-It's Wales v Scotland

-will happen in midfield?

-We knew the Joe Allen

-wouldn't play on Sunday...

-..after he went off.

-He has a muscle strain in his leg.

-No-one can do what Joe Allen does.

-It could be David Edwards

-or Emyr Huws.

-They just have to be professional

-and get those three points.

-Georgia lost one nil against the

-Republic Of Ireland.

-Our expectations are still high.

-We led twice out in Vienna.

-We were happy to get a

-point in the end.

-Home games are crucial.

-The Republic of Ireland, Austria,

-Serbia and ourselves...

-..are fighting for this group.

-Georgia beat Spain in a

-friendly over the summer.

-I would like to see George Williams

-come in. He can keep the ball...

-..at his feet.

-Shaun MacDonald came in

-instead of George Williams.

-Emyr Huws can't really beat players.

-We don't have anyone who

-can keep the ball...

-We need players who can

-make things happen.

-Let's take a look at the table.

-Four teams have four points.

-Jonny Williams is back from injury..

-..but isn't ready for

-first-team football.

-This is a real test of

-character for the squad.

-I think we have got enough to win.

-We have some good

-players on the park.

-George Williams and Jonny Williams

-are missing after going to France.

-Players can come in and

-make an impression.

-The stadium will be bouncing...

-..and the players will

-expect to win.

-The dressing room has a strong,

-determined personality...

-..at the moment.

-Gareth Bale has been

-taking throw-ins!

-We will discuss that later.

-There was a ceremony to open

-this pitch earlier on.

-I'm joined by Dylan Morgan

-and Gareth Thomas.

-It's an historic day for the club.

-Opening this pitch

-means a lot to the club...

-..but also to the town

-and the community.

-This pitch can Be Used By Everyone.

-I've even be asked to have a game.

-It's very important to the

-local community.

-It's all about having a Partnership

-With The local community.

-It's a very important day.

-Today will be the first time that

-Bala beats a Scottish side!

-You work for the local council.

-How important is this occasion?

-There is a big investment in

-this area at the moment.

-10 million has been spent

-on education.

-We want the community to

-use these resources.

-We have some sporting and

-artistic facilities.

-The children from the school can use

-this pitch throughout the day.

-They can play sport in any weather.

-It's a fantastic resource

-for the local area.

-I'm happy with the partnership

-between the FAW...

-..the local council

-and the local club.

-Thank you for your time.

-I hope Dilwyn has the right

-idea of the result.

-This is a great facility.

-What will this mean to

-Colin Caton's team?

-They will have to change

-their style of play.

-You have to try to keep the ball on

-the ground on these pitches.

-The old Maes Tegid pitch was

-very Sluggish In Winter.

-All the teams playing here

-will want to play football.

-Bala Need To Make This

-into a fortress.

-You must have played on

-pitches like this in Scotland.

-I ended my career with Falkirk...

-..who had an artificial pitch.

-It means the whole community...

-..can use the club.

-I hope Bala Town are

-successful On This surface.

-This is the Irn-Bru Cup match

-between Bala and Alloa Athletic.

-We'll have more build-up

-after this short break.

-Welcome back to Maes Tegid.

-This is the fourth round of the

-Irn-Bru Scottish Challenge Cup.

-Today's live match on S4C

-is Bala Town versus Alloa Athletic.

-Wrexham are playing at the moment.

-They are taking on

-Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park.

-The current score is

-Tranmere 0-0 Wrexham.

-Let's head over to Malcolm Allen

-who is with one of the managers.

-It's absolutely fantastic.

-When we first started here...

-..it was a lot of local lads...

-..who were just playing in a

-local league around Wrexham.

-A lot of council grounds

-would not open...

-..until half an hour

-before kick-off.

-The buzz about it and also the

-Irn-Bru Cup as well.

-The image of the club has

-gone worldwide.

-It's going to Sweden, Estonia

-and Luxembourg.

-From being playing just in the

-Wrexham area to worldwide...

-..is fantastic.

-This is a first for me.

-Interviewing a manager that knows

-he's leaving after this game.

-You have been appointed

-manager of St Mirren.

-What's it going to be

-like for you today?

-I've been asked that

-a lot this week.

-For me, I have a routine with the

-players that we prepare for games.

-Not a lot has changed

-from that respect.

-I've been preparing the team

-as well as possible this week.

-Training has been no different.

-My preparations for today have been

-no different until we arrived...

-..and had problems getting

-into the ground.

-It's been a normal week for me.

-will be a different feel around.

-I've had a really enjoyable spell

-here for just under a year.

-I would love to finish it

-on a positive note.

-What do you know about

-the Bala team?

-A real mix of players who have

-played in English league football...

-..young players

-with academy experience...

-..and others who have established

-careers in the Welsh league.

-I know they've had successful

-domestic seasons recently...

-..as well as European experience.

-It's a difficult match and I think

-it will be a good game.

-From what I've seen of Bala

-and my own team this season...

-..I'm looking forward to it.

-We set out to try and

-win every game.

-We've done quite a lot

-of work on Alloa.

