scrooge1928 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Two Stockbridge ruffians now and looking to recruit more.As pointed out on another thread, until about 1975 Stockbridge was quite a dodgy area. There are a few streets yet which are a bit rough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Edinburgh City Fanzine now until 7 January 2017, as that's when our next home game against Arbroath at Meadowbank is taking place. (The Smokies have come round again quite quick haven't they?) If any Arbroath fans are watching - can you bring down a Steak and Black Pudding Pie with you for me? (wiling to barter). I was short-changed at the Gayfield kiosk. i.e. My 2 slices of black pudding were missing from my pie when I got back to my seat. Gutted! Hold the front page, "Free Blobby Biscuits"? It can't be true? PS. I know Gordon, It's not 'another fine mess', it's, 'another nice mess'. Read Page 11.

lowenan Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Only an away match against Berwick to finish the first half of the season. You've then played everyone home and away. Would you call the Berwick games your derby this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick claim it as a derby although Cowden is closest to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City v Spartans will always be THE derby to me but seeing as the Ainslie Arseholes are a tuppenny ha'penny club who can't get promoted to the League it will just have to be Berwick this season. Berwick-upon-Tweed is 60 miles from Edinburgh though- Cowdenbeath and Stirling are nearer. Berwick Rangers didn't join the Scottish League until 1951- 21 years after Edinburgh City did. Wee diddy non-League upstarts.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Nice break for Edinburgh City now until the Berwick Rangers game on New Year's Eve. In the second half of the season our co-ed will be giving us her views in a new feature called, Head to Head. First up will be Andrew Stobie v Calum Antell. No sooner had we sponsored Calum before the 1-0 home defeat to Montrose on 17 September, he then proceeded to have a bit of a howler in the goalmouth area with a fumble in the 61st minute. To recap: A Webster free kick on the edge of the City box, after a needless foul by McConnell, was deflected up into the path of Gary Fraser who's header was initially blocked by Calum, only for him to drop the ball right at the feet of Fraser who fired home the rebound into the roof of the net. Previously to that faux pas, Calum had actually kept City in the game when he saved a fierce volley from Fraser. Cue the next game away to Annan Athletic at Galabank on 24th September and Calum is dropped in favour of Andrew Stobie. Andrew puts in a good shift and the resulting 1-1 draw sets Edinburgh City up nicely for the next thrilling 3-3 home game with Arbroath which had both sets of fans signing throughout the entire match with Andrew again between the sticks. Two narrow home defeats at Meadowbank to Elgin City (1-2) and Clyde (0-1) still sees Andrew keep his place and then the current unbeaten League 2 run begins coupled with two Scottish Cup ties, which went to replays, sandwiched in between - The first cup tie resulting in City's first 1-0 victory of the season away to Forfar and the second ending in a rather limp 1-0 defeat to East Fife at Meadowbank. Gary Jardine was quoted as saying he would have given Calum another chance in goal but with Andrew Stobie in such fine form, it was a difficult call to make. Personally and with hindsight, I thought Calum could have been brought in for that Scottish Cup 3rd round replay with East Fife at Meadowbank but then again wouldn't that have been a big ask? -Trying to keep the team in the Scottish Cup with a plumb tie with Livingston in the next round. Maybe so. Anyway, notepads are at the ready for Berwick Rangers v Edinburgh City on New Year's Eve. (And not a mention of Mr Blobby. That must be a first for me) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyMonc Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 18 month deal for Marc Laird according to the club's Facebook account, safe to say that'll be my favourite Christmas present this year (no offence mum) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's a misleading headline if ever I saw one... Meadowbank Thistle's New Year's Day match was usually Berwick away. Couldn't play at home as the Stadium was in use for the Skol Sprint. I think we played Cowdenbeath a couple of times, presumably when Berwick were in a different division. I remember one New Year match at Berwick when it was still legal to bring alcohol into the ground, when somebody handed me a can of lager which unknown to me they had been shaking for about fifteen minutes. I swear when I opened it the spray cleared the front three rows of the stand and the track beside the pitch and just failed to reach the touchline. A young copper walking past nearly pissed himself laughing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I remember going to Forfar on New Year's Day and discovering there was f*ck all to do in Forfar in New Year's Day. There was also a New Year's trip to Stirling Albion's Annfield in a howling gale on the old plastic- the game finished 0-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a complete overhaul. The under 20s weren't performing. Also there's diddy clubs(Spartans) with a much better youth system then we have. I think the club are just starting over again with a complete clearout. Not a single under 20 I'd ready to make the step up to the first team and that needs to change because if we get an injury crisis or suspensions we'll need some of the young uns to step up to the plate. I've gone and watched the under 20s a couple of times this season and trust me this needed to be done. Do feel for the staff released though because the ones I've met especially what was the under 20s head coach was a genuinely nice bloke . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been along to watch he U20s but going by results the club needed to do something. I do feel for those released but football is like that sometimes. Delighted to see us hold on to 7th place after yesterday's run of fixtures. Goodness me it's tight though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
