Elginstreetbadger Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Game on as of 07:30am,so pitch deemed playable at that time However,the BBC Weather forecast has shown a marked increase in the wind speed since then. Now showing 40+ over the course of the game along with sleet so conditions are going to be difficult to play in. As no one has started any thread on this match, I take it interest is limited amongst locals and given the forecast, I suspect most folks are staying at home. A few hardy ECFC fans heading down and there should be some Central Belt Elgin supporters as well. Self evident that both teams will be out to get the 3 points for different reasons. From an Elgin perpective, the 3 points are essential to keep us in with a shout for a play off position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Elgin City Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Another huge game for us. Shane and Smart both out is a blow. Hopefully we can nick a win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon9736 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Another good 3 points. A bit of a bugger if you turned up a few minutes late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elginstreetbadger Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Definitely not a day for silky football Windy and cold conditions throughout. Thought the City were the better team in the first half and having got over the shock of two quickfire goals,we on the front foot for most of the half and had the better of the play and chances. Second half was more even and Rovers had a really good claim for a penalty denied by a ref who was keen to.keep the game going throughout. As the conditions worsened with sleet in a driving wind,a few yellows were dished out to players of both teams. Rovers should have equalised but the shot which was net bound hit a Rovers player and went out. A good 3 points in horrible conditions but well done the players for hanging in there. Archie picked an injury but walked round so looks like a knock and nothing too serious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordon9736 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 As a total aside and seeing that Vodka Vic commented, do any of the older Elgin fans remember Vic Kasule playing for Elgin during the John Teasdale years? Might have been just the once as a triallst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We kinda huffed and puffed a bit yesterday however no-one would have grudged us a point on the second half display. Elgin defended well and looked dangerous on the break , ultimately the first 5 minutes of the game made it an uphill task. Our record at Central park of late isn’t great so offer me a point and I would take it. In saying that SuperCowden how about chucking three easy points to your old muckers fae Coatbrig? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
