We’ve got sprinklers but it has pished it down recently so not sure extra water would have helped the pitch. We will need several players given how important the loan players have been for us. The management duo have been excellent since they came in so every reason to be positive that they can do some good business.

Disappointed to concede the late equaliser as I thought we deserved to win but after the ref had his inevitable moment in the limelight it seemed unlikely that we would get 3 points. A draw and safety from the trapdoor makes it a very good day! All the best to Peterhead for the playoffs.

Elgin City v The Spartans (06/04/2024)

There is absolutely no way that we are safe yet - especially given our horrific goal difference. The wind made it very difficult today but we were well worth a point at least and scored 2 excellent goals so not a disaster. It’s going to be a very nervy end to the season especially given our injuries that just seem to increase each week. -
Tbf it’s pretty hard to have an attacking game if both defences are dominating

Elgin City v Forfar Athletic

Draw was a fair result I thought. Not the greatest game but 2 very well taken goals. Golding was a huge miss for us and we missed his ability to take the ball and keep it in the final third. Results went our way so not a disaster. Nice to see a good crowd - ladies day helps obviously but the performances are undoubtably bringing a few more in. -
Bonnyrigg vs Clyde

This is ridiculous. You don’t think the person who spat at someone in the first place, causing the ensuing reaction is more to blame? This is why these things happen, because there are apologists on the internet absolving horrible actions because they don’t like the inevitable recourse. If you spit at someone expect to get physical retaliation- what you do as a job makes no difference! -
That picture means nothing in isolation- anything could have happened. Not saying it isn’t a foul but you can’t tell from that. The excellent Stranraer FC highlights may shed some light ( if they were recording today!). Great 3 points for Elgin - not safe by any stretch but other teams have a lot more worries than us currently!

Leathering someone who spits at you is a perfectly reasonable response. It should be written in law! Disgusting cowardly behaviour! -
Peterhead v Elgin City (24/02/2024)

A great point for Elgin. Our record at Peterhead is pretty grim so really positive that we came away with something. The bottom half of the league is starting to look very jeopardous, and a run of games without points could be very costly for a few teams. We look in good shape to keep getting a few good results so hopefully we will not be the team that is looking anxiously at 10th place. -
Very decent game. Little disappointed not to take all 3 points but a draw against the team destined to win the title isn’t a bad result. Points are the main requirement but it really is heartening to see us play some good football. It’s quite a fun and optimistic trip to Borough Briggs these days which is a turnaround I barely thought possible so huge credit to the management team and players.

Nah. No time for fans that spend 90 mins calling everyone a c@nt and giving it the big un then pearl clutching when they get something back. No idea what happened but I’d bet that guy has had some abuse given the reports on fans behaviour pre/post game.
