  1. The pitch actually looked better this time than our previous visit, the addition of some green stuff on top of the mud hid the fact that underneath must have had some corrugated sheeting blown off a roof somewhere. Add in a howling gale and any idea of playing football was a non starter. We had to adapt our play but for the Rose it was carry on as usual, have to admit their goals were well taken. We kept working away and deserved the draw but think everybody had been glad to get on the bus and head up the road. Stewart McKenzies kicking in general was ok but at least nothing came of him picking up his own goalkick resulting in a freekick in our own box

    A friend who is close to the set up at Peterhead told me they were rubbish. Mcallister has chucked it (on the bench) and the team just not firing...so we concede two pens and give away at set pieces......the training diaries showing high tempo passing and running - all good with no-one clumping you to get the ball. Also all good on that surface.....Peterhead not stupid  - they knew we are shite on grass and heavy going at that - pitch massively watered pre game.

    I think we sometimes forget we are playing teams that want the points rather than thinking they deserve the points.

    Lose next week and I think thats it.

    Is that the same Rory McAllistar who at 37 is being used sensably when needed ( today with Shanks being carded in the 1st half & 2 goals up rather than chance a silly sending off send on a tried & trusted striker who despite his age and alledgelly having chucked ran the Clyde defence ragged in the 2nd half. As for giving the surface a spray of water before games you may have noticed even top clubs that own thier own ground tend to do this nowadays even plastic pitches get this done to them maybe need to tell the owners  at NDP your team dont like it wet.

  3. Thought at times today we knocked the ball about really well.. Lost concentraion at our own freekick which led to Clyde scoring which led to a wee 15min spell of nervy play from us. Was expecting a bigger following from Clyde with form picking up and the battle to stay in the league. We are getting more options now with players returning hopefully we can build momentum at the right time.

  4. We have played ok in spells for a while now but too many draws. This type of games have let us down this season with us probably gropping more points to teams at the lower end of the table than any others. Yes a number of these teams have improved in the 2nd half of the season but we really need to build momentum for the play-offs with a winning run.

    Whilst most people dislike us, surely an airdrie win is required for Scottish football

    Unfortunately those in charge seem detrermined to have this cup either go to another country or a B-Team to justify giving them spots that should go to either LL or HFl clubs

  6. As has been the case far too often this season a couple more points dropped, although according to the BBC stats East Fife had 1 shot on target over the game and scored. We really need to start closing games out. Was sitting behind the away dugout so least had Dicks antics to entertain us.

    Never change a winning formula. I’d go with the same starting XI from last week barring any injuries or suspensions I don’t know about.

    Will be a tough one, though. 
    I’ll never attend a football match in my life again if Rob Jones scores the winner for Elgin.

    Came on as sub against us on Saturday looks some player 🤪 Golding stood out for Elgin.

    Skelly runs about more, scores very little.

    Rusty runs about very little, scores more.

    Pretty sure I know which I prefer, especially at the moment. Especially when you consider the fee paid for one of them.

    We know better than most how frustrating Rusty can be you know there is a decent player in there just depends which side of the bed he got out of that morning 😜
