Who he? *checks wiki* Interesting one.

Real pity about Jamie, but it didn't look good the way he pulled up on Saturday. Main thing for the club to do is bring in a decent replacement quickly, and hopefully they've done that in young Wright.

Nearly, but not quite. And if we are talking fine margins then the distinction must be made. Especially for us pedants. [emoji6]

Ahead of the ball, not his team mate.

There's no way you can say whether O'Hara is nearer the goal line than the ball from that photo. Even if that is the moment Stirling plays the pass.

That's my view too. It certainly isn't clearly offside. Overall a good, fair summing up, much as Father Barry's...... is from an Alloa point of view. O'Hara is sharp as a tack just now. Good to see Thomson getting his first league goal. I feel he's got a lot more to give than he has shown so far and the goal, together with playing an important part in back to back wins should help his confidence. Funny game football. We've gone from the team picking itself, due to injuries to first team players, to having options on the bench - able to leave Trouten and Connelly unused yesterday despite making two outfield substitutions.

I think I understand what your point is, yes, but I'm not sure it's a particularly important one. I think you're saying Alloa are most dangerous (against Queens in particular) from wide, via crosses into the box and not so much cutting through the middle of your defence and that's the way we play. Is that right? Either way I don't think we concentrate on crosses as an attacking weapon any more than is normal. In the 3-3 last season we did score two cracking goals from headers off good crosses. That memory might be influencing your view.

Crosses aren't "open play"?

No, you can't. [emoji16] When I saw we'd been pulled back to 2-2, with Macdonald off and the same small group of players being asked to dig in again I feared we'd struggle to hang on. I perhaps should have known better. Tremendous three point. Long may O'Hara stay on fire.

Eh? [emoji54]

Good that we've brought Ben in. I wonder if Grant's going to stick him straight in tomorrow.

Alloa have signed Ben Stirling on loan. Thoughts?

Gauff knocks out Osaka in straight sets. Osaka fell apart at the end. Gauff showing a maturity beyond her years.

It's going to be a good day!

Administration incoming.[emoji6]

Indeed. Small margins and all that.

Excellent three points and well deserved. Kevin O'Hara was the difference last night. You could see the confidence surging through him after his first goal and he was unplayable for a lot of the first half, scoring a cracking second and nearly a brilliant third. As Waspie again points out, a lot is being asked of the small group of players and tiredness may have been part of the reason Arbroath had us pinned back in the last twenty minutes. Arbroath certainly have more options on the face of it. Special mentions to Wee Kev for a real shift covering back to help Robbo deal with the threat of Bobby Linn effectively and Blair Malcolm coming in and doing a job. Arbroath are a good team with a lot of solid performers, but they were always going to be sucked into the relegation battle. If they manage to get 8th or higher that would be a tremendous achievement.

Yes, millions of them.

Brutal thread. As expected.

Don't see any point in rushing anyone back for the cup game, especially with the league game on Tuesday. Having said that Andy and Trouts will be desperate to play.

Yeah, I thought the Morton game was Robbo's 150th so he's on 152 now.

No chance of that m8. We've got an all weather pitch!

Two off the top of my head. Liam Buchanan. Had been struggling with injuries and fallen down the leagues when we took him up a division to the Championship. Was sensational all round and banged in lot of goals. Tremendous attitude. Steven Simmons. Got a bad press from fans of previous clubs. First six months he was OK, filled in for a few positions. When Darren Young got injured Hartley moved Simmy to holding midfield and he was a revelation. Was even more influential the following two years in the Championship, strolling through games and giving us a hard edge that we've never quite replaced.

SPFL must have forgotten to check with weetoonlad.

FFS, I really hope we beat these c*nts a week on Tuesday.
