Shanner Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 would have been a good Friday to schedule a few other games. Day before Scottish Cup final so makes sense to try a different slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lovely night to watch some football. 2-1 to Neilston, they bossed it and should have won by more. Highlight of the night was Greenock's number 6 Mooney being sent off for biting Neilston's number 8 Diack on the nose. He was still bleeding an hour later, looked like a stitch or two might be needed. Unprovoked and in other circumstances Mooney could've been talking to the boys in blue tonight. If anyone makes a complaint he still could. Thing that struck me most though was the amount of drinking. I've only rarely seen anyone drink at the football, but this was widespread and blatant, three squads working their way through carry-outs and others partaking of the odd can. By the end it looked less like a football ground and more like T in the Park. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihp Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Got to say that the playing surface was the best I have ever seen it. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have caused an all-out rammy if the referee hadn't got in quick with the red card. lhp's right, that pitch was luscious, as many seem to be these days. I was at Bonnyrigg the other night, you could have played tennis on that pitch, but Neilston's is probably even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig O'Lea Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 3-1 to Neilston. Good to finish the season strongly with just 1 defeat (v Cambuslang) in the last 8 matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Spark Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Downfield 0 Sauchie 1. Sauchie keeper sent off after 50 mins but home side never put replacement keeper under any pressure. Downfield's Jack Neave sent off in last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
