I give up.
I've spent a lot of money watching Montrose over the past few years - as I've become fond of saying £140 is a lot of money to watch joiners playing football.
It's even more money to watch them not play football.
Saturday's match was an opportunity for The Worst Team In Scotland to close the gap on The Second Worst Team In Scotland.
Elgin are gash. As are all of the teams in Division Three, with the possible exception of Livingston, who are marginally less gash due to being the only full-time side in the division.
The Montrose team of two seasons ago would have demolished this Elgin side. But that seems like a lifetime ago, and this Montrose side lack confidence, ability, composure and everything else associated with a football team on the up.
It's beyond a joke now. The team and the club are a laughing stock.
I am seriously considering jacking it in. £10 a week to sit in a freezing cold concrete shed to watch whatever random assortment of Toms, Dicks and Harrys Steven Tweed is fielding this week isn't feeling like a sensible decision nowadays. The official attendance was 280 on Saturday, but that was a guess because nobody was bothering to count the poor souls trickeling through the gate. I'd have said it was below 250.
Most people have stopped caring. I include the players in that. The only one who seemed to give a toss got sent off in the first half for a second booking.
Missing Chris Hegarty, the side immediately went into freefall, conceding goals either side of half time. By the time Elgin added a brace in second half injury time, any hope of a comeback was long abandoned.
The Worst Team In Scotland? It's not even a competition any more

The Mighty Shire are doing well. Okay - so they were gash on Saturday but then Livingston are a bunch of cheating, arrogant..well, you get the picture.
One of the perils of following one of the league's lesser lights I'm afraid.
I know the feeling well.
Still, Dougie McDonald's team talk will have put you in a good mood today I trust?
