Partick are the weakest team in the league they have the least points..... 

That's the problem with the average points though isn't it, the table isn't a totally fair and accurate gauge of strength after 27 or 28 games in the same way as it is after 36.

Regardless, my own opinion is that Partick have better players and a better manager than Queens, and while they weren't doing much on the park to prove that, I think they'd have picked up points in the remaining games. Your lot looked like a disorganised, dispirited, confidence shorn rabble badly lacking in inspiration, and I firmly believe you would have finished 10th had the season continued as scheduled. We'll never find out now, even if it did start again in the summer it would be a different scenario.

Yes because part time footballers telling their wives and families that Summer holidays are a thing of the past wont cause any problems.

As it stands we have one month where we don't play competitive football. You are suggesting four. This might be an issue.

I thought weetoonlad's absolute car crash "nil and void" arguments on the coronavirus thread was peak idiocy, but seems he's going to go for another record.

I would suggest that with April being a year away thats a fairly large hurdle.Any ideas for what to do in the meantime.

No got a clue bud but I don't think we will see football in Scotland till sept time

[whereismillar]

more and more convinced this season won't be played to a finish .

So the season has finished and we shall be a championship team agsin when season 20/21 begins.

First of all very well done to the management and the team, fantastic effort and result. Some of the play and results were top quality, maybe the best I have seen an alloa team perform.

Now comes the planning for next season.

Peter has plenty of time to get ready, so who do we work hard to keep for another season and who do we try and entice to the indodrill?

It's been a difficult season for us. With bad  injuries to key players. Am usure when we will k/o. Next Season imo Aug Sept time we need to scrap that silly cup pre season and start with championship games. Am unsure what players  Peter will keep or bring in. I think there will be 100"s off players out the game in the summer. 

Safe safe stay at home. Follow the NHS guidelines

yes i agree , would like to get Deas permanent , not likely though,  would have liked to have seen more of scott banks , maybe back on loan again ? O'hara will most likely be off, but he was a bit cool at the latter end maybe he will sign on again ? ,i would retain hopefully the rest of the squad , Adam brown looks to be the player he promised to be , robert thomson i am not so sure about , buchs may move on , every other player is a stick on , PG has made good signings , so quite optomistic especially now he has settled  in I think we were 3 points better off than last season at the point we stopped .

Can anyone cast their eye on this and say if it is real or a fake?

On the one hand, why would anyone go to the bother of faking an Alloa shirt?  On the other a few of the other items they are selling has gotten my Spidey senses tingling and they are based in Ukraine.

He's had 1 negative feedback out of 3034 in the past year. If it's fake, I don't think he knows it. And, as you say, where's the market for counterfeit shirts for part-time Scottish football clubs?

If it turns out to be a fake, you can always claim your money back from PayPal. Speaking as someone who's had to refund buyers on expensive designer gear that turned out to be tat

Looks genuine to me and when I clicked on it ebay tells me I have bought from this seller before Suspect it would be OK.

I'm just incredibly tight when it comes to spending money.

I offered them £20 and it was accepted within a minute so we'll see how it goes.

I looked back and I bought a top from them in 2017. It arrived no bother. 

I'm still not taking any responsibility if you never see the top
