  1. Could end up being sponsored by a popular kids comic and play our home games at the Beano Stadium. Only saving grace would be the different spellings
  2. For a guy a bit iffy coming for crosses in his own box, PJ done well to win two headers up the other end. Maybe Andy could encourage him to come out and head crosses away instead. Can we get a worst celebration of the season award this year? Got a few contenders
  3. Only watched the highlights but all four goals conceded are poor on our part. Like someone said about Cawley, Taggs has lots of credit in the bank but he looked at fault for at least two of the goals. Two free kicks into the box with Montrose players unmarked. We hit the woodwork 3 times and had a few good chances so can probably count ourselves a little unfortunate to come away with nothing. Did Cammy go off injured or was it a tactical sub? Would be interesting to hear what Kev said to merit the red card. One of my favourite things about lower league football is you can hear the players/managers shouting at each other and the ref. Heard many players swearing at the ref or questioning decisions without getting a yellow card, let alone a red. Will be interesting to see how the team bounce back next week. Kelty got a battering off Hamilton so they'll be looking to bounce back too. Next three games are similar to our Annan/Stirling/Annan run where we should be looking for 9 points.
  4. Guessing Miko will be fit for Saturday but if he's not would be nice to have Scougall available to play in the deeper role. If not I'd guess Robbo would play. I'm not a big fan of Andy bringing Sammon on and pushing Wales out to the wing, don't think it gets the best out of Bobby. Would be interested to see Sammo play behind Wales to try and get some flick ons for him to chase.
  5. Kurtis in the team of the week. Two weeks in a row we've had a player in the XI. Nice to see Jay in there too
  6. Unlike Cove and Hamilton, Montrose have had good results recently. I think in the form table they're just behind us. Last few seasons, we've done pretty well against Montrose so hopefully it continues!
  7. We've gone from having Cammy's freekick as a standout goal of the season winner to having 4 to choose from in the last few weeks. I wonder if Andy and the management team are making any efforts to sign some of the squad up for next season. If Kurtis keeps his form up, I've no doubt he'll have offers from teams in the championship (one of them could be us ). Good to see Devine back, wonder if he'd have played from the start if McKay was available or if Andy would have tried to ease him back in a bit more. McKay did well when he played but I think Devine and Neill are our best partnership.
  8. He's mentioned in the Open Goal interview with McGlynn. He said he always felt playing as a number 9 would suit Ross better than how we had him playing in a sort of number 10 role with Sammon up top.
  9. Nice to see Steven making it into the team of the week.
  10. Good job with the pod as usual, soon be at episode 100, expecting something special when it comes Found Steven a bit frustrating to start with, he was a bit greedy without doing much with the ball. Remember hearing a fan telling him to f off back to St Johnstone at one point. Think it's been since the Motherwell game he's totally turned it around. Think Wales will go to the top and if Taylor keeps going the way he is, he could make it there too. One thing I've really liked about Miko is his match awareness, you see him slotting in at right back if Taggs is pushing forward and he dropped back to cover Neill when he went for a jaunt up the pitch. Had a laugh at Andy shouting if you ran up, you can run back to Neill after it too. The company my dad works for is based in Finland so he's been telling his colleagues about Miko. Apparently Alloa (in Finnish it's written ällöä but not sure how it's pronounced!) translates roughly to gross in Finnish.
  11. Would be good to name the same XI as Saturday but assuming McKays red card will stand and Cammy might not be fit to play. Guessing, as suggested above, Robbo would come in and move Taggs in to CB. Not sure how close to fitness Devine is but guessing he won't be available Saturday again. Probably Sutherland at LB if Cammy is out. Thought Coulson was underpar on Saturday but to be fair most of the team were poor first half and he was up against Doyle who was up and down the wing all half, unlike others he never got the chance to redeem himself second half getting subbed off early. We go into the game with a lot of confidence in the team, hopefully come away with a win but I'd be happy with a draw to keep our unbeaten run going.
  12. Big gate was open as normal. Did notice our section of young supporters seemed a bit smaller than against Stirling and Falkirk. How does the appeal process work for the red card? Guessing they'd review our match footage?
  13. Are we sure the same 22 players came out for the second half? The game totally turned on it's head. Been a bit critical of Morrison this season but he made some very good saves today. Another highlight reel goal for Steven. Very harsh red card too, his foot didn't leave the ground and he got the ball.
  14. We got 9 points out of 9 which was the important thing but our performances haven't been great. Other games we've played well but came away with a draw. I liked the look of Sutherland further up and Cammy at LB. If all fit, I'd probably play the same starting XI we put out against Stirling. Been good to see LD getting some game time as he comes back to fitness but don't think he's fit enough to start a game yet.
  15. Anyone know what happened with the Quinn Coulson substitution? Sutherland came off then came back on and Coulson put a jacket back on and sat down.
  16. Posted that at half time and regretted it 5 minutes into the second half! Definitely rode our luck but fortunately came away with 3 points. Not picking up the short corners was frustrating and there were a few crosses I felt PJ could have come for but he stayed rooted to his line. Credit to the handful of Annan fans that made the trip too.
  17. Much better game of football to watch than Saturday! Nice to see Stanger and Churchy in the stand too.
  18. Hopefully it'll be passed the wee fuds bedtime so they won't be an issue tonight. I'd be a little surprised if Robbo plays, two games in three days would be a lot given he was out for a good chunk of time but if McKay isn't available again, we'll be light on defenders so he might have to play. I'd like to see Cammy at LB too and give Sutherland a go further up to see what he can bring.
  19. I've seen a few people say they aren't going to games due to the fan trouble, if they keep treating all fans the way they I'd imagine that will turn more people away. Saw someone moaning to the police about the exit strategy and the police didn't take the criticism very well.
  20. Short of refusing entry to anyone who resembles a wee fanny, not sure what more the club can really do. They've had the police go into schools to give talks and hired additional security for the ground. They do need to find a safer way to get people out the ground though. If Falkirk win the league at least we won't have them coming to the Recs next season so one less group of kids to deal with. On the game, heard the commentary say Stevens goal was a goal of the season contender. I'd have gone for Cammy's free kick against Kelty but think Stevens goal edges is given it was a match winner in the local derby.
  21. Heard her say it's the police decision to stop the fans rushing out and that if we could behave it wouldn't be happening. It's ridiculous having all the fans rushing out one tiny gate.
  22. Some questionable decisions from the ref today, Mikos yellow card really harsh since he clearly won the ball. Kurtis Roberts good again, he's getting much better at using the ball now. I'd like us to try and tie him down with a new contract asap but could see him moving up to full time football. Thought Stirling were better team first half and we were better second half but overall not a great game of football. Annan got a good win against Hamilton but hopefully we'll get another 3 points on Tuesday and move into the play off spots
  23. I liked Murray Miller, thought we'd try and sign him when he got released by Rangers. Thought he'd do well for you guy when I saw he'd signed for you
  24. Stirlings wee fannies lighting a firework then dropping it so they had to run away before it went off was a highlight of the game at Forthbank
  25. Unfortunately yes, our wee fannies are still there. Would like to see the club try and do something to stop them but not sure what they can really do. If we end up with more and more away supporters not coming to the game (have seen a couple of Alloa fans say they're not coming due to recent troubles too) because of them, the clubs finances will suffer.
