  1. A summary of the transfer window: Us keeping our best players = pleasing Us adding in Tait and Shanley = pleasing pleasing Hamilton signing a bunch of diddies = pleasing pleasing pleasing
  2. Morrison has been great to watch this season but I think this demonstrates nicely that we are anything but a one-man team. Especially as 4 of those 12 goals were penalties
  3. Looks like a lot of shite daily record related rumours to me. As others have said promotion is worth £500k to the club so there is no way we are letting him go for less than that/ anyone is going to offer us that much The only scenario I can see him signing for a fee in this window is if he is then loaned back to us until May (which would make sense for a young player but Morrison is 24 now)
  4. If I could pick any city in Europe to move to and be paid to play football there, Belfast would be pretty close to the bottom of my list. The club have made it clear he isnt for sale in this window, he would be well within his rights to get a PCA lined up though
  5. Morrison would absolutely destroy the Northern Irish league, hopefully he's got a bit more ambition than that
  6. The big exit gates were open for us as usual when leaving the terrace. Looked like the ones at the far end were open as well. Doubt there would have been any trouble anyway as our ultras lads are a well spoken and impeccably behaved lot I wouldn't be too disheartened re the match. That first 45 minutes was a better game than any side has given us in ages. Reckon Alloa will make the play offs, maybe even 3rd if Hartley's arse continues to collapse
  7. Never in doubt, back to our old selves on a pitch it was actually possible to play football on Absolutely amazing coincidence that the opposition continue to choose to have freak terrible performances against us. Tait coming on and looking quality coupled with Accies losing a late goal was just lovely. Hope the Hamilton chairman enjoys his evening x
  8. 3 turnstiles for tickets. 2 for cash. Alloa showing some of the other teams in the league how things should be done. Hopefully 1500+ Bairns there today and back to winning ways
  9. Doesnt really tell the full story though. For example in 15 appearances in the league, 14 of those were from the bench and only 198 minutes in total (average 11 mins a sub) Even his 1 goal in that time isn't a dissimilar ratio to MacIver or any other striker. I've no doubt he would have bagged a fair few goals if we played a system that suited him and gave him more than the odd 10 minutes here and there. The reality is unfortunately for Allan we haven't and also been flying at the same time. Apart from missing a chance away at Kelty and a shot that hit the bar in a game at TFS he really has barely had a sniff. I think it's probably the right decision to let him go but it's only really come about because we've barely ever needed to be throwing a striker on from the bench to rescue a game for us. Reckon he will do well at Clyde and would have improved any other team in this division. Can certainly see why McGlynn signed him and will go with my best wishes
  10. Tbf in the game against Edinburgh we rested most of our first choice 11 and even Man City would've struggled to play football on Bonnyrigg's mudheap of a pitch. No excuses if we can't get a result on Saturday but confident we'll be back to our old selves
  11. Hamilton singing none of our players and us taking one of theirs is top tier banter tbf
  12. Rumour has it Bobby Wales has requested to wait before rejoining Alloa on 28th January so he doesn't have to face Big Clubber Lang
  13. We've been playing 1 up front all season and the goals have flowed, apart from against Queens ironically Ross MacIver isn't exactly Cristiano Ronaldo either but he's done pretty well up there
  14. I did it earlier this season and think the hospitality is fairly priced for what you get. Sounds like we need more boxes and another kitchen. Maybe we could look at fitting out the huge unused area on the second floor? In terms of the free kids tickets, these should be kept. I reckon the sponsor will offset the cost of that. Even if a small number of extras are converted to lifelong fans it would be worth it anyway. It really is win-win. There were maybe around free 100 seats in the south stand despite the last two sell outs, but definitely a combination of more than 1 fan per seat in the ultras section and some ST holders not turning up. I know Sevco operate a sell-your-seat system so it can be done.
  15. Calvin Miller will be worth more than Hamilton's entire club once he's balled his way past a few Championship defences next season
  16. The stand behind the goal at Hamilton holds 2,250 so if there are 450 tickets left Aberdeen have sold around 1,800 so far
  17. Not really tbh as Shodwell has just stated a couple of facts
  18. Have to say I'm quite happy with Leodhas telling us how we should be doing FalkirkTV, as Alloa's is a superior product. Even Edinburgh City, probably the most tin-pot club in the SPFL have a better picture quality. I think we all appreciate the work the volunteers do, but it's clear things could be improved a lot with a little bit of technical know-how
  19. I couldn't really make out what the formation was tbh. It sort of looked like a 5-3-2 for the first couple of minutes with Agyeman and Mackie as the wing backs, but changed to 4-2-3-1 within the first 5 minutes. Everyone was in their usual roles apart from Henderson at CB and Donaldson at RB. We actually started the game ok (just not at the very high standards we've been setting recently) and created a few chances, it certainly didnt look like Edinburgh were going to race into a two goal lead. But as soon as they got their goals you could tell we were in trouble and it was obviously going to require getting Miller, McCann, Yeats etc on at half time.
  20. Clearly pulls Donaldson back. Don't know why the Edinburgh defender is trying to claim it was outside the box either
  21. Difficult to tell from the view but still looked like 4-2-3-1 to me with a back 4 of Mackie Henderson Lang & Donaldson. McGinn and Spencer sitting behind Ross Oliver and Agyeman, with Allan up front. Didnt work at all with Agyeman, Allan and Mackie particularly poor. McGinn didnt look fit and Donaldson was clearly uncomfortable at right back. Think he might have swapped with Lang at some point who looked equally out of position there. Hopefully McGlynn has learned his lesson, 2 points needlessly thrown away
  22. Thought it was a clear penalty tbf. Unlike the free kick and corner Edinburgh got their two goals from, which were both absolutely terrible decisions
  23. Farcical reason to delay a kick off. Every time we come here there is something. Get this mob back down to the lowland league where they belong
  24. I really fucking hate Celtic and Rangers. With a proper creamy passion. I really hate Dunfermline as well, but not quite as much. Airdrie, Livingston, Stirling, Morton and the local clubs are all very meh for me. I'd probably go for Airdrie next due to the unionist/nazi thing though tbf I reckon that's a really tiny percentage of their supporters. One of my work colleagues is an Airdrie fan and he's a good guy. Though I only started following football and Falkirk around 2002 so missed when the Airdrie rivalry was strongest and see Livingston as less of a franchise than many as they've been around since I can remember. At least these guys support their local team and I generally find my dislike comes because of the fans rather than the club itself. It really doesnt bother me that much if they don't like Falkirk - at the end of the day they're all diddy teams with very few fans and largely irrelevant to us long-term. I'd probably rather get one over on Hibs/Hearts/Aberdeen or the Dundee clubs as they are decent scalps for us. I'm all for certain games having that extra bit of spice but for me that comes more from having actual meaningful games during/at the end of the season rather than anything else and us not being a total basket case on the park.
