    in Lowland League

    Posted

    Fans are welcome to debate our 30 game record if they wish. It's all about opinions. In the long run it doesn't really matter. The only thing that matters to EK fans is to compete Lowland League title & promotion to League 2.

    Before the season started we would have been delighted with 14 wins out of 15 in the league. Here's hoping we can continue this form into the second half of the season. 


    EK have been on an incredible run but for selfish reasons I hope you now stumble a bit so we can have a winner take all match on April 22nd which would certainly end up with a world record crowd for a lowland league game

    Hahaha does a Dalbeattie coach shout 'you fat b*****d' when Jamie Barclay makes the save right at the end or am I hearing things? If true then must be on a par with John Coughlin telling Ricky Miller to 'get in that fuckin box' for highlight shouts.


    I bet he wishes the so called fat b*****d was in his goals!

    I don't think the penalty thing is the vital issue tbh... It's the fact that other lower-level clubs (and indeed at least one other top-tier club) are known to have won more than 26 games in a row. EK passing the world record held by Ajax, at major top-tier level, is taken as EK breaking the world record - making an incorrect assumption no other lower-level club can have done better than 26 over the last 120-odd years of organised football. You only have to go back to last season and Hereford won 27 games in a row, but presumably didn't get all this PR: which is unfortunate for Hereford and the Southern League and good for EK and LL.

    Winning 27 games running, pens or not, is great for EK as is the PR but it isn't (yet) a record.


    I have done a bit of digging and have yet to beat - with evidence - the 31 consecutive wins registered by Belfast Celtic in 1947-48. So if EK can beat

    University of Stirling (A) - EOS Qualifying Cup
    Edusport Academy (A) - South Challenge Cup
    Civil Service Strollers (H) - LL
    Spartans (A) - LL
    Stranraer (A) - Scottish Cup

    we may be talking a world record.



    Just for the record if EK draw with Stranraer but beat them on pens in the replay will that make 32?

    Can I just say one thing. The record is for consecutive wins. It isn't a record for wins in 90 minutes. It's just simply consecutive victories. The fact the UK media & Ajax have accepted this as a general rule should be the end of the debate. 


    Must admit I only became aware of this draw today but talk about changing the rules! EK are on a fantastic run but a draw and a win on pens is a draw!!!!
