Stranraer vs Clyde
Clayhole Blue replied to BullyWeeStonehouse's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Last seen being summoned to see the referee after yesterday’s game. Referee supervisor also in attendance. Supervisor was surrounded by Clyde directors after the game - suspect they were trying to persuade him not to include the guy’s antics in their report. -
Looked around 150 at Civil

East Fife v Stranraer Sat 21/10
Clayhole Blue replied to Beachcomber's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Nice to see the home fans confident of a win - hopefully the game goes ahead and we can upset their day! Looking forward to tomorrow’s game and hoping for continued improvement from us. -
SFA South Region Challenge Cup 23-24
Clayhole Blue replied to GNU_Linux's topic in Domestic Cup Football
No game for us today, so went along to Olivebank to see Musselburgh v Berwick. Strange one in that Musselburgh were the far better team for the vast majority of the 120 minutes, yet Berwick were still in the tie right till the end. Not sure if the Burgh had anyone missing up-front, but had they had a striker who could hit the target this could genuinely have been about 6-0. Great celebration when they finally did score with about 5 minutes left of ET. Decent crowd - maybe about 250, and credit to a sizeable travelling support from Berwick. Good day out at a very trim ground - and a bonus with the nicest pie of the season so far! -
Aggyball Vs Agonyball
Clayhole Blue replied to Loon From Outta Toon's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Haha - love the title! Think we’re all looking forward to this one with trepidation too after last Saturday’s ‘Fun Day’ at Stenny. Been genuinely impressed by us since Aggy came in, but really struggling with injuries just now. No Grant Gallagher, Matty Yates, Kyle Girvan, Dean Hawkshaw, and Cammy Williamson and Ginge McDonald toiling. That apart, we should still have been a lot better at Ochilview. Suspect we may be along the same lines as second half last Saturday. -
We were awful - a team brimfull of individual errors all over the park and players operating out of position. Simply too many players out injured. We went into the international break hoping that the time off would allow one or two of the injured to return. Instead today we actually had more players missing. Thoroughly deserved win for Stenny.

East Fife vs Clyde
Clayhole Blue replied to the_bully_wee's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
East Fife’s announcer malfunctions are hilarious. Last season she left it switched on throughout the game and we were treated to her blethering with somebody! -
Yes, last season’s two visits to Ochilview were a real let-down after our previous impressive form there! Can’t praise our start to the league season too highly and we have looked impressive for at least a spell in every game. Be a bit surprised if Aggy changes anything much from the line-up that started against Peterhead, although if Grant Gallagher is fit he might consider him. Please keep Matty Yates on the bench Stenny - an impressive young player for us, and you looked to have brought him on last season.

The Toon v The Blue Toon
Clayhole Blue replied to Clayhole Blue's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
I wasn’t that sure that it was a penalty, but it clearly was not a dive. We also had a player booked for going down in the box in the first half - referees need some awareness that if an incident isn’t a penalty, it doesn’t automatically mean that the attacking player dived. -
The Toon v The Blue Toon

Watching the highlights - Aaron Reid certainly didn’t dive, so that yellow was wrong. Not convinced it was a penalty, but clearly not a dive. At the other end, Olly McDonald’s penalty claim was for a foul outside the box, but no penalty - but how did Mr Hardie or his assistant not see the foul? -
The Toon v The Blue Toon
Clayhole Blue replied to Clayhole Blue's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Agree it was more comfortable than 2-1 suggests - only a short pass back 7 minutes into injury time gave Peterhead their goal. First half we ran the show, and had Josh Walker scored late in the half it would have been game over, following earlier goals from Tam Orr and Kyle Fleming. Second half we managed it well until that late mistake. Should Peterhead have had a penalty when the big number 22 went down (he was booked for diving), and should we have had a penalty when Olly McDonald looked to have been clipped from behind (Aggy thought so and he was red-carded for advising the referee so)? Second half was mostly game management, but we did it pretty well. Peterhead reminded me a wee bit of us last season - some very decent passing football with nothing on the end of it. A very good win. -
Long trek for Rory McAllister and Peterhead this Saturday as they come to Stair Park. Was a bit surprised by their loss on Saturday, but still think they will provide our toughest test of the season so far. Be surprised if we change our line-up from the eleven that started against Clyde. This season it looks as if we have players on the bench who can come on and change games for us, and who could easily be in the starting eleven. I know not many of us go to Balmoor, but those that do enjoy the day out - many planning to make the trip down?

Loved this description Ivo!!

Stranraer vs Clyde
Clayhole Blue replied to BullyWeeStonehouse's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Craignelder, but you’ll need to book. One of our guys put up a photo of his burger in a place called The Pub last week - it looked like a feast. The Pavilion Bar at Stair Park for a juice before the game. -
Bloo Toon v The Spartans

Stranraer isn’t in Dumfriesshire, but you’re spot-on with the ineptitude of the SFA with regard to refereeing appointments! -
Stranraer vs Clyde

I remember us winning League One at Broadmoor in 1997-98. Clyde were trying to avoid the drop that day. -
Elgin City v Stranraer
Clayhole Blue replied to Clayhole Blue's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
As for Stranraer, I felt we were the better team for most of the game and created a few chances in the first half. After the break, Elgin changed their shape and I thought that we did really well to press them back for a while. Last 10, we brought on subs and just ensured the game stayed at 1-0. Very decent first day result, and a good display from James Dolan. Do Elgin produce a highlights package? -
Elgin City v Stranraer
Clayhole Blue replied to Clayhole Blue's topic in Scottish League 2 General Chatter
Thought Elgin looked a bit like us last season, lots of hustle and bustle, but no threat up front. -
Shortage of match topics on here, so let’s start one! League opening-day sees us getting one of our long days out with a ‘nice’ summery trip to Borough Briggs. Looking forward to this one in the way everybody always gets excited about the first game, I.e., before reality sinks in after a few games. Grounds for a bit of optimism for us after a real grind for the last couple of seasons, but, in spite of everyone’s predictions got a feeling that this will be a toughie on Saturday. Still, it will be sunny eh?

Have never heard of any other club’s fans doing this other than County on one occasion a good few years back. Having done that then they just don’t bother coming now apart from about 14 hardy souls (credit to them) last weekend.
