Cold Feet Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I was not at the Dundee game but saw our team and it would never be a first selection so am not sure what will happen on Tuesday. We look solid at the back, with perhaps a creative midfielder to come in (E Smith might be it?) and any of our attackers to start scoring. Noticed two trialists up front v Dundee - who were they?

Roker Rover Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Big shout out to whoever the bloke was selling season tickets at the Glebe yesterday morning. We were on our way to Montrose for the match v Ross County having been at Airdrie v Partick Thistle on Friday night. We stopped by the ground (and also at Forfar as the two lads I was with have not visited either ground and we had some time to fill). I have seen a game at Forfar and been outside the Glebe before on my way up to Aberdeen but have yet to visit for an actual game. At Brechin one of the turnstiles was open so we wondered in thinking someone would challenge us and then we could ask if it was OK if we took some photos. There was nobody around so we went further in and spent about 10 mins looking around and even got as far as sitting in the dugouts. Finally one solitary bloke came towards us. Far from being annoyed he just asked what we were doing and was extremely friendly and helpful. We told him we were trying to visit all the Scottish grounds and were on our way to Montrose so just fancied a look around. He even offered us a drink before we left, which we politely declined but you should be proud of the way he represented your club. To be fair its no more than we have come to expect on our trips North of the Border, but little things like that stick in your mind and make you think well of a club and its people. Very much looking forward to visiting for an actual match as you are now one of only three Scottish clubs I still have to do. Peterhead and Ayr United being the other two. Best of luck for the season ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt she would be the artist of choice for many hairy bikers and she certainly isnt for us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedeman83 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Wasn't pretty but a win is a win. No idea why Caldwell was picked to start over Jacko he was rotten changed the game when Jacko came on him and trouts together is a great combination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it you missed the one touch stuff in the middle of the first half ? In fact most of our football in the first half was pretty good.....A mix of delicate passing and trying to catch Stirling on the turn with through balls and dinks over the top. Concentration dropped in the second and Stirling capitalised and attacked us on the break. Some good defending kept them at bay though. Ferns deservedly got man of the match for his tireless display in the second half which was chosen by the ( neutral ) match sponsor. A typical Brechin performance though , not quite able to keep the momentum going for the 90 mins. Typical Trouts as well. Fell out of things a bit in the second half but was there when it mattered right at the end. Overall happy but just wish we could finish teams when the chances come along. Quietly optimistic about the season ahead. Miles ahead of what we got this time last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brechin don't know what one touch stuff is.Glad you are optimistic because teams like Alloa,Airdrie,Livingston,Peterhead,Stranraer are looking good even East Fife and Queens Park will probably be a test for us,we must be favourites for relegation.

[emoji4] It's not something I've ever heard, I just remember hearing something about Brechiners stealing shoes when I was younger. For what it's worth, I worked in Brechin for 4 years, and I'm out there every Sunday, and I've never come home without my shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
