He'd just signed and was a neighbour of Dave Stoker's so we popped round to his gaff one night and interviewed him. Good guy. Pre-season friendly at Forrester's Park between Tranent and Thistle. I was not very familiar with Junior football at the time. I see an old guy in a bunnet in the shed and think "that's good- a guy supporting his local team". Couglin puts in a typically robust tackle right in front of the shed. The previously harmless looking and quiet auld guy comes out with the immortal words "COUGHLIN- YA BIG NEWTONGRANGE C*NT!!!" I never did find out what the story with the ****** was.... I think MBEP Issue 3 never appeared so nobody found out in the end.

tamthebam Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Issue 3 did appear I'm sure- I have vague memories of doing 4 issues. It may have been a ****** (hopefully that will get past the P&B filter) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 10 hours ago, Mr Blobby said: Nico was on the bench for the Annan and Cowdenbeath games back in November (12th and 19th). I think he was almost ready to come back after the long injury but then disappeared from view again. It was only when we spotted Nico on crutches, walking on the pitch and around the ground last Saturday that we knew something was wrong. Didn't notice any write-up about him in the Citizen. We had a chat outside the entrance but the lighting was too poor for the GoPro Session though. I suppose when you've been going to football for years you pick up on these subtle clues. Only Mr Blobby could shine out like a shaft of gold when all around is dark. Apart from a stream of bat's piss, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) The Citizens game with Cowdenbeath was cancelled due to frost at Central Park so we went over to watch the Edinburgh City squad play a nine-a-side training match on the full size pitch at the Oriam Centre in Riccarton from around 12.45 to 13.15. The area was sectioned off in 2 quarters. One for Edinburgh City and the other for Edinburgh United. The other half of the pitch was given over to several women's frisbee teams. Man of the Match was assistant manager Ross MacNamara (at least I think it was him) who zigzagged through the defence and shot a cracking goal past Calum Antell. Fair to say Stobie also lost a goal at the other end and was none to pleased about it. Good work out. There's seating for 500 (in only 3 rows) on one side of the pitch which gives the viewer an idea of how the New Meadowbank Stadium would look if present plans are accepted (not). Just had a thought. I had a vision of Alick Milne here at the Oriam Centre next year sitting at a table with a tin box collecting the entrance fee from supporters on match days and selling the Citizen programmes.

Mr Blobby Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Ouzy See in action on the ball at the Oriam Centre today. Still too soon for Josh Walker though. He wasn't there. Edited January 14, 2017 by Mr Blobby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Bit of a blurry shot from today's Edinburgh City training session at the Oriam Centre. This was taken with an old 5.1 Mega Pixels Sony Cyber-Shot camera but the batteries died after only 2 takes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Ended up at the Spartans game today (saw Tam the Bam wandering around with his camera and sure I spotted Gary Jardine upstairs at half time) and saw in Craig Graham's programme article that both City and Hibs Ladies have asked to use Ainslie Park next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go then. Nothing official from Edinburgh City yet though. I think I'd prefer the Oriam Centre as a temporary home for The Citizens next season instead of Ainslie Park. Nice little Café up in the stand too. It could work as long as all the matches were made all ticket. The training match at the Oriam finished at 13.30. So it could have been the big boss looking down on you. Edited January 14, 2017 by Mr Blobby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you got a pie and all! Sold out.. poor show from our wee Edinburgh neighbours!! I'm glad Mr B has made Mac man of the training. He's moaning he doesn't get enough of a write up here.

Ross is the sitting image of Josh Walker. (That's who we thought it was at the Oriam until Ouzy See told us it was the assistant manager showing off his ball skills with a shimmy here and a neat nutmeg there followed by a cracking goal past Calum Antell. (sadly missed by my GoPro Session that decided to pack up at the crucial moment) Ross and Josh are both in a race and in the running now to see who gets fit first for a crack at a key midfield position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a pie and it was guid got it before the game mind you. Noticed when I went back for a drink at half time they had a sign up saying hot food sold out. To be fair to Spartans there was a decent crowd there so may have got caught short with their order. Had the pleasure of Grim selling me a programme 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I take it when Craig refers to "close rivals" he is talking about Hibs Ladies in comparison to Spartans Ladies. It can't be City because we're a Scottish League club and not some non-league diddies! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
