welshbairn Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) Results can deceive, an excellent performance today by Clach who matched Rothes in every area of the park apart from the annoying scoring goals bit. Onwards and upwards! Beautiful weather too, maybe this global warming thing is getting a bad rep.

Anyone who thinks summer football would be a bad idea for the Highland League is insane. We already play summer football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest pub is the Nip Inn, but you'd be better off somewhere a little further out like Macgregors or the Black Isle Bar (if you can afford it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) If you walk down Academy Street from the train or bus stations, you get to the Foundry on the right and Blackfriars on your left, then the Phoenix on your right and MacGregors on your left. Take your pick, they've changed a lot over Covid so I'm not very up to speed, but the Foundry is definitely good for beer and Macgregors is good for food. If you want more of a football atmosphere the Innes bar is a short walk away, roughly in the direction of the ground. The Nip Inn is good for a quick half time pint. Then try Church Street and Baron Taylor's Street's for post match wreckage. P.S. If you've time, the Castle Tavern has a big beer garden with pretty spectacular views.

Comrie Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Will absolutely take that point! Thought Locos generally shaded the game without causing too much hassle for Clach- the two long range saves aside and Clach dithering at the back was more dangerous than most of what Locos put together. The sending off changed the game (was a clear red, no complaints) and after than it was mostly seige stuff with Clach unable to get out their half. It was absolutely brutal cold as well, was tempted to pop into the Nip Inn but was so cold I just ran home.

Jimmy Shaker Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 A textbook example of why Locos are destined never to win the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspie Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Enjoyed the game and agree with Comrie's summing up there. Last few minutes a bit hairy for Clach but would have been harsh had they lost after again putting so much into the game. MacKinnon could do with improving his kicking but his shot stopping and handling are absolutely superb. I like watching this young Clach team, they put a lot into every game, are well organised, and when they get on the ball they can play some nice stuff. And aye, fucking freezing Edited November 27, 2021 by Waspie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) I don't understand why we never put Anderson and Bunce on together as a front two. As said some valiant defending and classy goalkeeping, but we never looked like making anything happen at the other end till Conor Bunce came on for the last few minutes. He didn't get anywhere and all the action was at the pinball machine at our penalty box, but he's the kind of inventive player who can make something happen out of the nothing. Excellent well fought for point in the bank though. Edited November 27, 2021 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the plan of trying to turn the Locos defence was weird as until Bunce came on nobody had the pace to cause Locos any issues and it was straight back into the Clach half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every second ball was picked up by Locos too, something for them to look at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of Caley Morton or Forres Brechin but I've got stuff at home I should be getting on with. I'm booked up for Fraserburgh next Saturday, weather outlook is optimistic.

I've been going to the odd Clach game since 2009 or so- they are now my local team as I live about 15 minutes from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
