As for Ruth, you’re reading too much into the post match comments, he’s not going to come out and say he’s away. There’s a really good chance he will be playing league 1 football next year, I just hope it’s with us.
True, I thought I was reading too much into it, I just needed brought back down to earth!

I watched some of the BBC coverage of the Spartans second leg again the other night and, when asked at the end about the prospect of League 1 football next season, Michael Ruth says ‘we’ll be looking forward to it’… Is that a sign he’s staying or am I reading far too much into it?!
Also, surely Gray can’t leave after getting a club badge tattoo. Surely…

Any word on how many we took? It was really impressive.
I’m no good at judging the size of crowds, but I’d say they was around 17 million of them out there.
I’d say it was nearer 18 million. Let’s just round it up to 20 mil.

What a night. Brilliant. It had Forthbank 1995 vibes for me from the moment we arrived. Great travelling support, sunny day, and Michael Ruth is maybe not quite Charlie Gibson stature yet but he’s heading in the right direction.
I thought the whole team were terrific. Durnan was colossal, Lynas put his heart and soul into everything, Gray was classy, but Ruth definitely the stand out.
I quite liked the ground actually - I enjoyed the atmosphere. I thought the whole thing was a great advert for lower league football in general. It certainly seems to have hooked my eight year old.
Not sure I’ll sleep tonight but luckily BBC Alba is on iplayer!
Well done to everyone.

I’m a bit behind the times as usual but just finished the latest podcast. I really enjoyed it. Thanks Jan and team for such a professional and insightful production. I thought Stevie Aitken came across very well. I always wondered why Andy Dowie looked so serious after the goal against TNS!

Would anyone agree Carswell was better for us before he became captain or am I talking rubbish? Maybe relieving him of his captaincy duties will give him a new lease of life??

Great stuff. I might be getting overly nostalgic after the first decent result in a while but that reminds me of a Davie Stewart screamer in the early days at the Rock. I think that might have been against EF too...

Great stuff! Dug ourselves out of a hole there.

Really impressed with the coverage and commentary. I actually wondered if the club could charge a premium for seats near Jan and Chris when we're allowed back in. I'd pay extra for the running commentary!

I'm a bit late to the party - but today was my first experience of streaming and I was impressed. Agree with the comments about the commentary. It was excellent - very well informed and impartial. Really enjoyed that, despite the result. Well done guys.

Would like to see the top with the sponsor on it too before deciding if I want one.
Do we have a sponsor lined up for next season? I don't know when the Turnberry Homes deal was meant to run out.

Paul Shields was his name I think.
Could name just about everyone in that pic from 30 years ago. Yet don't ask me to study for a work exam!!!
What a team! Yep, Paul Shields. I think, and this could be my memory playing tricks on me, that he used to dj in the Clyde Bar in Helensburgh too.

All this talk of 1988-89 is making me nostalgic - I went to my first game towards the end of that season.
On the plus side, if history is repeating itself, Charlie Gibson will be signing in the not too distant future...

Impressive piece of business, especially if he was being offered more cash elsewhere.
