Alloa Athletic v Brechin City

[Diesel]

On BBC ALBA now.

What language are the commentators speaking?

[JohnMac]

Gaelic probably or maybe 'Buckie' (a language all of its own and spoken by anyone after 6 pints of Buckfast Wine).

[ClaretAndJew]

Scottish Gaelic

[Diesel]

Why though, I can't tell what they are saying.

[ClaretAndJew]

Well you're watching it on BBC ALBA... as in, the Scottish Gaelic word for Scotland.

[Buxtonclaret]

Won't be many in Glasgow that understand it either.

[Diesel]

Brechin just scored.

[Diesel]

Penalty Alloa......

[Diesel]

Scored.

The referee looks like he should be in a boy band.

[Diesel]

A guy keeps cutting in speaking in English

[Diesel]

Alloa scored again, game on.

I can understand the commentators now, can't wait to tell everyone I can speak Gaelic.

[Dazzler]

They do the managers and player interviews in English don't they..?
I know quite a few scots and not one of them speak or understand that gobbledigook.

[Diesel]

The fans are singing in English, it must be very confusing for them, no wonder they all have chronic heroin addictions.

[fatboy47]

its just another wanky little sap to a tiny bunch of wooly hatted bean eaters..

[Diesel]

Brechin just made it 2-3 On agg.

Notes

[Diesel]

An overhead kick Scottish style levels the game up.

[Diesel]

Brechin score, that should just about do it, the crowd is only

...as I type Alloa give themselves hope.

[Diesel]

Three minutes of extra time, the crowd are furious because they are all desperate for a drink.

[Diesel]

Must be extra time, i thought Brechin had won on away goals, obviously not.

[tim_noone]

Brechin just made it 2-3 On agg.

Notes

Who won?

[1963Claret]

Brechin on penalties.

[CBT]

Highest level brechin will have ever played so good on em
But having watched the Dundee united game last night their quality will have to improve dramatically to compete next season

[CBT]

Not that the quality was good last night but a hell of a lot better than that show
