printer Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I see that Wee Kev is now on 282 appearances for the Mighty Wasps, meaning of course he is only 18 more from making his 300th.The legendary Vally was the last to make it to 300, I understand. If Kev keeps fit and avoids lengthy suspensions (both likely I reckon given his history) then he should get to 300 sometime in March/April 2019. I'm sure the club and SC will mark the achievement appropriately. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any loan can be cancelled if all three parties agree to it being cancelled but he wouldn't be able to play for Hearts until January 1st anyway so it would be pointless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobe2010 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Cracking result today and further proof if necessary that we are well capable of being competitive in this league.The only downside is we haven,t scored from open play.Also further proof that narrowing our home pitch was misguided and negative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see the manager raising the pitch issue in his post match comments yesterday, praising the away form and saying the home park "certainly hasn't worked they way we would have liked". Hopefully a sign that they are planning to make it bigger at New Year. Absolutely terrific result yesterday and it's great to see Alloa sitting above the relegation places. Hopefully they can keep the momentum going in the cup in Edinburgh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression after the Dunfermline game ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, think that would be after QoS game on December 22nd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
printer Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Yes, interesting comments from Goody about the pitch. We'll see if the dimensions are changed back.What continues to be very encouraging is that we are at least matching most teams and sometimes outplaying them, yesterday being a good example of the latter. Yes, we are well organised and the defence is solid (with a top leader in big Andy), but we aren't JUST going out to frustrate the opposition. In fact we are a better side when we get the ball down and pass it about.The way Flanny and wee Kev are playing they would hold their place in pretty much any team in the league. Up front continues to be the weakest area in the team. Partly that is down to confidence - how did Greig miss that headed chance or Trouts even set him up for it when a shot was on - but, of course, scoring goals at this level was always going to be the most difficult thing.We should have too much for Edinburgh City, but it's a tricky tie; they are winning games. Would be good to get to another semi and take it from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepy Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Defo think we will widen the pitch as soon as possible, do that and I think we stay up no bother going by how we’ve been away from home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alloagh Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Wee warning , Edinburgh Cities web page has them playing at Meadow bank but they play at Ainslie Park which is actually easier to get to from Alloa. Will there be segregation or can we wander about as we please? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandstand along one side and standing areas, (not terraced) beside the stand and behind one goal IIRC. Didn't seem to be any restriction about moving about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Alright lads, I recorded a podcast with one-time Alloa Athletic full-back Mick Dunlop. He played during the team's unexpected relegation from the Second Division in 2010/11 and he talks about the miserable second half of the season and how they lost their way and ended up going down. Not a fantastic time to be a Wasp but a good listen all the same! CLICK 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Anybody know the situation with the loan players for the Scottish Cup? We could be a little short depending on their availability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their loans have various lengths stretching throughout January, however, that I'm not particularly aware of. Fairly certain some of them will go back to their clubs and not be seen again, but by that time we might see some new faces to fill in the gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm aware none are cup tied, but parent clubs can obviously request that they don't play in case they are required for cup ties if they go back in January. Hopefully that won't be the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hastie and Zanatta are the likeliest and Flannigan and Brown have both been out on the left and we obviously have a plethora of strikers. Although I'm sure the directors would have mentioned it in passing if there were any such clauses and I've not heard anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not an opt out thing. It would be fairly unusual for a club to grant permission for a player to be cup tied at this stage unless already agreed to be staying for the season. No matter how far out of the picture they are at their parent club, as long as they are in the cup themselves there is a chance of an injury crisis requiring inclusion. Or of the player going elsewhere 2nd half of the season who would want him available for the Cup.

Two seasons ago Raith knew they wouldn't have a keeper and never managed to sign one. I'll be sure to bring my boots to training on Thursday though might make the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
