highlandcowden Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well toughly enjoyed that Lancaster city game-can even drink from the sidelines.unfortunately,despite the low crowd,there was a bit of bother in the surrounding streets afterthe end which will be why there was a fair old police presence towards the end of the game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saigon Raider Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Went to Korea vs Japan in the Asian Games final on Saturday. Korea won 2-1 after extra time and their players now avoid the mandatory military service after winning a gold medal. Took 3 hours to travel the 40km to the game from Jakarta - traffic even more unbelievable than usual.

When an Everton player scores 3 it would hint hugely at that ... The first was a pen but the other 2 he did take them well. He’s a big lad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Heading to Spartans v Whitehill in Lowland League today. ETA: Finished 1-0 to Spartans but win was far more comfortable than the score suggests. Whitehill look like they will struggle this year.

GordonS Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Edinburgh Uni 1 v 5 Stirling Uni, Lowland League. I've previously been sceptical about the university teams in the fifth tier of Scottish football. I unreservedly take that back. This was one of the most enjoyable, civilised experiences I've had watching non-league football. In fact, given the choice of any place to watch football in Edinburgh, I'd choose here. The ground is very smart and tidy, with modern and well maintained facilities. They've got the best written programme I think I've ever read. Not a massive amount in it, but it's not cluttered by adverts and pictures - just lots if text in good prose. The pavillion is a very civilised place to be before the match with good pies, mugs of tea and home baking. If you're a sad old bagger like me it's nirvana. The walls are lined with annual team photos, and I found among the 1994-95 team the massive red-headed Northern Irish guy I fouled in an intramural match by kicking in the oxter. The pitch is maybe just shy of premier league standard, only falling short by being less than completely flat. Nothing that would affect the roll of the ball though. The stand is perfect for this level, four rows of seats and well covered, with clear plastic ends for visibility in the corners. The Pentlands make a great backdrop to the view. Back-to-middle there was little difference between the teams, but going forward Stirling have four properly talented guys. I don't know anything about these teams, so I don't know if they're new or have been there a while; all I can say is that, in terms of technique, they could play upper end of League One. Physicality might be a problem though. The admission fee was worth it for the fourth goal alone, a sumptuous, controlled side-foot volley close to the ground from the edge of the box, curled low into the far corner. Only 48 watching, which is a real shame because it deserves more. If I were an Edinburgh alumnus who lived locally, I'd definitely be down here most home games. Not the best pictures, but others take better ground photos than me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fantastic backdrop for a game, and dead handy for me since I live south of the city. I'm definitely going to go to more games there in future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Been at a few this week. Kelty 8-0 Edinburgh United on Tuesday, Hill of Beath Haws 1-3 BSC in the under 20s last night and at Spartans 1-0 Whitehill today when I bumped into Jute. Had pondered about the Uni derby game as well on the train over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today made me realise that if they were in the LL or EoS I'd be looking out for their scores every week, and if they had a home like Edinburgh I'd be going to the odd match fairly often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Newcastle Benfield 1-1 Workington Reds, in front of around 200-250, 60 or so from West Cumbria. Was a decent game, Workington were the better side as you'd expect from a club who have done pretty well in the Northern Premier League in the last few seasons. Benfield were spirited though and had one or two really tidy players who could do a job at a higher level. The ground and set up reminded me of a good Glasgow junior club, very well run and a friendly welcome, with the social club going like a fair. Reply is I think in midweek and Workington really should prevail at home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverkeithing v St Andrews for me yesterday. Fairly comfortable 2-0 win for the visitors. Edited September 9, 2018 by The Mantis Yeah i was going to point out it's 1905 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
