Thought Sparky was MOM today. He had a tough task marking your young No7, and was booked early doors. He’s well liked by the Elgin support and has just signed an extended contract. On the the game today, I thought Brechin were ok without having a real goal threat. Their goal came from a drop ball where the Elgin players were expecting the ball to be played back to them. Caused a lot of rage on the terraces, but within the new rules. Our keeper pulled off an outstanding save to deny Brechin a equaliser. We went up the other end and Scored the third. Nerve jangling stuff

So using your logic, he’s not good enough for you[emoji106]

Really enjoyed last night. Of course Hibs were always going to be better in every aspect, but we didn’t disgrace ourselves by any means. I was actually impressed that we were still competing towards the end. Great atmosphere in the bar before and afterwards with Hibs and Elgin fans enjoying a drink together.

Get it right up ya

Dislocated shoulder.

Ross Maciver is on trial at Motherwell, but had been training with the squad.

We look like a much more potent squad now. I feared that we may have been heading back to the HL, however, much more positive now.

Shane Sutherland back at Elgin

Shane Sutherland signs on again[emoji106]

Scores 20 goals a season, whether you like him or not.

If his temperament is right, it’s a no brainier to take him back.

Biting now[emoji848]

Goals not a problem when once Shane signs on again

Is he? Seen him play a lot? Bit rough to condemn the boy berfore he’s even played for us.

Apparently the heavy rain earlier this morning washed through sand to expose gravel. Ref was worried for injuries. Surely a rake a re-lay sand would have been fine? Small area no more than 10ft2

Cowden players wanted a brush an shovels, said they could sort it, but ref refused. The pitch is dry and bumpy. But no different to all games so far this pre-season and on. I used to play on tarmac!

Edinburgh will have a decent season on this showing. They dominated long periods of the second half, but lacked a threat up front. Thought No. 10, Handling? Was a standout. As for Elgin, we toughed it out, where in previous seasons we would have buckled. Delighted to get the 3 points, can’t do backs to the wall every week.
