I'd take bookings and bottom of the fair play table in exchange for 2nd in the Lowland League (B Teams dont count) everyday of the week.

This season hes played 8 less than Tom Grant but 6 more than Gemmell.

Just the 7 bookings for McCormack this season equal with Tom Grant and below Michael Gemmell on the diciplinary record table. Bo'ness are bottom of the fairplay table also on 56 bookings, 2 second yellows and 0 straight reds.

Taking the B teams out and EK out due to their vastly larger budget. You cant really argue against Stuart and Michael. Without meaning to cause offence Bo'ness have been a bit of a surprise this season. Big improvement on last year.

Well Fagan is now EK from Albion. Plus EK's player turn over makes it difficult as they've used 37 different players this season hence why so few based on stats alone.

Yeah I missed that off. Transfermarkt has him down as missing 270 minutes but its due to Hearts B playing 3 more games. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scottish-lowland-football-league/dauerbrenner/wettbewerb/SC5L/plus//galerie/0?saison_id=2023&pos=Torwart&detailpos=&altersklasse=alle

Take your pick from the below. Mckenzie Kirk (CF) - Hearts B has to be in with 26 Goals 6 Assists in 20 games, a goal every 69 mins. Cammy Ross (CF) - Tranent, 18 Goals 3 Assists (Worst Discipline in the league 3 Yellow 2 Straight Reds) Niyah Joseph (LW) - Albion Rovers, 15 Goals 3 Assists. Callum Sandialnds (CAM/CF) - Hearts B, 16 Goals 7 Assists. Billy Mortimer (CF)- Cumbernauld Colts, 14 Goals 5 Assists. Liam Buchanan (CF) - Berwick Rangers, 15 Goals 1 Assist a goal every 83 mins. Scott Ferguson (RM) - East Kilbride, 10 games 8 Goals 1 Assist. Ryan Porteous (LM) - Bo'ness United, 15 Goals 1 Assist. Daniel Martins (CB) - Caley Braves, barely missed a minute this season only 6 Clean Sheets though Sean Fagan (CB) - Albion Rovers, 27 Games 10 Clean Sheets Adam Fernie (RB) - Albion Rovers, 27 Games 11 Clean Sheets Cameron Dickson (LB) - Cumbernauld Colts, 29 Games 9 Clean Sheets Ross Connelly (GK) - Albion Rovers, 28 Games 26 Goals Conceded 11 Clean Sheets Liam McFarlane (GK) - Hearts B, 31 Games 36 Goals Conceded 9 Clean Sheets (Played every minute)

I watched and recommended him whilst working for Cowdenbeath, was watched again by other scouts at Cowdenbeath and then Dumbarton after some of us made the move. Big tall strong CF mainly used as a target man. not the most prolific of goal scorers 14 goals in 56 games with 5 assists in the LL but still only 22 and with the right partnership up top should be a great addition to Montrose.

Live stream cancelled due to a electrical fault at Alliance Park. Commentary is still available on Twitter/X

Just incase anyone hasn't seen the social media posts. Caley Braves will be live streaming tonight's game.

for Bronze, clubs are required to have a doctor at all home games

I've not managed to watch the full game yet but have seen the highlights. I don't think Stevenson's was a red, yes he hauled him back but we had Mackay coming across so its wasn't a goal scoring opportunity. Mylchreest's goal was well taken and its a great 3 points on the road against a team in the title race if they win their games in hand. On the scouting side I posted this on my LinkedIn giving people an update on progress so far: "Since November 2023, I and the Berwick Rangers FC team have been actively expanding our scouting network, and we now have a dedicated team of 20 volunteers diligently producing weekly reports. Despite initial setbacks caused by inclement weather and subsequent game cancellations, our progress has picked up significantly, with an average of 7 to 8 scouts deployed per week. It is important to note that all our scouts contribute their time and effort without compensation or expenses. The size of our team allows us to maintain a healthy work-life balance, accommodating the family and professional commitments of our volunteers. Behind the scenes, a great deal of work takes place, involving game management and report organisation which I have found challenging but rewarding. As we enter 2024, I would like to express my gratitude to every scout who has contributed thus far, exhibiting dedication and a genuine passion for the sport. I must also extend special recognition to Dan Crowe for his exceptional guidance and continuous support in navigating the intricacies of the club. Likewise, I would like to acknowledge Dennis McCleary, our club secretary. On the scouting side of his role at the club, his workload has significantly grown from processing a single access request, or sometimes none, to approximately five to ten a week. Nevertheless, Dennis has consistently responded promptly, ensuring our scouts gain the necessary access to games." We have multiple scouts out again this week and next. Fingers crossed another 3 points this weekend against CSS coming off a good win themselves.

Merry Christmas to all the Berwick supporters and a Happy New Year when it comes.

Not a problem. I'm happy to respond when I can. I will quickly say that anything I say are my own personal views and don't represent the club's views, just in case I say something wrong or offend anyone by mistake. That's completely fair. I wouldn't expect any football fan to be all positive when the team they support hasn't had results go their way. I'm a bit too young to remember any days like being locked out of Shielfield. Here's hoping we find some great players to strengthen the squad. Thank you. I won't be at the game this weekend. I'm nightshift, followed by a few hours of sleep before a live game to watch a few targets, followed by another nightshift. Fingers crossed the boys get 3 points this weekend. Looking forward to your nice post after we do . All the best JC

Nice to meet you, I'll happily post what I can here and there about the scouting network if I'm allowed, obviously wont be posting about targets or signings as that will come from the club. I can try and chase up the email to the club shop for you. Don't know if I can be much help but I'll certainly mention it to someone. I myself have found since coming into the role my phone is never out my hand always something to do. Hoping for a good result this weekend against Edinburgh Uni if the games on and same for getting our scouts out to games weather dependent.
