There's always a bus going, Mark. Just got taken a bit by surprise with the lack of advance warning. Look out for the times on the new booking thread shortly.  |

The quickness of the re-arrangement will take lots of folk by surprise. I didn't realise until late last niht. I really don't know how well get on in this one. We're very hot and cold these days.

Yeah, a wee bit more notice might have been nice. In saying that, our travelling support is so poor it won't make much, if any difference.
Wonder if we'll see any of the new boys start tonight to freshen things up? We've got a free weekend coming up though so McGlynn might want to use the extra training time then before sticking them in the team the following week.
Had a quick look and it seems Dumbarton is forecast for some heavy rain this afternoon - wonder if that'll affect the chances of this being on?

All the uncertainty in the boardroom and courts and all the money getting spent on players we probably can't afford who are of questionable quality is giving me a very big sense of deja-vu.

I'm going to be brave and say that we'll win this contest. Someone's got to try to remain positive after all!  |

Starting to tip it down here in Livi so hopefully it isn't doing the same in Dumbarton. In saying that though, Dumbarton play Alloa on Saturday in the Scottish Cup and will probably be quite happy to see this one cancelled again to allow them to prepare for that.
I'd like to see Barrowman and Burchill given the chance to play upfront together. Burchill certainly looks to have plenty of pace about him and I reckon he'd be a decent shout to play off Barrowman for flick ons and what not.
Wasn't particularly impressed with Martin Scott on Saturday so wouldn't mind seeing either Denholm or Kyle Jacobs start tonight ahead of him.

I hope we pump this mob! See you behind the goals.

Appalling result given the circumstances. To go ahead against a part time side that has been reduced to 10 men not once but twice & still fail to win is frankly a shambles. We all know a 10 man side is not always easy to play against but when you get yourself ahead & then are pegged back only to go in front again, the 1st equaliser should have served as a warning & you should shut up shop. If we don't turn things around again soon then we will be heading for the relegation play-offs & I don't fancy our chances against most of the contenders for coming up.

The part time argument is surely one of the worst about? What's to say a player playing part-time can't be better than a player playing full-time? In all honesty, guys at this level can probably make more money playing part-time as they'll have a better second income coming in too so players of higher calibre than those playing full-time might be choosing to play part-time to be better off financially.
We had enough chances to win the game and failed to take them. That's not appalling. On another day, one of the numerous chances we missed would have went in and we'd have won the game. Certainly two points dropped but the result wasn't appalling against a side undefeated this year.
Thought Habai looked useful. Surprised to see him upfront but looked comfortable on the ball and looked to make things happen. McNulty and Barrowman linked up well when McNulty came on.
Looked to be a 3-5-2 last night with Mampuya and Talbot playing as wing backs. Back 3 of Mensing, Mevlja and Dycey with O'Brien, Keaghan and Jimmy in the middle of the park. Jimmy tried to get forward to support Habai and Barrowman but it meant Keaghan was wasted a bit as he can offer more than playing as a sitting midfielder.
Big Barrowman's miss in the first half looks like one of those you'll see on a Z list celebrity football bloopers DVD. Dycey heads the ball across goal where Barrowman appeared to have an empty net from a maximum of 3 yards out but he somehow knocks it wide.
A point away from home which keeps us unbeaten on the road in the league since early November. Still plenty to play for. Big game vs Alloa up next. Hoping they'll head in to free fall with losing Hartley.

What a nonsense. We couldn't beat 10 part time players. That's the facts that speak for themselves. |

Being part-time doesn't make them worse football players than those playing full-time. Simple as that.

The simple fact of it is that we couldn't beat 10 of them with 11 of us.

A bad result, simple as that, against 10 men
Shocking defending for both goals and it could have been worse if Dumbarton had been a bit more lethal up front. Barrowman should get his ass kicked hard for that shocking miss last night, it was Chris Iwelumo mark II. Overall lots of chances but something still not right about how we are playing.
Got to start picking up 3 points on a regular basis from now until the end of the season or it'll be the play-offs at the wrong end of the table where we'll be heading.

It doesn't matter if they are part time and we are full time the thing that matters is that we couldn't beat them no matter how many players they had on the pitch. And I've seen Jason Talbot get sent off for bad tackles like the one he did on the guy who got sent off for pushing him back. When will he learn? The thing that we've noticed the most that Martin Scott has looked really uninterested for weeks now. We're nt good enough to carry players and thats what it's been like sometimes. Not just him but others too. Glad we have a free weekend because I can't get in the mood for it just now.

Livi had enough chances to easily put this game to bed.
Barrowman should try wearing his boots next time as his slippers clearly aren't cutting it.

We're needing McNulty to find his shooting boots again because big Barrowman is a bit hit and miss. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a good player but it's more Likely that our goals will come from McNulty.

A point away from home which keeps us unbeaten on the road in the league since early November. Still plenty to play for. Big game vs Alloa up next. Hoping they'll head in to free fall with losing Hartley. Sorry but I have to disagree, a full time team should be fitter than a part time team & should have an advantage over a part time team; otherwise why bother being full time? Livi might as well go part time now & save a whack of cash if there is no noticeable difference. As a full time team we should finish the game stronger than a part time team; granted its not always easy to beat 10 men with 11 because the 10 man side usually ups their game (rarely works when we go down to 10 men but that's another story) but when you have let them back into the game once, then regain the lead you should be able to see out the closing minutes & you should be in control of the possession of the ball, not under pressure. Doesn't matter how many chances you create, it only matters how many you score; from the highlights Dumbarton had their chances too. Bear in mind that if anyone of those "chances" were converted then the whole game is different because it would restart from a different position, so what actually happened after any missed chances would not have happened if it had been a goal. Dumbarton were the form side certainly & I would have been happy with a point before kick off; but given what transpired it is very disappointing; in fact it is appalling that they failed to hang on for the win. |
