Still outstanding are a QF, both SFs and Final of 2020-21 Aberdeenshire Cup... QF + first SF are this Saturday; other SF next midweek; Final a week on Saturday.

Plus there are still a SF and Final from 2019-20 South Challenge Cup to be completed... SF on Saturday 31st July and Final on Sunday 15th August.

Indeed it will have taken 6 days short of 2 years to complete 2019-20 South Challenge Cup 😃. R1 was played Saturday 24th August 2019.

I realise I should have said LEAGUE games as I knew there were some cups still outstanding, lol.


They've now delayed last season's Aberdeenshire Cup Final to an unstated date in August in the hope of a bigger crowd.

Today I've been to my 100th ground in Scotland. Not bad considering I haven't even been here for 4 years and effectively only 2 1/2 years in which it was actually possible to go to football.

Robertson Park is number 100. Lovely ground. Thorniewood United 1-4 Cambuslang Rangers

A truly random one for me this morning as I took in a bounce game involving Bradford City at Millburn. They've been training all week in Scotland and finished off their trip by playing a wee in house friendly. Some real quality players on show, especially considering they're a League Two side.

Tynecastle 0-4 Bonnyrigg Rose
I'm normally not too keen on new builts. But they definitely got Meggetland right. Good place to watch football. Rose were strong and thoroughly deserved their win. I'd fancy their chances in the Lowland League. Tynecastle were not too bad though and probably would have deserved a goal, the scoreline was a bit harsh on them.

I really like Meggetland, I think it's one of the best small grounds in the country. The stand is distinctive and attractive, there's plenty terracing and it possibly has the best view from behind the goals in non-league football with that raised terrace. There's even a bar in the ground.

The only thing it needs to be perfect is some covered terracing.

All the Edinburgh rugby grounds have very original grounds and grandstands:

West Of Scotland Football League Division Four
BSC Glasgow 0-2 St. Peters
Springburn Park Synthetic

Ground has potential for expansion & upgrading. Spectators & railing currently only on the entrance side but ample space for standing. Venue fully enclosed & stand alone ie not surrounded by other pitches.

St. Peters win thanks to a brace from their number 9 which is a fair reflection of the team's performances. Attendance I'd guess in the 25-40 range.

Carnoustie Panmure 5 v 0 Forfar United in the midland league. Warmest I can remember watching football in the U.K.  Neat little ground but could have done with a shed to provide shade today.

9th July. Lewis & Harris League.
Carloway FC 1 Back FC 9
Cnoc a'Choilich, Carloway.
Admission £3. Attendance c100.
High flyers Back see off strugglers Carloway and are 5-0 up at half time. Hat tricks for Euan Anderson and Connor Mackay and a double for Stevie Mutch. Joel Martin got the other one while DI Maclennan got Carloway's consolation at 7-0.
The second photo looks like a goal, but it's actually the high point of the Carloway keeper's night as he pulls off a point-blank save to tip it over the bar...

Benburb 1-0 Rob Roy

could’ve went either way to be honest. 
ball in the air a lot, not many chances but by no means a boring game. 
 

Benburb #5 Ryan Docherty won every ball at the back.

New Tinto Park’s wee social club is a gem too. Great day out

will do well to find a more animated manager than Paul Lovering - kicked every ball!
