Raymond . What are you daein man?

Yup.

All sounds very familiar .

There have been much worse games on the Friday night BBC YTS trainee programme. (that woman interviewing at the end was horrendous) Cove were quite good actually . Solid at the back and efficient on the break. Queens had a lot of the play and might have scored 3 or 4 on another night , but for the last ditch Cove defending .

There are dating sites for this stuff you know.

I don't think anyone would be too happy about it but their statement also basically suggests that they don't have a leg to stand on and it was their administration error .

No , the rules were breached and the appropriate action was taken according to the rules. BOD blamed no one but themselves for their error and accepted their punishment. That is the way football should be.

What were the defenders daein Tam?

We usually stop at the Newmachar Hotel if coming off the AWPR . About 10/15 minutes away from Pitmedden.

Cheers. Good post. It was a great game and we are obviously gutted that the performance didn't get us the win . Those 2 chances that hit the post in the last few minutes of normal time were agonising. The most pleasing thing for me was watching two sides who wanted to play open attacking football which I think possibly explains your HL reference. The 2 games against Stirling this season have certainly been that way. I think both sides were both resigned to penalties in extra time though as not many chances were created in that half hour. And yes we are in a much better place generally as a club . Football wise it couldn't get much worse than the Wilson and Smith years. Hopefully we can go on from here and achieve our ambitions. It won't be easy but I think yesterday showed how far we have come.

I think the chances are being created , just not being put away.

Exactly this. We seemed to miss McHattie's calming influence in the first half.

They claimed it was playable for the play offs despite it being up to your ankles and not lined .

Exactly. The objective of the game on Wednesday was not to lose. We did that , down to every one of Clarke's team playing to his (and Austin McPhee's ) system. Due to illness and injury our strength was always going to be a disciplined defence and midfield. That turned out to be exactly the case. There is little point in anyone comparing our performance on Wednesday against any other game in the last few months as it was a completely different scenario altogether. Clarke and McPhee should be absolutely congratulated for getting the performances required from the new guys in that pressured environment.

Craig was one of the few who actually went out and acted on that dossier . He knew change was needed. I think that was basically the point the OP was making. Most at the time just went through the motions at Largs , got their badges and just continued with the same old tat they were taught 20 years earlier as players. Unfortunately for Brechin , we ended up with quite a few of these types who talk a great game but do f**k all to follow it up. In my opinion Craig is one of football's genuine good guys. Very approachable and honest.

This all looks spookily familiar .........

Barry Wison's pre match video kind of sums up the complacent approach to this game . His preparation on how Brechin play was seemingly based on watching their Scottish cup highlights from last week. This was the type of management which contributed to our catastrophic downfall. Just saying .

You will soon learn ...............when the away committees start outnumbering your hospitality guests . Just saying

How cute. And maybe explains Lossie's position in the Highland league

If I was a Lossie fan , I'd be more concerned that he made more of a fuss about the catering than what was happening on the park .

Ah. Bummer. I thought Dick C might have steered him in our direction seeing as Dick is a self confessed Brechin fan.

Luke Donnelly would be a great signing

Yep . Let that be a lesson to you all about complacency. That trap door is wide open now .

You have to remember we are in the highland league. Edit. Word is Buckie are going to appeal it .

It's all about the fort. Fuckin chancers.
