I will wait till after game. I dont want to jinx Alfred

Looks quite attacking but in light of all our injuries visa issues players left probably best side we have. Would love Cooke to get a goal. Am hopeful of seeing a good performance too. Cook Vogt and Tj to be interchanging with Lowry helping the midfield battle their three.

?

Happy with line-up, COYW

This would be a good game for JT to re discover his scoring form.

It’s a wee bit scary! In a good way. I’ve seen the comment several times that we are further ahead at this point of the season than we were with JBA and I think that is a fair statement. if we get another couple of good signings in the door and get a fully fit squad we could be in for another great season. Easier said than done but it would be great if the board could get a two year commitment from AJ

My initial feelings were I was a bit sorry for him as he has been handed a sh1tty stick, an almost impossible job considering we’ve lost our best manager, best players, and our most experienced players are all injured and we have a brand new team. to say he’s surprised me is an understatement, he’s excellent in front of the media, probably better than jens and he seems to have had buy in from the players. Even Longelo was hugging him and laughing on Sunday? I’ve not ever seen Manny smile since he arrived at the club. of course I’m sure we’ll have a few dark days but I like the guy. I was worried that he was going to be a Swedish Cathro but he was a bit about him.

Early impressions of Alfred is all positive for me . Been pleasantly surprised with the start so far

Yep, £8.48. Was £12 last week and I thought I read it was same again but it’s cheaper this week.

The gaffer and Vogt said

Yup, solidsport. Not sure why my price cheaper, maybe I have got a restricted view 🤣🤣

Solidsport? I’m just sitting having my morning coffee then I’ll go purchase mine. £12 for me.

If their whole team were denied visas, would we be awarded a 3-0 win by default? Because I might know someone who works in that department...

Stream bought, works out about £8.50

Gutting to lose arguably or best performers in Williams and Said for tonight. My hope is we hold on to anything really and be at full strength next week for the return leg. rip an arm off for a draw or a narrow defeat to keep it all alive. fkn Astro!!! Shouldn’t be allowed.

Apply now for Germany just in case.

I imagine bigger clubs have the resources to ensure all (or most) possible visa issues are taken care of well in advance. Its probably more common these days because there are a huge number of teams participating in Euro competitions these days, and wide range of countries to visit. Then there are the politics that mean some countries are applying more rigour (to put it politely) to their visa and immigration processes. Brexit didn't help either, although that won't be the issue for Said, but citizens from countries such as Nigeria or India often face more hurdles. Most visa challenges can be resolved, but it's the quick turnaround for football matches that is the problem. If you need to make an appointment with someone to answer questions or discuss the application it can be too late as those can takes weeks or months to arrange. It's also probably more common in recent times because teams have players from around the globe. 30 or 40 years ago most teams had players that were home grown with only a handful at most of overseas players, and most of those players were European.

Not see any 'all the injuries are the managers fault' type comments. 😎

Falkirk have struggled this season. I wouldn't write them off just yet but their only wins have been against Edinburgh City and Stranraer and they have lost to Ayr Utd and St Mirren. On a free week I'd be confident we'd beat them but with extra games and travel, as well as injuries, it makes it a bit harder. Still think we should be getting at least a point out the game although at the moment you are kinda wondering what kind of team we will put out when each game rolls round.

Your "mate" is charging an entrance fee 😘

Also Shkendija coach was refused entry to UK for tonights match against Hibs.

I find it strange that Said was not able to obtain a visa in time for this tie (and also Moses for our tie at Fir Park). Taken on its own it doesn't seem extraordinary. However, I've never heard of this problem before now with footballers taking part in cross border ties. Its never seem to have affected bigger clubs before, or we most certainly would have heard about it. So, either its a new problem, just recently cropped up, or its not, but never been reported by the media before. Apparently visas for entry to Finland can take months.

Tells us about williams knock but casts no light on Said. Hopefully not a bid in

BbC confirmed that Said and williams did not travel, willisms is injured apparently and may miss the Falkirk game as well..

His work permit would have been for the UK, it'll be Faroe now
