What a player Aaron Dunsmore is!

He had a really poor spell with us where he didn’t look interested (believe a move to Dunfermline fell through) but aye he’s a good player, terrific at pinning the other team back, glad he’s doing well for youse.

That was... unexpected. Mind you if I'd expected it I'd have been down the bookies to lump a tenner on a 4-0 City win. 

1-0 up through a Beattie header and Elgin were enjoying a wee spell of pressure. I'm thinking "Could do with a second here" and Elgin's goalie obliged us, somehow failing to judge a Walker daisy cutter which crept into the net. The icing on the cake was then supplied by a Rodger header and a neat bit of robbery by El Alagui. We could have had more. Also City have developed a habit of rattling crossbars and abusing goalposts in recent games.. 

Basically we scored the sort of goals today that other teams usually score against us. Also pleasing to see a couple of the Under 20s come on later in the game.

He's probably been one of our best players this season. Moved up to right mid from right back yesterday and had a stormer. That could be his best position to be honest. Still only 20/21, I suspect he'll get a chance in the championship sooner or later.

What's the story with Karim Belmokhtar? Seems like he played a few trialist games at the start of the season before signing for City and making a stunning debut.

Then appears to have disappeared before turning up as a trialist for our last two games.

Anyone know what happened?

Nothing too serious otherwise Clyde would have signed him.

I believe he tried his luck in France after leaving us.

The legend that is Jordan Caddow had joined Dalkeith Thistle. 
Can't blame the lad for wanting first team football but he'd been with City on and off for years. East of Scotland League winners medal and two Lowland League winners medal and also played in the Scottish League- no bad for a torn faced bugger (:lol:)

Lovely lad & good pal.

Wish him all the best.

He’ll be a standout at EOS next season

Some said it looked like something out of communist East Europe and now Meadowbank has its own Berlin Wall! No doubt to stop some enterprising "scrap merchants" from Lochend.

I guess we're not getting that sign back then....

The ludicrous booking Craig Beattie picked up for simulation in the Elgin match has now been rescinded.

A City committee member is pictured here presenting video evidence to the appeals committee:

You'd think such a tasty fixture as us v Cowden tonight would have its own thread.

Oh well, Cowden to try and desperately cling on as the mighty slick City scoring machine stick a few in the net as we try and catch up with the Berwick bandits.

Bring it on!

Wheres best to park? Morrisons or is there a time restriction?

Ah the proverbial relegation 15 pointer.. 

Will be attending this one. Saw Pars play in a preseason tournament here. Don't think this fixture will have the same appeal without the crumbling communist architecture of Meadowbank as a backdrop.

1-1 so still a 15 point gap with one less game to play. City overtake Berwick on GD.
