I remember a new signing (playing his fourth game for us) going through on the keeper to win the match but the ball bobbled a bit on the Boghead turf. Whatever happened to Paddy Flannery? Nah. No bobble. Flannery was rubbish at one-on-ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastries are so shite down in England, they’re always the kind of pies you need to eat with a knife and fork. The only advantage they have down here is that they can sell beer in the concourse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the steak bridie at East End park is better than a Forfar bridie. I'll need to try a haggis bridie at some point. Sounds amazing.It's nice to see a lack of Edinburgh City fans on this thread tonight. Hopefully they'll be out having a good time and so they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should’ve taken advantage of it when our paths crossed in the Championship/1st Division. The only L2 grounds I haven’t been to for next season are Bonnyrigg and Albion Rovers. Believe or not, I’ve always really wanted to go to Cliffonhill, just to see how bad it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ground is a bin that holds no romantic sway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The Station bar in Larbert must be the closest pub to a railway platform on Scotland. If I'm wrong, I'm open to suggestions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprised Dumbarton have gone down, slightly surprised EC have done for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 The Station Bar in the Vale.That's a good shout. I've been in that pub but probably not this century. Mallard (IIRC) in Dingwall literally backs onto the platform? Not surprised Dumbarton have gone down, slightly surprised EC have done for them. I might get to try there if we get a cup draw. It'll be a while till we play County in a league match I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
