Brechin v Spartans. Revenge mission.

I think all Brechin fans have enjoyed this season. We’ve had a complete rebuild from the board down and the future looks brighter. We had worries at the start of the season that we would struggle again due to the total rebuild of a team (again) and it did take time for us to get a good settled team. We’ve enjoyed the experience of visiting new places and meeting new opposition fans. Generally we have been welcomed and there has been a good rapport between fans (unlike some of the less welcoming lower SPFL grounds). Although I look forward to another season in the HL, our aim must be to get back to the higher levels that we had been so accustomed to before our collapse. Let’s see what the next season brings. ”Mon the Hedge”

The last time I remember away fans taking selfies outside The Glebe was when Sevco played their first-ever game there in 2012.

When Tiffony spent a season with us he was subjected to abuse from opposition fans regarding his sex offender naming. I would have thought if any player would have been sympathetic to another who had problems it would have been him. If he has said these despicable comments he, more than any other player, should be ashamed of himself. If he’s said these things he should suffer the consequences. I hope someone is looking after David Cox tonight.

The committee are not doing this in my name. I have followed this club through 65 years and have seen some bad times but this has taken us to our lowest ebb. This is no longer the club I know and is our most embarrassing day.

I waited a while before I wrote something so my thoughts have had time to reflect. I’ve rarely been so disappointed and angry with our whole club after today’s game. This was potentially our biggest game of the season and they lack of ability and effort from our players was pathetic. OK, we’ve had some bad luck, but these guys today couldn’t pass a ball, stick the ball in the goal from good chances and put in the effort in to get us out of this mess. I’ve followed this club for about 65 years and have been through bad times in the 60s, but even there we weren’t in danger of losing our league status. The young guys brought in will go back to their clubs with some real experience and I’m sure it will help them in the future but they’ll soon forget their time at Brechin and won’t really bother about us being out of the league. This has shown that our management structure with local enthusiasts but without forward thinking has had its day. What has happened to the new organisation? Are they holding off to see if we survive in the league? In any case, it’s time for Ferg and his cronies to go - but who will take over. There are so many critics in Brechin but nobody willing to take on the responsibilities. Moira ......... bring me another vodka please

What would be the point in changing the manager at this point? He has a vision of how he wants the team to play and has signed players who he thinks can achieve that. Any new manager would be left with this group of players and may have a different vision. We were all excited by Mark’s plans. Although they haven’t worked out yet, I think we stick with it and hope he can sort out out our defensive problems. We just need a couple of good performances to get confidence back into the team and hopefully we can see again the promise this squad showed in the pre-season games.

Donald Findlay on the BBC podcast said that L2 clubs had been in discussions for a start on October 17 but it depended on the testing requirements. The fallback date for a restart was January.

If that's true, it's a bit hypocritical by the ref since he was arguing with a spectator earlier in the game.

Obviously an expert in sister-shagging from Airdrie.

Just the usual trollers spouting venom at whoever we appointed.

Mark Wilson.

We have some good players. Page and Hill SHOULD be a good central defence and I've been impressed by Reekie in defence as well. A fit McCord should stabilise a midfield and Shagger works tirelessly up front (so far with no support). Hamilton and Knox look potential tricky wingers but have been wasted by long high balls punted up to them. Some of the others are adequate to do ok in League 2 but we have lacked vision and focus, I've followed Brechin for over 60 years and don't think these are the worst players we have ever had in that time. I'm hopeful that a good manager see the best in these guys and organise a system to play to their strengths. All is not yet lost, but I believe the time was right for a change in management.

It's official. He's gone

Pre season training will be a bit quiet for Paddy.
