  1. 2 minutes ago, Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) said:

    But an absolute joke for the people that are attending, because they've moved the kick off to1pm. But of course when did anyone ever care about them....

    At least you don't have Northern Ireland... I can still express some sympathy to Alloa supporters though. Not a surprise to me the SPFL shafting Livi though.

  2. I knew we got a new goalkeeping coach as well, David Martindale told me as I passed him in the street.

    Seriously though I did see this on my twitter someone I followed liked the guys post on his own twitter can't remember who or what the goalkeeping coach' name was but I do remember he was the former Albion Rovers goalkeeping coach (I think).

    Yeah, Ross Ballantyne. I saw the tweet also mate.

  3. No chance should we be letting him go to someone else in the division. Yeah, we're nine points clear of ninth, but what if we have a collapse in form and he ends up scoring crucial goals which end up relegating us? If he goes out on loan it has to be to League One.

    Interested to see how Hopkin does, his spell as caretaker with us was truly awful but it was with an abysmal squad so it's possible he was just unlucky.

    What were the results/record when he was in charge of Morton? I remembered reading you got skelped by ICT.

  4. Signed on a short-term contract until the end of the season, apparently. Didn't realise he was training with you guys, but apparently he has a trail with Wrexham, which obviously didn't work out. Hopefully Daniello took a look while all this was going on and decided he was past it.

    Watch him rack up the goals in League One now :lol:

    Haha, thanks for replying. I'd have gambled on him had he not rejoined accies at that point. Should definitely do a job for stenny. Was unaware he had gone down to wrexham for a trial haha.

  5. I don't like our style of play as much under Lennon, but he doesn't have much of a choice. I was just talking to my mum yesterday about his reasoning for letting most of the old squad go (for those who don't know, he thought his St Mirren squad downed tools after winning the League Cup, so he was concerned that our old guard would have an attitude problem when asked to put a shift in this season), and his prior experience might have worked against him a wee bit as I couldn't see him having the same problems with last season's squad.

    Chop would still do well in a better team IMO. As it stands, he's been working harder this season than he did in the last, and does a great job of picking up the forward balls, holding the ball up, and laying it off to forward runners. I don't know why we insist on playing high balls up to him, as he's almost always going to be out-jumped by the bigger lads marking him; he's smart enough that he often doesn't bother jumping, waiting instead to see if the defender makes a hash of the header, which he's then in a position to take advantage of. Just give it to his feet FFS. Get a fast (or big) goalscorer up with him and they'd make hay together.

    I've no answers (other than the embarrassingly-obvious GET SOME FUCKING STRIKERS IN!), but the mistakes have been made and I don't know that another manager would do any better with the materials at hand. Surely Danny's bound to be looking for other players, but you'd like to think we'd have had a chance of signing someone like Jason Scotland, considering he ended up at Stenny. Apparently his signings at St Mirren weren't great, so maybe he could use a good talent scout alongside him in a Clough/Taylor type of scenario.

    Is Scotland on loan to stenny? We had him training with us at Livi, before he rejoined accies.

    Chopra is a bit of a poacher who is good experience to have, definitely need a faster option at alloa.

  6. I see the development side are playing the same tactics as the first team, stroll a game and lose.

    3-0 up against Forfar tonight and lost 4-3.

    Ruthorford, donaldson, Beaumont, McKenna and Boulding all played full 90 minutes.

    I had my doubts about Boulding but after that performance from him tonight I can't believe we have gave him a deal, dreadful from start to finish and reminded me of the same Boulding we had before he went on that scoring run, lazy, lacks strength, shirks tackles every time.

    I understand he's not fully fit but it shows how bad we are, our number 11 that played beside him Kyle something (maybe someone can relighten me) was head and shoulders above him and must be wondering how he's not getting on the bench.

    Ooft , who scored for Livi?
