JFK-1 1,677 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Celtic 0-0 Alloa AthleticNo goals in the first half in Glasgow. Alloa have not looked overawed and threatened a little towards the end of the opening period. Celtic have huffed and puffed but the end product has been poor and goalkeeper Craig Gordon was perhaps fortunate to escape a red card. Wonder if there will be any screams of incredulous protest that Gordon didn't walk. Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon races off his line to close down Greig Spence and takes out the Alloa forward. It's a booking for Gordon, it could have been a dismissal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Alloa have parked the bus against them and it's working. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,677 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Alloa have parked the bus against them and it's working. Maybe puts a bit of a different perspective on our overwhelming superiority against Ross County but just couldn't get the ball in the net? And that's even before mentioning that County are full time SPL pros while Alloa are league 1 part timers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) 15 mins to go Alloa get a free kick - Sutton - "It's squeaky bum time" Last night he so wanted the 'underdog' to score. Edited September 21, 2016 by Bearman 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,677 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Good goal by Dembele in the 90th minute to give it a thin veneer of respectability but if that had been us well they're just league 1 part timers. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,282 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I reckon Sutton - if he was commentating - did not stop about the ref blowing this "big decision"? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I reckon Sutton - if he was commentating - did not stop about the ref blowing this "big decision"? He did make a big thing about it at the time, lasted for about 30/60 seconds...I thought it was more to do with his OTT ramblings the night before over the Forrester tackle...he faded back into the game itself and never said another word about it. His position as a 'pundit' on BT Sport is not impartial...he, like most commentators do sway towards the big cup upset and wanted to see wee club QOS score against the Mighty Rangers at Ibrox and make it great viewing in the interests of the 'neutral'...but he let his cover slip during the Goliath vs David match at the midden with cheap toilets tonight where he made it known that his dream side were in trouble for 83 minutes. He has a very very irritable voice for a job in commentary, which is a personal opinion. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Results against Gibraltar and Israeli sides along with Inverness and Alloa shows they aren't a good side at all. The OF match was a one off IMO. Results in OF games over the years have thrown up 5-1s 6-2s etc and doesn't reflect the true differences in the sides. Just realised Aberdeen play Thursday night in their Quarter Final against in form St Johnstone - that can only be a good thing for us on Sunday having 48 hours extra rest. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just realised Aberdeen play Thursday night in their Quarter Final against in form St Johnstone - that can only be a good thing for us on Sunday having 48 hours extra rest. In all honesty watching their game tonight was like watching us against some team parking the bus. They missed a ton of chances before they scored two good goals. Our strikers did the same last night. I agree in any game against them the potential for a blow-out for either side exists. It comes down to who executes and is more clinical on the day. As far as I can see it comes down to how high we can attack them and still cover their break-out. Yesterday was good for our overall team confidence, and we may have suspended a bad influence on the training park and the dressing room. There is not that much difference between the teams. Sunday is big for us though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
