Marten Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Well, that's the tiny chance we still had definitely gone. Shame, but that's football. We've just not been consistent enough this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've just not been consistent enough this season. Still a lot of games to be played so probably a bit premature to be writing them off just yet. But, it's a big ask, especially as Downfield and Carnoustie don't look like slipping up on current form. Another really good win for Broughty and still sitting top, however they seem to follow up a brilliant win by dropping stupid points to the lesser sides. They'll be kicking themselves. Probably down to a 2 horse race for me now going by that league table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we're 2 points behind Carnoustie and they have 3 games in hand, let's be realistic, that's never going to happen. And then obviously there are more teams than just Carnoustie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worried Lochee Lad Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Gutted for the Chee this weekend, poor first half let us down. Table looks tight with loads of games in hand but reckon it's out of reach now. Time to write off the drama of this season, make some changes, and move forward 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 Well, at least I got some exercise in tonight... Walked to the ground for tonight's game, but it was called of late. After a drink in the bar I walked back again... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like young ultras are suddenly popping up all over our league. We suddenly have them, away against Blairgowrie our and Blair's young ultras tried to outdo each other. The rest of the spectators were wondering what was going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 6 miles there and back! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realmadrid Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Blairgowrie 0-5 Carnoustie Carnoustie go top of the league with a performance that shows why they will most probably win the league. Both keepers had great games and the score really should have been 2-7 or 3-8 based on missed chances or good saves Its taken just over a year but thats me now done all 19 midland league grounds with my own rule it needed to be for a league game. Blair kept getting postponed or moving to a Friday when i was free to go there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 A bit of a surprise in the Thorntons cup last night with Letham winning 3-2 over East Craigie. I guess East Craigie have a lot bigger cups to think about just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) I wonder what happened with FWE recently, last week already 9-0 against Broughty. And yesterday the main talking point in the social club after the game is how many big chances we wasted, especially in the first half where at least 3 sitters were missed, we could easily have been 5-0 up at HT, but it was only 1-0. The second half was much better in that sense. But with how weak FWE were it makes me wonder what happened.

Ginaro Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Looks like the East Region has forgotten they are below the HL, and are instead running it like the tier 6 leagues in the south with a deadline of 13th May to crown a champion. If Lochee were to somehow win, Strathspey would be waiting four weeks for the play-off games after finishing on 22nd April. If the Highland League play-off is to continue that needs to be sorted - especially if you needed a tier 6 play-off first before playing the bottom HL side! Having the Midlands League with 19 teams makes it far too many games to be finished in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the Midlands League with 19 teams makes it far too many games to be finished in time. There is no chance we'll even get close to clinching the title now. Should we still have been challenging at this point, more of an effort would have been made to finish on time. When we were still challenging, we had a home game v Forfar United moved to Station Park for example just to get it played. Next season we'll have 20 clubs with Montrose Roselea joining. It's an awkward number, 38 league games is quite a bit for this level, but nobody fancies going back to 10 team leagues either.

Spyro Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 (edited) A split after 19 games then top 10 and bottom 10 play 18 would take off 1 game and maybe add a bit of spice to things. Get the 1st 19 games played nice and early and use the local cup to fill the gap until everyone is at 19, that should get around any pre-split postponements Edited April 2, 2023 by Spyro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 This backlog is with midweek games played in July and August so they can't do anything extra that way beyond maybe starting the season earlier? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
