Fantastic performances. Warnock first name on the teamsheet now
Yeah, nice to some actual attacking intent from the start today, needs to be replicated for rest of season.

Warnock for poty IMO.

Spot on Iwh - you guys been in a bit of free fall recently.
From an Annan point o view hopefully we finish 2nd and get 2nd. Leg of playoff at Galabank
Irvine is , rightly, talking up wanting to finish second but I wonder if third might be better?
Think a weekend trip to Annan might be better for the players and certainly for the fans than a midweek one.
Either way will be a couple of tight games and with us still to play in the league could pretty tense affairs. We have had the better in the league matches so far but don't think there is much between the two sides.

Play-off place secured. Which realistically was the best we could have hoped for. Hopefully today’s result builds a bit of confidence for them.

By the time Travis was fit Munro and Anderson were established as the central pairing. Travis clearly wanted to play and wasn’t likely to get past them at the time. With Whyte to return Travis moved on. Don’t see a problem personally Travis may be better than Munro but clearly could not be relied on as much so he stuck with him as right footed centre half.
A couple of people have told me Thomas had an injury but if so don’t get why he’s on the bench.
As evidenced by last 20 minutes on Saturday, problem is not the personnel so much ( though clearly our striking options are not good enough and Harkins should have stayed retired) but our attitude/ negative formation / confidence IMO.

It was "Take the Piss" Saturday and they couldn't find a copy of Throw in the Towel. They also played Dire Straits and to cap it all, played Harkins and Hutton from the start.
Also came out to “Things can only get better”.
SPOILER. They didn’t.

What has he done which has made us better than under Malcolm?
both two useless managers that can’t change things when the aren’t going our way.
our squad is atrocious, Irvine claimed we had the best team in the league?
he should be checked into a mental asylum
Agree with a lot of that but he can change things, did so today and it got us back into the game. But he never learns , the first half’s are like Groundhog Day, same team , same negative set up at home and waiting until we are behind to even have a go.

Our passing and decision making tonight was genuinely worse than you’d see in a Scottish League Two game. Best team won, a disgraceful ‘performance’ by our team.