-It might go down to fine

-lines on the day.

-Good luck.

-Malcolm is Very Confident.

-Let's speak with Andy Legg,

-who is part of the Red Button team.

-Before Gareth Bale was the

-long throw king...

-..that role was done by Andy Legg.

-I think I'm quicker than him!

-It Is Paying Dividends

-and hard to defend.

-It Happens At all levels.

-What do you make of this new

-competition?

-I think it's very nice...

-..and good to test ourselves

-against other leagues.

-It'll be interesting to see how

-the teams get on today.

-Managers have been in The Headlines.

-Cardiff, Newport and Swansea

-have new managers.

-I think the jury is out

-with Swansea.

-He doesn't really know the league.

-Only time will tell if that's

-the right decision.

-Huw Jenkins usually gets it right.

-I think Cardiff have got

-It Right With Neil Warnock.

-He is a great acquisition.

-Cardiff can look forwards

-to this season.

-Graham Westley is similar

-to Warnock at Newport.

-He will get the best out

-Of His players.

-Not many are sure about

-Bob Bradley at Swansea.

-He is a good speaker.

-I was impressed by him

-speaking yesterday.

-We will only know at the end

-of the season. If...

-If the team improves

-through the season...

-..then he will be the right manager.

-He might try to bring in

-new players in January.

-Jack Ross is in charge of Alloa

-for the last time today.

-I Think it's very difficult

-for the players.

-I think he's leaving to

-go to St Mirren.

-Alloa have started the

-season really well.

-They haven't Won In Their Last

-five games, however.

-Knowing the manager is leaving...

-..can upset the club.

-It's unsettling as a player.

-We have to ask you about

-Bangor City.

-Owain Tudur Jones is a

-former Bangor player.

-I'm quite happy myself.

-We are ahead of schedule.

-We have some good

-players at the club.

-It's about getting Them to gel

-and getting Them Fit.

-It's a surprisingly good start for

-us and I hope we can stay up there.

-Thanks For Your Time and he'll be

-on the red button later.

-First half action of Bala versus

-Alloa follows after the break.

-We've even got kilts here!

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to Maes Tegid.

-It's the fourth round of the Irn-Bru

-Scottish Challenge Cup.

-Alloa Athletic are in Wales

-to take on Bala Town.

-This competition has been revamped.

-It now has two Welsh and

-Northern Irish participants.

-Owain Tudur Jones has played in

-Wales and in Scotland.

-We don't really know what

-to expect of Alloa.

-It's something different

-for the fans.

-This is a very different thing...

-..even though Welsh teams

-play in Europe.

-I expect a good match.

-I Hope Bala Town can win the match.

-We've always wondered...

-..how well Welsh clubs would do

-against other leagues.

-We are going to find out

-this afternoon.

-If you're watching in Scotland,

-welcome to Sgorio.

-For English commentary with Mark and

-Andy, press your red buttons now.

-We are still a little bit

-upset about Joe Jordan!

-It's time for us to join

-Malcolm Allen and Bryn Tomos.

-It's an honour to be here

-this afternoon.

-It's the first time a Welsh club...

-..has played in the

-Irn-Bru Scottish Challenge Cup.

-It's live on Sgorio on this

-brand-new 4G pitch.

-Alex Lynch and Ryan Edwards and

-Thompson are out of the side.

-Ryan Valentine and Stuart Jones

-come into the defence.

-It's a very strong team

-from Colin Caton.

-The midfield looks very strong...

-..and they will try to keep

-hold of possession.

-Chris Venables is such an

-important player...

-..who raises his game for

-the big matches.

-Kieran Smith and Ian Sheridan will

-run down those flanks...

-..to feed the goalscoring

-machine, Lee Hunt.

-Jack Ross keeps the same

-Side That Lost The last game.

-Jim Goodwin of the Republic of

-Ireland is suspended.

-Greig Spence will be a real

-threat to the Bala defence.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick will be

-behind the front two.

-I think we have plenty of

-goals in this game.

-Steven Taylor is the referee...

-..and he's from Northern Ireland.

-He has sent off three players

-in his last four games.

-He has shown 19 cards in

-his four matches.

-Bala Town have the worst

-disciplinary record...

-..in the Welsh Premier this season.

-What a day for this town.

-There are as many Alloa fans

-as there are from Bala.

-The fans are wearing the

-orange and black shirts.

-They are nicknamed The Wasps.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick...

-..was player of the month in the

-Scottish first division last month.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick always offers

-himself as an option.

-Mark Jones or Nathan Burke

-must mark him well.

-They must not give him space.

-Alloa are used to playing on

-this kind of service.

-You would expect Alloa to have the

-most of the possession.

-Chris Venables had three players

-surrounding him immediately.

-They were like wasps

-swarming all over him.

-That was good play from Mark Jones.

-He uses his experience.

-He knew he wasn't going

-to win the Ball.

-The ball was towards Sheridan.

-Bala must not allow themselves to

-give Alloa too much respect.

-Bala gave the ball away down

-the right hand side.

-Neil Parry is a real

-giant in the goal.

-I think our own Nic Parry...

