Everything posted by Father Barrys Sign (Top Half)

  1. Old Brewery and Station Bar within 5-10 mins walk of ground, both should have the early kick off football on.
  2. The away win at league leaders Hamilton that December was a great day out- Daryl Meggatt getting the winner. It tailed off in January but an absolutely brilliant first half of that season where you felt we could give anyone a game. Hard to believe a decade has passed.
  3. He's registered as a player for this season so likely remain that way in case of emergencies. Doubt he'll play other than to cover injuries/suspensions though.
  4. If i look at East Fife highlights at Dunbar looks like the travelling support just congregated in a corner. I was tempted by Hospitality at 32 quid too.
  5. The main hospitality guests pick it, so it's always a mixed bag rather than an assessment with any real accuracy.
  6. Darren Young was offered the job in the past when he was Albion Rovers manager but Rovers wanted a mental compensation fee at the time. He's done a really good job at Stirling but similarly I'd be pretty surprised if he ups sticks and leaves his current gig for Alloa now.
  7. Buchanans Mum came over to me during the game and asked who is Kev who does the podcast. Pointed you out and hoped I hadn't got you in trouble
  8. Dunbar in November will no doubt be a bit chilly, but nice to get something different with the draw. Will be a ground very few have been to in the past so another to tick off the list. Despite our bad run of form we *should* really have more than enough to get through.
  9. Martyns talking about the team at the turn of the millennium under Hendrie/Christie. Mike started his involvement in the club a few years later, eventually becoming chairman 2007.
  10. The initial offence on Lyons may have occurred outside the box but I thought it looked a clear penalty at the time from the stand. Its pretty astonishing that the linesman missed the Gardyne handball. Definitely deserved a draw at least from the game but Montrose probably due a win over us after so long. Second half performance was pretty good, but still a bleak end to the first quarter.
  11. Taylor Steven coming on to a game a wee bit and starting to settle in. He was decent at both Hamilton and Annan in past 2 weeks.
  12. Reports Ive heard are that 5 Alloa fans made the trip to Cappielow, so in reality how serious was anyone taking it? Im glad the fixture was treated with the contempt it deserved. No surprise that our pal pops up on here less than an hour after full time to pile on. Knows quite a bit about the team for someone who has refused to attend games for approximately a year. Absolute red neck of a result, but give me 6 points from the next 2 games and I couldnt care a jot about it.
  13. Despite the ending I enjoyed the game. It really could have went either way and I thought Alloa looked likely to win in the closing stages. If Donnelly is fit we'll be fine I think, he was excellent when he came on. ODonnell really good and I thought Kurtis Roberts was decent before being subbed. Second half in particular was a really good performance. Really good fun at half time when all the younger fans bonded over a game of head tennis across the barrier. A much better experience than our last trip to Hamilton overall, although a bit cruel on the team that we left empty handed.
  14. Trying to get your head round Alloa68s views isn't really worth wasting your time mate. A miserable troll who only posts when Alloa lose a match as it seems to verify his existence. By his own admission doesn't go to the games rendering most of his negative views fairly null and void.
  15. A clean sheet and a win. After the last few weeks couldn't have asked for any more. I wrote in the programme I'd even have taken a 0 0 to stop the rot and give us something to build on. We played well in the first half and certainly deserved to be ahead at the interval. Second half was a tough watch sitting so deep. Obviously given recent games ot caused a bit of concern but we rarely looked in danger. Cove thankfully were pretty disappointing with Megginson in particular looking like he's lost a bit of his magic. Watching the post match interview with the manager I have to say I was pleased for him. His setups are certainly questionable and at times I am mystified by some of his decisions, but there's no doubt he knows his game and he wears his heart on his sleeve. I'm desperate for him to turn this around and get the best out of this squad.
  16. Likely no-one would bat an eyelid in Hawkhill if a crazy man was cutting about with a sword. Just another day in the estate
  17. Youd like to assume putting Luke out on loan means another striker is coming in very soon.
  18. Taggs and Andy Graham at the back I think, with Buchanan right back and Devenny left back. Put Ogayi in goals too and this game could be ridiculously entertaining. Im perversely looking forward to it. Some people may be criticising the manager for his post match tirade last week but it was a "money interview" for me- its made this game a must watch. I'm revelling in the chaos.
  19. Despite suffering through that hiding at the weekend, the graphic and caption posted on social media earlier today advertising the Cove game raised a smile. The best counter for adversity is humour. Top work.
  20. Also thought MacIver was relatively quiet overall, certainly more so than others who completely ran amok against us. The goal he scored was an absolute travesty defence wise, but he took it well. I think based on Saturdays one sided game Falkirk fans probably have plenty material to lord it- a "we told you so" about Ross MacIver I certainly wouldnt have expected to be high on their list- particularly as a lot of them thought the signing was a joke at the time and vast majority of Alloa supporters actually rated him. Very bizarre.
  21. Seem to remember plenty more "mugs" from Falkirk raging about the signing at the time. Majority opinion was that Ross had a lot of qualities, but didnt get enough goals for us. Despite scoring against us at the weekend, vast majority probably happy to see Ross do well at full time level.
  22. I actually dont have that much of a problem with his interview if I'm honest. Although I think he has to accept a degree of responsibility, nothing he said was wrong. Falkirk were a class above us but the goals we lost were indeed embarrassing. No matter how the manager sets the defence up, the individuals are way better than they showed yesterday. Manager says it will be different next week, sounds good to me. Let's see what happens. I think Waspies assessment of Rice has been pretty much right on the money all through his tenure. But he hasn't signed bad players, they just need set up in a way that gets the best out of them. This is definitely fixable, and Rice deserves the chance to do so with the squad he's just assembled. Whether he will or not we will have to see. He's certainly not lacking passion or desire which the interview shows. I'm glad he was as annoyed as we all were at time up.
