Le Tout P'ti FC Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Moving on from #RedCardFerryTollGate where do we think Hop 2020 could go?I thought a Glasgow area hop could be very good. A day orbiting around Glasgow culminating at Pollok and a night out in south side. Magic! East Ayrshire is another very obvious hub, with four great grounds in the vicinity of the great City of Cumnock. Imagine the headcount once the Talbot clicker was applied! Muirkirk in the Friday preceded by a wreath laying at Glenbuck. Boom! Another alternative could be the bionic man Highland League crawl. Wick > Fort William > Cove. A mere seven hours of driving and could easily be accomplished if we kicked off in Wick at dawn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the case, shame on them. Their loss was the EoSL win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it runs along that road beside Ballast Bank leading to a dead end at an industrial area where a foot/cyclepath to Dalgety Bay begins. Don't think HJ took it, saw it posted by a groundhop person on twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tout P'ti FC Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 This blog about last weekend is a good read. It seems "the worst referee of all time" didn't do too badly after all, getting both the penalty and retake correct, and not a word of criticism about any of the red cards. Good bit of balance in his writing.He also reminded me of my lasagne pie at Peebles, which was wonderful. Great weekend, which I'm slightly missing today as I await my one solitary game of the day. Although the weather today is minging.https://the66pow.blogspot.com/2019/03/east-of-scotland-football-league.html?m=1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also was close to the foul and I definitely thought it was well outside. As there is no footage of that one, I can't comment on that moment now. What was written on the first red card I agree with, could've been a straight red in the first place as I said before. I still object to the 2nd and 3rd red cards though but that's mostly for the inconsistency. Earlier in the game I heard language which was probably at least as bad, from either side, towards officials and each other that didn't even get punished with a yellow. Had he been consistent in these decisions, I wouldn't complain about it. But it's the inconsistency that annoys me the most. Some other things that were far less influential on the game got me with this referee as well. He was very inconsistent with less far-reaching decisions too imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogisbairns Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Sorry for butting in guys, but have these dates been fixed? I've jumped the gun a bit, and advertised it on European Football Weekends on Facebook. I'd imagine a few of you on here will be familiar with it. Their seems to be a positive response, even before the season has started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see why the dates or times would change (it's the whole point of a fixture list after all), if you go back to page 2 of this thread you'll see last season's groundhop weekend fixtures posted in July last year.