-..would only be a

-goalkeeper on the pitch!

-We haven't seen much of

-Greig Spence upfront.

-He has scored 10 goals in all

-competitions this season.

-Kevin Cawley was fouled by

-Anthony Stephens.

-Greig Spence has a superb

-goalscoring record.

-He isn't very big but he's clever.

-The free kick was taken

-by Calum Waters.

-It was headed out but only as

-far as Graeme Holmes.

-The ball is out for a goal

-kick to Bala Town.

-There are the fans who've made the

-long journey from Alloa.

-I wonder if they sang that song 300

-miles from Bala on their way down!

-You asked Jack Ross...

-..a few questions before the game.

-This is his last game in charge.

-As a player, if you know your

-manager is going...

-..it gives you a bit of an excuse.

-Alloa look a professional

-outfit so far in this match.

-They haven't yet announced who will

-be Jack Ross's replacement.

-Jack Ross isn't too

-happy about that.

-It's not the perfect position.

-They were relegated last season.

-Greig Spence wasn't too

-far away from that.

-It was a superb first

-touch from to Taggart.

-That ball just invited the

-striker to score.

-We are so used to seeing Sheridan

-run down the right hand side.

-Ben Gordon is on loan

-from St Mirren.

-The ball is out for an

-Alloa goal kick.

-Bala's players must keep to

-the system they play.

-They have to keep

-communicating with each other.

-The Bala players must create those

-partnerships on the pitch.

-Iain Flannigan stole the

-ball in midfield.

-That looked like half a

-chance for Kevin Cawley.

-The Bala defence is under

-pressure early in this match.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick tried

-to get his shot away.

-That was good work from

-Kevin Cawley.

-Greig Spence once again...

-..wasn't too far away

-from that chance.

-It wasn't the best of

-efforts from Kevin Cawley.

-Greig Spence almost anticipated

-that shot-cum-cross.

-They look used to playing on

-these kind of pitches.

-They are used to punching these

-balls into each other.

-Ayr United beat Falkirk last night.

-TNS play Forfar at three o'clock.

-Queen of the South play

-Linfield tomorrow.

-Bala and TNS have come into this

-competition in the fourth round.

-Bala just can't get

-possession at the moment.

-It's comfortable possession

-for the visitors.

-Greig Spence has finished off a

-great move for Alloa.

-This goal was definitely coming.

-Their top scorer,

-Greig Spence, has scored.

-This is the story of the

-season for Bala Town.

-Once Kirkpatrick

-runs from the Bala midfield...

-..the Bala defenders are anonymous.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick got the shot away

-..but it fell for their goal

-machine, Greig Spence.

-He will not score many easier

-ones than that this season.

-That's his 11th goal of the season.

-He was in the right place

-at the right time.

-Kevin Cawley and Jordan Kirkpatrick

-created the goal.

-Greig Spence is such an

-instinctive goalscorer.

-As a striker, you always

-want to be on the move.

-He was on the tips of his

-toes ready to pounce.

-He reacted quicker than any

-of the other players.

-Both Stuart Joneses are playing for

-Bala Town this afternoon.

-Nathan Burke and Mark Jones Have

-To Do more in midfield.

-They have to try and stop

-Alloa From dominating in midfield.

-I'm not sure if Lee Hunt

-is fully fit.

-He seems to be stretching his

-leg every now and again.

-I hope this is just a fallow

-period for Bala in this match.

-They need to try and

-stay in this game.

-Alloa

-are certainly showing...

-..why they are favourites

-to win this game.

-They are technically very good.

-Every player seemed happy

-to accept a Pass.

-Let's see what

-Owain Tudur Jones thinks.

-It's been a very difficult opening

-for the Bala town players.

-They are struggling to cope with the

-movement of the Alloa forwards.

-Bala Town aren't playing at the top

-of the game at the moment.

-Owain Tudur Jones has had

-a knock about...

-..With A Few Of The younger fans

-here this afternoon.

-You have to watch the options being

-presented By the Alloa players...

-for each other.

-They are giving the home team a

-lesson in possession football.

-Kieran Smith may need to move

-more Into Midfield...

-..to help the other players.

-Robertson stole the ball back

-for Alloa Athletic.

-Alloa Athletic really enjoy playing

-little passing triangles in...

-..midfield.

-Greig Spence was most

-awake to that chance.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick set it up.

-I do not think there is that big a

-gap between these two sides.

-Anthony Stephens is playing in the

-left back position this afternoon.

-Alloa Athletic are very comfortable

-with possession of the ball.

-They look to have time to

-make decisions.

-Lee Hunt does very well there.

-Lee Hunt needs to be in the middle.

-The back header almost caused some

-problems for Alloa Athletic.

-Jason Marr cleared the ball. This is

-more promising for the home side.

-Chris Venables is being

-marked by Scott Taggart.

-This has been a better period of

-play for Bala Town.

-We saw Gareth Bale throwing the

-ball in long into the box...

-Ian Sheridan did well there.

-The offside flag has gone up.

-That was a dangerous

-path by Kieran Smith.

