  1. Club Statement - https://www.brechincity.com/bcfc/p/n/2273 The fighting fund remains open to those who are in a position to donate.
  2. International clearance now through for McLaughlin and Watt.
  3. You've failed to score against the worst side you've seen this season on THREE occasions. Interesting.
  4. Fusco was there but it was with regards to his testimonial.
  5. That's the lowest I've felt after a game for quite some time and that includes all of last season. We had ONE effort on goal which was actually a cross which sneaked in at the back post. This is at home, in a local derby, against a side bottom of the league and without a win since we played them back in August. That is completely unacceptable. It is staggering just how defensive we are. On numerous occasions during the game I observed every single City player in our own half. We had five at the back with two defensive players sitting right in front of them. Our supposed attacking players (Tapping, Jackson, Melingui) all far too deep and when they did receive the ball, they had very little in the way of support. Now there is the major factor of compensation should Dods be relieved of his duties - that's obviously got to be taken into account. On the flip side there is an alarming number of loyal supporters who are completely disillusioned and vowing not to return. These are not any run-of-the-mill supporters making a knee jerk reaction, these are are kind of guys who have followed the club through thick and thin. The type of guys that travel to Stranraer mid-winter. I personally can't turn my back on the club regardless of how fed up I am with the current management, but I certainly can't blame those that are a choosing not to go. It really is dire.
  6. I can’t take any credit for the video, that’s entirely the work of our graphic designer Corrie who compliments the media team very well. It is indeed an excellent piece of work and deserves all the exposure it’s been getting. Appreciate the kind words - a lot of work goes on behind the scenes but it’s all for the benefit of the club.
  7. Tapping has been excellent through pre-season and the two competitive games so far. For the first time in his career he’s had a decent injury-free run and long may it continue. He’ll be a huge player for us this season.
  8. Unless Dene has rapidly gone downhill since 2 years ago he will probably be one of our fittest players, so don’t have any concerns about him playing week in week out. We shall see though.
  9. A lot of people reading a bit too much into Dene’s age. Unless he’s gone rapidly downhill in the last year or so since he was last at Brechin he is strong and fit as a fiddle. Looked excellent for us in a struggling side at the time until he picked up an injury. If he can stay fit I think he’ll be a good signing for us.
  10. The opposite of the current away kit. Red and white as opposed to red and black from last season. Thought it was a really poor turnout last night with a lot of regular faces nowhere to be seen - probably not helped by the fact the Supporters Club AGM was going on at the same time through in the Platinum Lounge. Last season was a difficult one to take and in all honesty it’s still hurting but hopefully plenty of City fans snap up season tickets to help with the budget for this season.
  11. Unlike some other clubs we only announce signings once the paperwork is signed. Despite the fact it’s been quiet in terms of signings being confirmed there will be plenty of activity going on with a few close to being completed.
  12. Where does it say you don’t get into friendlies with the season ticket? Friendlies have always been included on it and I don’t see anything to suggest that has changed.
  13. Why? Our season ticket prices will be cheaper than Airdrie, Dumbarton, Raith, Stranraer, East Fife and Arbroath whilst they will probably be on par with Montrose, Forfar and Stenhousemuir. The prices have remained the same but in my opinion the season tickets were hugely underpriced for Championship football last season (although in hindsight we may feel we didn't get our moneys worth!). The season tickets has always allowed you into friendlies for free for as long as I can remember as well. The walk up prices of £15 and £8 are slightly steeper than I'd have expected but unfortunately this is the going rate for League 1 football...at least half of the division will be charging the same if not more with several clubs yet to announce their admission prices. If you have problems with the prices then bring this up at the AGM as they need to be agreed by the members, but I really fail to see why you'd have a problem with the season ticket pricing.
  14. My heart sinks every time I see Trouten on the scoresheet for Rovers. When he's fit he is one of the best part time players around. Unfortunately last season he was plagued with injury and he just didn't get going. He'd have been a huge asset for us in the Championship if he stayed fit, but that would have been a big gamble. Will be interesting to see if he can stay clear of injury, fingers crossed he does. What a player he was for Brechin.
  15. Well the way I see it is that he isn't going to develop sitting on the bench or in the stands at Dens. Id be very surprised if he gets any game time in the premier as he isn't near ready in my opinion. I don't know if he was injured or just out of favour at Dunfermline last season as it looks as if he barely played at all since leaving Brechin in November.
  16. He had agreed terms with Brechin before Dundee came calling, so it's a very interesting move to say the very least. Spence was excellent in his first spell at Brechin but in his loan spell last season he flattered to deceive however he was short of match fitness to start with. For me, a decent player with the potential to be a good Championship player. As for the top league? Not so sure about that but McCann obviously sees something in him. Good luck to him, it is an opportunity he probably won't have expected and one he will have to grab with both hands. I'd be surprised if he was near the matchday squad to start with at Dundee so it would be good if we could maybe get him in on loan.
  17. Renton was absolutely rotten at Brechin although to be fair he was just a youngster at the time. He returned to the Glebe playing for Bonnyrigg in the cup, scored a tap in and proceeded to claim there wasn't much of a gap between juniors and league 1 after they drew 2-2 with us. The following week we horsed them 6-0 down there.
  18. Dougie Hill one of the players leaving Brechin. Reckon Arbroath is his most likely destination.
  19. Never seemed to be any problems with regards to his attitude or professionalism during his loan spell at Brechin last season. Always put in 100% and scored a number of crucial goals in what was a struggling team at the time. Surprised to hear of these problems at Alloa, there's definitely a good player there.
  20. Am I not right in saying Isaac can't play for another SPFL team this season? Already featured for both Alloa and Stirling.
  21. Would have taken Isaac back at Brechin in a heartbeat. He was excellent in what was, at the time, a struggling side destined for relegation. Sounds as if Alloa weren't willing to let him go out on loan to another League 1 side. Either that or the rules have changed and you can no longer loan a player to a team in the same division.
  22. You guys are starting to build a very handy squad, even at this early stage I fancy Alloa to be right up there challenging. Layne, Longworth and Spence are excellent options upfront for this level. Layne was superb for us in a struggling team during his brief loan spell.
