rhliston Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 This Saturday the Binos make the short journey to Meadowbank Stadium to play City. Not much at stake for both teams, City have made sure they will remain in League 2 after their promotion last year from the Lowland League, well done to them and for ourselves a draw last week at Elgin meant our slim chances of reaching the Playoffs are gone. This game could be one of those end of season affairs where both teams could go thru the motions and end in a draw or will both teams go for it as their is nothing at stake, we shall see on Saturday. Prediction Edinburgh City 2 Albion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB_Bino Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Not really much to get excited about after the disappointment of last weekend. Well done to Edinburgh in securing their place in League 2 for next season, they were written off by many pre-season but they have shown that with a bit of ambition clubs can find a place within the senior leagues and stay up. The adventure continues for them, as it did with Annan, Elgin and others previously (including a couple of Premiership teams). I fully expect that Dave Mackay know who he wants to keep for next season and the players who are surplus to requirements, so I'm more interested in off the field moves rather than this game, however a win and a 5th place finish would be nice.

tamthebam Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 last ever City game at the Concrete Lavvy Pan as we know it.. I think I'll bring a bucket and spade and build a sandcastle in the long jump pit THINKS: no, I hate the f*cking athletics p***ks. I'll just do a "Brian Ross" in the long jump pit instead... ETA: I was at the last ever game on grass at Annfield- Stirling 3 Meadowbank 1: it was my first away trip. 30 years ago around this time of year. It sleeted in the first half so the weather was about the bloody same as it is now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSAFC Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 A meaningless game, both clubs safe, both clubs have no chance of the promotion playoffs. 7-5 to the Albion, Bikey with all 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 nobody will be nicking any corner flags- we don't want to have to use those red and white ones at the new temporary base, that would never do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecfcnorthfield Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Finally a city game I'll be attending where i can actually relax. Would like a win to sign off from meadowbank. Score prediction City 2 (Allan, Walker) Albion 1 (Bikey) Crowd prediction : I'd be disappointed if it was anything under 600 seeing as its the last game there. Hopefully binos bring quite a few over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully binos bring quite a few over We should have an alright support, had we beaten Elgin we'd have taken a big support but the game is pretty meaningless. Even though we can still mathematically make the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhliston Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Not much to shout about in this game looked a 0-0 draw until a City player produced the one bit of skill to win the last game at Meadowbank Stadium in its present form in the dying minutes. Given results elsewhere if we had won we would be going into next week`s Championship decider at Forthbank will a chance of the playoffs but we really did not deserve anything on todays performance. Just hope the players pull out all the stops next week to spoil the Smokies party but on todays performance I think it will be a tough ask.

surely not!

Was that city player not Derek riordan, the third top scorer in Scottish premiership history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMonc Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Was honestly one of the worst games of football I have ever witnessed. 2 games against Clyde and the cup replay against East Fife were significantly worse so I'd count yourself lucky you weren't witness to those. At least Saturday had the excuse of being an end of season dead rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