-Greig Spence was on his

-way too early.

-He could have beaten the

-offside trap there.

-Iain Flannigan has had a

-great start to this game.

-He started out on the right...

-..but has Come More And More Into

-The middle of the pitch.

-That was a good cross by

-Anthony Stephens.

-It was also a good

-clearance by Ben Gordon.

-Chris Venables won the header.

-Lee Hunt had not read the

-opportunity.

-We're not sure how fit Lee Hunt is.

-He hasn't played many

-games this season.

-Lee Hunt needs to play 10 to 15

-games to become fully match fit.

-He is getting On a bit.

-Bala Town need him to get into the

-box where he is a threat.

-Scott Taggart has been an

-additional forward...

-..for the first 20 minutes.

-That was a good clearance by Jones.

-Jason Marr and Ben Gordon are

-very solid in defence.

-Kevin Cawley almost found the back

-of the net with a deft little touch.

-He set up Graeme Holmes

-for the shot.

-That was a lovely bit of play

-from Jordan Kirkpatrick.

-Anthony Stephens was caught

-in two minds there.

-I'm not sure whether it's a chip to

-the far corner or a cross.

-Lee Hunt was the only

-man in the box.

-Ian Sheridan should have

-been breaking his neck...

-..to get in at the far post.

-Alloa Athletic are being

-allowed far too much space...

-..to enjoy possession of the ball.

-They were leading the Scottish

-League One division last week.

-They stumbled against Airdrie.

-Livingston are their big

-rivals in that division.

-Ian Sheridan tried to find

-Chris Venables.

-Bala Town seem to be developing

-a bit of confidence.

-Chris Venables was harried all the

-way back into his own half.

-Two years ago Alloa Athletic

-were in the final...

-..of this competition.

-They actually beat Rangers in the

-semi-final that season.

-They have been to the final

-three times in all.

-This is a good rehearsal for

-playing against TNS.

-They also dominate possession.

-That was some controlled play from

-Stuart Jones at the back.

-Kieran Smith didn't take

-advantage of it.

-Bala Town are chasing

-shadows at the moment.

-I think they need to decide to go to

-man-to-man marking for a little bit.

-Steven Taylor has given a free kick

-right on the edge of the box.

-It was a foul by Ryan Valentine.

-That's quite a soft free kick.

-Iain Flannigan is

-lining this one up.

-I'm not sure he has the

-ability to score from here.

-The free kick is a bit too

-close to the goal.

-He will struggle to get it

-up and down in time.

-That was the problem.

-It might have been a better

-option to fake the shot.

-Alloa Athletic have only won one of

-their last five fixtures.

-They had been going very Well Until

-This Latest spell of poor form.

-Bala Town are one game away

-from being halfway...

-..to the mid-season separation.

-They have not had the best of

-starts to the season.

-A lot of new players have come

-into this team recently.

-It hasn't exactly clicked yet.

-They are 17 points behind

-The New Saints at the moment.

-They finished last season only seven

-points behind the league champions.

-Ian Sheridan had his

-pocket picked there.

-That was a disappointing play

-from Anthony Stephens.

-He needs to concentrate

-This is only the third game played

-on this brand-new surface.

-Calum Waters couldn't

-quite get to that pass.

-Alloa Athletic Are giving us

-a masterclass...

-..in running off the ball.

-Bala Town are still in

-the game however.

-We have had 30 minutes of This Game.

-Rob Pearson was in the middle of the

-Bala Town team last season.

-He was the glue that held

-it all together.

-He was the archetypal water

-carrier like Didier Deschamps.

-Jon Robertson is that kind of

-player for Alloa Athletic.

-Nathan Burke and Kieran Smith don't

-quite have that mind set...

-..for Bala Town.

-The trouble with that is the

-Alloa Athletic players...

-..have time on the ball.

-You want that player who breaks up

-the opponents passing play.

-This is a nice move from Bala Town.

-Ryan Valentine gave it to the

-opposition goalkeeper.

-He claimed the ball unopposed.

-The two players called Stuart Jones

-in the Bala defence...

-..managed to overcome

-Greig Spence there.

-TNS will kick off in Forfar at 3 PM.

-Greig Spence will be very

-disappointed there.

-Ashley Morris did well to

-stay on his feet.

-He made it difficult for

-Greig Spence.

-He could have ploughed into the

-striker and given away a penalty.

-I think my microphone has broken?

-No it hasn't Malcolm.

-I think we'd hear you anyway.

-Stuart J Jones was

-penalised for climbing.

-The referee was in a good position.

-Stuart Jones was jumping

-a bit early.

-That is what he should

-have been doing.

-He just needs to work on

-his technique.

-We haven't seen much of

-Nathan Burke as yet.

-If you are passing backwards you

-have to have some idea in mind.

-Lee Hunt is being marked

-quite efficiently.

-That's Another Disappointing cross.

-Stuart J Jones was in the

-Llanelli team...

-..the last time a Welsh team

-took on Scottish opponents.

-They played against Motherwell.

-Andy Legg was part of the

-Llanelli set up at that time.

-He has done very well since

-taking over at Bangor City.

