I'll take that.

'Mon the Blues today. It's a toughie, but i'm hoping/straw clutching that sinking to bottom spot will galvanise us.

I do drop into the WoSFL forum now and then, but i'm never quite sure if they all actually hate each other, or just on the wind up.

I live down south and a good mate is an almanac on all things Albion. Gimme a minute........ Edit: He reckons it was Sunday 19th Dec 1979, and he has it listed as a 3-1 win for West Brom 'Reserves'. No Thistle scorer, only Cowdrill and Monaghan (2) for West Brom.

We're a depressed minority, does that count.

Yep. A guy/gal running around the park with a whistle, making decisions as they see it, in the context of the game, is a referee. The same guy/gal sitting in an office with a laptop, mouse, a book of Association Football For Dummies and the Whatsapp message on who to upset this week, becomes a nerd. Tis the way of things.

Yep. However i will always prefer a guess or sheer incompetence from a ref on the park than some nerd in an office controlling the outcome of games with the click of a mouse.

I didn't think that was allowed? Might be wrong though. It really would be a doomsday scenario. Unless we could wangle our way into the WoSFL instead.

Circle the plughole for long enough you get sucked in eventually. As you say, it is inevitable at some point. Only ex-Lg2 club who were maybe unlucky to find themselves down there are Berwick, who had one bad season. Cowden, East Stirling and Albion struggled for years, Brechin imploded as a club (bit like Edinburgh City are now). We haven't imploded, or been in serious trouble, but we've always been in the 'next cab off the rank' group of clubs. With the Pyramid it was inevitable that ambitious, well-funded ex-Junior or LL clubs would catch and overtake smaller, poorer Senior clubs like ourselves.

Looking at that the ref isn't in the best position to make a decision. He probably had no idea where contact was, so guessed, and gave a yellow.

The phrase rhymes with 'clucking bell'.

This is my fear. Berwick, Cowden and East Stirlingshire at least have geography on their side in terms of catchment areas for recruitment, and they've found it hard enough. Its all hypothetic, but dropping out of the Lowland would mean the end of the Reserve side too. Unless we somehow were allowed into the WOSFL.

I hope Aggy's abscence is a one-off, and nothing serious going on.

Well, thats cheered me up.

I hope so. I cant see either of Bonnyrigg, Clyde or ourselves beating EK over two legs (who i expect will win the play-off against Highland Lg champs).

30th March (Bonnyrigg H) and the week after away at Clyde. Ooft. Thats our season right there.

After that amazing Clyde result today we are looking over our shoulders. I hope that sickener last week doesn't spark a poor run or else the bum will start squeaking. Two big home games coming up.
