Slinking it free at half time has it's drawbacks. The second half was little more than a training match. Rossvale have fairly let things go, but Drumchapel are clearly a decent side who like to play a bit of football. My only reservation about them being promoted is that the Donald Dewar will be a nightmare to get a decent view at when well supported sides come calling. They're getting a couple of hundred fans of their own so maybe they'll have plans to move on to something a bit better in the next few seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Suggest watching the goals from the weekend on Johnstone Burghs twitter feed if you want to see the perils of having to play an outfield player in goals (!). Apparently we've had a sub keeper on the bench every other week this season, but he was unavailable at the weekend. Typically this is the weekend the first choice goalie goes off injured, and it certainly changed the match and probably the season. Bad luck all round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do Johnstone Burgh not have a couple of under 20s keepers too or were they the ones unavailable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they do but I think they would have been asked. The problem is as shown the back up keeper hasn't been needed. They probably declined as they didn't want to give up an afternoon on the sideline Just bad luck 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this level at least. Hope Burgh get it sorted as they seem to be having a good season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi1977 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Treated the missus to her first ever pyramid game... and my first ever West of Scotland league match when we took in Shotts Bon Accord v Cumbernauld United. Really nice, old school set up at Shotts. Proper large standing enclosure on one side and a large open terrace on the other. Well stocked wee snack bar with decent grub too. Cumbernauld dominated, raced into a 3-0 lead. Shotts got one back and suddenly started to play as Cumbernauld looked to hang on. Shotts threw a lot at it, but dreadful finishing and solid goalkeeping meant no change to score. Really entertaining wee match with a crowd of about 75ish by my very inadequate headcount!

Spyro Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Surely Shotts can't get relegated! They were 3rd favourites at the start of the season but its been a disaster so far, the whole winter has been a succession of call-offs and defeats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its strange, the fiasco of the Dundonald game took the wind out them and they've never recovered. Dundonald are good but they should never be doing that to Shotts in a big cup game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Interesting to see Bonnyton in mid-table albeit having played the most games. Normally you need around 30 points to stay up, so they have five games to get a couple of wins with four of those against teams below them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old 14-team leagues you needed 34 or 35 points to stay up, so with four more games now I reckon the safety mark will be 40+ points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
