Watching the Queen's Park 6-0 highlights, Stevie looks like a shadow of the player he was for us. Defeated body language. It's odd it seems to have worked out so poorly for him at TFS, I really thought he would do well. The way Sheerin has used him has negated a lot of his qualities (aggressive offensive defence, mobility) and the captaincy doesn't seem to have fitted well with him. Obviously there's an effect from the general malaise there also, but just goes to show again how a player who is brilliant at one club can be a failure at another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe a mistake to put captaincy on him too. Maybe he feels he has to do more, and as a result spreading himself too thin. As soon as he had a properly defined role at Alloa (2016 onwards) we saw the best of him. Ball winning and covering runs forward from full backs and others, or tackling folk and giving the ball to Flanny. Obviously only saw him twice this season in the flesh so hard to make a true assessment of where it's all gone wrong. Back in the day at times you'd give a guy a season to settle in before you saw the best of them. You're lucky to get 10 minutes in the modern game before fans have made up their mind. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeodhasXD Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/joint-response-group-update-17-december/ Just reading between the lines here - sounds like there will be disruption. We don't have the same luck as last year to be in a mostly full-time league. If you enjoy watching football in person I'd be making a point to enjoy it now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to see how it won’t get interrupted with how this variant appears to be spreading. Be interesting what happens with the cup if there is a stoppage. Minded to say it may not be the worst thing in the world if it got moved until after the transfer window closed so the money from it couldn’t be wasted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCrabbitWasp Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 What a boring team we now are. Yet again very little attacking intent. Surely BF must go... and to to it off we are losing so take off two attacking players for a big haddie and a defensive midfielder 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevchenko Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Freezing my nuts off for 2 hours to watch that dross. He shouldn’t even be given the option of resigning and should be sacked before the bus gets back to Alloa. Mulraney needs to grow a pair before we end up doing a Brechin. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylstheref Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 If he doesn't go my hope is Airdrie pump us. Only way for the arrogant manager to go will be a sacking. Sad to say that but I'm done with the whole pantomine now, even in the festive period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oweny Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Missed the game due to having to self icolate . I don't like commenting when I haven't been but will make an exception this time . 5 wins out of 18 simply not the best Barry . We at times had better win rates in the championship up against good teams . This simply cannot go on or we will be relegated by Easter . We won't bounce back . We have packed out a squad with guys not even getting near the team . Guys like Alan Trouten , an absolute brilliant Wasp cannot even make the bench . The same team that couldn't score against Clyde takes the field today again . No sign of young O'Donnell getting a start anytime soon . Would suggest in times of crisis like this , just don't go writing about other teams in national newspapers. Just focus on getting our own house in order. Tommy Wright sacked today for much less than this . It's not working guys and I backed the manager from the off and supported him but the win rate for a relegated club looking to bounce back , with the budget we have is unacceptable. Brian Rice next or Paddy to steady the ship till the end of the season to keep us up . Edited December 18, 2021 by Oweny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's played behind closed doors. 200k out of Stirling Albion's pocket would be quite funny.

Not sure we should be mocking our rivals when we have potentially spunked a vast amount of money on a manager, large useless backroom team (including a kit man) when we already had one and a large pile of dung, sorry players (typo). That herd of pish may well take us into the same league as the Binos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing at another club losing revenue regardless of who they are is poor stuff especially when we are so dire just now . losing fans through the gate big time but no one at the club seems to care ( MM ) getting our own house in order comes to mind ! . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as today was rough again, there should still be enough quality in the team to avoid the drop. Assuming another few additions in January too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylstheref Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 And whilst I'm on the high horse and another Saturday is ruined just noticed 2 of our youngsters have made it to the Scottish Schoolboy squad. Congrats boys but for god sake leave quickly before your progress is stunted for doing well. The manager doesn't like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
