Cove vs Alloa 18.12.2021
fruitbowl replied to CoveRangers1922's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
£18 is steep for the Alloa streaming service but £12 for Pixalot is a scandal. As to the Alloa performance, totally insipid. Hard to see how we are going to improve with the current management team in place. -

It looking foggy on screen but is it possible the camera lens needs a clean as well. -
I am sure he doesn’t. I await the return of Mendy as confirmation.

Did Dumbarton’s ground not used to be called The Really Cheap Insurance Stadium or something similar?

Thinking of paying £15 must hint at some form of disability so you may get in for a tenner. -
Barry Ferguson vs Paul Hartley
fruitbowl replied to LeodhasXD's topic in Scottish League 1 General Chatter
Mendy was fine in the centre but as soon as you play him in a wide position he gets exposed. Good effort from Alloa after a reckless challenge resulting in a deserved red where although Niang got some of the ball it was clearly a tackle of excessive force. The introduction of Cawley made a huge difference. Unlucky not to get something from the game. -

The Rock Ridge sheriff got a better welcome than BF. Please give him a bit of time to get it right. -

Indeed. I sometimes think I have strayed onto the Falkirk thread. -

We could re-sign big Geoff and make it a double act. -

In the world of one year contracts I can see that the incumbent manager is looking as far as possible for players with a bit of experience and age wise ideally 20 plus. Within this structure I question if it is worthwhile, other than to wave the community club flag, running a youth/reserve team as I can’t recall much impact from anyone from that source in the 9 years I have been supporting the club. -

I thought Boyd and Scougall as the two wide men looked lively but when you have a lumbering but towering centre surely it would be better to have them positioned so they are going for the byline and producing crosses rather than cutting inside on their stronger foot. -

I think in my first season watching, c. 10 years ago league cup games, which were straight knock-out ties were included but not thereafter. As discussed in previous close seasons it’s not altogether the fact that it’s paid admission only but instead the price point. I recall the Supporters Club approaching the club asking for them to consider tiered pricing, but to no avail. I guess it’s extra sensitive this time around but if it is full price admission the stance taken by the club will be hardly surprising. -

Indeed, I look forward to welcoming Back Post Misses. Due to Falkirk recent efforts he should have had a fair number of visits to low altitude stadia since his last experience at the Recs -

Yea I recall Printer suggesting a pay per play deal! It was a valid point though. I think how we learned to deal with what was a chronic injury was first rate, basically if there was a twinge miss a game and come back the following week fit. -

The commentary from you both was fine and way ahead of the visual experience. If you can achieve something along the lines of the quality you get from the gantry video then I would be happy. -

Another interesting signing. Looks like there is going to be good competition for places this season. -

He was a disaster. No confidence or command of his area. We brought back a half fit Neil Parry as we were going to be relegated with him in goal. -

I’m sure everyone on here would sign-up to the fives idea if WeeToonLad could get honorary season ticket holder status to allow all teams to put the boot in.
