geo87 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 How is Offord getting on? He looking comfortable at this level? I’m guessing we will try and punt Brophy in January and bring back either Jamieson or Offord for some game time.Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mainly been on the bench with a couple of starts. Certainly has talent, but I'd say he's not ready for St Mirren's first team yet. I'd expect him to stay with us this season and then, maybe, go out to a championship side next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free beer Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Hi, I've created a document describing and providing evidence for the actual events that led to your club's formation:: https://thebeautifuldribblinggame.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/alloa_formation.pdf The above also contains pictures of James Rigg (in later years) who instigated the club's formation (in 1880) and was the first captain, and Henry Goodyear who first introduced association football to Alloa - and scored the only goal in the first association match ever held on West End Park, in 1879. Below is an extract covering the matches between the two clubs (who were allegedly the one and the same according to the popular "Clackmannan renamed to Alloa" fake news). Alloa v Clackmannan County Matches Alloa played several matches against Clackmannan County during the 1880-81 season. The two clubs also joined forces as "Clackmannanshire Association Football Clubs" for one charity match against Pilgrims (Glasgow) for the benefit of the poor and neglected children of the Alloa Industrial Home. Matches : November 6th, 1880 Alloa 3-0 Clackmannan, at West End Park February 5th, 1881 Alloa 0-2 Clackmannan, at West End Park May 14th, 1881 Alloa 2-2 Clackmannan, at West End Park Charity Match: The November 6th Alloa v Clackmannan County match, listed above, was used as a trial for the selection of the combined "Clackmannanshire Association Football Clubs" team which would take part in the December charity match against Pilgrims (Glasgow). The charity event was held on December 4th, 1880, at Alloa Park, which was kindly provided by the Honorary Earl of Mar and Kellie. The final result of the sixty minute match was: Clackmannanshire Association Football Clubs 0-7 Pilgrims (Glasgow) James Rigg was the combined home team's captain. Enjoy! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have long regarded the 1878 date as being wrong after coming across those games between Alloa and Clackmannan County in the newspaper archive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevchenko Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 A few technical issues last week meant the podcast never went up - I've stuck the episode up now in case anyone wants to pretend that Saturday didn't happen and just enjoy pumping QoS instead. We will be back later this week, with a special guest to help us preview the Open Goal Broomhill game. https://waspsnest.buzzsprout.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I think we scored 5 goals from 5 efforts on target in the game against QoS. At 3.20 on Saturday we had scored 3 goals from our first 3 efforts at Meadowbank. 8 in a row is some effort . Obviously what followed wasn't quite as impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that myself , the defensive part needs work though , Willie Muir was less than inspiring and we can take solace that we had so many missing . we can recover and do well , but ! like some i still feel mr Rice is not getting the absolute best from the squad . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggregate 8-4 sounds decent for this years edition of the playoffs. I don't know what was going on today but the SPFL were posting our exploits non-stop. Assume they're trying to highlight the teams still playing over winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’re going through the 30 teams still playing in alphabetical order, they started with Airdrie on Saturday. It’s quite a good idea to be fair, I certainly enjoyed seeing the goals from that game against Rangers today anyway! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Wanted to check if that was, in fact, the Kirk Broadfoot who scored in the Scottish Cup, but this one appears to be far too young, according to the OG Broomhill website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
