  1. Can I be honest here - the way I viewed Saturdays game - u got a lot of big bruisers. We play a lot of good posession football - wins nout unless u get results tho Set up very defensively which Annan did find hard to break down but u just relied on counter attacks, Sammon - although he scored the goal he has seen better days. Heard Rice's interview after game - very fair.
  2. Alloa's always been a stuffy team well organised, big bruisers now but wi no flair since the days o loan signing Stevie May history ago. Great goalie tho today- comes from Tasmania ? Tochukwu Ogayi ! Well he's no your usual backpacker.
  3. Alloa - on the plus side the Bellhaven is pouring a lot better & the T lager is spot on. Stevie May -1 o the best we've ever played against ,quality. Big game for both of us- are your defenders slow ? Yes, then you are beat . Just ma opinion.
  4. What a lovely pint ( well maybe more) of Tennents lager tonight.
  5. No ,we had our chances against Peterhead but they were deserved winners against what Murphy thought was our best team albeit the boy from Rangers James Graham ( looks a prospect) was cup tied,Garrity still injured and the young lad from Carlisle just his first game although he showed flashes of trickery and good football skills. Should be a close game Saturday. We're not as bad as folk perceive.
  6. What about James Graham ( Rangers loan to Annan) he's defo one to watch. Never a penalty - deservedly great save by Greg Fleming.. Great end to end stuff from both sides. Draw about right.
  7. James Graham - what a player. He'll put bums on seats,believe me.
  8. Maybe a pretty basic observation but even after 4 games it looks like all the full time teams will finish top 4. Hamilton or Falkirk to win the league.ok Hamilton but very 50 /50. The rest can fight among themselves. Edinburgh City to finish bottom.
  9. Aye we got gubbed.Fair do's. We run with a small squad and injuries left us thin on the ground. Great away day tho, cheap booze and good crack. What was the half time draw number ? I'll give it to charity if its mine
  10. UCI - champs. Para cycling road events on today and tomorrow. Starts at Chrichton campus in Dumfries heads out along Bankend Road down the hill to Glencaple and back in to Dumfries.
  11. Of course a very tough game for us boys against the supposed league favourites. We are pretty thin on numbers certainly ,but we are definitley improving. Held our own against Raith in our last game, without 2 of our main strikers,3 if u include Aiden going off early doors. I know we were at home but Falkirk any better than Raith ? Game on.
  12. Annan do their talking on the park no off it, so let's see what happens.
  13. 1,750 attendance for a friendly pretty good, no , it is brilliant for our level. Great Carlisle support but good for us too. Can only but help strengthen relationships between our 2 clubs to both our benefits. Both in the same boat - at the extremes of centralised media.
  14. Stuff the soft talk. If you don't aim high you don't get high. We've kept most of the team who were the 1st league 2 team to get through group stages of the League Cup. Great camaraderie ,boys did well & that counts for a lot. .Yeh let's get more quality for competition, improve ,move forward but lets show the full time teams we are in for the fight.
  15. Don't know if this the right thread but I believe bottom team automatic relegation,2nd bottom in a play off - lets have a true pyramid system.
  16. Terrible for the young man. No malice from anyone . Hope he makes a full recovery. In the game he seemed full of energy willing his team to do well.
  17. Most sensible Queens fans would want Annan in preference to Clyde for 1.greater interest. 2.financial reasons. 3.less travel for away games. 4.the Annan team consists of quite a lot of D&G & Cumbrian boys ( Border area) I'll not say anything else which would only provoke the deranged element of their support !
  18. Dry your tears David W - "bitter taste" ! You robbed us last time we played you in the playoff final with a penalty which never should have been given. Cie la vie.
  19. On his game fantastic ,been greatly helped with the experience of Wullie Gibson. Higher percentage of good games than bad games this year.
  20. Looking forward to a good Annan support on Tuesday. All the boys looked primed ,the whole squad that is , but football is football & anything can happen. Without being too cocky after seeing the semi final highlights against EF not really too worried.
  21. Why no just take over East Kilbride , change their name. A big toon like that otherwise they could overtake you !
  22. Bearing in mind we have a lot of doonhamers in our team & majority of fans are Cresswell babies or the new D&G infirmary. Bigger gates,more money. So surely no the gypsies. Has it been confirmed where they are playing next year ?
