I forgot it was on, but wondered if it was worth catching up on? https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001bgt9/fight-at-the-fort I did enjoy the claims of “doing it on a shoe string budget” when they signed an entire team from another country, gave them jobs and accommodation and trained full time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Just watched it. Thought it was quite good at showing the lives of the players, hopefully the new manager will have more knowledge of football outside FM, from what I saw of them last season they had some decent players but their tactics were naïve in the extreme, run around like headless chickens until they're knackered and letting the opposition take over. Have to feel sympathy for the players. Total stitch up of the Highland League though, tiny edited snippets of the Secretary trying to explain how it went amidst diatribes from the Chairman and others putting out conspiracy theories. If they gave him 5 minutes to explain the Highland League's side of things, even just reading out the statement in full when Fort pulled out of the play offs, then fair enough. Anyone who watched it without knowledge of what went on will have no idea of the utterly unplayable state of the pitch before the season started, and that despite not bothering to roll, mow and line the pitch for the pre playoff inspection, they were offered another 4 days to sort it, otherwise they'd have to play the second leg at Lossiemouth (I think). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian1 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 " Shabbab has left Fort William......he will be working for Belgium at the World Cup" This statement on the screen as the programme ends....a bizarre end to a ridiculously one sided documentary. I think the former captain of Fort summed it up best "it's fucking pish" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 That was an enjoyable watch, but hardly a hard hitting expose of the incompetence that got Fort William into this position. It was especially generous to their chairman, who we know from his Twitter ranting is a fairly unpleasant character. Iftikhar comes across a a very decent bloke, although I think he might be better suited to motivational speaking than football coaching. I wished I loved anything as much as he loves that tactics board. I wonder how much of the interview with the ex-captain was completely unbroadcastable.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a decent goalkeeper. Might be more in the full squad but with them only having 2 subs it looks unlikely and they were very short of subs in April too.

welshbairn Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Fort won their first points in the NCL today, winning 1-2 in Thurso. Game was delayed due to a head injury to a Thurso player, an ambulance was called, hope he's ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resk Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 When Saturday Comes is an excellent publication that I've subscribed to for decades but I was disappointed to see that they'd bought into the fairy tale in their wee piece about this programme in a recent issue. However someone has written in to the latest issue and put them straight on a few things: "... there is an inescapable suspicion that there may be some at the club who are happy to bask in a level of publicity that only exists because the team's results are consistently abysmal and much of their off-field organisation is completely shambolic." Bob McPherson, Dundee, WSC 426. A doff of the cap to Bob! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their very openly MAGA chairman surely goes against WSCs politics as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
