Is Derek Frye at Dalbeattie?

FFS. Sorry to hear that. Hardly seems to be a month goes past without some sort of incident like this.

Poaching a player before a big cup ties could scramble his brains.

Totally agree.

Not until 29th surely ...

It's the Pie and Bovril illness - there is so much negativity, that everyone expects everything written to be negative, such that that it almost becomes impossible to recognise positive comments.

I agree. He allowed a lot more leeway in the aerial challenges than most, but he was consistent which is really all we can ask. I thought the one to one battles between Jamie Darroch & Ross Robertson and Div Barron & Jordan Shelvey were physical and fascinating. They would not have been possible with other refs.

Yes, although my understanding of Sartori's post was that he was comparing it to other grounds that regularly host finals.

We've not had him yet, but Calum Scott's performance at Troon was outrageous.

Callum Scott by any chance?

^^^^Darvel won 1-0

Did Newmains win 2-1?

It didn't always feel comfortable, but we were very good today. Ford dominated the first 25 minutes with Clydebank occasionally dangerous on the break through Little and Shelvey. Bankies then had their best spell and two top class saves from Ally Brown kept the visitor's goal intact. Ford finally scored after intense pressure in the 44th minute thru Ross Robertson. Second half was more even and as said above Bankies hit the bar almost straight from kickoff. Hurlford had lots of chances to extend their lead, but the post, poor finishing, two goal line clearances and a decent goalkeeper thwarted them. Delighted with three points today. More visitors will lose to Clydebank than go home with three points IMO so it's a great result for us and probably our toughest match so far.
