Nimmo's Notes Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 There's no doubt that this is becoming a strong league. In days before the Lowland League, East and South of Scotland sides would struggle in Scottish Cup ties versus Highland League and Junior clubs. Now the tide has turned, and is still turning in favour of the Lowland League sides, should be an interesting season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things can only get better I'd disagree with you there on the young inexperienced side Newky. I'd argue pretty experienced Kerr Dodds, Wullie Kidd, Chris Gordon, Ryan McKenzie, James McPartkin, John-Ross Kerr all starting. Patience, encouragement and time required.

Aye well 4 o them were slower than me at the back. We were way behind Selkirk yesterday. Look how easy they took their goals and it could've been a lot more. The so called experienced ones arguing among themselves which technically might no be a bad thing? They certainly got plenty encouragement yesterday though unfortunately you aren't allowed time in this league. As i said things can only get better.

Aye you can just give them time but what there isn't in this league (without money) is a quick fix. We had 2 signed players 6 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee stand was full as the front couple rows were nae good to the elements. The young lad we had last season ripped us up for arse paper I did notice there were stantions at equal intervals all around the perimeter fence, a sign their floodlights might no be far away?

I've watched Selkirk twice this season .....Once v Hibs youth in a friendly and the other night in the 10-0 thumping of HRA.......they even scored the final 3 goals having gone down to 10 men through injury! They look a very decent, well organised, well managed and balanced side and have a decent sized squad. If they can last the pace a top 4 placing is not beyond them.

Lets all not get too carried away it's gonnae take some effort to split EK Spartans BSC and the Shire..... Would be tremendous for Borders fitba if they did.

Would be tremendous for Borders fitba if they did. It would. I don't really keep up with LL fitba' but will take more of an interest this season. Selkirk away at CColts tomorrow and I think they play BSC at home on the 19th so that will be a result worth watching out for. Btw, no word of a lie, It crossed my mind to have a bet on Selkirk for this season after the Hibs match it was that good a performance but simply never got around to it. Feel free to remind me at the end of the season if they do well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Two-fifths mark reached yesterday (a few cancelled/postponed games aside plus 2 in 'Matchday X' not come along yet).
