Kirrie Thistle 2 Brechin Vics 1

Dunbar United 1 Kirkcaldy & Dysart 2 New Countess Park, 25/03/23 K&D scored within 2 minutes and dominated 1st half. Dunbar did have chances and hit the crossbar in each half. Referee was terrible throughout with his worst decision being a red card for a Dunbar player when he was the one fouled. Late consolation through a penalty and they tried hard to get an equaliser. Great wee ground with the added entertainment of frequentvtrains passing by. A superior experience to Meadowbank the night before.

Also FC Edinburgh v Queen of the South on Friday night. Edinburgh were the slightly better side in the 1st half and QotS dominated the 2nd half. Some good saves from Mutch in Edinburgh goal. Crowd was officially given as 650.

I survived the dizzy heights I thought the 2 teams were fairly evenly matched and there was some good play from both. Edinburgh probably slightly edged the first half and I wondered at HT if they may regret not having taken some of their chances. Queen of the South were more dominant in the second half.

FC Edinburgh v Queen of the South £3, 56 pages. Some good content with 3 detailed match reports, a quiz, and even an article about non-league football in the South Shields area.

Went along as a neutral. The view is okay from the back (3rd!) row.

I was at a 2.30pm match and thought I would listen to it on the way home. It took a few minutes of switching between digital and FM on the car radio to work out which was 'open all mics'.

Blairgowrie 0 Kirrie Thistle 2 Thankfully there was a good sized covered terrace at a rather wet Davie Park. Kirrie possibly should have scored more but Blair played well and were let down by poor finishing.

If a B team is playing in a non-reserve league then the players should not be eligible for the first team at all unless under the same loan arrangements that apply to all other clubs. A player registered with a 'normal' league team wouldn't be allowed to play for another team outwith a loan deal and certainly wouldn't be allowed to go back and forth between them. Makes a mockery of registration regulations otherwise.

Colony Park

Took in first half of Colony Park v Dyce (HT 1-1, FT 2-2) while in Inverurie for Locos v Brechin in Highland League Cup. They may have gotten a few more of the bumper crowd at Harlaw Park paying to get in if they had shifted the kick-off to 1 pm. Some decent play from both teams and a draw seems fair.

Decent programme at North Lodge Park last night (£2). Good interview with Paul Campbell who recently signed for Formartine from Fraserburgh and had scored a hat trick in each of their previous two matches. In addition to the usual player and club profiles for the visitors there was an interesting historical article about a past Brechin player and manager, Frank Sandeman.

Thanks welshbairn.

Can't read the article without subscribing, but confirmed in The Courier that a man was charged by police following a 'disturbance' at the ground.

Hermes 2 Kirrie Thistle 0 Quest Engineering Cup Beautiful, if rather unseasonal, weather for this fixture. Hermes don't make it easy to find the entrance to the ground, which is hidden at the back of an industrial estate car park. The grass embankment along one side of the pitch gives a good view. Kirrie were not at their best; Hermes defended solidly and had the best chances during the match. A goal shortly before half time gave them the advantage and they built on this in the second half to finish as deserved winners.

7/01/23 Broughty Athletic 1-2 East Craigie

Only occasionally. Don't get down as often as I would like. Did get to the away games at Cove and Arbroath.

I'm a Morton fan but attend HFL matches more frequently.

Not if you read parts of the forum outwith SPFL

Arbroath v Morton

Tayport 0-3 Broughty Athletic

Didn't expect a programme in tier 6 but it had plenty of good material.
