  1. The slope(s) did take me by surprise I'll be honest - must be quite an advantage for the home team I'd say; playing on that every second week you'd get used to the run. I know it is winter, but there really wasn't very much grass on it; very claggy in patches - not blaming anyone; growing good grass at this time of year is very difficult. Elgin's pitch can be "a challenge" at times.
  2. Bearing in mind I've had 4 hours sleep this might not be a true reflection! First - the pitch. Wow, just wow. Moving swiftly along.. the game was pretty even, Bonnyrigg didn't give Elgin a second on the ball and the whole game became a poorly controlled 100mph dash, only broken by silly fouls and waiting for the ball to drop out of the sky through the blinding floodlights. Goalkeeping error for the first; McHale shouted for the cross, came and got it, then dropped it, resulting in a simple finish <sigh>. 2nd was a great hit, but Bonnyrigg should never have got in a position to make the cross. Too many individual errors for Elgin when pressed. I'm now off to pretend I'm working whilst seeing how many coffees I can drink in a day.....
  3. In a massive dose of optimism I'll be heading down to this. Bonnyrigg stats do seem to point towards a draw - but I'll say an away win.
  4. Google maps dug out to enable another ground to be ticked off... ..on a Tuesday? I must be mad!
  5. Nothing from City on their website, or TwitterX as yet, as usual.
  6. No pitch inspection planned? Hmm. I'd be very surprised if that is the case. Temperature dropped pretty quickly here this afternoon. Forecasting -5 overnight and barely rising to zero by mid-day. I will be (pleasantly) surprised if the game is on.
  7. The pitch was pretty damp on the last home game, and won't have dried much since. Been frosty, but not too hard so fingers crossed... although the bit in front of the stand never sees the sun so not overly hopeful. If the game is off at least that'll mean our new management team will be in place for our next game which would be good.
  8. I was truly surprised at how poor Forfar were last night. I always used to fear meeting with you as you were well organised, and fairly skillful. How times change! Even the basics were missing last night - 10 yard passes into the stand, miss-control, lack of ideas going forward.
  9. Has the A9 suddenly shortened again? I thought Sid left last time because of all the travelling/work commitments - common theme huh?
  10. My eyes are still hurting! Dreadful game in my opinion. Elgin deservedly ahead at half time due to us being the slightly less rubbish of the two. Second half starts and we decide to sit back and watch Forfar being truly dreadful in front of us.. real attack v defence stuff. If we'd have had a proper go at them I think we would have got a few more, and to be honest they were never going to score. I'm not sure who was making the calls last night (I suspect nobody) but when two of your midfielders are on a booking, with an "unpredictable" referee, then it might be wise to sub at least one of them... we held off our subs until after Forfar had made all 5 of their's! Maybe the management just don't fancy/trust those we have on the bench. I used to always fear Forfar coming up against them; very surprised last night just how bad they were. Not easy being an Elgin fan just now - but worse, much worse to be a Forfar fan - much respect to those that traveled to watch that dross last night.
  11. One reason that this Conference bollocks has reared its head is that the LL told the B teams they could GTF as, when European matches were on, the Bs fielded greatly weakened teams and got thumped. When no Euro legs on they fielded very strong teams resulting in a totally skewed league depending on what other fixtures were scheduled when you played them. Completely farcical, a situation that won't change with the proposed setup.
  12. A couple of clubs have enquired about Kane but their offers were "nowhere near" what Elgin are looking for. I'd say £50,000 for a proven goal scorer isn't bad these days, if that is what City are looking for. And before anyone jumps on me for that - I agree that it is a crazy sum, but given what other players are going for, Hester at £50k isn't steep.
