Allardice signs a contract extension.

Seeing as we have no game today, here's our finest ever match report penned by Alternative Maryhill. It's a must read if you have nothing else to do. In fact it's a must read even if you have something else to do. Cast your mind back to the hazy days of the Alamo, February 2011..... Any likeness to living characters are purely coincidental.

We have played the lowest number of games in the league and with the recent challenges with getting matches on will have affected morale and cohesion, throw into that the ongoing Covid situation for players who have to disrupted family lives there will be factors at play. Criticism is the managers prerogative and given his comments in the media recently its fair to assume he considers how public criticisms will be received by the team. Overall its a very tight league and if we can pick up some wins and momentum to get game parity with those around us, there is every chance we will be around the play-offs. Its worth remembering we probably have a budget that's 4th or 5th biggest in the league and right now that's aligned to where we are punching towards ending up. (not maybe where fans or even the club want to be though)

That’s excellent news.

Is it a possibility that he just cant get the best out of the players he's got.

Good news.

F**k me that defence! Proctor, Hogg, Innes and Duff...

I’m a season ticket holder but would be happy to join the initiative if it helps. PPV is £10, so a slight increase on that if it gives virtual access to players through the Man of the Match award etc seems sensible. In terms of tokens to watch the game, season ticket holders already have access, so perhaps their tokens could be donated by the club to encourage young fans in some way.

Great initiative. My boy was an in-person mascot in 2017 and loved it. It inspired him to get more into football and between that and his friend Kyle doing well in the ICT youth setup, he registered with Toronto FC juniors to try and emulate that feeling .... its all gone a bit t*ts up for now with COVID, but he's keen to get back to training once things resume ... and it will all have started at the Caledonian Stadium 🙂 I also wonder if there would be enough interest in doing a group match sponsorship like we did for the player sponsorship. You get 10 viewing passes so it would be £48 per head (inc VAT), but maybe a bit less if some season book holders who were already entitled to view the stream were to join in ... The comments to this thread would likely indicate if this was viable or not 🙂

"Inverness are struggling to break down the Alloa defence but let me tell what doesn't break down and that's the excellent range of coaches operated by D & E! Give them a call after today's ga....goal for Alloa."

It's amazing just how often teams don't press home the numerical advantage. There's 2 aspects here. Firstly, the side reduced to 10 men know they have to up their effort and give 100% if they are going to get anything out of the game. Secondly, the team with the man advantage tend to ease up a little. It may be subconsciously, but it's there. What is needed is a conscious effort not to ease off and perhaps to make even more effort. It is important to constantly close down the opponents and not let them find space. Doing that allows the extra man to tell. This is exactly the reason so many big teams get the scares of their lives in cup competitions. The little teams give everything they've got but the big teams think they just need to turn up. It sounds as Robbo gave the appropriate message at half time but that it was not taken on board. Hopefully the players will now have a better understanding of what is expected of them in these situations. The thing is though, that the team have shown type of determination needed before and been praised for it. Hopefully we'll see better in the weeks to come. We'll need to, or we'll find ourselves in the wrong play-offs.

I get that robbo is annoyed but I think he misses the point! The players have, and not just this season stopped playing for him. They can clearly see his coaching style and kellacher and Wilsons coaching style is ****, and they aren't accepting it any more. Right or wrong I'd say this is why we are where we are, and any bigger club would see that and sack the manager but we won't because we can't afford to so we'll keep rumbling on with the same **** and get worse and worse year on year until we finally end up in league 1 and then dissolve. It needs change now but change costs money I get that

Fair to say playoffs are a pipe dream at this stage...That said, it looks like we'll be qualifying for the playoffs at the other end of the table instead...

From what I've been told, Robbo gave them a bit of a blasting at half time after which they seemed to have lost confidence and started the long ball nonsense. Also told that he and Todorov had a bit of a verbal collision which if true, needs sorted quickly.

Come on. As @Gregor would tell you, these are impressive stats. He’s a top striker.
