Now just annoyed that Falkirk lost all but one of their post-split games.

A great way to end the season. Credit to JBA, the backroom staff and last, but not least, the players. 

It really was a fitting way to conclude our campaign; with good and bad facets.

* recording a win in apotentially togh game

* playing excellent football, the best many of us can remember

* big noisy  support

* player red carded

* goal chalked off by VAR

* poor referee

* deserving to win by a few goals but settling for one

* a clean sheet

Our season in a microcosm.

Ironically, Matty Connelly wasn't really tested. Good to see Faddy Mk2 score the winner. The main thing though is that we finished 4th, the spot we've held for some time and qualified for Europe automatically.

Also delighted to have proved all the old dinosaurs wrong who said this style of football wouldn't work in the Premiership for a wee team like ours.

Yes, an especial bugbear of mine, this myth that Scottish players somehow uniquely in Europe  can't play football based on excellent ball control, quick  movement and passing when this was precisely how the Ancell Babes did it over 60 years ago and were revered for it..

Maybe the Scotland manager himself might learn a few lessons from JBA, but frankly  I doubt it.

Thanks for a wonderful season that restored my faith in the beauties of football, MFC.
