Neither is ideal I have to admit and there will always be one or two teams affected by boundary moves. Footnote we have a lot of good friends in Nairn and our clubs get on well so wouldnt want to lose that bond Making a weekend of Brechin v Clach and stopping in Montrose. Have to say Roselea would make an excellent away day addition to the Highland League, or Montrose should their current form dwindle away. Very decent pubs and choice of eatiries. Last time I was here was for a Montrose v Falkirk Cup game and just drove to the ground and left after the game thinking it was a shithole tbh. It isn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 A 5-0 win over St. James today, first half was a bit poor although we did lead 1-0 at the break. The second half was excellent, with a brilliant 4-goal haul by Jaden Ferguson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 East Craigie continuing to win, but their inability to keep up with Panmure in the GF department as of late looks to be what will kill their title hopes. Could easily see the two teams tied at the top on points, but Carnoustie's goalscoring is what will see them as champions. Jack Wilkie got MotM though for them against Forfar West End though, so that's not bad at least. Nice to see Ewan Murray get on the scoresheet for Lochee United too, and didn't realise how big a lad Luke Graham was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Craigie have two games in hand on Panmure, so if both teams win all their remaining games (2 for Carnoustie, 4 for East Craigie) then they'd both finish on 98 points. The Run-in Wednesday 20th April East Craigie vs. Forfar United (Craigie won reverse fixture 1-5 away) Saturday 23rd April Carnoustie Panmure vs. Lochee Harp (Panmure won reverse fixture 0-15 away) East Craigie vs. Brechin Victoria (Craigie won reverse fixture 0-5 away) Saturday 30th April Forfar West End vs. Carnoustie Panmure (Panmure drew reverse fixture 2-2 at home) Dates TBA (probably waiting on cup results) East Craigie vs. Dundee North End (Craigie won reverse fixture 0-1 away) East Craigie vs. Tayport (Craigie drew reverse fixture 0-0 away) Obviously Panmure have the points on the board already, but I think my scenario is pretty possible so long as the two teams keep their very impressive unbeaten/winning streaks up (unless I've missed something obvious and all of that was pointless lol). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them beat Lochee Utd recently and they were definitely up for that game. They weren't slow to update their Facebook page then but they've been pretty quiet the past couple of weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 A good, comfortable, win at Blairgowrie. Jaden Ferguson scored 4, he is now on 11 goals in 3 games. Just a shame we conceded 2 late on as we got a bit sloppy but overall a commanding performance. I am wondering what happened to Coupar Angus though, they had a few good results including a win against us and then they just seem to have imploded again. They lost 6-3 to Blair and now 7-1 against East Craigie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Spark Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Only 5 of the C Angus team that started against Lochee a few weeks ago started yesterday against E Craigie. Three subs against Lochee were in the first team yesterday but none of their seven subs against the Shipbuilders were even involved against the Chee. Suggests another massive turnover in playing staff. Either that, or they have a squad size to rival Celtic's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 The Midland League will have to complete their fixtures a bit earlier if they produce a licensed champion for the play offs next season. Mid April seems ridiculously early to finish but that's the way it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushing the club 42 games till the end of May would make things more manageable but I doubt the SPFL would agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid April seems ridiculously early to finish but that's the way it is. Once it was clear that no licensed side would win the league, they knew it wasn't needed to finish early. If we were in the running for longer, we'd have played some games midweeks in recent weeks to catch up. We've got floodlights now so there is no issue doing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not, because the SPFL lower league season finishes in April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's daft stopping the Highland League in mid April, especially in years with a bad winter and games are becoming more pleasurable. I don't see why all the players and fans in tiers 5 and 6 should suffer because one team, club 42, wants to get put out of its misery quickly.

invergowrie arab Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 East Craigie doing their title bid no harm hitting double figures v Forfar Utd tonight in an 12-0 win. Could even afford to miss a penalty and a few sitters. For the score the Forfar keeper was excellent. Good pie and about a pint of bovril too. Only moan was the haar made itbfeel like the depthsnof December. Sun was splitting the pavements in West end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If teuchters want to play in a national pyramid setup then they can follow the schedule followed by civilisation. If they are finding it difficult to fit in matches then they can either reduce their league size to a more manageable 16, and/or dunt their cup competitions to the 'more pleasurable' conditions of late spring football. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
