Does it say who it is? You just know it’ll be Nouble, TOB or McKenna.

Any idea who it is? One player wouldn’t put the game in doubt though would it?

Jeezo what a touchy bunch. Here was me wishing you all the best in the playoffs last season too, wish Airdire had pumped you now

Yeah, we’re having an amazing season thanks. I’m going to be fucking furious when I wake up and find that this was all a dream. It’s not a case of just “scrolling by” though is it? The entire point of club specific threads is so fans of a particular team can “talk shop”, air their grievances/moan/celebrate etc without fans of other teams having to read it, unless they want to.

Quite an apt typo you’ve been here long enough to know that match threaDs are to discuss the game in question not to talk about the current off/on field clusterfeck that is Greenock Morton.

This is a match threat, stop stinking it up with club infighting crap, take that to your own forum.

That’s us passed 1000 season tickets. Pretty incredible.

On the contrary, I think Dowds has played himself into a starting spot.

Highlights?

On paper this looks like it should be a convincing win for us but, as had been proven over the last few weeks, we really seem to struggle to score/win against the bottom half teams even when creating bucketloads of chances. Would be delighted with any kind of win.

I'm not worried about safety, I think we're fine. However if we have serious aspirations for the playoffs... or better, then wins against the, dare I say, current "weaker" teams in the division are a must. The fact that we have beaten ICT, Partick and Killie (all away from home) in the last few weeks but can't beat Ayr, QoTS, Morton and Hamilton says to me that we're not approaching all games with the same mentality and intensity.

But worryingly (Pars aside) we can't seem to beat any of them at the moment. 4 draws out of the last 5 games v the bottom half teams. Hopefully next week will stop that trend.

This season just gets better and better. Frustrating that we've struggled more against the bottom half teams - 4 draws that we should have won would have had us clear at the top... if my auntie had balls. Slightly contoversial question but will Nicky Low get back into this team? Took a while to adjust to him being missing but we're flying at the moment.

First time I’ve been aroused by Chick Young

Eh, no. If partick win then Arbroath stay 5th.

There’s something quite compelling about crap Scottish fitba - two poor teams desperate to win on a poor surface creates a fair bit of excitement and pishness in equal measure. Fully expect the winner to be either a stramash, a bizarre own goal or a 40 yard net burster.

Am I weird? I’m really enjoying this.

0-0 draw please.

Well that’s Paul Sheerin punted by Falkirk. To be fair he’s been a disaster for them, topped off by a 6-0 scudding at QP yesterday when they should be romping that league. Bet he wishes he never left his job at Aberdeen. Nothing will ever tarnish his achievements with us. His first two seasons in particular were, apart from now obviously, the best time to be a Lichtie in my 40+ years as a fan. The football at times was sensational and fantastically exciting, and you just knew that every game was going to be wild with plenty of goals… at both ends. The question is, did he get lucky at us with a great bunch of players and a gung-ho “I’ve nae idea what I’m doing but it works” management style, or did he have real talent and potential that has been hammered and coached out of him while running the kids setup at Aberdeen? Feel really bad for him and I hope he can find a future back in the game, just don’t think it will be as a manager.

He does but it’s pretty standard for all managers. They all just haver guff or tired clichés to a greater or lesser extent. Dick is to the greater end of the scale right enough.

I hate hate hate criticising any of our players but Donnelly contributed zero yesterday. I remember he had a wee bit of nice play on the stand side touch line early on and then a flick-on header later but can’t remember seeing him do anything else. His best games for us this season have been the cup games v Kelty and Forfar which highlights exactly what he is - a good player at league 2, possibly league 1 level. Dowds should have been on from the start yesterday, his physicality is much more suited for a game like that whereas the game just passed Donnelly by.

Now that the dust has settled and the booze has worn off I have a slightly different view of the game. I haven’t watched the highlights apart from the McKenna incident and yes the ref had no option but to stop the game. A wee bit daft by McKenna. Didn’t realise that’s what happened at the time as I was focussed on the break and only saw the two players getting up and McKenna getting booked. A draw was definitely a fair result as there was nothing for either keeper to do really. For us, both Linn efforts were tame as was the header towards the end. I don’t blame Linn for not taking either of his chances, you can tell that he’s trying so hard and is desperate to score goals and influence the game that his composure in front of goal seems to have gone for now. Still of the opinion that the ref was dreadful (for both teams) and had a big influence in how the game panned out. All in all, have to be happy with a draw as I had a niggling worry that yesterday could have been a bubble buster. There is definitely nothing for us to worry about for the rest of the season and we “should” stay up comfortably, which is all that matters really.

Yeah, would have made more sense to make a like-for-like swap instead of upsetting the balance. We definitely lost something after little went off as JT/our right side was dominant up until then.

Is this a wind up?
