Fort William 2021-22 Thread

Got to feel for young Jake Williamson in the Clach goal. First season as a keeper & has been doing superbly well, including doing everything right last night other than that one horrible moment. Always the case that 'keepers & defenders will get slaughtered for what will often be a costly error when they make one, whereas midfielders that give the ball away multiple times in a game & strikers that can't hit the target get far less sh*t directed at them. Hope the manager sticks by him for the next game & doesn't bin him off the back of the one mistake that he made. All for one & one for all should afterall be the team ethos!

I was there.  Thought Fort actually played some decent football in the first half and looked quite dangerous on the break.  The last ten minutes though were like the Alamo!  Clach were absolute mince.

Shame I missed the game, but a much needed win. C'mon the Fort.

Whats the deal with touchlines, 18yd box, 6 yd box, penalty spot here? Watched the video a couple of times and can't see any evidence of any!

It's the much fainter yellow lines. The white rugby lines are nice & clear, but have to look a bit harder for the yellow. They're clear enough when you're down at pitch level, but as you've observed, not ideal from a spectator / screen viewing perspective.

Thanks. for that.

I'd assumed that there must be something there, as otherwise the game wouldn't go ahead. Presumably, as you say, much easier to pick out at the game itself

The lines can be a bugger on a shared pitch. At Meadowbank's second ever home match, a midweek game against Brechin in the old-style League Cup Section 9, the ref discovered that the pitch hadn't been marked and still had the lines from a Highland Games on the Saturday. Not sure if Thistle incurred any penalty other than having to reimburse Brechin (and presumably their supporters) for their travel expenses but the crowd* was already in the ground and had to be given a refund on the way out.

*Using the term loosely. As I said this was only our second home match and the novelty hadn't worn off yet so there was a fair number there by later standards.
