Blue Brazil v Dream Team


Recommended Posts

Great to see Ryan Milne handed this game. A great young referee destined for the top and should be more than capable of taking on what could be a feisty match. Took charge of the demolition job away to East Fife last season where he (correctly) sent Walker off in a top performance.

Did Berwick win the league yesterday. Yahoorsur! You bet they did [emoji6] 


Imagine thinking you'd try and make a joke out of getting PUMPED AT HOME TO BERWICK. TWICE. UP YE.

In other news 40% of our wins this season have been at Central Park.

A vital win for us.

In all seriousness, there's a great danger that the 2nd Division is going to look a lot different in few years time unless clubs like ours (and yours) give themselves a good kick up the ar*e. 5 clubs at the bottom and only 2 points in it. East Kilbride, Buckie et al are all vying for entry to this league.

The Big Black Coats in the Boardroom need to wake up to the fact that non League Football can be a very realistic possibility if clubs continue with this complacent attitude of ' it couldn't happen to us', it feckin can

It's not only Berwick Rangers who need to worry about relegation, but most teams in this league and some in the division above. Eventually, things will probably balance themselves out as more teams go up and down and it isn't the black hole it as at the moment. Berwick need to be in a position that they're one of the best run part time clubs so that the foundations are in place progress, or to recover if something goes wrong.

However, all that requires people working together, not individuals thinking they always know best or grudges being held because their ego has been dented some way along the line. It requires everyone standing back and looking at the bigger picture. This isn't what's best for the Supporters Club, the Trust, an individual director or two, but Berwick Rangers and the community it is supposed to serve. If better ideas come along, people should be able to stand back and reassess, not plough on. Then they can work towards a plan for improving everything across the board. Football in Berwick, not just Berwick Rangers is blighted by finger pointing and people all over trying to get one up on each other.

There's been some big steps forward in recent times off the park. The facilities for sponsors is better and more people are paying to sponsor games. The foundation is good. Kids camps in the holidays (not the Dean Gordon shambles). Full time manager improving links through the town. The academy. Improved links with NCC. A huge improvement digitally leading to things like increased merchandise sales. They're all smaller steps, but they're important to people looking in from the outside and they should be built on by everyone working together rather than demands for wholescale revolution at every bump in the road in my opinion.

Of course, the team on the park and improving performance there is the main thing and that comes down to building a club that players want to play for and having the right manager in charge. 'Revolution' won't change that in the short term, and even then, those demanding it should come up with some credible plans going forward to improve everything. Talking about big black coats, drinking clubs and passing the crystal glasses around the board room is just sound bites aimed at further entrenching an 'us and them' mentality, where in reality anyone can get involved in improving things if they want to as I'm sure Yellow Feet and BtU will testify. This isn't 'brainwashing', as a lot of the suggestions fans have brought to the table have become reality. They're screaming out for new people to become involved as opposed to dismissing everyone. It doesn't mean you can't hold people to account.

The 'stadium trust' is an interesting idea and one that should be considered and scrutinised, but unfortunately the starting point for the conversation outside the boardroom has been 'everyone's a c**t' and revolution needed, as opposed to building a positive case from the off. Instantly, heckles are up and it's an 'us v them' battle. That cannot be the way Berwick Rangers progress, if anything is to happen.
