Surely early evening matches would still be possible?

 

In the past such games have always been 3pm or earlier (even Girvan v Golspie which was only in September IIRC).

However you're correct. Giving an extra 45mins for extra-time and penalties, and perhaps an extra 45mins to avoid abandonment in case of a serious injury, something like 5:15pm would be possible. In any case the concern now only applies to Colville v Whitehill plus any replay, and any LTHV v Wigtown replay.

Anyone mind when the Lithgae bragging rights used to be cos they'd won something? These days it's all, "When the Rose go up to meet the criteria to retain their licence, we'll be there, we'll be there..."

It's the big derby between the big teams today in the juniors wonder if their will be the same patter.

Lochee United 7-0 Burntisland Shipyard

I went to this one, pretty much one-way traffic and Lochee fully deserved a big win. Having said that, the scoreline was slightly harsh on Shippy as they weren't as bad as 7-0 suggests. They should have scored at least 2 goals. The first half was played in lovely sunshine, but the second half it was chucking it down. The last 20 minutes not much happened in the game anymore. The pitch became pretty much unplayable and the ball could hardly roll more than just a few feet. Had this happened earlier in the game, it would definitely have been abandoned.

Coldstream 1-9 Jeanfield Swifts

Scoreline exceptionally harsh on the hosts, who competed for long spells of the game, and were only really over-run in the last 15mins.

Coldstream probably shaded possession for the open quarter of the game, and they came close with a 25-yard fizzer which skimmed the right-hand post, as well as having a soft penalty shout denied. However after seeing a shot cleared off the line, it was Jeanfield who scored, when the home 'keeper rushed from his line to cover a ball heading for the byline... but failed to arrive in time, leaving his goal prey to the opener. Then the tie was won and lost in a mad few minutes around the half-hour as Jeanfield scored 3 times... a freekick deflected off the wall, a prodded effort when the ball fell kindly in the box, and a well-worked attack down the right. Coldstream refused to surrender and got back to 1-4... their striker nodding in his own rebound after slack Swifts defending.

Second half Coldstream looked the more dangerous and it should have gone 2-4 when a long-range lob deceived the visiting stopper. Inexplicably the path linesman overruled the ref for offside interfering. Homester heads went down and their defence to pieces as Jeanfield rattled in 5 without reply, including a direct free-kick, before the Streamers struck the bar late-on.

Good crowd of perhaps 170 - including many visitors.

Dundonald Bluebell 2 Auchinleck Talbot 2
Full-Time

Good game to watch. Talbot was the better side and created a few more chances, but Bluebell was always in the game.

I though that Talbot started sitting in midway through the 2nd half, allowing Bluebell a lot more of the ball and they took advantage with the equaliser and a worldy second to go in front. 

The Bluebell defender was unlucky with the first penalty as he knew nothing about it and it was awarded under the new interpretation of handball.  It wasn't the best penalty and the keeper saved it relatively comfortably, but I think he was hard done by when he went after the rebound and the Talbot player went down in the challenge and the ref gave a second penalty. I was standing behind the goal and had a great view of it. The keeper certainly got a good hand on the ball to knock it out for a corner.

Bluebell could easily have snatched it at the end as Talbot continued to defend rather than look for a winner. 

Decent crowd too which looked close to 500.

Canny really argue about your report. Was at the other side of the pitch when the second penalty was given so can't comment. I honestly don't know why Talbot sat back and let the Bluebell boss the middle of the park in the second half, but they paid the price for it. Well don the Buebell staff for getting the game on. Looking forward to the replay.

Historic day for us and the Haws yesterday, was always going to be a tough ask for us to get a result there, it was a bitch of a draw for our debut.

That said, after a 6th minute setback, the game was fairly even throughout with few clear cut chances created, the downpour towards the end of the first half and during haltime almost made the pitch unplayable. Another downpour and I think it could have been abandoned. Both sides reduced to 10 men early second half, one a harsh straight red for one of our centre halfs for a shirt tug which the ref presumably intepreted as denying a clear goalscoring opportuniyy, and a red no more than 5 minutes later for the Haws no.6 for a sliding studs up challenge. Haws sealed it with a penalty needlessly given away with about 10 to go as we chased the equaliser.

The good thing is, we can say "always next season".  Crowd I believe was given as 217.
