lichtgilphead Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Aye, good luck to Stranraer at Partick. Same tactics, I assume? Served you well today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayhole Blue Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Aye, good luck to Stranraer at Partick. Same tactics, I assume? Served you well today!Worked a treat, but against a lesser team like them we might just go all-out attack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say that Stranraer made up their budget at the start of last season thinking they would get a money spinning tie in the cup is revisionist pish. Good if unexpected result yesterday, rubbish draw though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghBlue Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 We made that mistake , of relying on cup moneyTBH, never felt the story was credible. We would have won an extra £6k if we’d beaten Brora, and a 10-15% chance of a money-spinning draw. The year-on-year reduction in income was much greater. Unless we had budgeted for a semifinal or even final appearance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say that Stranraer made up their budget at the start of last season thinking they would get a money spinning tie in the cup is revisionist pish. Good if unexpected result yesterday, rubbish draw though. Clynelish used to occupy the distillery that is now shut before they built a new one next door. The original turned into Brora distillery from what I've been told and then shut. Diagio is planning to reopen it so there will soon be 2 distilleries in Brora. Not much else mind.Fortunately I couldn't be at the match yesterday but from the highlights we played well but didn't score. Those days happen sometimes. Thought Denholms miss wasn't as bad as was being made out as I'm not sure he was fully set for the rebound after the original save. Still a bad one though. Plenty of other chances a begging but back to the league next week with only one focus left for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
