HMFC-1874 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sounds like he could be a good signing for us? We need competition for places. His experience could be a real asset, but I'm not sure how it will work with him having to travel that kind of distance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinnae get too excited - nice fella, but "soapy" didna really inspire much confidence at County. Always 2nd choice behind Bullock who (strangely) he followed to Dens. Best of luck to him tho. Whats his "day-job" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect, but there is a big difference in quality of the Highland League to the Scottish First Division. This is one hell of a signing for Fortmarine and the only reason Soutar was second choice at County was because Bully was in the form of his life and is regularly hailed as one of County's best ever keepers.

I seem to remember him playing a blinder during a particular game for Dundee (against who, I cant remember) when both Douglas and Bullock were out injured? and Soapy getting a lot of plaudits from the Dens faithful. Was there a reason, other than Dundee having a keeper overload, that he couldnt hold down a regular start? Dont get me wrong BTW, the guy is a total professional and well done to Formartine. TBH County would struggle in the HFL at the moment!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC-1874 Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Julien Brellier is playing amateur fitba in France. 'Le Juge' would be a sensation for Formartine. Mon Athol you know it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Is it Formartine that has the "robo groundsman"? The guy with a hook for a hand that attaches onto the Pitchfork which makes it look like an extension of his body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy with a hook for a hand that attaches onto the Pitchfork which makes it look like an extension of his body He was there before they got into the league but he wasn't about when Lossie were through last season, an absence which earned me pelters for getting everyones hopes up only for them to be dashed.

HMFC-1874 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Formartine had a wee feature on tonights 'Beyond the SPL' programme on Radio Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC-1874 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Looks like game on at Wick today. Should be a tough game. We are still missing key players due to suspensions, so I'm not expecting great things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are folks views on the prospects for the weather, the game etc .. any thoughts ? I think that the chances of this going ahead are pretty good. Are you travelling from far? Might be an idea to check with http://www.ngrfoundation.co.uk before leaving. Our pitch is quite heavy just now and won't be able to take much rain.They are a pretty friendly bunch at North Lodge. If you want some company a few of us use the Eddie Edmund stand. In any case, enjoy the game. I can recommend the steak pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game was off would hope to go to one of the junior games in the area as back-up. Will check out the steak pies for sure !! Thanks for the info.

satnav Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Bobby Mann teaming up with 'Pele' again. What a signing! Bobby will stroll this league and I wouldn,t bet against Pele lifting the title next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC-1874 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Here's a list of Formartine's current pre season signings Bobby Mann Neil McVitie Stuart Smith Colin Robertson Ross Bremner Stuart Soane Ross Campbell Michael McGinlay Great things are expected from Pele's squad with one bookie installing Formartine as 2nd favourites for the league. Although I would expect us to do much better than last season I doubt that we will do as well as that. It's one thing to buy decent players, but that does not guarantee that the team of individuals will gel. Besides there are quite a few decent sides in what is a competitive league. On their day any side is capable of taking points off anyone else. I'm looking forward to the new season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
