Bairn in Exile

I'm lucky in that I've only ever been a social drinker and I've never been a gambler so I can't begin to imagine the horrors of having to admit that you are an alcoholic or addicted to gambling. For Brian Rice to have gotten his addiction under control and gotten his managerial career back on track says so much for the guy and he should be applauded for his efforts. To have some anonymous arsehole in the crowd shouting abuse at him and upsetting him to the extent that he obviously was is despicable. As you say, I really hope that the Jamie Swinney, on behalf of the club, and the FSS etc. all write to both Alloa Athletic FC and to Brian personally apologising for the abuse that he had to endure. Oh aye, and please, please, please identify this "fan" and ban him for life.

No one likes @Enigma we think you're a c*nt.

What would you call the boots that they are wearing, cleats? Football studs as we know them didn't come along until the mid 1920s, I believe. The glaikit looking bloke in the front row does a fantastic impression of Mr. Spock, by the way.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, support Ayr United.

Should have left it at that mate. If a male commentator is jingoistic, imperialistic and shows bias, call him out for it. If a female commentator is jingoistic, imperialistic and shows bias, call her out for it. Otherwise you're being patronising.

I sent an email, "issues at the ground"

I've logged in but nothing!

Done

As we all know, we hold the Bigot Brothers’ fans in disdain for jumping on buses to Glasgow to spew their hatred and to see their respective clubs hoover up nearly all the trophies going in Scotland, i.e. they are glory hunters. Playing devil’s advocate here, maybe Stenny fans view our fans who live in Stenhousemuir / Larbert / Carron and go to watch Falkirk as glory hunters (please, don’t laugh). And as an extension of this, they have now come to hate all things Falkirk?

No Harry, I've never known anybody volunteer to be a Ginger in my life! I'm no' Ginger! Me neither! I'm no' f*cking Ginger! It's auburn. It's that c*nt that looks like Kirk Douglas that's Ginger!

Just brilliant! Set my alarm for 2.30am to watch the game and no stream - shite!

I'm assuming I'm allowed to change my original prediction from December to: Alloa 1 Falkirk 2 Sure to bite me on the arse!

Now don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad. Make it the first two, eh?

And they all play like Galacticos? Hi Gary Deans, hiya pal

Once Alegria had left the club one argument against Burrell starting was that if he wasn't performing the only "striker" ready to come on to replace him was Gary Oliver. Now, if Rumarn is misfiring, we can bring on Allan or Wright. He's earned his place in the starting lineup in my books.

Lewis: "Talk us through the goal" He could have said: "Well, I could see that Rumarn was going to get on the end of Aidan's cross so in anticipation of that I took half a step away from the Kelty defender which gave me enough space so that when the ball came through to me I was able to get in a glancing header to direct it away from the keeper". He actually said: "No got a clue!' I love him already!

It is not broadcasting yet mate, usually about 15 minutes before KO.

Right, I have just gone back over the last 25 pages or 500 posts and these 4 are the ones that I perceive as being "negative". Less than 1% of the posts. @grumpyoldman and @Brockvillenomore, maybe you guys are just being a bit over sensitive and always looking for negative posts and maybe seeing some when there are none?

And you still have the job? I hope this isn't your job application for Play Your Part!
