Guest Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Dalbeattie 0-2 Caledonian Braves.Lowland League [emoji736]️. Not the best game today, some of the worst refereeing I have ever seen. Braves deserved winners against Dalbeattie who were down to 10 men for over an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Carlisle City 4-2 Chester-le-Street Town. A trip down south this afternoon. Carlisle were 3-1 up at half time and well worthy of their lead. Chester-le-Street scored late on and looked to have made it a bit of a nervy finish, but the home side caught them on the break and sealed the win with the last kick of the ball. Good game, tenth tier of the English pyramid, not much of a difference in quality to what I usually watch. Massive novelty and brilliant to be able to have a beer in the stand. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Went to FC United vs South Shields, over 2000 in attendance, live band playing under the stand, what a fantastic bunch at FC, very hospitable. Would definitely return. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mantis Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Lewis & Harris League (Moldova Lewis Cup), Monday night at Garrabost. Point FC 3-2 Carloway FC. Point score almost from the kickoff and are expected to hammer unfancied Carloway (who lost 9-1 to Ness last time I saw them). However Carloway equalise on 20 mins and take a surprise lead after 50. Carloway look quite comfortable and have a late chance for 3-1, but disaster strikes as Point equalise on 88 minutes and everybody wonders how the extra time will work in the dark. Then Point get a contentious penalty in 96 mins. The keeper saves it but the rebound is knocked home for the winner. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I've got a weekend round of the Co-op Cup and a midweek league card on whilst I'm there. Excellent news!Can't wait to share this news with my family, who will be truly delighted, perhaps even thrilled, at the prospect of me dragging them off Uig Sands to go and watch fitba.Of the league games (at Back, Point, Westside and Ness for that round of fixtures), which grounds would you recommend as the better choices? (All seem broadly 45-60 minutes away from our digs in Kneep.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(All seem broadly 45-60 minutes away from our digs in Kneep.) If you're at Kneep, it's a shame your (my) "local" team Carloway aren't at home. Same with Utd and Aths who groundshare at Goathill. Ness, Back and Point are all decent, and Point have a good social club. Ness have too but I've never been in it. West Side is a bit more basic. I'll be back up there 5th August for a week. Bear in mind that Ness will take you about 1 1/4 hours to drive.

Guest Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Carlisle 1-0 Mansfield. Easter Monday madness in Cumbria. Dreadful first half with ex Aberdeen dud Matty Longstaff not exactly a standout in English League Two. One goal from the excellent Omari Patrick enough to ensure United stay up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy groundhopper Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Mangotsfield 2 Slimbridge 0 att 140. Relegated Mangoes put in a decent display v a lifeless Swans,who didn't take early chances and were made to pay. Possibly down to either the Hellenic or Western next season, a fairer level for the youngsters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Bootle 2-0 Marine Local derby to dash Marine's outside title hopes. Title will be decided on the final week now and won by either Warrington Rylands or Workington. Marine will be in the play offs. Bootle took the lead from the moment of the match which was an excellent cross from the left winger onto the strikers head at the back post. Ball of a lifetime stuff that you knew was a goal the second it left the wingers foot. Bootle then had a centre-half sent off straight red for a tackle on around 30 mins. Bit harsh for me, he was late but not sure it was reckless or studs up. Brilliant defensive performance for Bootle to hold on, against the more fancied team anyway, from there and despite a deluge of attacks from Marine it was Bottle who scored again late on, on the break to seal the points. 1,112 in attendance Edited April 19, 2022 by Christophe 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Preston Athletic 2-2 Kinnoull. Too nice a night to be sitting in house so headed along to this. Really entertaining game with some great goals.

Craig fae the Vale Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Caledonian Braves (South of Scotland) 2-0 Nithsdale Wanderers Dreadful game and indiscipline costs Nithsdale again as for the second time in a fortnight they end a game here with nine men. Also caught the first half of Bullwood 1-1 Polonia Glasgow on the back pitch, which was a nice bonus. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Harrogate Town 1-4 Swindon Town @ Wetherby Road on Friday . 3pm kick-off in League 2 and a comfortable win for the impressive visitors who led 2-0 at half time and 4-0 after an hour. Crowd 2933 including 600 from Swindon. That’s me up to 70/92. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Tollcross Thistle 4-4 Drumchapel Amateurs (After Extra Time, Tollcross win 3-2 on penalties). The delayed 2019-20 Scottish Amateur Cup Final and what a final it was. Drum 3-0 up at halftime but Tollcross came out like a different side in the second half and equalised with a penalty deep into stoppage time. Traded goals early in Extra Time before Drumchapel managed to miss three penalties in the shootout. Fantastic entertainment. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
