Well it has just about come to the stage of win or bust for our little club at Annan.

Five points dropped in our last two fixtures have seen us slip out of the final play-off place as we approach our most vital game since our entry into the SFL. Although a draw would still leave us in with a chance going into the final game, we would prefer to have our destiny in our own hands.

It's for this reason we head to Stenhousemuir looking for three points and nothing less.

Our three previous matches have ended all square and we know it will be difficult on Saturday but I suppose it's a good thing knowing what we have to do.

As I was training last night I wasn't lucky enough to see much of the , but by all accounts it was a cracker.

That's the second 4-4 draw involving Liverpool in a week and I can only imagine the quotes Andy Gray must have been coming away with as the game unfolded.

But I certainly didn't think we would see more goals than

I promise not to let it fill the column but I couldn't write this week without touching on 'Boozegate' or 'on the lash on Loch Lomond' - whatever you want to call it.

The story had only just broken when I was writing last week and my only comment at that time was that I hoped it was an April fool, but I couldn't have been more wrong.

I think I was living in hope rather than expectation when I suggested that Scotland would snatch a draw in Amsterdam at the weekend.

I can't comment too much on the performance but, of the thirty minutes I did see in a tiny pub in Auchterarder, there wasn't much to suggest we were even close to getting any kind of positive result.

Saying that, I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't quite fathom why was disallowed. Had that been given it just might have made the game a little bit interesting.