-It's Good To See him back in the

-Welsh Premier League setup.

-He is sure that his team will

-compete for a top four position.

-Stuart Jones tried to blast that

-ball up to Lee Hunt.

-This was a beautiful

-little back-heel.

-It's as if he has an eye in

-the back of his head.

-You can see that Alloa Athletic

-are used to playing...

-..on this kind of pitch.

-They are very comfortable

-here at Maes Tegid.

-They have been a threat both on the

-flanks and down the middle.

-We will have extra time and

-penalties this afternoon...

-..if Bala Town manage to equalise.

-Kieran Smith has been penalised.

-I didn't think he did

-much wrong there.

-There was a little lunge perhaps.

-Kieran Smith isn't a

-terrible player.

-Tranmere Rovers have taken the

-lead against Wrexham.

-The Wrexham goalkeeper has deflected

-the ball into his own net.

-Some of the newspapers...

-..said that they produced their

-second best performance...

-..of the season last week.

-If that's the case the Wrexham

-fans should be very worried.

-They had three shots on goal in 90

-minutes against Lincoln midweek.

-I do not want Gary Mills

-to be sacked.

-However if he has lost the

-confidence of the dressing room...

-..it is inevitable

-Colin Caton will be happy that his

-side have won a free kick.

-Colin Caton will tell his team that

-they are still in this game.

-He has to think of a way of

-getting Bala Town...

-..to create some chances.

-Chris Venables and Lee Hunt have

-hardly been in the game at all.

-Alloa really deserve to be

-leading...

-..by more than the single goal.

-Kevin Cawley went for the long-range

-effort. That was the Wrong Option.

-He was trying to curl the ball with

-the outside of his right foot.

-Ashley Morris was dicing with

-the 18 yard box there.

-Bala Town shoved it down the

-other end of the pitch...

-..as quickly as possible.

-This is Iain Flannigan.

-It's a second goal for

-Alloa Athletic.

-It took a defection.

-You can forgive Ashley Morris

-to some extent.

-You knew that Jon Robertson...

-..was preparing to curl it

-towards the top corner.

-The deflection took it past

-the goalkeeper.

-Jon Robertson will be

-given the goal.

-Bala Town have taken two sucker

-blows in this half.

-I want to see these Bala Town

-players lifting their game...

-..and taking on their counterparts.

-You can't just accept that your

-opponent is better than you.

-You have to knuckle down and

-Stuart Jones feeds Ryan Valentine.

-Kieran Smith wanted too

-much time in the box.

-Will Colin Caton make any

-changes for the second half?

-He Has Nothing To Lose.

-Trailing by two goals is

-very difficult.

-The game is over if they

-concede a third.

-I played against players who were

-much more talented than I was.

-However you can work

-just as Hard As them.

-You can be in their faces and

-make it difficult for them.

-I made sure that they

-earned their victory.

-That was a wonderful

-strike by Greig Spence.

-He Hit it first time.

-He deserves a little luck that it

-bounced off the upright.

-That is Greig Spence's 12th

-goal of the season.

-There Is the half-time whistle.

-It looks very black for

-the players in black.

-Greig Spence has scored

-two goals this half.

-Jon Robertson grabbed The other

-one. Let's join Nicky John.

-They've punished Us and

-taken every chance.

-We've given them too much respect.

-It was a

-Bad Time To Concede Those Two Goals.

-There is Never A Good Time to

-concede goals.

-We haven't had much help

-off the Officials.

-We are going to make some

-changes for the second half.

-We need to be a lot better than

-we've done in that half.

-The Alloa Athletic fans are

-celebrating.

-It'll be a long second half.

-Subtitles

-Alloa dominated the early period

-of the game...

-..and it was inevitable

-that Greig Spence would score.

-He's opened the scoring

-after 10 minutes.

-Jon Robertson scored with a

-deflected shot after 43 minutes.

-Spence added a third

-just before the break.

-Welcome back to Sgorio from

-Maes Tegid.

-The half-time score

-is Bala Town 0-3 Alloa Athletic.

-We didn't know what to expect.

-You Did warn that they

-were a good side.

-There are players of high

-standard up in Scotland.

-Alloa Athletic may not be a

-fully professional side...

-..but they have fully

-professional players.

-It's been a great

-performance by Alloa.

-I think is a mixture of Alloa

-were playing well...

-..and Bala playing badly.

-The Bala Town players are struggling

-to pick up their opponents.

-Let's take a look at the goals.

-We warned about Greig Spence.

-He is a ruthless striker.

-It was a good run by

-Jordan Kirkpatrick.

-Greig Spence was in the right

-place at the right time.

-Neither one of the players called

-Stuart Jones could stop him.

-Bala Town seemed to settle into the

-game but they didn't threaten.

-They then conceded two late goals.

-It's hard to Argue With

-the scoreline.

-The Deflection Took that one

-away from Ashley Morris.

-I think he would have

-Saved It Otherwise.

-Bala Town will be disappointed

-they did not close him down.

-There was time for a third

-goal before the break.

-Greig Spence finished this

-move superbly.

