Southside Bankie

1) I have no problem with the Ben Nevis run taking precedence. It is not a "fun run" but a long standing prestigious athletic event. 2) Given the 50/50 chance of a home draw though FW should have had at least one alternative option available 3) I would not consider the two other alternatives proposed as "reasonable" either for the Club or fans 4) If we had been drawn against Golspie away then not a problem, however we were not. We were drawn against FW away with an expectation of a couple of hours travel 5) I was initially sympathetic to FW as small clubs are regularly having to overcome problems not confronted by the larger teams (particularly if they do not owntheir park) however there seems, at minimum, to be a lack of goodwill on behalf of FW by identifying Golspie as a venue- over four hours travellling. Surely there should be some onus on them to identify a suitable park that would avoid such an increase in travelling time for the Bankies. By identifying Golspie they appear to be trying to create an advantage for themselves when they are at least partly culpable through their own lack of proactive planning to deal with this possibility. 6) I would imagine that a fair number of the FW players are based in Inverness ( A few seasons ago they had a number on Inverness players on loan) so Golspie will suit them down to the ground Does tend to leave a bad taste in the mouth!

Heard the comments from the other side of the park. Appalling. Unfortunately not an isolated occurrence today. Saw that the lad still needed assistance to leave the ground and clearly a significant injury. I'm sure however that he will be consoled that the remarks were "tongue in cheek". Jesus Christ!

I think comments were unanimously of the view that it was a deserved win for Talbot. We did stop short of nominating them for BBC Personality Team of the Year and Tucker for inclusion in the New Years Honours list so maybe that makes us sore losers

They had. Just that word hadn’t reached Auchinleck [emoji4]
