AllyMonc Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Was hoping the club would have been more vocal on social media promoting today as the only game in the SPFL and that you still have time to get to the pub for the Scotland game. Seems like a missed opportunity to get a few more through the gate. Not sure what to expect today as for all we played some nice stuff last week we still looked so vulnerable every time Arbroath came forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm phoning from Cowdenbeath - there are three of us coming to the game. What time is kick-off?" "Three of you coming? What time can you get here?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club haven't updated the facebook page since September 8th. God knows what's gone on there but twitter is very useful for all things city related . I reckon we'll still get a decent crowd . Hibs are at home which is a shame but a few hearts fans might go and being an international weekend we'll probably get a few from other clubs without a game and some groundhoppers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye twitter is much better right enough, had forgotten Hibs were playing to be honest. The sun is out again so hopefully that'll help a bit as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Went along today as previously mentioned. One of my mates just missed out on the 50/50 draw and £92, whoever bought a ticket before him won it Elgin should have been well ahead at half time and 3-0 or 4-0 wouldn't have been an unfair half time score, first goal was a fluke a cross which went in off the post but the second was well worked. City were much improved in the second half with the Elgin keeper making two great saves, but I thought Elgin should have got a penalty but instead Dodd got booked. City penalty was a stonewaller and I thought they may have grabbed a point after that but not too be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a big threat in the box and makes a lot of the play up front. Beattie seemed out of sorts and off the pace today. Couldn't do anything with the ball when he had it and was subbed after half time with Caddow. Mbu got a knock and was replaced with McConnell. Gair booked for over zealously appealing for a penalty, I think. Guthrie came off after Dougie Gair scored for City and was replaced with Ross Allum but not enough time to make an impact. A couple of jokes from Sky Soccer Saturday's Jeff Sterling were in the Sun today. "Ross Allum's got the key" and "Allum's a key player" (alluding to the Allen key) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Gair booking at the penalty appeal was probably the ref evening out his cock up at the other end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine - in fact it was Alick Milne, whom I've mentioned before - bought three programmes. Their lucky numbers were 90, 91 and 93 (or something along those lines). The winner was 92.

Can't argue with that summary, Edinburgh were much better in the 2nd half and it was a nervous end to the game for Elgin. Happy to take 3 points away from home but the officials today were incredibly bad throughout the match. Meadowbank's looking a bit sad these days and it doesn't seem a great place to watch football. Another one ticked off the list though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 How many Arbroath fans were there last week? Although struggling to remember if there was an away gate? Seemed a decent crowd from us and the 590 or whatever seems a lot higher than the usual, granted the Edinburgh clubs weren't playing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