-He took It First Time And Didn't

-Give The Goalkeeper The Chance.

-It was conceded right on the

-half-time Whistle.

-They will be disappointed with that.

-It's Going To be a very tough task

-for Bala Town From Here.

-I do not know what the Bala Town

-players were expecting.

-I'm sure they were respectful

-of their opponents.

-They may have been surprised

-by the quality on show.

-S4C has highlights of Wales versus

-Georgia at 10.30pm on Sunday.

-Joe Allen is definitely

-out of that game.

-Wrexham are losing at Tranmere.

-The goalkeeper scored an own goal.

-Welcome back to Maes Tegid.

-This is the fourth round of the

-Irn-Bru Scottish Challenge Cup.

-The half-time score

-is Bala Town 0-3 Alloa Athletic.

-TNS are also in this competition.

-They kick-off at Forfar

-at three o'clock.

-Nicky is with Jack Ross.

-You made that look easy.

-It's indicative of how we've

-played this season.

-We had a great start to the season

-before going through a sticky patch.

-We've been terrific today right

-from the first whistle.

-Will you change your

-approach in the second half?

-The players are enjoying it...

-..and they will look to

-continue in the same way.

-We found yourself in this position..

-..on a few occasions this season.

-The challenge is to keep the

-focus and concentration.

-It's your last game in

-charge before you move on.

-You'll be signing a few of these

-players up, won't you?!

-I think they have got great

-personality and ability.

-There is a really good group...

-..and whoever takes his job

-on is onto a winner.

-For English commentary with Mark and

-Andy, press your red buttons now.

-It's time for us to join

-Malcolm Allen and Bryn Tomos.

-Greig Spence scored two

-goals in the first half.

-Jon Robertson scored the other one.

-Bala Town have made one change.

-Mark Jones has been

-replaced by Ryan Wade.

-Only one change from Colin Caton.

-I wouldn't have been shocked if he

-had taken one or two others off.

-He has Michael Hayes and

-Ryan Edwards on the bench.

-I Would not Like To get an

-ear-bashing from Colin Caton.

-He glanced at us when he

-crossed the pitch.

-That was a half to forget.

-You're always positive

-going into a match.

-Alloa Athletic have kicked

-off the second half.

-Neil Parry had nothing to

-do in the first half.

-The Alloa goalkeeper...

-..will not have had such an easy

-half of football...

-..for a long time.

-Bala have to close the Alloa

-players down quickly.

-Chris Venables might play a little

-bit closer to Lee Hunt.

-Confirmation that Ryan Wade

-is on the pitch.

-Conall Murtagh is a real

-loss for them.

-He is such a dependable player.

-Colin Caton's players let him

-down a bit in the first half.

-They will look to win

-the second half.

-They will try to get something

-positive out of the match.

-The team line-ups are on your

-screens at the moment.

-They include two Stuart Joneses

-in the Bala team.

-Kevin Cawley won

-possession on the left.

-The shot was by Kevin Cawley

-but it was straight at the keeper.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick

-and Kevin Cawley...

-..are combining very

-efficiently for Alloa.

-They are on the same wavelength.

-Tranmere Rovers have doubled

-their lead against Wrexham.

-Gary Mills's position

-looks very bleak.

-Wrexham are amongst the

-lowest scorers...

-..in the National League

-this season.

-Gary Mills has only three players...

-..remaining from last season.

-It's a completely new squad for him.

-Ian Sheridan did well to keep

-possession under pressure.

-I think you have got

-plenty of options...

-..for your man of the match

-in the Alloa side.

-Greig Spence scored twice

-in the first half.

-Jon Robertson scored the other

-one for Alloa Athletic.

-The Alloa players know

-the game is won.

-Jack Ross told Nicky that his

-players are having fun.

-I would want to score more goals.

-They will want to show how strong

-Scottish football is at the moment.

-Wrexham have lost at Prenton Park.

-Neil Parry will take the

-free kick for Alloa.

-Nic Parry could've played in goal

-for Alloa this afternoon!

-Alloa won the ball back in midfield.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick went for

-the spectacular shot.

-He actually hit his own

-player with the ball.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick came

-inside his man...

-..and had plenty of room

-to get the shot away.

-That was a spectacular

-effort by Greig Spence.

-It looked like it would get

-under The crossbar.

-I love watching positive

-strikers like Greig Spence.

-He wasn't under any pressure

-so why not have a go.

-He's looking for his

-hat-trick of course.

-Jack Ross said that a few

-of these players...

-..could play at a higher level.

-I put money on some of these players

-..moving to St Mirren in the

-transfer window.

-Calum Waters got his cross

-away but Bala cleared.

-Bala only have the option of

-long, hopeful balls.

-That wasn't a foul by Smith.

-However, the referee had

-a good look at it.

-It's taken 52 minutes for Kieran

-Smith to put in a decent tackle!

-Ryan Wade couldn't quite get

-his foot on the ball.

-He did well to regain possession.

-I think Ryan Wade has made

-a difference.

-That was poor from Kieran Smith.

-This is a tough lesson

-for Bala to take.

