I know its highly unlikely, but it would be utterly utterly beautiful if Sena got away with this.

Imagine the tears and snotters

it is a witchhunt , they will bow to pressure .

Of course they will- probably a 0.0000000001% chance of the yellow card being upheld. But it would be a party on social media, as well as a wee personal call back to Hugh Keevins tomorrow evening on Clyde 1 SSB 🙂

Our match report from a 4-0 win in Cumbernauld will include the phrase "primitive football."

Sena hit a really good run of form, then was sent off after 35 seconds against Cove Rangers. His form dipped after he served his suspension, but he has been gradually improving again and genuinely thought he was outstanding against Celtic- probably his best game for us so far.

Blaise Riley-Snow signed on loan from Raith, central midfielder apparently. Probably did need someone in there but not as big a priority as a striker and probably a left back.

He's a holding midfielder. He started off reasonably enough with us, and was part of a midfield who did really well against Aberdeen in the cup. Unfortunately, he wasn't quite at Championship level and fell down the pecking order. One of the main issues is that he can be quite slow and will often go quite late into tackles. It's a move which is good for both parties. He'll almost certainly get more game time and it gives Alloa reinforcements in the middle of the park.

In the second half (ironically playing a bit further forward), in the first half he was terrible, and while you are right in saying he's not the speediest and is clumsy in the challenge  his worst aspect is not seeming to be able to read the game that well. He's not up to the pace of any given game and often will miss runs he should be tracking, or generally standing in the wrong place.

The dip in performance during the 2-1 win over Ayr between Spencer going off and him going on was fucking stark.

In short, he's not very good.

Not sure you’re selling him to the Alloa fans there renton 😂

I guess not. They might get a tune out him if they resist the urge to play him deep, or to involve him in any kind of phase of the game that involves tracking anyone other than the guy immediately in front of him.

He seems to have a decent pass on him, and a good shot from the one or two times he's got into that position. I'd play him further up, in a 3 with two guys who know the positional side of the game.

Him causing carnage charging down full backs might be a sight to behold.
