DiegoDiego Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I cringe a bit too. Maybe worse is a new amateur team calling themselves Ferrybache. If they play in an actual garden then I'd be all for it. Stuff like the Ferry San Siro is playground-level humour though, the horse of which has been well and truly beaten to death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to remember an ‘Inver Milan’ from a few years back, or maybe it was just a drunken dream. Edited June 17, 2022 by oldbitterandgrumpy Only one ‘o’ in to.

Comrie Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Well beaten the day. Neat passing and playing from the back are great, but pointless if you fall asleep at set pieces. Hope Ross Logan is okay, that was a nasty one he took down the corner flag. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nasty cut near his left ear it looked like, seemed quite alert and chatty so hopefully not too bad. Thought we looked fairly fit for this early in pre season, at least in the first half, and missed a couple of sitters. The manager's been saying we need to strengthen at the back, that was evident today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrybache have been about for a while, were they not the old AJG team? Sure there was a team called Charlstonia or something like that around too. Noticed there’s no Merkinch ammys anymore too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed there’s no Merkinch ammys anymore too After trying and failing to think of better names I've come round to appreciate that Ferrybache is actually genius! It's a shame about Merkinch AFC, a guy I used to work with played with them and they were struggling to raise the membership fees, can't remember if it was Welfare or Amateur and tbh I don't know the difference. I'm pretty well ignorant about the amateur set up round here but I've learnt how many people and hours is takes to keep a team going, forgetting about the players. Inverness and District nearly folded this year because they didn't have enough people to do the boring stuff. I'm not going to slag off blazers as freeloaders only in it for the free sandwiches again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky with the Anderson shot that went over from a few yards out, had pressure on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverness & District alternated between Amateur and Welfare depending on what suited them at the time... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Bunce really should have put it his chance away in the first half, delayed shooting until the keeper was on top of him and scooped it over the bar from inside the 6 yard box 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I wonder if he'll be Clach's new Sean Webb- a decent defender who's basically past it but shouts and organizes a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 I see he's 37, got his A license so he could still be useful if the body isn't up to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