-Greig Spence passed over to

-Jordan Kirkpatrick.

-That was easy for Ashley Morris

-at the near post.

-The Alloa players all want the ball.

-What will do this to the confidence

-of the Bala players?

-Will they be a bit

-downhearted after this match?

-I don't think losing this match...

-..will be that much of a problem.

-Ryan Wade turned his man well.

-We know what Ryan Wade can do. He

-loves taking players on.

-He nutmegged the defender

-and won a corner.

-The header was from

-Anthony Stephens.

-He couldn't direct the

-header goalwards.

-Alloa have a range of

-different players.

-They have some giants at the back...

-..but also some quick,

-short players.

-Chris Venables hasn't

-given the ball away.

-However, he hasn't influenced

-the game at all.

-He has scored four goals

-this season.

-Chris Venables hasn't really made

-an impression on me today.

-Stuart J Jones and Ashley Morris...

-..were also in the Llanelli team

-that played Motherwell.

-Andy Legg was the

-manager at the time.

-Graeme Holmes and Jon Robertson have

-commanded the midfield today.

-Nathan Burke was fouled

-and wins a free kick.

-Steven Taylor hasn't shown

-any cards this afternoon.

-He is usually quite free

-with the bookings.

-I think he's had a good game.

-There hasn't really been many

-tackles in this game.

-Bala Town haven't got

-close enough to Alloa.

-Ashley Morris cleared the ball.

-Alloa Athletic won the ball

-back immediately.

-That was almost lovely play between

-Calum Waters and Kevin Cawley.

-Stuart Jones read the ball well.

-Alloa Athletic are so full

-of movement.

-It was a slack pass from

-Graeme Holmes.

-We've hardly mentioned

-Lee Hunt this afternoon.

-He's fed on crumbs but

-hasn't done anything.

-When you're having a bad game, you

-need to roll up your sleeves.

-You have to work hard, run hard and

-try to make something happen.

-That was a good move from Bala Town.

-It's a penalty to Bala Town.

-Chris Venables was brought down.

-Mr Taylor had no doubts whatsoever.

-Chris Venables got in

-front of Scott Taggart.

-He dragged him down unceremoniously.

-They have to score from this.

-It will lift their spirits.

-Lee Hunt has taken the penalty.

-He stroked the ball in.

-I'd only just said how poor a

-game he was having.

-Bala strike back and there are

-only two goals in it.

-The next five or 10 minutes are

-crucial for Bala Town.

-Lee Hunt kept his head and sent

-the keeper the wrong way.

-That will fill Lee Hunt

-with confidence.

-Lee Hunt took his time

-taking the penalty.

-He dispatched it with aplomb.

-There's more of a threat from

-Bala since Wade came on.

-That was a lovely back-heel

-from Graeme Holmes.

-Owain Tudur Jones is pitch side.

-I was just going to say that the

-second-half performance...

-..was a professional one

-by the visitors.

-They might have taken their

-foot off the gas a little.

-Bala have a glimmer of hope.

-Neil Parry had no chance

-with that penalty.

-He went the wrong way.

-It's natural to take your foot

-off the gas a little...

-..when you're bossing the match.

-If Bala score again...

-..we'll see if Alloa get nervous.

-Ryan Wade with the long cross.

-Ian Sheridan tried to lift the ball

-into the box but he messed it up.

-He should have headed

-it across the box.

-Ian Sheridan's left foot

-isn't good enough.

-Ryan Wade has made a difference

-since coming on.

-Graeme Holmes is the Alloa captain.

-He has led by example from midfield.

-This is the Fourth Round of the

-Irn-Bru Scottish Challenge Cup.

-Colin Caton is in thoughtful mood.

-He will have wanted his side

-to win the second half.

-You don't always get what you

-deserve on a football pitch.

-The Alloa players don't seem to have

-so much room in this second half.

-Bala are closing them down

-quicker in the second period.

-The Bala players are

-closer to each other now.

-They are hunting in packs.

-Chris Venables went down but

-there was no foul.

-Iain Flannigan has the freedom to

-roam from wing to wing.

-Iain Flannigan was forced back

-but he got his pass away.

-That was superb by Greig Spence

-and Kevin Cawley.

-Kevin Cawley is called

-the mighty atom.

-It's a goal worth seeing again.

-Jon Robertson had so much

-room in midfield.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick knew

-exactly where he was.

-He made it look ever so

-easy. That was a

-That was a superb goal.

-I think Kevin Cawley

-really deserved that goal.

-I really like this lad, Kirkpatrick.

-Kirkpatrick and Kevin Cawley are

-on the same wavelength.

-Kevin Cawley is leaving the pitch.

-Jack Ross is leaving a

-successful side.

-They are towards the top

-of their division.

-He is leaving to join a team at

-the bottom of their league.

-St Mirren are in a higher league

-and have a bigger budget.

-Jack Ross hasn't even been at

-this club for a year.

-Alloa had a great start to

-the season...

-..and were top for a while.

-I think Jack Ross has a

-solid philosophy.

-He knows what he's doing.

-The shot by Calum Waters was

-curling away from the goal.

