Forfar 0, Alloa 1
ROY of the Rovers could not have scripted it better for Alloa's Willie Irvine.
The prison warden capped his first game since having been taken hostage during a recent prison disturbance with a late winner for the Wasps. He played well, culminating in his headed winner after 87th minute header, which sent the veciforous visiting support delirious.
He showed great vision to coolly head into an empty net after Forfar keeper John Donegan made a mess of a punched clearance when he needlessly came for a high cross. Irvine made no mistake.
Forfar were left to rue a series of missed first-half opportunities.
McAneny had the ball in the net for Alloa in the 29th minute, but it was chalked off for a foul on the Forfar keeper.
The longer the match went on, the more it looked not to be Forfar's night, but they could not believe their luck when Irvine saw a good angle shot rebound off the foot of the post and into Donegans arms. However, Irvine had the last laugh with his late winner.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
