BFTD Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Didn't have the money for it last season, but I really enjoyed the commentary when we were stuck at home with Covid. Any chance of @LeodhasXD sitting at the back of the stand with a megaphone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked into it before although not seen anything that jumps out at me, something like a hearing loop or a radio that'll just transmit in the ground. Dual bonus of increasing the accessibility for visually impaired fans although it's not ideal as we don't do an awful lot of descriptive commentary style stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking determined I'm getting the money together again for a season book next month BTW. I don't suppose the board have reconsidered student rates? Could be wrong on this, but I seriously doubt the visually-impaired fans would mind listening to flights of fancy about Alloa-related stuff so long as you didn't miss the build-up to any goals! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Home kit = hot. Third kit = not. That's more like club leisurewear for staff to wear on the sidelines, surely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspie Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I'd echo the general consensus about MacIver. A work in progress as a player I think and while he perhaps won't ever be a prolific scorer, certainly needs to work on his finishing. Off the top of my head I can recall a number of really good chances he didn't convert. However, even in the short loan spell and just a few starts his link up play in particular was really impressive. Decent in the air too. You can see why a few clubs at a higher level have taken him on. Hopefully at a lower level and with a manager who seems to really believe in him and with regular starts - something he hasn't really had - he can really kick on. Priorities for me now a commanding keeper, LB who can defend and also get up the flank, another strong CM to give us another option there like Robbo, and bit more pace and crucially goals in attack.

Kevchenko Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Quite pleased we’ve got the home midweek games and away Saturday’s for the league cup. Also got a wedding in Dufftown the day before the Buckie game so that’s worked out well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) Hey lads, sorry to invade your thread, hoping one of you might be able to point me to a decent pub near to the ground, son has a Scottish cup final there tomorrow & I’ll have a couple of hours to kill before kick off. Cheers in advance. Edited May 27, 2022 by Brother Blades 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liammcintosh01 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 With under 2 weeks until pre season I wonder if we will sign anyone else before then. Hopefully we can get a goalkeeper sorted sooner rather than later. Was hoping we might have had a chance at keeping PJ Morrison but he has just signed for Falkirk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping we might have had a chance at keeping PJ Morrison but he has just signed for Falkirk Daily Record reporting (so perhaps not entirely reliable) that George Stanger has signed. I wouldn't have thought another CB was an immediate priority but he seemed to show some promise at Dumbarton, albeit with a mistake or two, and would hopefully improve with a manager who has a good reputation with young players, and proven and experienced defenders around him. I'm sure there will be further additions before pre-season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 George Stanger was a funny one for us. We started playing him at right-back, where he looked bang average and nowhere near as good as Carlo Pignatiello. He was a bit awkward, he wasn't great on the ball and he didn't really look anything other than mediocre. We then decided to slot him in at centre-half, and suddenly he looked like a very, very good player. He's absolutely huge, he's good in the air, he's a good tackler and - above any other factor - he's good on the ball. In our 3-2 defeat against Airdrie towards the end of last season I thought he was the best player on the park, and he looked so comfortable striding out of defence and playing a defence splitting through-ball (for Conner Duthie to then launch into the stand). He had a shocker in the playoff semi-final, and he's still a young player with very little experience. But I would say that he's definitely 'got something about him'. Brian Rice will know him from his Hamilton days and, with the style of football I think Alloa will be looking to play and Andy Graham as a mentor, I think he could be polished into a bit of a diamond. All that being said almost every single player we tried at centre-half last year was someone between below average and dreadful. So it probably wouldn't be hard for a semi-competent player to stand out. Loons fans said something similar about him at RB, so hopefully Brian Rice knows he's signed a centre-half with a fair bit of promise, and not a bang average lower half of the league full-back. Spoiler He's a lovely big guy too; well spoken, handsome and polite. The sort of guy you'd be happy to see your daughter bring home. I think he lives/is from Dunblane as well, so the Recs is nice and local for him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylstheref Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Trouten to East Fife. If fit he should bang a few goals in for them. Quality player for us and although getting on hope he gets back to what we all know he can do. Obviously barring the cup in a few weeks.
