Yes, 1400 at Towhead Park, Cumnock. I'll probably be at it. Tony Begg is kind enough to copy me into the games schedule email every week. The club will likely put out a "games this weekend" graphic in the next day or so. 16s and 18s are at home to Elgin on Sunday and I'll be with the girls in Dumfries when they play QOTS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Bairn Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I know it's off topic but just announced Grangemouth Oil refinery is going to close. Never thought I'd see that. Jeez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Having been born, brought up and still living in the town I would have thought this would be a catastrophe for the place, but being honest it’s an absolute shithole that’s been neglected for so long by Falkirk Council that I can’t see it making much difference to us who live there.

And promotion with us should mean he can negotiate a better contract elsewhere. He would absolutely go with my best wishes, pretty much the only decent performer in two years of utterly shite teams, and always tries like f**k. Even if he doesnt head the ball and can be a greedy bas at times If he gets promotion with us he’ll probably negotiate with us first to get a better deal and if he can’t get it then yes cal will look elsewhere for game time But if he leaves I do and I think all of us should wish him well in his future endeavours even if he maybe selfish in possession and is absolutely shite at anything with his head -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Spencer injured for Saturday. My team would be Long Bisland Donaldson Lang Mccann Yeats Henderson Morrison Agyeman Miller Maciver Try to get 2/3 up as soon as at all possible and then get Lawal Nesbitt Mackie Allan on. Ross too but think he's not allowed to play by Raith. Edited November 23, 2023 by bairn88 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although sitting 3rd in the Highland League, realistically they are 5th best team in the division as the likes of Buckie and Brora have played less games and have more quality and rounded squads. Highland League sides outside the top 2 (Brechin and Banks o Dee) are a poorer overall standard than previous years. I was at the Aberdeenshire Shield quarter final when Banks o Dee stuffed them 5-0. Julian Wade, striker, formerly of Brechin is a player than could play L2, bags of pace and needs space behind limited. Dylan Lobban and Adam Emslie, both youngsters on loan from Aberdeen, are creative but lightweight. Defensively Formartine are shaky, centre backs are old fashioned with little pace and full backs will get destroyed by Morrison and Miller. This will be wave after wave of Falkirk attack and I fully expect 4+ goals for the Bairns and a clean sheet.

I’d still stick with my lineup. If it’s done after 45 mins we can ease off with changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