-Scott Taggart and Calum Waters

-are the two wingbacks.

-He really should have hit

-the target.

-This is the fourth round of the

-Irn-Bru Scottish challenge cup.

-It looks like Alloa are going to

-progress to the last eight.

-All four goals have been

-clinical finishes.

-Owain Tudur Jones is pitch side.

-I think that penalty really

-fired up Alloa Athletic.

-It gave them the boost they

-needed to score more goals.

-Bala haven't been able to

-deal with their movement.

-They have also been very

-organised defensively.

-Chris Venables made the

-goalkeeper work.

-Stuart J Jones and Stuart Jones

-were up for the corner.

-Lee Hunt's header was a tame one.

-He jumped early but he was

-under pressure.

-He couldn't get above the

-ball to head it down.

-It looks like Dave Thompson is

-going to come on for Bala Town.

-It looks like he will

-replace Ian Sheridan.

-Luke Donnelly is the substitute

-for Alloa Athletic.

-Stuart Jones was under

-pressure from Greig Spence.

-Scott Taggart conceded the throw-in.

-Jack Ross seems to be very

-comfortable with his players.

-It looks like the players have

-wanted to give him...

-..a good parting gift.

-They will also want to try and

-impress anyone who's coming in.

-Lee Hunt was fouled by Ben Gordon.

-There is the substitution

-for Bala Town.

-Ian Sheridan is replaced

-by David Thompson.

-David Thompson is a

-player with pace.

-Ryan Valentine and Anthony Stephens

-were over the ball.

-Anthony Stephens crossed the

-ball and it's a goal!

-The goal has been allowed.

-Stuart J Jones has scored a

-second for Bala Town.

-Alloa Athletic look a bit

-shaky in the air.

-Stuart J Jones did well to keep the

-ball down into the corner.

-The crowd has been lifted

-here at Maes Tegid.

-They might not win it but it

-looks a bit more respectable.

-It only takes a second to

-score a goal...

-..and we have around 20

-minutes remaining.

-David Thompson scored the took the

-long Gareth Bale type throw-in.

-A little bit disorganised

-at the back.

-We don't really want Gareth Bale to

-take all those long throws, do we?

-I think he wants to take them

-and be on the end of them!

-We have highlights of The Wales

-versus Georgia match...

-..tomorrow evening at 10:30.

-You feel that Alloa Athletic

-have another gear.

-I promise you, they will not

-want to concede another.

-It would be great for us.

-We'd then see how they'd deal

-with that pressure.

-Bala Town are winning the second

-half at the moment.

-They are still losing by two goals.

-Fifteen minutes left of the game.

-Ryan Valentine was Down the

-right-hand side.

-Kieran Smith crossed into

-the box. Chris...

-Venables must score!

-He had a completely free

-header in the box.

-He usually scores much more

-difficult chances than that.

-He has to head it into the corner.

-Stuart J Jones was up

-from the corner.

-Alloa Athletic just can't deal with

-those high balls into the box.

-You have to have a striker in

-front of the goalkeeper.

-The momentum Is Certainly

-With Colin Caton's side.

-There is certainly some

-nervousness in this game.

-That was a foul on Nathan Burke.

-Chris Venables should have

-scored from that header.

-This is a chance to make a

-substitution.

-Ryan Wade has made a difference.

-He has rolled up his sleeves.

-Ryan Edwards is replacing

-Ryan Valentine.

-Kieran Smith will move to

-the right hand side.

-Ryan Edwards can run at

-players and beat them.

-The referee comes from

-Northern Ireland.

-TNS will start their campaign in

-this competition in 25 minutes.

-Wrexham have lost to Tranmere

-at Prenton Park.

-That's more pressure on their

-manager Gary Mills.

-Bala Town are showing less respect

-to the Alloa team in this half.

-That was an excellent

-interception by Stuart J Jones.

-Greig Spence was on his way to

-scoring a hat-trick.

-Stuart J Jones had to

-get to the ball.

-Calum Waters will take

-this corner kick.

-He is a former Celtic player.

-Greig Spence couldn't take

-advantage of the space he had.

-That was good defensive play by

-Luke Donnelly, the substitute.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick had the

-confidence to shoot from distance.

-The Alloa manager looks pleased

-with his team's performance.

-This will be his last

-game in charge.

-This victory would take

-Alloa Athletic...

-..into the last eight of the

-competition.

-We have fewer than 10 minutes

-left on Maes Tegid.

-That was a nice turn by Lee Hunt.

-It was a disappointing pass.

-That was good defensive work

-by Stuart Jones.

-That's excellent play by

-Chris Venables.

-Bala Town's first touch is

-letting them down here.

-Iain Flannigan went on a mazy run.

-His shot was blocked.

-Lee Hunt lost control of the ball.

-Lee Hunt is lucky to have

-got that free kick.

-Graeme Holmes is amazed at

-that decision.

-Ben Gordon has been

-complaining too vociferously.

-Jordan Fitzpatrick will be

-replaced by Jamie Longworth.

-Jordan Kirkpatrick has been

-excellent in this game.
