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. You must be priveliged .

brechincity Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Good start to the season. Played some neat stuff in spells but faded away in the 2nd half. Still can't see what Caldwell offers in the games he's played... Saturday should be a good game, gutted I'm missing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that is still used these days . I heard it was used by Montrose folk because they were embarrassed that their washing wasn't as white as the Brechiners'. Brechin had the bleaching greens at the Inch and that gave them very white whites! (End of history lesson). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldRed Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Surprisingly nobody has added the second half of the saying which is "Haud yer noses here come the Montrosies" . Presumably a reference to the smelly Montrose basin at that time and used when the train from Montrose pulled in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Feet Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 In the first half we looked solid and tidy going forward. However the formation requires the fullbacks to be constantly pushing on and clearly they tired and reset to their default of sitting deep, inviting Stirling onto us a bit and leaving midfield light - thought we might have gone 4-4-2. And yes we did revert to a bit of hoofing However as has been said I do not know how Ross got a start - his movement is limited and he does not work hard enough out of possession. I would imagine with Montgomerie gone Dods will be looking to strengthen in both midfield and attack. I also noticed how much Finn Graham nipped at everyone (team mates) as did Love and Smith was having a ball screaming at anyone in a red shirt - at least we know we have some leaders on the park (or fighters, depending on your view). Early days and sure two or three more players to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underpar Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nice cheeky Tuesday night out at the fitba. Take any win thats what i say and move on. Dont want to be to critical and i've willed him to 1. Win headers 2. When he gets a first touch to get a second. 3 . Score a goal. Honestly i have but i'm not getting why Cauldwell should be picked before Jackson . I've seen Ross in about 4 of the five games i've attended so far and cant see it. Jackson came on last night and won most of the headers he went for and as has been said on here prev Trouten plays better with Jackson on the field . We were a better side when Jackson was introduced for Cauldwell. Anyway i had a steak pie from the shop last night and it was fantastic.....

citydiehard Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 A 4 1 defeat to a team in a lower division is unacceptable, wasn't at the game but probably no positives out of the game.On the plus side Jim Weir will be laughing his socks off at Brechin,I for one is happy for him well played Elgin.If results don't improve Mr Dods watch out !!
