Brummo

Looking forward to this one. Should be a cracker as the Mo attempt to wrestle a win over Cove which has so far eluded them in the league. C.O.Y.M.

Maybe I just got the wrong end of the stick from the reliable source who told me about the incident. I had assumed it was a foul by Cawley but having watched it at 0.25 speed, I see that Cawley isn't happy about something and must have said as much to the referee. The fact is your player got sent off due to his own indiscipline. That was the main point I was making. Unfortunately I couldn't attend today because I had other commitments, which had to take priority. You don't actually need to be there to comment on matches. Just like being there and watching does not necessarily make your comments any more accurate because of your own tendency towards confirmation bias.

Heard he had passed out (fainted) and thankfully the paramedics thought he was well enough for him not to need any further attention from them. So hopefully he is okay now. E.t.a. re. Alloa's media: they actually somehow crafted a highlights package following their 5-0 defeat to Falkirk, that made the Wasps look really proper silky, which I think must have required some kind of David Blaine inspired trickery that messes with your mind.

I wasn't there. The point is that I have heard it was a needless sending off, in that the foul on its own was probably insufficient to merit a red card.

Great the "absolute masterplan" from Petrie worked yet again to deny the "better team" a point. The sending off was because the player concerned who received a booking for a foul, immediately afterwards used expletive language towards the referee. That was what earned him a sending off.

Couldn't make it along so nervously following BBC and club Twitter (X if you musk) updates. So pleased that we ultimately made good on the man advantage and got all three points in what was a "six pointer" in terms of playoff progress. Let's keep the MOmentum up for our visit to the Balmoral Stadium next Saturday. C.O.Y.Mo!

Woo-hoo!

Thanks. Good listen!

Would be great if the Arabs would give Declan Glass to us on loan by way of a birthday present!

If you are a Montrose fan, I would skip the podcast until around the 40 minute mark. No disrespect to the rest of the material intended. F.w.i.w. I thought the Montrose preview was a reasonably fair and accurate assessment.

Looking forward to this. Montrose face a side we have a poor record against, while they are in great form. We will need to be at our best and for SP to come up with an absolute master plan for us to stand any chance of taking the wind out of Alloa's sails. If we do take something from this and Cove next week, it will really help our playoff aspirations. We need to be 100% on it from the get go, as Alloa will take full advantage if we aren't. Hopefully having a large and loud home support to cheer on the Mo will be a help.

Gritty performance yesterday. With Alloa on five wins on the trot, they will definitely be a challenge. I watched highlights of the match when they were drubbed 5-0 by Falkirk and despite the scoreline, Alloa looked good, pinging the ball around. It should be a cracker.

Disappointing to lose that third goal. We didn’t play too badly but the Falkirk defence mopped up any Montrose threat pretty routinely. They are a decent side but giving them a goal so early on really didn’t help. A few claims for handball against Falkirk ignored by the referee. If he had given them, it certainly would have made the game more interesting but it was not to be. It wasn’t a lackluster performance from the Mo, just not enough in the tank against an in form Falkirk side. Let’s hope the Mo dust themselves down and are good to go down at Palmerston. At least they get an extra two hours and a half hours to recover!

Disappointed that Montrose didn’t make more of a game of it. Giving Falkirk a goal so early in the match didn’t help. Huffed and puffed but never really threatened. Credit to Falkirk. Their defence wasn’t really tested but dealt with the limited threat that Montrose posed. Our energy levels definitely off the pace, which made this a pretty routine win for Falkirk. Annoying to lose that third goal but I have few if any complaints on the night. Hopefully we can give a better account of ourselves back at Links Park next time round.

Yes we have quite the challenging run of fixtures having had to face Kelty on Saturday before Falkirk tomorrow, then QoS on Saturday, followed by Alloa the following Saturday and Cove the Saturday after that. Midweek games in addition to Saturdays definitely favour the full time teams.

It's all about Montrose!

You are entitled to your opinion. I think the facts speak for themselves.

6:23 onwards if you want to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Is being regarded as a free hit by Stewart Petrie. Will be fielding a team with an eye on what on paper at least is a more winnable game on Saturday.

Here's hoping the Mo prove this little Falkirker's prediction wrong and that his team also make the same mistake of assuming we'll roll over for them.

Close. Squeaky bum time watching BBC website updates before Hester made sure of all three points. Will try to make the Falkirk game. Should be interesting.

Yes, Mochrie was playing too. Another talented player we had on loan. I look back fondly on the days when Montrose made money by bringing on players and selling them to bigger clubs, like we did with Gary Murray to Hibs but the Bosman ruling killed that. I think we have received some money from Martin Boyle's success since leaving us. Loan players at Montrose have been a very mixed bag. They're a feature of the game at every level, so we ought to try to reap some benefit from them. It is a sickener when you do get a good one but they only feature for a few months before being called back, as has happened with Miller Thomson. I also think that they're taking up space in the team to the exclusion of the club's own up and coming players. We want to field a competitive team on match days and this will likely involve some loan players but I reckon Stewart Petrie is right not to overly rely on them. It would be great if some of them would sign for us at some point following a loan spell but if they're good and ambitious enough they aren't likely to want to sign for a part-time team. I would love to be proved wrong about this though.

See Thomson came on as a sub in dying minutes of Raith game.

We need three points to keep our playoff aspirations alive. Hoping Cove and Alloa can damage each other and we can move on up. Kelty will be up for this too but Montrose have been going well and looking for that form to continue.

If my memory serves me right, according to Radio Scotland, for loan players, it's the end of this month but I'm not enough of an anorak to know for sure.
