And, when you return, I owe you a pie!

Sorry we didn't meet your expectations but, we'll take the victory nonetheless. I am sure you will be impressed by the number of young lads we are bringing on and, as I explained , we had far from a full strength side out so, not a bad outcome all things considered. Good to see you today and hope we have the pleasure of you and your brother's company before the season end.

Are u thick ? Read my post again , i said the game could have went anyway against a good lanark side , and no it wasnt just the ref , but the game changed on your 2nd pen that only the ref saw in the whole ground , well apart from u funny that eh , we hit the bar too and your keeper had 2 tremendous saves or do u have a selective memory too ? OK. If you want to be pedantic, read my earlier posts again and see what I said about our second penalty.

You have a poor memory then. We hit the bar in the first half and your keeper had two excellent saves early in the second half. Poorest losers we have come across all season.

I'm embarrassed for you. So, the ref is the only reason you lost?

Really?! Think your are just hurting mate that you got deservedly beaten by a lower division team. Funny how it is always the refs fault!

Added time?

Sounds like the game was a cracker It was - had a bit of everything. Delighted.

You were correct - Lanark did win on penalties, all of them in the 90 minutes. 3 cracking penalties they were too by Lewis Hill. Keeper never got a sniff of them. Ironic given our penalty record this season.

Sour grapes in the extreme. Your centre half could easily have seen red for his first yellow and he booted our guy up in the air for his 2nd. Your guys barely said anything for the straight red - it was a stonewaller. Our first pen was soft, as was your penalty. Our 2nd, I genuinely couldn't say from where I was and the third was a definite penalty. I thought we deserved our victory - interesting you make no comment about us competing so well against you despite the two divisions between us.

The biggest shock would be if Lanark went through on penalties. Although we scored one last Saturday, I think we have now missed 10 this season!

Convert! Hope all well.

Whenever I look at my plan B my first consideration is always, is it on grass?

Saltcoats winning 0-3 at Newmains was a surprise scoreline.

Lanark 5 Thorniewood 2 Three points AND we scored a penalty. 3-0 up at half time, they get a man sent off just after the hour mark and then promptly concede 2 quick goals. Fortunately got our finger out after that and went 4-2 soon thereafter, the 5th coming in injury time. No Hallford, McCrum or Hill today and our best player this season, Cammy Lawson off injured after 5 mins. Thankfully Shug Kerr and PJ O'Donnell back. Results have again favoured us and The Gow as the gap gets bigger.
