Was excellent in the game you won at Palmy scoring a reallyย ย good goal. Superb goal that day but not a great reflection of his spells at Alloa. He never really managed to nail down a place even though we were crying out for a wide player with a bit of pace and creativity last season. Can't say I would have wanted him back at the Recs for a third spell but perhaps QoS will get a tune out of him, he certainly has a few attributes to work with. Hope he does well.ย Still hopeful we will see another signing or two at Alloa soon. Looking a bit light in the middle of the park in particular.ย 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% the club is built on bricks not sand and that's down to the Chairman and his Board. Lewis is doing a great job with the new web site and am sure as the new signings are made he will post accordinglyย 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit like buying a team all but no one wants to play! Having an active website doesn't just mean tell us about signing, match reports. Some interviews with previous players, player interviews and fun stuff would go a long way to acknowledge that supporters aren't just here to pay championship prices for 1sr division football 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Barrys Sign (Top Half) Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Summer is always a bit of a silly season, but think there needs to be a bit of chilling out here. Covid has probably severely restricted the amount of potential interaction that can be achieved with new signings etc.ย We can't report signings till the deals are done, and the contract statuses were all out of sync this year due to the pandemic (I'm sure it's preciously been mentioned a lot of players weren't out of contract till June) In terms of additional content going on the website- the guy absolutely knocked his pan in last season and is probably enjoying a very well earned break. Appreciate there's perhaps a duty to advertise the club to the consumers/supporters but there also needs to be a degree of understanding in terms of numbers of personel at the club. Might look at another call with the chairman in the coming weeks via zoom if folk are interested. See if we can maybe get him and the manager involved- which would perhaps provide some of the insight and additional info some fans are looking for. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to you mate. That's some job description for 25 hours. As a one man show congratulations and keep up the great work.

I applaud the fact that LeodhasXD has single handedly kept the OS going, been the cameraman for the games ans all other things he does. But if he is covering 6 disciplines, wouldn't it be easier with 2 people covering 3 or 3 people covering 2 disciplines?ย This way, if someone is not available for whatever reason, the shortfall can be covered. Where as, if LeodhasXD isn't available, all the eggs that were in one basket are no longer available.ย Why have a dog and bark yourself?ย ย 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
