whats happening to the welfare

[HibeeJibee]

At one, point all the potential title challengers looked in deep trouble... Stirling Uni 2-0 down, Gretna losing, I think Lothian led at Vale? (not sure), Whitehill losing to Civil... though, most recovered later-on.

Big win for Coldstream v fellow promotion-chasers Craigroyston... lifts them up into 4th and keeps pace with HW and Preston who both won away to the basement pair.

Any news on what caused the abandonment at Duns?

ww 1 strollers 3

very difficult conditions (wind) pitch survived late inspection (heavy)

soft pen

again nae excuses hungrier team wanted it more.

Well done gary

ww 3 defeats on trot all from ex managers (useless trivial pub quiz question )

something defo not right doon rosewell way

[Hoofhearted]

Spartans 3 Selkirk 1

Two early goals for Spartans and a Red Card for Selkirk meant the result was never in doubt from the 10th minute onward. The second half was a non event with most of the action in the Selkirk half (mostly around the box) with some stuffy defending and sloppy finishing meaning no goals.

You will have to wait for Grim's shaky videos!

Don't see much of the EOS now but looks like the pack are chasing Spartans again,know there's plenty time to go but they've got the points on the board and hope they go on to win it again tho Stirlig Uni and a couple of others may have something to say.

Spartans are still a good shout for the league, imo.

Stirling are up for the chase, so it should be a good battle to the season end, with some other good contenders.

You can never rule out WW...

[wingnut]

Nothing near done and dusted yet Mickles but the talk at the start of the season was they widny be the same side cos they lost Archie,Towners and Kingy but thyeve dug in and still the ones for every one to catch.

exactly to be overtaken they will have to drop points ?

Cannae see them losing many games.

Stirling push them but though they keep getting results they surely cant keep coming from behind in games. How many games is that this season ? Fair play, Must have fantastic team spirit.

Strictly speaking they'd only have to lose away to Stirling for the students to be able to catch them... and only have to lose away to Vale and drop 1pt somewhere else, for the Peeblesshire men to catch them. Although there's far too many games still to be played to talk in these sorts of terms.

It's a shame that , as was the case last year, that only Stirling are up for the challenge with regards to the league. It must be difficult enough to overthrow a great side like Spartans but even harder when the more experienced sides in the league are incapable of mounting any sort of challenge.

Made the short journey across to Duns yesterday got there two minutes before kick off and it was blowing a gale, two minutes after half time still blowing a gale and then the referee decided to call it off. Even though it found 45 minutes it was clear that the game should never have went ahead. Although both teams had done their best to adapt to the climate i thought it was a bit of a silly decision to call the game off as there was no change in the weather so why see out 45 minutes in the first place?. Basically just came on to have a pop at referees i know they have a difficult job blah blah but if they lack common sense they deserve an ear bashing on my hungover Sunday.

funny enough its the same ref that let Easthouses v Gala go ahead a few weeks ago in probably worse conditions and let the game run its 90 mins.

have you watched any premier matches this season ?

Strictly speaking or not the league table doesn't lie.

Vale imo and no disrespect to them wont win all their games in hand and maybes at best scrape a top 4 place.

Stirling as previously mentioned have an excellent chance though cant afford to keep going behind in games.

The rest,well we can all live in hope that you are right with there are far too many points at stake.

I wish i had your optimism though.

Is he not saying that if the game started at all (which he doesn't think it should) it should have at least finished, as the wind didn't get any worse?

Anyway, the Hawick/Preston match report is here: http://www.hawickroy...ails.asp?mid=25 Enjoy!
