Guess the anger may have been in response to Cowdenbeath's 'over zealous' approach. A day on which the team that played football won over some fairly primitive overly physical tactics.Elgin City fans are very, very angry people who have a poor grasp of the English language - most of what was foaming out of their mouths was incoherent drivel.
No complaints about the result, the better team won comfortably. Herd's was a red card all day long with Barr and Buchanan lucky to stay on the pitch as well. Referee was poor for both sides today - never heard of him before so I'm guessing he's some new jobber.
We need to stop playing the ball long and high to Renton, the tactic doesn't work. It's even less effective when we play the ball long and high to Cox.
And that management team, talk about very, very angry people...
Their performance outshone their team's. Spark was fouled twice then goes down after Cox squeezes his genitals and Flaherty runs along the touchline spouting "F*ck off Spark ya f*ckin' fanny, ma cat's harder than you ya f*ckin' fanny..." etc etc.
Pretty much set the standard for the game.
Yeah, the families in the stand really enjoyed the visit of the Blue Brazil.
Bollan and his henchmen wait for the officials at the tunnel at half time and there's a stramash for around 5 mins. Bollan get's yellow carded at the start of the 2nd half.
Can't really criticise the team's discipline when the management team is setting such a standard. Cowdenbeath's board were very quiet...
I doubt (hope) that they weren't too happy with things. And that after the team had stayed the night before in a hotel in Elgin.0 -

Yes a weather based postponement - which is not unusual and happens every season in similar circumstances to some clubs.Point taken - didn't help when we headed down for the rescheduled game on a Tuesday evening only for the kick off to be delayed due to players being delayed crossing the Forth. No access to the ground, stuck outside in the car park and hearing rumours that the Cowden officials wanted it called off. Guess these things happen...

That was an act of God, I was there too. Not the act of a fruitcake.
You'll have enjoyed the drive back north then in glorious sunshine. I seem to recall a few Cowden fans discussing the circumstances at the time. Any truth in the story that Cowdenbeath held a training session on the park that afternoon?
Part time clubs rely on volunteers that have the best of intentions though things don't always go to plan - an 'act of God' perhaps like the hottest, driest summer since '76 did the Borough Briggs pitch no favours. Fruitcake's is a bit harsh...

Certainly not for the first time and probably not for the last time [emoji2]Elgin fans were going daft at their chairman at the time.0 -
Yeah, like what happened to us a couple of seasons ago, team and fans all in Cowdenbeath then game called off... remember that one eh?!Oh yeah, as a part time club we just love paying for the team to travel to Elgin by coach, go for a meal and all for f**k all. And then, we get the privilege of doing it all again.
Of course, it was our fault aswell.
Another intelligent comment. The roasters are out tonight.

Hibs suggested the price, Elgin agreed.One of the ticket office folks on Hibs.net confirmed it was Elgin's doing.
Cracking day out regardless.
All the best for the rest of the season.0 -

Unfortunate that this is, it’s still not as bad as going up to Elgin after they gritted the pitch.
Karma...?
Pitch wasn't great but games had gone ahead and ref seemed happy enough... until GB got involved and called him over...

Apologies for the one inaccuracy in my post. Informant obviously had gotten the wrong end of the stick...
Ah well, here's to next Saturday.
