funky monkey Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Buffs 2 Hurlford 2 A spirited performance from Buffs in a week of turmoil. First real action saw a poor challenge from a Ford player on Jordan Stuart. Looked a straight red, inexplicably the referee raised a yellow. This set the tone of the game. Jordan had to be taken off injured moments later. Both teams huffed and puffed, little in the way of goalmouth incident. Just before half time a Hurlford player put in a heavy challenge just outside the Buffs box, inexplicably the referee waves play on. A bit of retribution red mist from Mark Millar in the same passage of play and the referee produces a red card. Second half, Buffs open the scoring, a clever free kick releases Collins in the box and he fired past the keeper from a tight angle. Shortly afterwards, Hurlford equalised from a corner as P McKenzie slides in unmarked at the back post. Buffs kept plugging away and a fine long range effort from Dylan Mackin, possibly aided by a slight deflection, puts Buffs back in front. Again, Hurlford equalised quickly as M McKenzie was given too much space in the box. Hurlford camped in Buffs half looking for a winner, but Buffs dug deep and held on deservedly for the point. Another game where the officials simply weren't up to standard. Some really bizarre officiating. The standard of officials at WoSFL level is ruining our game as a spectacle. Focus turns to the South Challenge Cup next weekend and the recruitment of a new manager. Edited January 28, 2023 by funky monkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangest thing about the game yesterday was the amount of exmznsgers taking in the game plus a few ex senior players in attendance...

It set the tone for the game. We were in our usual spot in the seating and it happened right in front of us, the referee and the linesman. It was a red card all day long, reckless and dangerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the red that wasn't given the ref consulted with his assistant who was 70 yards from the incident but never spoke to the assistant that was 5 yards from the incident ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullyweehutch Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Decided to take in this hame today as my own team and board have chucked it this season and the league 1 games are now 18 quid just to get in. This is just 10 minutes along the road so easy journey. Lovely set up here, great covered terrace round the park and not a bad view to be had. I didn't have time for a pint in the clubhouse but had a wee nosey in and have to say it looks cracking. Enjoyed a good talk with some of the buffs regulars and enjoyed a cracking pie I have to say 10/10. There was 3 of us and I have to say for 3 pies, a tea and 2 borvrils coming I'm at 10 quid roughly I think, well you can't beat that. Onto the game, thought it was a good game and over the 90 the buffs were worth their win and could've (maybe should have) score 2 more than they did. Cracking day out lads and definitely will be back. A day out superior to some senior grounds I've been to over the years. A cracking wee ground and only £8 to get in! Will make sure to come by train next time for a pint 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, the overall match day experience and value for money at WoSFL Premier League level trumps that of the the senior professional game in Scotland. I've a season ticket for an SPFL club and will often choose to go to Buffs Park when the SPFL club are at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always watched non league games when Clyde have been away long distances such as Elgin or Peterhead. Tbf last week we were at home and I went to watch Irvine Vics instead as I fully expected a spanking off Dunfermline. 27 minutes ago, funky monkey said: The set up at Buffs Park is excellent.

I generally choose where I'm going on a game by game these days depending upon the fixture. Difference is SPFL football tends to take supporters for granted, whereas WoSFL games are generally more competitive and clubs look after supporters better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
