He started off there but switched with Roberts maybe 30 minutes in. Didn't get much purchase before going off fairly early in the second though.

Honestly after yesterday I'd just accept it. That would get football cancelled if every game played like that.

The real production value deserves it.

Passive as anything today. Don't think Stirling are good but they're workmanlike. Closed the passing lanes threw themselves into the 1v1's and generally got the better of the chances as a result. They sat deep and with no space behind just mopped up any long balls into Sammon and Rodden and we were way too one-dimensional. Pass marks for Deveney who came in and got some crosses in to threaten a little but a game to forget.

Couple PSA's - My Friday night plans might be washed out.

It costs me £6 to stream for three hours to no-one. It costs me ~£6.30 to stream to one person. ~£6.60 to three people and so it goes... I forget the cost of the API that checks your IP address but I think it was like a £1.70 per game last year on average. It costs £0 if no-one triggers the API to check their IP address. Often people buy for their club only so they might pay the monthly sub and only watch one game. It's not retirement money but it probably paid a player (or two depending on who you pick) for the year last season. I'd bargain on making more money with the bigger audience in the Championship.

Makes a change to my usual adjectives of "shrinking violet", "nervy" and "small" when referring to backup goalies. I'm certain even in the short time I've seen him that he will go down as a cult hero.

@Francesc Fabregas doing the commentary on Saturday the first mention or anecdote we spoke about which wasn't on the highlights - the terrace podcast a la Rodden is just crowdsourced pieandbovril, so you've no idea what you're talking about and that set up the running gag that continued through the commentary. You've almost forgotten Ogayi played against Celtic B and Stenhousemuir - there was one sensational leap to save in the bottom corner against Stenny if I remember correctly. Also don't remember if it made the highlights but one of the driven corners he picked it out the air like the ball was standing still. There's a raw talent and athleticism to Ogayi. Again not in the QoS highlights but Ogayi came for a routine cross in the first half and after landing started feeling his calf. The cross that he kicked away I think he was feeling it and couldn't manoeuvre comfortably. Still absolutely did his job by giving the ball a boot on the way past. At that point he went off injured. Having watched Neil Parry make his fair share of clangers in goal I'm already looking at Ogayi as Parry that can jump. It's certainly enthusiastic backup for Morrison rather than bringing on a kid.

Personally we thought it was great fortune for Alloa because Johnson is good at playing out from the back. Jay Hogarth gave him a mention a few weeks back when I was talking to him about being a talent. Can't remember if he said best in the league but he might've just been having a dig at his brother at Falkirk QoS tried to play out with Botterill and he looked shaky as did the rest of their defence. Johnson did it last year with Airdrie against us and we barely landed a glove on them and him. I'd be very surprised if Bartley wasn't expecting to use Johnson as number 1. They certainly - to their detriment - tried to play as if it was him in goals.

Our prices have been stagnant for many years too. Taking into consideration years of inflation it's really much cheaper than 3 or 4 years ago when the ousted chairman and co were giving it big licks about not taking any of the complimentary tickets they were entitled to.

I'm making these little game promos for our fixtures as something different and trying to incorporate something from the teams or just make a joke (see the Kelty Heart steak.) I'm struggling with Hamilton - now I can fall back on Hammy the Hamster but if there's anything that gives you a bit of identity... I could really use it. I don't want to run out of steam before I at least complete the 9 opening fixtures.

That confident our game plan is written down is written down for all to see.

Don't think Todd is. It's a deceiving ball through and I think it goes beyond Todd close to Ogayi before contact is made. Immaterial anyway as @Homer Thompsonhas pointed out, double jeopardy is getting penalised with a penalty and a sending off. You don't get that anymore - it's either a red outside the box or a penalty and a yellow inside. The ref didn't even do what was in his rulebook which says about handballs: considered to have made their body unnaturally bigger when the position of their hand/arm is not a consequence of, or justifiable by, the player’s body movement for that specific situation. After the opening to our season I was surprised at just how comfortable in that game we were. Long may it continue especially against Stirling on Saturday.

Neither was remotely at risk of a red with one caveat.... Goalkeepers can't be red carded for DOGSO unless they don't make a serious attempt for the ball. In any other circumstance they are yellow carded to not give the triple punishment of red card, substitution and penalty. See last year's playoff game against Hamilton for a stone wall red card for a goalkeeper. The first penalty wasn't a DOGSO offence, violent conduct or serious foul play. As much as it was a tidy through ball - Ogayi was off his line and favourite for picking it up ahead of the Todd. The caveat being the second penalty is just a joke on so many levels. Decisions like that will get football cancelled so I wouldn't be surprised at anything the ref gives. Ogayi is entertaining. Only seem him in a few games but so far his kicks are long range - he's got quick reflexes, and is a good jumper and he's quick off his line. Unorthodox yes but box office.

One game was on Saturdya - one League cup match next year. Back for Stirling Albion.

McKay's missed his calling as a striker going by the equaliser though.

This was a ballache to edit tonight. Technical issue after technical issue.

Quite like Debayo, definitely a player in there. Not sure Devine's fully fit yet which I'd posit as his most common status as a professional footballer. McKay has been fine - meh.

Stop inviting the Falkirk fans here This bait should be banned for being too good.

Good point, hadn't noticed that detail. Still, off centre a little. Which I don't mind too much but the TV people specifically want as central as you can get. Wonder where they'll stick away TV then.

Not since wuffster did the highlights anyway. First thing I notice is you've got HD cameras but your stream is only 720p 60fps. The native resolution will be 1080p I assume. There's software encoding going on somewhere for the stream to send it to it's final destination ie vmix to your endpoint. There also might be some encoding on the capture device going into Vmix and your computer (although mine gives me the uncompressed output I do also have a backup which compresses the feed into it and has two inputs if I really wanted more than one camera) The output of the camera might give you a rubbish image. I don't know what you exactly guys are using but they are old panasonic models. I'd imagine they are fine as they are big broadcast cameras but size is usually just space for features you don't need. The amount of data you send to a stream is usually charged. Some clubs want their costs to be minimal and so cut the quality further. I always use this as a rough guide. (ours has a bitrate limit and we can't stream more than 1080p 60fps and 6mbps unless we configure it differently. I've had this conversation on the Falkirk thread that I'd rather buy better equipment to stream 1080/60 than jump to the prohibitively expensive 4k). So streaming at 2-6mbps, but recording however, I think my camera is on a 50mbps setting so it's lots more information to make it sharp. That's what your highlights are being edited on.

I assume though 130k loss in a year that erected two seated stands behind each goals is actually not bad. We were quoted a eyewatering amount for building one stand at the railway end so it doesn't necessarily surprise me. Although, undoubtedly, a gamble to keep sucking on the sweet nectar that is the increased revenue of the Championship as long as you can stomach £400k-per-year deficits in League 1 you can join the Falkirk club.
